Gets sillier, doesn't it?

When do you reckon the military/industrial complex came into existence?

Was this before or after the discovery of the cosmic microwave background?

If measurements of the deceleration parameter had turned out differently,
would steady state cosmology be "the creation myth of the Military/Industrial
Complex"?

What testable predictions are made by the Norse legend? If there are any,
have they been tested? With what results?

Do you, in fact, have a clue?

yours testily,
