Thanks! Great video. But it raises additional questions. How do I know that the ruler is stretched? One tickmark is still one tickmark. Do I have an unstreched ruler to measure the stretched ruler with? Does for instance the speed of light change over time relative to the expansion of the universe?

I guess I'm missing a step in the explanation. More redshift means moving away faster. But how does that directly translate to distance? It could be close and move away fast, right? Do I need coffee?

I haven't been on Twitter since Musk bought it. But yeah, I agree that it can be a problem. But I disagree that there is a simple solution like the one implemented here.

Additionally, this IS the public. They are publicly posting. Why should I not be able to publicly address what they posted publicly?

Other outlets? For instance?

That totally depends on the case. Let's say a politician or one of their associates makes an outrageous claim, then I do want to publicly shame them. I want people to know about that. If some random J. Doe makes the same claim, it might be better to have it deleted.

I disagree. I might want to highlight someone's bad behavior instead of having them silenced.

Not only will he not denounce the bomb threats, he continues to lie about the legal status of the Haitian immigrants, who are not illegally in the U.S.
