Cavs Should Trade Lebron to Golden State

Cleveland ought to finally get rid of Lebron James to have more space on its salary cap. Its not too late to look to the future and finish last in its division next season to secure the number one draft pick that it can trade away.

Kyrie Irving should go to the Lakers; he is a Laker sort of player, Golden State needs to have another star to assure its victory over Cleveland should they make it back to the finals.

Congress Passes Russian Sanction Bill to Harm US Interests

The Congress passed another Russian sanctions bill to further damage U.S. financial interests. Americans would be better off with normalized bi-lateral relations and extensive American travel in Russia and vice versa.
 

In addition to passing a vast corporate health care bill that wrenched everything up good and left out millions of the poor from any realistic free medical provisioning, the Congress can't pay off the public debt, spends tens of billions on Ford aircraft carriers that a variety of next-gen drones will be able to put down, and can't get along with Russia after the cold war ended.

Aircraft carriers are the modern equivelent of dreadnauts-good in their day yet of decreasing survivability today. The Japanese launched the first aircraft carrier, the Hosho,  in 1922 and the Brits followed in 1924 with the Hermes. I saw an aircraft carrier at sea on the horizon once and it was huge. It was a vast, metal box target sinkable from above and below; the maritime equivelent of helicopters for soldiers with shoulder-fired missilles. If I was a naval weapons designer with modern tools aircraft carriers would be my ideal work assignment to create attack weapons for. If the U.S. Government invest to many tens of billions in aircraft carriers (the recently commissioned one cost 13 billion) they may allow a quick win by globalist with a few state-of-the-art weapons removing the15 U.S. carriers from existence.

Maybe one could invent something like large, disposable hollow super-cavtating torpeodoes each with an F-35 inside to launch a jet and some sort of new in air or on-the-water retreaval/catch system. There must be thousands of presently unknown methods for launching individual aircraft from oceans.

If the United States government could get along with the Chinese and Russians much better it might be possible to better spend tsome of the billions of dollars wasted on military items that should go to extra-terrestrial development of human and agri-cultural pioneering.

They let North Korea develop the ability to nuke Anchorage with ICBMs, can't get a man to set foot on the moon much less a woman or raven, destory the environment, marginalize Alaskan wolves, sponsor greenhouse gas increase and are basically minimalists on efficiency. The U.S. Congress is something like a cult of special interests.

Congress is good at enriching the rich and themselves and that's the bottom line.

Shouldn't Mueller's Alien Probe Have a TIme Limit?

President Trump is understandably irritated by the ongoing efforts of democrats to smear and snare him with importunate ties to Russian efforts to get him elected, as improbable as that is. If President Trump had directly conspired with Russia to defeat Hillary that would have been videoed and released to wikileaks if he did not support Russian and possibly Exxon oil interests.


Former Director Mueller as grand inquisitor into all things Russian and Presidential has apparently begun a fishing expedition into President Trumps financial empire, and that seems off-base. Yet the Democrats have continued raising dust from a thousand hooves that requires clarification and settling down as the issues are corralled and nullified.


It would be wrong to allow partisan charges that are largely specious to occupy too much of the President's term of office. Therefore Former Director Mueller should be required to wrap up his probe before Sept. 1st and the President should accept that.  The nation should not let Democrats conduct false news and false charge driven intifada as a normal auxiliary to unfavorable election results.

Majorana fermion- particle that's its own anti-particle (in 4 dimensions?)

 In non-euclidean geometries squares and circles may be equivelent when 90 degree angles are flattened, yet that's just in regard to area, if shape may be construed as purpose for particular space configs.

Majorana fermion- particle that's its own anti-particle

http://news.stanford.edu/2017/07/20/evidence-particle-antiparticle/

 Makes me wonder if anti-particle symmetry is just for four dimensions, and if there are an infinite number of anti-particles (spin vectors) in quantum super-position for all. Can one particle be greater than all it theoretical anti-particles for each particular location?

Should Former Chess WC Anand Retire? (No)


  
Anand usually isn't the world's number one even if champion. He seems to be good at winning events sometimes with judicious use of draws and critical wins (Giri has the draw part yet not the critical wins). Probably he won't be able to beat Carlsen or Wei Ye eventually, yet he could make the candidates in the future.
There is no point in Anand retiring; Karpov didn't. Instead he should see how long he can remain a super GM...maybe into his late 60s, and make money advertising health supplements for keeping  older brains sharp. Retiring to Valhalla (it's a retirement community in the east) or Pittsburg probably isn't such a wonderful thing. Intellectuals should increase productivity until shortly before death, while athletes tend to need to retire early (maybe 40)  and collect a pension.
 Of course some male marathoners compete until 80 I think, while women quit a decade sooner.
