I thought net neutrality was a bad thing.

Net neutrality is the net being neutral, not having preferences.

It feels weird to imagine being in another universe with different laws of physics.
Like with different constants for gravity and such.  

Like literally could be like walking through a doorway and shrinking or growing or exploding.  

Feels weird to think of matter properties being dependent on the universe's properties.  You can't really separate the two.

Aw man I remember reading about some book/project where the author changed some fundamental concept to negative and then rebuilt everything around that. I'm trying to find a link.

Guess this is a science thread thing

Elon Musk is also part of Trump's Strategic and Policy team. Same with Blue Origin's Jeff Bezos. Hopefully this is a good sign for space funding.

That chart...  3.074 trillion dollars are represented in those 11 companies.  :o

thats encouraging.  still scared about trump gutting climate science tho..  

he has shown interest in expandig space xploration tho,  although i question his ability to get funding for those idea's.
