Obama is one of the "good guys," not because he opposes Trump, but because he cares about what's legal.

As fun as this is to fantasize about, it would actually be illegal.

Enrichment means that they bring in some material with some amount of radioactivity, and they separate it into portions with more radioactivity and less radioactivity. At any given time materials with all three levels of radioactivity would be there, and could be released by a bombing.

*Three levels is a gross simplification, of course.

take the L and walk away.

I'm here having reasoned conversations with thoughtful people. I left the karma farming behind on reddit, and I don't miss it. I can't lose.

The word "see" predates the concepts of neurons, chemicals, and photons by thousands of years. We see objects, not light.

The word "see" predates any concept of rods or cones or photons by thousands of years. It has nothing to do with those things.

That's not what the word "see" means. You're trying to to swap it for another word like "sense." You see objects, not light.

The light that enters your eye carries enormous amounts of information with it. Your eye and a small portion of your brain comprise a highly specific tool for extracting a small subset of that information and processing it. The information you use is only related to the last object the light interacted with, not the light itself (with the small exception being the "brightness" - that has nothing to do with the object).

No one claims to hear the air in their ears rather than the violin that is being played nearby. That's just not what the word "hear" means.
