In the theory of relativity we have the notion of "proper time": The clock ticks differently for each object in the space-time continuum depending on its speed/acceleration/gravity.
Einstein spoke German, and his term was "Eigenzeit". It is in a way more descriptively correct than "proper time" in English, because it really translates to "own time". Each object experiences its own time.
I propose a new term for the theory of Trumpology, in German: "Eigenfakten", or "own facts", we could also translate this incorrectly to "proper facts". Eigenfakten differ from MSM fakenewsfacts in one important way: They rely on simple gut feeling and obvious observations rather than complicated and confusing mental contortions that ride you further from the truth. For example, it is an Eigenfakt (or "proper fact" ) that 2+2 = 22. It is obvious! What the hell is all of this MSM fake news that 2+2=4??? It does not make any sense! It is an Eigenfakt that the inauguration crowd size was the biggest, bestest, yugeliest ever this year! It is also an Eigenfakt that Hillary should be investigated, not the sitting president.
So I propose the introduction of the term "Eigenfakten", or "own facts", or "proper facts" into the public vocabulary.

(869 posts)In relativity, gravity, though considered a weak force today, in abundance causes a warp in the space-time continuum. This is a fascinationg fact that was confirmed with Einstein's prediction that the gravity of the sun will warp light: During an eclipse a star was observed that was really behind the sun, proving Einstein correct. This is part of the founding blocks of e=mc2.
Trumpology also believes in the theory of gravity, and that singularities produce black holes. The mathematical formula for Trumpology theory is
g=me
where g = gravity and me = me me me!. Black holes consist of many "me!"s that absorb everything and spit out radiation, somtimes at a an incredible rate of pulsations, with the black hole spinning wildly. Things that orbit black holes in the event horizon of Trumpology never escape, they inevitably get drawn in, absorbed, and then radiated out as dangerously transformed radiation at an incredible speed.
The most interesting encounters are when two galaxies, which have black holes in their center, merge. The two black holes start interacting, and it can happen that scare us mucho one gets booted out of the system. This then becomes a rogue, lonely black hole traveling through the trumpology universe.
