Ye Cannae Change the Laws of Physics!
Here's a great article from The New York Times which basically boils down to the fact that no matter how hard you work, or how brainy you are, you can't unscramble an egg.
Now if these boffins had been Star Trek fans they would have saved themselves lots of trouble because as Mr Scott warned Captain Kirk manyyears ago:
"Ye cannae change the laws of physics!"
Scientists managed to reverse time by a millionth of a second for some particles in a quantum computer. But it was a Pyrrhic victory at best. https://t.co/0XIxWu2kiE— NYT Science (@NYTScience) May 9, 2019
Ye Cannae Change the Laws of Physics! (08/03/18)
As a result, astronomers say the rules of physics may need to be rewritten in order to understand why.
But as every Star Trek fans knows:
Ye cannae change the laws of physics, laws of physics, laws of physics;
Ye cannae change the laws of physics, laws of physics, Jim.

'We Come in Peace, Shoot To Kill' (01/02/18)
I caught up with Donald Trump's first 'State of the Union' speech which was delivered in Washington on Tuesday.
Now having spent his first year in office completely 'trashing' his predecessor President Obama and political rivals, Trump had the bare-faced cheek to say that he was "extending an open hand" to Democrats to work together before imploring the whole country to come together as "one team, one people and one American family."
Ha, ha, ha, ha - now that is funny!
Especially coming from one of the most divisive presidents in American history as well as the one with the lowest approval ratings of any first year American president.
Reminds me of one of the lines from the great 'Star Trekkin' song by The Firm - We come in peace, shoot to kill'!
