Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it. Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!

Result? CA will continue to import energy that is produced
with far more pollutants than if produced in CA.

Yes, you “don't have 4 years to waste” Left wing extremists in CA should resign, be recalled, or voted out.
"You know, most good physicists believe in the many-worlds theory."
No they don't.
Where do you come up with stuff?

Of course, destroying the earth may not be an ecological reference, it could simply be an admonition not to wage unjust wars, or not to create dystopian, oppressive, or unjust conditions.
Some? This is simply not accurate. There are very few that actually believe the many worlds interpretation. In fact even the many worlds version can be interpreted mathematically and not as actual "other" worlds. There are many other interpretations for quantum mechanics. Quantum foundations has been around since quantum quantum was formulated, and there seems to be no consensus that there is some deeper theory, or that it is incomplete. A lot of the issues are just philosophical in nature and come about when one rejects nonlocality, realism, or assume there must be some hidden variables and so on. It is very difficult to distinguish if one interpretation is actually correct or not. In fact most physicists fall in to the "shut up and calculate" camp, and that is in practice what most of physics using quantum mechanics are doing. Arguing if something is many worlds versus consistent histories is more for philosophy rather than understating most quantum systems. Sure there are smart people who like many worlds on more philosophical point of view, and it is fun to watch Youtube channels on it but it is simply incorrect to say most physicists believe the many worlds interpretation. Perhaps you are thinking of the recent Google Willow machine saying that quantum computing is doing calculations in other universes? Sure the Willow result is nice but these guys got a lot of flack for claiming computing "other universes" . There seems to be a lot of hype associated with quantum stuff right now, likely fueled by all the companies that are pushing quantum technologies and wanting their stock price to grow. A whole lot of this is hype.
