Are the presidential election results real? Or simply a simulation?

It's science now?

You've made claims that you're unable to confirm, or elaborate on, so you say I'm not up with the science?

Have you heard of obfuscation? It's your game here.

In movies and popular culture, the president is depicted as having a finger on the button. In fact, there is no button, but rather a vast complex of rules and equipment, including careful procedures for the military to authenticate the identity of the commander in chief. The president’s emergency satchel — a black briefcase full of war plans, authentication codes and communication devices — follows him (or her) just about everywhere, carried by an aide trained in the procedures.

The president’s authority over nuclear decision-making challenges the Constitution’s clear declaration that only Congress holds the power to declare war. In practice, the arrival of the nuclear age dismantled the traditional rules by rewriting the timelines of war. It would take 12 minutes or less for weapons fired from submarines to reach Washington, and 30 minutes for warheads from most intercontinental missiles. Bombs dropped by aircraft, if they could pierce the country’s air defenses, would take only hours.

It becomes increasingly clear that you lack common sense of science.

Your conclusion of "obfuscation" here is simply a psychological projection of your unconscious mind, not my game.

Let me make it clear for you.

The central issue that let to this unpleasant situation is about the BUTTON of nuke.

I've told you my source.

You could have simply told me your source and we can now get along with each other very well.

But you kept dodging

- you've even lost the courage to tell whether it was from Wikipedia, or some American official/governmental sites.

A man who respects science has the basic ability of candid admission of flaws when new information is available.

You've either lied (pretending to have done the research) or lacked the fundamental scientific quality.

Why not tell me your source of the nuke button procedure? If you don't know, just tell me you don't know. It'll be okay.

There's the reality. Less than 12 minutes to make a decision on MAD.

And there's your constitution. Not taken into account in this scenario.

Now, identify the other players in a MAD scenario.

As a result, Congress began delegating the powers of nuclear war-fighting to the president, starting with Harry S. Truman — the only president who has ever ordered a nuclear strike against another nation.

Hawking: Humans at risk of lethal 'own goal'

Humanity is at risk from a series of dangers of our own making, according to Prof Stephen Hawking.

Nuclear war, global warming and genetically-engineered viruses are among the scenarios he singles out.

Hawking should stick to physics... He doesn't know **** about politics.

I wonder what you yourself should stick to, and by what standards do you have the audacity to declare that you know politics?

Prof. Hawking is a world citizen. He has every right to talk about the science of politics.

A political science degree and experience as a Legislative Assistant for a Senator.

What the hell is a world citizen? He's not even that gifted as a physicist. If it wasn't for the fact that he was in a wheelchair and has survived this long with ALS he would not be noteworthy at all.

YOU certainly do not get to question his value to the physics community. He's forgotten more than you've ever known I'd reckon.

Well I have studied Quantum physics and cosmology and while I'm no a physicist it is accepted by that community that with the exception of Hawking Radiation he is merely a mediocre physicist.

Go read The Grand Design by Hawking, a masterpiece of popular science which will make him unforgettable in your mind.
