The Chinese coronavirus “is emphatically a disease of globalization,” a pandemic historian at Yale University says. In an interview published in the Wall Street Journal, Yale University’s Frank Snowden — a historian who most recently in 2006 published a book about Italy’s eradication of malaria — details how the coronavirus pandemic is threatening the globalist worldview of free movement of people and free trade. Snowden told the Journal the coronavirus is a direct result of the globalization of the American economy after nearly four decades of free trade policy initiatives and is now threatening “the economic and political sinews of globalization, and causing them to unravel…”

Republicans believe we should presuppose and even continue encouraging an indefinite shutdown while spending trillions to treat the Chinese virus. Democrats believe the same thing and also want to add all their other extraneous progressive policies too. But nobody is asking: Do we really need to intensify the shutdown before we understand the data and projections of the actual virus itself? These are not mere academic questions. They should determine our public policy response…

A lawyer who met with Jeffrey Epstein in the days before his death doesn’t believe the convicted sex offender died by suicide. David Schoen, a Federal Criminal Defence and Civil Rights Lawyer told Fox Nation’s Deep Dive on Thursday that when he met with Epstein, “he was upbeat and excited about going forward.”

A theory-defying anomaly has persisted in the latest results from a Large Hadron Collider experiment, according to new results. The world’s largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, contains a host of experiments that seek to answer the unanswered questions about the nature of the universe. Mostly, these experiments have ruled out theories describing various exotic particles to explain dark matter. But one of the experiments, called LHCb, has discovered a small deviation between what they’ve measured and what’s predicted by the core theory of particle physics, called the Standard Model. After three years of data analysis, the discrepancy remains—a potential sign of new physics…

The ability to detect electrical activity in the brain through the scalp, and to control it, will soon transform medicine and change society in profound ways. Patterns of electrical activity in the brain can reveal a person’s cognition—normal and abnormal. New methods to stimulate specific brain circuits can treat neurological and mental illnesses and control behavior. In crossing this threshold of great promise, difficult ethical quandaries confront us.

Scientists may have found protein, one of the building blocks of life, inside a meteorite that spent potentially millions of years hurtling through the cold vacuum of space. The first-time discovery, if confirmed, could have profound implications for our understanding of how, and where, life comes from—and could add a wrinkle to humanity’s widening hunt for extraterrestrial life…
