* Should a Satanist riot?* The individual should do what they feel they must* Where is the individual in a riot, protest or looting?* The mob sways individual thoughts* Are there alternative ways of expressing dissent?* The worse comes out in riots, do you want to be defined by that?

* Unexplained Phenomena Keep Suggesting the Universe Isn’t What We Thoughthttps://www.vice.com/en_us/article/3azqq3/unexplained-phenomena-keep-suggesting-the-universe-isnt-what-we-thought* the laws of physics might not apply everywhere* Scientists operate under the assumption that there are universal laws of physics that affect matter the same way everywhere, from our own solar neighborhood to galaxies billions of light years away.* while there are obviously variations in the density and distributions of matter across space, scientists assume that the universe is statistically homogenous at large scales of hundreds of millions of light years, because the actual hard wiring of the universe is equally applied everywhere.* This notion of universal laws, known as the cosmological principle, has produced centuries of theory and has so far been borne out by astronomical observations. * “The cosmological principle is, in more tangible terms: Is the universe playing fair with us?” explained Robert Caldwell, a professor of physics and astronomy at Dartmouth College, in a call. “Are the laws of physics the same everywhere? Or is there a preferred location in the universe?”* two teams of physicists published completely different observations of anomalies in the universe that hint at potential variations in fundamental laws and forces.* past studies sketching out a “directionality” conjuring up a possible model of the universe where physical laws shift in certain directions as if they are on a mysterious cosmic gradient.* new studies document phenomena, at both “local” and extremely distant scales, that are currently unexplained and that challenge our fundamental expectations* four known fundamental forces of nature: Gravitation, electromagnetism, and the weak and strong nuclear interactions.* the strength of the electromagnetic force is calculated with a value known as the fine-structure constant. This constant is mathematically scaffolded to unchangeable values such as the Planck constant and the speed of light. If the universe is truly isotropic, the fine-structure constant (like all constants) should never change* over the past decade, scientists have measured this constant in distant pockets of the universe and found evidence that it may fluctuate. * This puzzling trend reached a new milestone with “the most distant direct measurements of [the fine-structure constant] to date,” from an ancient “quasar” galaxy 13 billion light years away, which are reported in a Science Advances study published in April.* accomplish this feat with a specialized spectrograph called X-SHOOTER on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile. The instrument’s acuity in the near-infrared part of the spectrum enabled Webb and his colleagues to peer at objects at higher “redshifts,” meaning they are farther away in distance and also further back in time,
