Occupying Planet Pepe

Eurasia: Putin Dreams and Versailles Creams.

The Union of Charly and Vlad is the kind of same-sex marriage that makes Pepe's long slog so very worthwhile. All those hard years of sipping lattes and slinging down beluga caviar were not all for naught, bien sur. And now a world safe for Versailles and The Pissing on the Peasants lies at hand. Marx's in his Heaven, and All's Left in the World.

"ALGORITHMS, MOFO! DO YOU SPEAK IT?! So how can you sum up the last 10,000 years of scientific discovery in a completely universal way? Easy: MATH. The aliens won't know who Pythagoras was, but they'll sure as shit know his theorem. The right triangle will show our alien visitors, without any doubt, that humans are scientific-minded..."

MFT's Upcoming Excellent Adventure

From the desolate bleakness of Mott to the desolate bleakness of Bayanhongor. Geez, MFT, couldn't you have thrown in a week or two on Palau in between?

Have a great time, komrad, and enjoy Christmas and the New Year before Ulaan bators you.

Of Course "She" Doesn't Understand. Pepe in Drag is Still a Pepe

The Constitution of the USA, the Napoleonic Code, Sharia, whatever whim strikes Kim Jong Il that fine morning, hey, why shouldn't US Citizens be ruled by all these in our own nation? It's not as if France or Malaysia don't use our laws to decide issues in their courts. Right, Ginspepe?

Another G.U.T.: Post-Einsteinian World

While general relativity is very successful in describing the gravitational interaction and the structure of space and time on large scales [205], quantum gravity is needed for the small-scale behavior. This is usually relevant when curvature, or in physical terms energy densities and tidal forces, becomes large. In cosmology this is the case close to the Big Bang, and also in the interior of black holes. We are thus able to learn about gravity on small scales by looking at the early history of the universe.

Starting with general relativity on large scales and evolving backward in time, the universe becomes smaller and smaller and quantum effects eventually become important.



Of course, I could've told you the same: Loop Quantum Cosmology happens all the time with the beer reserves (or depletion of) in my fridge. It's impossible to not take full account of the local -- at home -- beer supply.

Why Pepe's room is a mess

Greenspan, Osama, and the Albanian Ponzi scheme

"Greenspan was considered a master," Tremonti declared. "Now we must ask ourselves whether he is not, after [Osama] bin Laden, the man who hurt America the most. "The system is collapsing, exactly like the Albanian pyramids collapsed." Ouchhh... Don't worry, says JJ, Freddie Mac will fix things up in no time. Sure, have some more ouzo.

Brain fry

Bugorski not only survived, but completed his PhD without virtually any damage to his intellectual abilities, except for a marked fatigue, loss of hearing and having the left side of his face paralyzed. A day at the office for your random grad student.

Meanwhile, Things Get Worse- II

Mathematics Genealogy Project: Henri Paul Cartan

While academics understandably need to compartmentalize to get anything done, it's also interesting to keep that Bigger Picture in mind. Check out the link to the Henri Paul Cartan genealogy project. Note: this link is a collaborative effort, in part with North Dakota State University (based in Fargo -- insert "You-Betcha" here).
