    Beijing: Hong Kong police raided a museum dedicated to the Tiananmen Square massacre on Thursday, confiscating photographs and displays.

    As the public looked on, officers hauled out boxes of objects relating to June 4, 1989, when the Chinese military killed thousands of peaceful students.

    ‘NSW recorded 1542 new cases.’

    So lockdowns, curfews, masks, vaccines, police beating people up, shutting playgrounds, doesn’t stop the spread.

    Righto.

    So, Glad the Loudhailer, Keeper of the Iron Pyrite Standard, the Typhoid Mary of COVID-19, has decided that she and her Ministers don’t want to face scrutiny over the really bad situation that is imminent. From next week the daily COVID updates will be presented only by video link and only by NSW Health staff.

    What an absolute shower Gladys is. She failed to lock down Bondi and Waverley LGA and thereby allowed the virus to spread to Greater Sydney and the rest of NSW and to the other States, especially Victoria. She should be drummed out of office.

    She and Hazzard and Barilaro should be excoriated by the media for announcing that things will be much worse next week, so they are going to run away and hide.

    Hi, Calli! Sent from a Bunnings click-&-collect queue…                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Bunnings is so disorganised. Ordered stuff, still hadn’t replied after a week. when I grizzled they said 1 item not available. Item still listed on website. When I went to pick up the other stuff nobody knows what’s going on except I got lucky with young Pacific Islander girl. After she brought the stuff out I asked her in a loud voice in hearing distance of the other staff “how come you’re the only one who knows how to do her job”. Evil looks ensued.

    Look at this shit at the Age *

    ‘The historic moment has arrived for Novak Djokovic. Some time very soon, the world No.1 is going to affirm his record as the most successful male tennis player of all time, probably the greatest male or female, and well in the argument for the outstanding individual athlete of any kind, ever.

    The accolade comes, often, through gritted teeth and with watering eyes. Djokovic’s greatness is acknowledged, what’s more, by the millions who have stopped watching tennis because they can’t stomach him. Nobody has done more in their sport while doing less for their sport. It’s a bizarre but compelling legacy.’

    Because he believes tennis players should be able to make their own health choices.

    I have had enough.

    Can people stop posting nonsense here about quantum mechanics and special relativity?  Instead of posting on this thread go and read an undergraduate physics text or watch some Youtube videos if reading is too hard.  E.g. Some of the MIT lectures are really good.

    And the rest of you: PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE TROLL.

    The original double slit experiment with light performed by Thomas Young in the early 19th century demonstrated the wave nature of light.

    The photoelectric effect demonstrates the particle of nature of light; the explanation of which Einstein won a Nobel prize in 1905.

    A diffraction experiment with electrons, performed by Davisson and Germer in 1927, demonstrated the wave nature of matter.  However, the much discussed double-slit experiment with electrons is typically a thought experiment popularized by Richard Feynman in his lectures on quantum mechanics and is rarely conducted in the real world.

    The non-existence of the aether was demonstrated by Michelson and Morley in 1887 when they determined  the speed of light was independent of the motion of the Earth and subsequently explained by Einstein in his theory of special relativity in 1905.
