#MakeAmericaSmartAgaun Absolutely Mind blowing Video Shot from the Space Shuttle during Launch | UNTOLD UNIVERSE

This is way cool. Now think about the "rocket science" required to launch the shuttle, and the technology it took to make it reusable.

Irish faux pas

Ye, the Irish were the wretched

Everyone looked down upon them, much as "we" do today on muslims. Thanks Enda, for putting it out there for him to chew on.

No one respects women more than he does. No one.

Einstein

Pi day also happened to be Einsteins birthday.

Everyone instantly recognizes his name, but most forget that in addition to being a brilliant scientist, he was essentially a refugee. He was a Jew from Germany who came to the US in the 1930s, after being persecuted in his homeland.

Thinking about this, there are two other things about him that may also be relevant today: in spite of being well educated, he was fairly poor; and he lived here for a fairly long period before he got his citizenship.

But that's not all there is to say about the man. Einstein had interests beyond science.

He was a social activist. Of the nazi regime he said "[they] shun popular enlightenment, and more than anything else in the world, fear the influence of men of intellectual independence."

He was a member of the NAACP, and passionate about being against racism. He called racism the "worst disease in the US, that's handed down from generation to generation" and was vocal about it, giving talks on the subject.

Einstein also encouraged socialism and was critical of capitalism, and gave talks on that too. He strongly advocated the idea of a "democratic global government" that would check the power of nation-states in the framework of a world federation.

Keep that in mind. Everyone can and should contribute to society on an intellectual level as well as have a social conscience. Keeping people down or out because they are different or merely poor is not a solution to anything.
