why?

If you are standing in a closed box, there is no experiment you can make that tells you whether that box is standing on earth, or is on a rocket in space accelerating at 9.81m/s²

This has a bunch of interesting implications about the nature of spacetime

It certainly can be

Golf courses come to mind

Or cruise ships

homo homo sapiens sapiens

At the end of the story, Kushmaro is offered the task of pressing a button to denonate a building.

Cool, he’s no longer a journalist under international law then.

It’s also likely a war crime.

It is an interesting theory, for sure. Instead of countless 3-dimensional particles, you have a single (or very few) 4-dimensional objects. You can imagine it like a sheet of fabric that is our present, with everything above the sheet being the future, everything below the past. When you want to sew a thread (our electron) through the sheet, you need to pierce the fabric, but to do it again, you first need to piece it the other way, giving you a positron. You can create or destroy arbitrary many of these, but you need create or destroy one of each every time. More interestingly, it is exactly determined which two will annihilate each other, as the allegorical loop of thread gets pulled tighter and tighter until it gets pulled though the sheet. The universe would be deterministic.

I’m sure there’s a myriad of contradictions to modern QM and particle physics, but it’s fun to think about nonetheless

Pushing that civil war narrative again, when Russian troops were involved from day one? Nice

eww

Stay classy, .ml
Straight up Russian propaganda at this point

“lol”, said the scorpion. “lmao”

Who peed on my comment

Question for the people fighting the folks (most of which are leftists too) that vote Democrat out of self preservation: do you spend half as much time attacking Republicans too, or organizing out-of-parliament opposition?

A vote for Harris will not make things better. But if Trump wins, it will get so, so much worse.

More jpegified version

Not true, topolgically the route

left nostril -> sinus -> right nostril

is another hole. So is

any nostril -> sinus -> mouth.

ears have the eardrum, so they don’t count.

For the more formal definitions of topological holes, look up Betti numbers, I think there’s a VSauce video about it? For humans, the number of holes is at least 3 (but I’m sure I’m missing many more holes). Unless you’re missing the entire septum.

I’m sure most people have more (topological) holes than one

Both nostrils, for example

I’ve played several dozen hours in Skyrim VR. Only time I’ve gotten significant motion sickness was the cart ride, that thing is hell

I’ve had to put down the headset until I got to see the character creator

This one’s actually funny though, Bieber is beaver in German
