Hollywood—What a bunch of Dumbells!

In the past, I thought the writers in Hollywood believed that we would accept anything from their low I.Q. minds. The theater attendance rates say otherwise, and that gives me hopeful optimism for America's future.I noticed writers' idiocy in Rise of Skywalker that I must report on.Rey and Kylo Ren are in a contest of the Force by trying to pull down an ascending transport. The spacecraft has two rocket motors, which must’ve exceeded 500,000 pounds of thrust. Both of them are standing on a mixture of loose earth and sand. Therefore, neither of them can be…

My curiosity was sparked by reports that Iran had enriched its uranium stockpile to 60%. What did it mean, I wondered?Natural Uranium CompositionNatural uranium ore consists of approximately 0.7% uranium-235 (U-235) (the primary fissile isotope) and 99.3% uranium-238 (U-238) (a fertile isotope), plus trace uranium-234. U-235 sustains chain reactions directly, but the vast majority of uranium—U-238—holds enormous untapped energy potential through conversion into fissile materialUranium Enrichment and U.S. Navy ReactorsEnrichment boosts the U-235 fraction. Commercial light-water reactors use low-enriched uranium (LEU) at 3–5% U-235. Weapons-grade material is ~90%+ U-235, while U.S. Navy propulsion reactors (submarines and carriers)…

I am addressing this because Congress members are appearing in a new "documentary" claiming that the government has space aliens and their spacecraft. Aliens face the same physics of space travel that we do. The distances to other solar systems are measured in light-years. E=mc² applies to aliens, too. They cannot travel at speeds greater than light or close to light. Sure, 186,282 miles per second sounds fast until you know the vast distances between the solar systems and galaxies. Even if they could get to 40% of the speed of light, it would take thousands of…
