#COVID: Biden Orders Wuhan Lab Leak Probe After long-running skepticism that treated it as a Trumpian conspiracy theory, the possibility that the coronavirus pandemic started in a Chinese lab is now mainstream. That’s because President Biden yesterday ordered a 90-day probe of that theory. Why now? Intelligence reports say the Wuhan Institute of Virology, based amid the first reported outbreaks in December 2019, saw ailing staff hospitalized a month earlier. That’s prompted the U.S. Senate to unanimously block funding for the lab, while Beijing, which has been criticized for withholding data, warned against “politicizing” research, while supporting a “comprehensive” study of early COVID-19 cases. Sources: Yahoo, Newsweek, DW Should the lab be probed? Or is this politics?

Andrea Taroni His starting point is Hesiod’s Theogony, a poem from around 700 bc on the birth of the Greek gods. In the beginning, there was chaos. Tonelli uses ‘chaos’ in its original sense — a chasm or void so enormous that it could swallow and contain everything — rather than with its more modern connotation of disorder. Just as silence can be understood as a superposition of opposite- phase sound waves that cancel one another out, the void can host unlimited quantities of matter and antimatter, yet have a net energy of zero. The Universe was born 13.8 billion years ago from a random quantum fluctuation in this void.

O tempo não existe!. José Moreira.

E, e deixamos de viver o presente, que é o único real, para degustar o passado que não existe mais, e nos iludirmos com o futuro que não passa de uma fantasia imaginária...

Abraço, Aloyzio
