Closing Messages to America:

DONALD TRUMP: "America is a garbage can."

KAMALA HARRIS: "America is great because of all of you!"

Richard Feynman on String Theory :

"I do feel strongly that this is nonsense!

...I don't like that they don't check their ideas. I don't like that for anything that disagrees with an experiment, they cook up an explanation - a fix-up says, "Well, it might be true.
[...] String theorists don't make predictions, they make excuses."
