Gigantic, ancient black hole threatens to upend cosmic history

SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN  UPDATES  -- agreeing with moi! AND HAS A GREAT NEW GRAPHIC (Done by an AI I'd bet.)



Give it a read. I'm gratified that the idea that dark matter was created at the very beginning of the Big Bang and started agglomerating right away to make the supersized black holes that are so mystifying. Like I said. As only an astronomy groupie, I came to my conclusions through an exercise in logic. It keeps checking out, he said modestly.

The Scientific American piece is a report on a research paper in .

Ahhh. In these times of political mayhem, it's comforting to sense the vast reaches of time. It makes four years of a presidential term seem like a spit in the ocean.

OK, This Could Be Huge

 I Mean Super Huge! All of us oldies have that nagging hunch we are heading for Alzheimer'sville. It's one of the slowest ways to die -- and it tortures your family, drains your savings and is in general giant pain in the ass  brain. SUDDENLY there is another ray of hope!  And it's from a very credible source, nature , the prestigious Brit science journal. New hope for Alzheimer’s: lithium supplement reverses memory loss in mice OK, mice. But this is just one piece of the evidence -- the latest and a very important piece of research -- but there are numerous documented observational studies showing that lithium takers (bi-polar folks for instance) have much less AD.  And get this: Lithium "slows brain aging in general." There's not much detail on this yet, but I'd say that's a good thing. Orotate!!   Not just any lithium works, apparently only LITHIUM OROTATE, a reasonably priced supplement, does the job.  This article is a little vague on the dosage...

The Fastest Fix -- Kill the Cap! Payroll Tax Cap Gains!

 There is No Respectable  Argument Against It* I would hardly miss it! 1. Removing the FICA (Social Security) Cap: Income above $176,100 is currently exempt from Social Security tax Estimated additional revenue: $100-150 billion annually 2. Including Capital Gains: Capital gains are currently not subject to payroll taxes Annual capital gains realizations: ~$800 billion to $1.2 trillion Applying 15.3% total payroll tax to capital gains Estimated additional revenue: $120-180 billion annually Combined Rough Estimate: $220-330 billion in additional annual revenue for Social Security and Medicare combined. THE AMERICAN SYSTEM ALLOWS --  ENCOURAGES! -- WEALTH TO BE ACCRUED. NOTHING SAYS ONLY THE UN-WEALTHY  HAVE TO PAY A PERCENTAGE OF THEIR INCOME IN FICA TAXES.  FAIR IS FAIR, AND IT'S NECESSARY TO HELP FIX THE...  $23 trillion Social Security shortfall and   $46 trillion Medicare shortfall projected over 30 years * I'd be happy to debate it. *G...
