Tech & Sci News

I'll give this a try. If yous don't care for it, I'll give it up. My idea is to request comments on any of these. I try to post only info that seems real, but I include some items that I can't tell, so commenters may have info to share. A lot of stuff is apparently propaganda or nonsense, which I think includes most quantum stuff, black holes, neutron stars, string theory etc. I usually ignore those topics, unless it seems that there may be useful info. I post this kind of stuff weekly on a couple other forums, but they seldom comment. I hope I won't be wasting anyone's time.
