The “Boston Bombing Hoax” = Suggested, Anticipated, & Presupposed “Evidence”
Most of what we know about national and world events we know via the media — both alternative and mainstream. This experience of events is a mediated experience, and our knowledge of these events is a mediated knowledge — that is: it comes to us via sources other than our direct, personal experience of the world….

American Atheists’ symbol is scientifically inaccurate and misleading
Question – How is it that as you said in a hydrogen atom the electron exists in a cloud around the nucleus? Isn’t it just one electron? Why is it a “cloud” around the nucleus and not like a planet around a star?
Answer – Yes, it is just one electron. The point, however, is that an electron is not what you think it is. It really is a smear, not a dot. That smear can, under some conditions, by pulled into a small region or under other conditions expanded out to a large region. So far as we can tell, that’s all there is to it. As for the idea that there’s really a dot-like position hiding in there, as we discuss above, violations of the Bell Inequalities show that such pictures are false. Continue reading
