"An astrophysicist says he may have found evidence of alternate or parallel universes by looking back in time to just after the Big Bang more than 13 billion years ago. While mapping the so-called "cosmic microwave background," which is the light left over from the early universe, scientist Ranga-Ram Chary found what he called a mysterious glow ..."
Okay, but, where did they find the bozo who narrates the video reporting this 'serious' science story: [^].
Bozo at 00:46: "Just because there's a universe created, doesn't mean we want to go there."

Was going to make fun of "science shows" in general considering how it's presented in popular media and then decided to watch the link...
It was worse.
They showed a lot of nice graphics of galaxies and the universe but I bet that the fanciest thing this Ranga-Ram Chary used to come up with this hypothesis is the color picture of the background radiation... popular science! yay....

Please note that I am not qualified to comment on the archaeo-physics research of anyone, and that my comment concerned only the "talking head" who was narrating the video.

The talking head was very expressive with his facial features. Especially there in the beginning.

Meh, that glow is the nose of Rudolph. Apparently it was Christmas at that time.
It's really funny actually. The background of the whole argument. It goes back to Einstein's biggest blunder, the cosmological constant. He put a constant in the equations of general relativity to balance out the expansion of space-time, because he couldn't agree that this is happening.
Now later on Hubble discovered that yes the universe is expanding, so there is a cosmological constant, now the quantum physicists tried to theoretically calculate the value of that constant and came up with a result that is 1.10^120 that's 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times larger than the actual estimated observed value of almost zero, very slightly above zero. Looks like very fine fine tuning.
Now in order to explain that fine tuning without invoking the hand of a divine intervention the bright minds like the above referenced background radiation scientist decided that there are 10^500 universes where the constants vary randomly until they come by chance to that particular value, so that we can sit in front of our computers to write about it.
So basically when you can't figure out something, the scientific way of solving the problem is to say, well there are 10^500 universes, somewhere in one of them I might be right.
it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

Content here refers to recent threads on 'Insider News' tiled: 'OneDrive storage plans change', 'MS downgrades One-Drive Storage Plans', and 'Google’s vice president of design thinks Windows'
My sources in the spirit world reported the following conversation at Microsoft:
Nameless VP1: "Too bad we ever offered the numnuts 'unlimited storage' "
Nameless VP2: "Somebody's going to go down for that one."
Nameless VP1: "We should have called it 'Lebensraum' ... that's hip."
Nameless VP2: "Ooh ... Nazi metaphor ... corporate suicide ... well, we're in a mean mood today, aren't we; did you just have your review, or something ?"
Nameless VP1: "Yeah, and I'm getting the minimum raise, and no new options; did you see what that rat bustard Duarte said about Win 10 ?"
Nameless VP2: "I saw that ... whaddaya expect from an advertising agency got no Office obsessed with driverless cars ?"
Nameless VP1: "Well, they do have that 'docs' thing."
Nameless VP2: "Hah ! 'Google Docs' is a train-wreck between applications and a browser."
Nameless VP1: "But, they have their ChromeBooks, and look at the mess we got into with Surface 3, and Windows RT, and Metro, and all that ..."
Nameless VP2: "ChromeBooks ? you can't be serious ... those things are just an Etch-A-Sketch game on top of a browser on top of the cheapest hardware China can make ... look at what we got with the new Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book !"
Nameless VP1: "Yeah, I'd like to look at one of our new ones, but, even with the discount at the company store, I can't afford one ... what are you using ?"
Nameless VP2: "I've got a Lenovo at home."
Nameless VP1: "and ... I wonder what browser you're using at home ..."
Nameless VP2: "I'm going to take the fifth on that one, unless you ask me when we're in a park at least 100 feet from any trees, or any other person."
Nameless VP1: "I hear that."
Nameless VP2: "I wonder how marketing's going to react to Duarte ?"
Nameless VP1: "Oh no, they won't bother with a come-back to that kind of sniping."
Nameless VP2: "Yeah, yeah: they're too busy trying to confuse people with that new ad campaign."
Nameless VP1: "I admit that when I hear 'Windows 10 Runs Everywhere,' the next thing I think is: 'I'll never catch up with it' "
Nameless VP2: "Another Martini ?"
Nameless VP1: "Your Department's budget or mine ?"

I just went to a Microsoft website for one of the many profiles I have (Outlook, MVA, MCP, Support, Profile, disaster  ) and I got the following message:
"Please click the Microsoft account icon [SIGN OUT] to sign in or create a Microsoft account."

If by "hurry the f*ck up" you mean punctuality, why yes, it is a virtue.
Unfortunately, it's never been one associated with computer hardware or software.

Because, it is not, even you were not patient when you wrote it!

Perhaps because cursing and demanding another perform in accordance to your self-fabricated expectations is not considered virtuous?
|

|
|
|
Because that's a requirement.
