Autocracy is one thing, but denying quantum mechanics? Administration doesn’t want anyone talking about Bell’s inequality.

“Here The NY Times identifies words the Trump administration erased or discouraged in federal websites and documents, along with many of the ideas that the words express.”

Strange for an administration whose negotiating style could be described as the uncertainty principle.

And no more discussion of base bias in transistor circuits

I guess we observational astronomers will save some time when taking calibrations, not being able to take biases. Flats will probably be banned too, as they erase inequalities

No barriers, either. Constant potentials only! Every particle a free particle!

Or, apparently, quantum field theory. Say goodbye to the Minimal Standard Model, folks.

Cable from embassy near war zone:

"We are ** ****. All ******** to Embassy have been removed. Control now ******* to hostiles"

At risk! Barriers! Belongs!

Who TF is redacting this shit?

Wait until they repeal the law of Gravity, and Australians all fall off, or the laws of thermodynamics, and the universe disappears in a puff of purple smoke.

No more semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering nor inclusive deep inelastic scattering processes.

koppenburg.ch•12 hours ago

Inclusive decays are gone

lbaudis.bsky.social•10 hours ago

no more nuclear versus electronic recoil discrimination, and exclusion limits are also gone

koppenburg.ch•10 hours ago

Is minimum bias still ok?

Don't forget the Law of the E******d Middle.

wow. like half of all math is inequalities. (ok, some exaggeration....but a huge amount)

peter-b-c.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Make up your mind is it < 1/2 or > 1/2

clegra.bsky.social•13 hours ago

... plus the other half, equalities, can more often than not be viewed as 2 inequalities each ...

snoozingholly.bsky.social•13 hours ago

To be fair, Trump seems entirely in favour of Chaos theory...

I learned from co-teaching with a analyst that providing an equality is nothing but proving two inequalities.

from the crimethink list:
bias towards: bad
bias against: good

Indian parliament passed something similar a few years back. Authoritarian states...

Ha :-) I would be shocked if anyone there knows what that is. But perhaps they do believe that God does not play dice with the universe 😁

adrian-prussia.bsky.social•11 hours ago

I always thought the Triangle Inequality was bunk. Finally Trump is proving Euclid to be the charlatan that he always was. Linear Algebra is just a commie plot.

peter-b-c.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Not keen on barriers either.

In WeChat, a Chinese social media app, users invent all kinds of substitutions for the sensitive words to avoid government censorship. I guess we are catching up fast.

Also clearly taking a position against all the Bayesians who would marginalize over their nuisance parameters

Oh god, please don't tell me they're frequentist...

Zut alors! Is my all-inclusive trip to an alternative universe now verboten?
