I say this because it was Ralph Nader's third-party run for president that enabled the vile George W. Bush to narrowly defeat Al Gore in the 2000 election. It's very clear that the only thing that Dr. West's candidacy can do is help elect Donald Trump. I don't think any of that is arguable.

However, we must seek to reconcile this theory with observations that are consistent with a non-expanding universe, writes Tim Anderson. You have been taught that the universe began with a Big Bang, a hot, dense period about 13.8 billion years ago. And the reason we believe this to be true is because the universe is expanding and, therefore, was smaller in the past. The Cosmic Microwave Background is the smoking gun for the Big Bang,...
