Re: Euclidean quantum gravity

I found a way to find out how to derive a mathematical theory of quantum gravity. Interested? =) I'm not a scientist, I just had an idea of how to find a theory of quantum gravity, and I forgot most of what I knew about quantum physics. Yes. Gravity has always won every conflict I've had with it ...

Honestly this gives the dems a better chance than they did before. Confidence in Biden is low. Kamala, while unlikable, would at least be able to mention names and numbers without switching them up.

If Biden wins it's because the hate for Trump is that high. I think it might be. But voters 18-35 haven't really figured out how to vote yet, so maybe Trump still has a chance. Those kids can protest and lock down a school, but they can't be bothered to go to the polls?
