“We have excellent theoretical and philosophical reasons to think we live in a multiverse.”
—Neil deGrasse Tyson
Do parallel universes exist? I have proof that one does. I confirmed the hypothesis in a manner very like that of the young Isaac Newton, who was sitting in a garden when an apple dropped on his head. I was standing in a convenience store when a Sunday New York Times dropped on my foot. Newton, in a stroke of brilliant insight, comprehended gravity. I, in a throb of bruised toe, opened the April 22, 2018, Sunday Review section.
It had long been my opinion that the writers and editors of the New York Times and, by extension, their readers live on a different planet—the planet where a martini costs $20. But, upon perusal of the Sunday Review section, I see that I was wrong. They do not live on another planet. They live in another cosmos—a universe with different physics, different mathematics, different scientific constants, and different laws of nature.
The lead essay in the Sunday Review is by Amy Chozick, adapted from her new book Chasing Hillary. The headline is a quotation from Hillary Clinton: “They Were Never Going To Let Me Be President.”
The Hillary Clinton of Universe New York Times (UNYT) is similar to the Hillary Clinton of the known universe (U1) except that in UNYT she was the rightful winner of the 2016 election.

Hillary Clinton would been President but for treasonous, Fifth Column Russian Colluding Republicans.
It was never her fault she lost.
The Times has completely lost its mind. I never seen such a breakdown in my life; it’s completely unreadable.
I might add that PJ O’Rourke is unreadable as well as evidenced by his usual lugubrious version of humor.
The Hillary Clinton of Universe New York Times (UNYT) is similar to the Hillary Clinton of the known universe (U1) except that in UNYT she was the rightful winner of the 2016 election. Chozick’s subject is time travel—impossible in U1 but commonplace in UNYT . By means of technology unknown to the inhabitants of U1, Chozick transports her UNYT readers to an ancient period of fossilization that political paleontologists of U1 have named “Who Cares?” There, she and her audience experience phenomena hardly imaginable to us. In U1 we sometimes beat a dead horse, but in UNYT they feed it and groom it and ride it around.
Snort!
[A]nother piece...continues “American smiles are more assertive, reflecting Americans’ rating of themselves as more dominant.”
Oh brother.
See, there’s another reason I love FR. I’m smarter than I was five minutes ago. Thanks!
You’ll be even smarter if you avoid the lack of funny in O’Rourke’s writings. He’s a Never Trumper as well.
I’m not sure I’d use the word parallel. It more or less infers we’re headed in the same direction.
The NYTs is so far off, there would have to be a 90 or 180 degree angle in there somewhere.
"What are the stars?" said O'Brien indifferently. "They are bits of fire a few kilometers away. We could reach them if we wanted to. Or we could blot them out. The earth is the center of the universe. The sun and the stars go round it."Winston made another convulsive movement. This time he did not say anything. O'Brien continued as though answering a spoken objection:
"For certain purposes, of course, that is not true. When we navigate the ocean, or when we predict an eclipse, we often find it convenient to assume that the earth goes round the sun and that the stars are millions upon millions of kilometers away. But what of it? Do you suppose it is beyond us to produce a dual system of astronomy? The stars can be near or distant, according as we need them. Do you suppose our mathematicians are unequal to that? Have you forgotten doublethink?"
— from 1984, by George Orwell
Is it possible for us to communicate with Matt Drudge and ask him to PLEASE stop referring us to any link that ends up being for NYT of Wash.Compost? Does he get something out of it?
Considering you have to buy the NY Times to read it, I don’t see the point of Drudge linking to articles. I haven’t used Drudge in years, btw. FR usually gets the stories first!
The NYT’s is not in a parallel universe, they are hate and hate America as founded and normal Americans.

I agree. They know what they are doing. They are pure evil.
Tyson’ s multiverse resides soley in his theory/philosophy realm. Similarly, the Unyt resides soley in the dark craniums of their readers. The real parallel universe is the one where hillary was ready to pop the cork on her presidential ordination, and God laughed.
The apple dropping on Newton’s head is a vulgarization of Newton’s actual remarks. Looking them up, they don’t actually mention an apple, but I always felt that his reference to the time and place more or less justified the comparison to a falling apple:
“And the same year I began to think of gravity extending to the orb of the Moon & (having found out how to estimate the force with which a globe revolving within a sphere presses the surface of the sphere) from Kepler’s rule of the periodical times of the Planets being in sesquialterate proportion of their distances from the centers of their Orbs, I deduced that the forces which keep the Planets in their Orbs must be reciprocally as the squares of their distances from the centers about which they revolve: and thereby compared the force requisite to keep the Moon in her Orb with the force of gravity at the surface of the earth, and found them answer pretty nearly.
All this was in the two plague years of 1665 and 1666. For in those days I was in the prime of my age of invention & minded Mathematics & Philosophy more than at any time since.”
“I’m not sure I’d use the word parallel. It more or less infers we’re headed in the same direction. The NYTs is so far off, there would have to be a 90 or 180 degree angle in there somewhere.”
I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps their universe is coiled around the real one like a snake.
goldstategop, I like the way that rolls off the tongue! Do you mind if I use it?
Could be. Something needed tweaking...

Formerly a writer, Peej began one of his books with the unapologetic claim that he’d never voted for a Democrat in his life. I think his cancer scare or the cancer treatment ruined his brain.
