Speaking of Laws.... Einstein's General Relativity Has Been Validated on a Galactic Scale -- Contrary to Modern Cosmological Curveballs

Speaking of laws....
Big Al seems to have gotten it right....

Einstein's Theory of General Relativity
has been validated on a Galactic Scale,

as reported by Maya Miller at Scientific American.

General relativity thus, using Miller's language,
correctly describes "gravity at cosmological scales".

As Miller writes:
"The results also indirectly support the theory’s validity
in the face of dark matter, dark energy
and other cosmological curveballs."

Automobile Motor Vehicle Laws: Dashcam Video Evidence Permitted in Germany by Federal Constitutional Court

Anticipating this decision, we some days ago acquired an automobile dashcom 4K camera outfit.

As reported in the news, Dashcam footage is to be permitted as evidence in German courts. Xinhua.net writes:

"The Federal Constitutional Court in Germany ruled on Tuesday that video footage captured by cameras attached to vehicle dashboards will henceforth be permitted as a potential form of legal evidence in traffic accidents in Germany."

Wichtiges Urteil: BGH lässt Dashcam-Aufnahmen als Beweismittel zu

What is still NOT legally permitted is "continuous" viz. "endless" dashcam video footage, which is regarded by existing law to be a privacy invasion. Accordingly, permissible dashcam cameras will surely have to have some kind of automatic controls that limit the length of actual dashcam filming for any given video sequence.

As a practical matter, of course, this decision will definitely lead to an increase in dashcam sales.
