I could’ve forgiven her if she had only spun the basketball around her while in the shirt, but removing it from the shirt…… I can never forgive that.

I’m sure there’s a name for the genre, but for some reasons I intensely love incredibly talented people who jam about random, mundane, strange subjects. I really like many of his videos but this one has such a strong, unnecessary call that I always have to answer…

You have to go further than that. A huge population only cares about itself and has made it a part of their identity. Those who have it well don’t have to think about those without: drive to or work from home, live and socialize on internet platforms that isolate themselves from the plight of those with less. They can order everything online and have it delivered to their door - they have no clue and depending on how separated they are from those struggling, they may just say, “those people just aren’t working hard enough,” or some similar line of thinking. It’s not hopeless, but we need far more progress in the US, especially with wage inequality and affordable living/homes. Jeff Bazos is allowed to help buy up single family homes so the rich can rent them out…it makes me so angry and sad.

I think your consideration isn’t bad and many, including myself, believe China won’t attack…unless there’s a weak US President/leadership. Consider that Crimea was invaded under Obama but Ukraine was outside the west’s protection; same can currently be said of Taiwan but Taiwan is less about what is has to offer to the west (beyond a western friendship) and more about containing China deep into their waters. Ukraine had a lot of political tensions in the early 2010s and I think Obama was stuck in a nuanced position that ultimately boiled down to: how committed and effective will Ukraine be against Russia (corruption was a huge consideration around 2014). But Obama should have done more (including the EU) sooner. This allowed Trump to play both sides: publicly lick Putin’s boots while allowing military assistance to Ukraine - pleasing the military complex at the very least, regardless of who won. But even as Trump’s administration was wrapping up their mess, you could tell some in the GOP were setting a stage for pulling back military assistance; still are trying. Biden made sure assistance was unwavering and wants to degrade Russia in the eyes of the world while the west’s military complex shovels in taxpayer money. Taiwan, under Democrat leadership, is an easy choice: they’re not corrupt even with their wing of China friendly politicians, they’re trained and continue to be armed to the teeth with only one purpose: hold until the west comes to their defense (including S Korea and Japan). I honestly believe Hong Kong was too hard to defend from China but perhaps it might have played out differently under a Democrat POTUS. Lastly, Taiwan doesn’t have to “win” so much as make sure China doesn’t win; I think the US would be fine with another North South Korea tension if it keep China in their waters and off of Taiwan and their waters; most notably off of their eastern waters/shores.

The structures of our observable universe are larger than you might think.

If you’re truly interested in jumping into the rabbit’s black hole.

Everyone’s knowledge obviously varies so I won’t assume yours, but I’d invite you to closely study stars that form into neutron stars and then study neutron stars until you have a very good understanding of their evolution; I found them to be more interesting than black holes and one of the most extreme and large objects where a lot of quantum mechanics is needed to best understand them. In this process you’ll learn about neutron star’s various but inevitable transformations. And the more you learn about them, the more you’ll understand black holes and the unanswered questions about them.

All of that said, here are two fun questions to consider in trying to answer your question:

• How does gravity escape a black hole?
• What happens to light and mass in the center of a black hole?

Math is an extremely powerful tool but as we’re unable to know the limits of physics within a black hole, this leaves us able to play with mathematical theories and often allows for infinities to arise - to renormalize or not to renormalize, that is the question? So then you must ask yourself where you want to draw the line: in what can be observed (including what neutron stars reveal about extreme gravitational bodies), or add the mathematical theories that can explain the internal workings of a black hole? Sure, I’ll take interest in the latter but always remember it’s just a mathematical theory and continue to have an open mind to new discoveries…

I’m waiting for an Aussie to enter the chat…

Honestly, that’s fine - Lemmy is now a known alternative and best of all, has time to grow more naturally and be better situated for the next eventual migration (I’m a Reddit migrant myself).

Indeed. MOND has a drop of finical investment that Dark Matter is getting. That said, I do feel JWST continues to help put focus on the two and the more MOND enters debates, the more it will propagate. MOND, at the very least, shows us there’s a way to reliably predict and fit observations at galaxy regimes and some versions even purpose a consistent cosmological structure formation on all scales in relativistic extensions of MOND.

This is more like doing a + game replay - he was pretty much as OP in end game as he was from the start. 🤓

Plz, plz watch Matrix before or after Tron - it’ll blow your mind 🤯

At least create jobs for the best within their construction fields and this create openings down the line. Win-win.

That last line was a little too forced. But the info near the end is good stuff. The universe is entropic and likely has more energy, movement and mass than previously observed.

STIM doesn’t include ethics, psychology, and sociology. It’s amazing how many book-smart people are terrible humans.

If you start studying the electromagnetic properties of celestial bodies of all sizes, there’s seems to be some level of connection and/influence.

If you haven’t discovered it yet, here’s a good link to Tom Zlosnik’s iNSPIRE (HEP) Literature papers; he’s one of the lead researchers. While RMOND is down the list a little (cited ~113 times) his most recent papers are very interesting too and dig deeper into supporting RMOND. It’s a lot of math that goes well over my head but even for non-professionals, there is meaningful information between the equations. I’ll be eventually writing a profile for Tom and Constantinos Skordis (RMOND’s other author) and RMOND itself for this Lemmy instance.
