Elon Musk @elonmusk - The value of extreme precision

Math Files @Math_files
In 1798, a scientist effectively “weighed” the Earth — without leaving his laboratory.
The English scientist Henry Cavendish designed an incredibly sensitive experiment.
Inside a quiet wooden shed, he hung a horizontal rod from a very thin wire. Two small lead spheres were attached to the ends of the rod.
Nearby, he placed two much larger lead balls.
Because of gravity, the large spheres slightly pulled the smaller ones. The force was extremely tiny — so small that the rod twisted by only a minute fraction of a degree.
Yet that tiny twist held a big secret.
By carefully measuring this small movement, Cavendish determined the strength of the gravitational attraction between objects.
From this, scientists could calculate the mass of the entire Earth.
His estimate was remarkably close.
Cavendish calculated Earth’s mass to be about 6 × 10²⁴ kilograms, while modern measurements give 5.97 × 10²⁴ kilograms.
Sometimes the biggest discoveries come from measuring the smallest forces.

Elon Musk @elonmusk - To support the people of Japan and show that it was safe to visit.
Most people in America at the time were afraid to travel to Japan, due to a misplaced fear of radiation.

Elon Musk shaking hands with Soma Mayor Hidekiyo Tachiya in Fukushima Japan, July 2011
Just months after the devastating March 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and Fukushima nuclear disaster, Elon personally visited the region to launch a solar power project funded by his 250000 donation.
Standing in front of a solar panel in Soma (about 40 km from the crippled Daiichi plant), he showed support for recovery and renewables. To help ease fears and encourage normal life, he even ate fresh local fruits and vegetables there – proving the radiation risks were far lower than many believed.

Incredible investigation today from @CBSNews. Our reporters visited "ground zero" for hospice fraud: Los Angeles, California. One building had 89 registered hospices . . . Read it here:

Go fuck yourself, Senator.
As a Black man, go fuck yourself.
Especially when I KNOW you're attempting to triangulate Black people into giving Third World ILLEGALS voting rights, so YOUR accursed political entity can stay in power forever and ever.
You're an evil man.
