Imagine not grasping the concept of using averages to simplify visual information.

…then they use the word “flavor” both for quark color and for neutrino mass.

Evolution came up with sexual reproduction as a mechanism to keep the gene pool varied and varying. In this sense the female and male sexual organs constitute one single reproductive apparatus.

Another ingenious mechanism is the bee/flower or fly/flower or bat/flower, duos of completely separate species in beautiful, poetic symbiosis. Birds with seeds is another one.
The bees (or flies or bats) reproduce on their own, but the flower has turned those species into part of its’ own reproductive organs, in a way.

Who gives a fuck? Let him rant into the void, we all know everything that comes out of that parasite is ignorant, toxic hot air that feeds on the attention.
Lock that thing up.

Vulgarity always goes hand-in-hand with irrational, self-defeating behavior. It’s knee-jerk reaction from one minute to the next, hollow, distracted and panicky.

That’s it. Checkmate, atheists, pack it up and go home, you’ve just been one-upped forever and ever by… this one McDonald’s-eatin’ megachurch-attendin’ rando from Arkansas.

So many idiots can’t figure out who’s really rigging the game against them, even when it’s staring them in the face, blasting them with racist and fascist language and actions, with the breath of chronic bad health habits and the smell of soiled diaper.

Paleopride!

Actually, that’s pretty much scratching the belly of an expert answer, you gotta go a few layers into Quantum Chromodynamics to know that tidbit about the colors and anti-colors of gluons.

We're Watching Facebook Die (www.wheresyoured.at)

In the first quarter of 2024, Meta made $36.45 billion dollars - $12.37 billion dollars of which was pure profit. Though the company no longer reports daily active users, it now uses another metric: “family daily active people.” This number refers to “registered and logged-in users of one or more of Facebook’s Family...

Hey, that’s me as an 11-or-12-year old, I used to jog around the block in the old central section of town at night, my parents didn’t want me straying, there was an old park nearby with shady characters lurking there at night, and the old red light bar district was about three blocks away in the other direction.

For some reason, I’m finding this post quite soothing.

Fittingly symbolic, as this is the first time I’ve ever heard of North Korea ever exporting anything made there.

The only abnormal thing I see here are these willfully ignorant knuckle-dragging shitkickers.

If anybody needs conversion therapy/deprogramming, it’s these creatures infected with an anti-science, anti-reason, anti-empathy mental virus, who fancy themselves at the very epicenter of god’s creation, but from where I’m standing, they are very much in a desolate joyless godless corner to be avoided like the plague.

Imagine Edison trying to patent the “hello” greeting to get royalties every time someone answered the phone.
Then the incel fanbois defending Edison, insisting he invented the term 'hello".

My mother in law can do it, she’ll walk into a room, sniff disagreeably and say - “Huele a hormiga.”

niktemadur ,

Long ago I had this one cat named Birria, because I used to jokingly tell her mother “If you don’t behave, I’m going to make birria tacos out of you!”

When I rescued her mom, I thought she was a male, still quite young, and before I’d found a vet she disappeared for a couple of days and came back pregnant. After that, she and every cat I’ve had since then, male or female, I’ve taken to the vet to be neutered or spayed before anybody gets knocked up.

In a society where women were repressed into a very narrowly defined role with no room for deviation, the other half enjoyed an attitude of “boys will be boys” and could behave “freely” from their perspective, within a less narrow but no less rigid societal constrain.

Women were literally prohibited, or at least severely frowned upon, to embark on a myriad activities that were acceptable and expected for men. Women were literally prohibited from entering many physical spaces, and were expected to be confined to other spaces - like the kitchen, the parlor and the tea room.

I guess it was impossible even for Freud to see how “penis envy” might have been, at root, “I wish I was a man so I could escape this narrow set of rules I was born and peer-pressured into, with no choice by me, I wish I was free” (not quite free, just “less trapped”).

Oh yeah?!! Well so do neutrinos! Electron, Muon, Tau!
And it has nothing to do with quarks and chromodynamics! Up, Down, Top, Bottom, Strange and Charmed!

Here’s a grand idea: make everything as confusing as possible, with repeating or similar terminology for different things! Superstrings and Cosmic Strings!

niktemadur ,

Then watch all protons suddenly burp out a couple of leptons and a photon, instantly decay into some other lower mass thingy.

niktemadur ,

But surely with a higher mass, they’ll be - to quote C3PO here - not entirely stable, with a new lower mass and that particle having another name.

But isn’t entropy an emergent phenomenon, manifesting only at larger, relativistic (by which I mean non-quantum) levels?
Entropy doesn’t affect the fundamental symmetries I mentioned in the title. So information may not be fundamental, then?

Man… information is such a weird concept when one stops to look at it, I wonder if a true definition of it is as difficult to pin down as time.

niktemadur OP ,

[In] the Narnia books it’s like that “main world” where it was just an infinite number of ponds and jumping into one shoots you out to some world … I think The Magicians kind of ripped off the idea.

Completely off-topic from symmetries and entropies, but I can’t pass up the opportunity to mention that the specific Narnia installment where we see this “main world” and branches is The Magician’s Nephew, the sixth out of seven books.

niktemadur OP ,

As with Isaac Asimov, I much prefer order of publication.
Woe the poor soul trying to get into Foundation and instead of getting the original trilogy, they start with Prelude To Foundation. I met a guy who did that, in college; he didn’t know where to start, at the bookstore thought “Hey… Prelude… sounds like a good place to start!”

niktemadur OP ,

For example, if one starts with Prelude To Foundation as the entry point, the reveal of Eto Demerzel being R. Daneel Olivaw in disguise all loses its’ punch, while if one reads the original Robot books first, it becomes an astounding reveal, a true “holy shit!” moment, on several levels, the delightful surprise of clearly seeing Asimov kneading together two separate series so intimately and right before your eyes, the narrative doubles in size and scope in the snap of a finger.

The power of that moment, that opportunity that Asimov seized, makes it worthwhile to follow Isaac’s mind instead of the plot in chronological order.

Adding insult to injury, the Tiktokers are lip-synching to “Girl You Know It’s True”.

Aliens landed in my backyard the other day, and these little one-inch creatures came out. They walked up to me, I looked down and said - “Are you really one inch tall?” - and they said - “No, we’re really very far away”.

That’s an old Steven Wright joke. Weirdly half-forgotten, the man deserves at least as much love as Mitch Hedberg does.

“Al” looks just like “AI”.
In fact, “Artificial Intelligence Yankovich” or “A.I. Yankovich” should be the name of his next album.

Hello, fellow peace-loving comr… friend. Friend. We concerned individuals in world’s warm-water ports prefer republican government in Washington.

niktemadur OP ,

I see what you mean… I think. Let’s see if I can be more specific:

Considering that time slows down for particles moving near lightspeed, I was trying to visualize the universe immediately after the Big Bang, if it being so hot - or energetic, I think I mean to say - made time slow down in the entire, still tiny universe. And what effect this may have possibly had in the outcome we observe today.

niktemadur OP ,

Yeah… what are the dynamics of such an extreme moment? How does a moment like that unfold from the perspective of a particle that was there?
Does time “start slow” before reaching the “stable rhythm” we experience today?

The fact that I felt compelled to use quotes twice in the previous sentence betrays the fact that I don’t even know how to ask what I’m trying to ask.
