In her twenties, we know she took up poetry, as well, for the suffering of the Chinese peasants weighed on her. "Village is empty of cooking smoke, Rich families let grains stored decay; In wormwood strewed pitiful starved bodies, Greedy officials yet push the farm levy."

It is an almost perfectly symmetric barred spiral galaxy, the core of which is visible to the amateur astronomer as twin spokes surrounded by a wheel or circle. At visual magnitude 9.7, it is a fainter Messier, being 34 million light years distant. M95 NGC 3351- captured this morning at 02:30 AM PST in cool …

"Fossil fuel firms clearly play a major role in the climate emergency. A major report released in 2017 attributed 70% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions over the previous two decades to just 100 fossil fuel producers.

Originally published in 10NOV2019. All rights are reserved. Of course, we begin with affirming conservation and symmetry, and see that good clocks exists based upon real, pragmatic and measurable quantities in spacetime. The best clocks make free motion look straight-forward as straight lines in spacetime. In spacetime, all freely moving particles travel in straight lines …
Originally copyrighted and published on 04NOV2019 Blockchains maybe a good set of "test particles" for General Relativity. That is, in locally accelerated frames of reference, traveling roughly in the same direction. It is, as a group, a relatively small series of "points" with little mass-energy (energy equivalence). Thus, we can say they move as "free-particles" …
