A nuclear physicist and MIT professor fatally shot outside his Massachusetts residence. A retired Air Force general missing from his New Mexico home. An aerospace engineer who disappeared during a hike in Los Angeles.
These are among at least 10 individuals connected to sensitive US nuclear and aerospace research who have died or disappeared in recent years, prompting concerns whether they are connected and fueling speculation online about the possibility of nefarious activity.

Someone please tell me why I’m suddenly thinking of Sum of All Fears?

Because the president was caught keeping espionage and nuclear secrets documents in his home by a photocopier while taking money from foreign countries that would really like to have a nuclear weapon and then a bunch of US spies and nuclear weapons experts died afterward? Could that be it? Just spitballing here.

Wow, is Trump speed running a Clancy novel?
On purpose?!

Yes, he's speedrunning a Clancy plot. No, he doesn't read enough to know it, which actually makes it more concerning in my opinion.

This is a conspiracy theory. The quotes in the article, from NASA and from each individual interviewed, make it obvious that there is no larger pattern. Scientists, like all people, die. These cherry-picked examples have been weirdly strung together by the internet and then paid attention to by the administration for no apparent reason.

Republican member of committee: "It's very unlikely this is a coincidence. This is a grave national security threat."
Democrat member of same committee: "We're holding the investigation, but this is very likely a coincidence."
Daughter of one of the dead: “From what I know of my dad, there’s no train of logic to follow that would implicate him in this potential federal investigation,”

This seems like fearmongering from the Trump administration.

3 Body Problem.. physics is broken.

Ill-conditioned equations describing dynamic systems are ill-conditioned. But the observed phenomena match the equations to an insane level of precision. So no, physics is not broken. It's more that nature is complex and often nonlinear.
