Whether string theory is right or wrong (it's way over my head), it's always a pleasure to listen to Brian Greene.
One the best known proponents of string theory, Brian Greene, describes why it is still the best theory to understand the fundamental laws of nature. But can it even be tested? This week, it’s "Skeptic Check: String Theory" buff.ly/SOmv0qH

I'd like to feel bad for Jays fans, but they were openly hostile to me when I wore the opposing team's gear (CWS) to a game in Toronto in 2024. People often describe Canadians as polite and welcoming, so I wasn't prepared to have a bad experience. I had no issues at 17 other MLB parks.
