Physicist, Holding General Relativity In The One, And Quantumphysics In The Other Hand:

my opinion on quantum physics is that we should stop looking into it. it's none of our business and frankly the particles seem to agree

concept: there are lots of different worlds and all of them have different levels of access to magic. Some are just all over the place and some have no magic at all.

You would think that we would be one of the strictly non-magical worlds, but actually, that’s not the case—we don’t have like, a huge excess of magic, but we have, like, dreams, and the placebo effect, which puts us pretty solidly in the “Numinous” world category.

Wouldn't mind having one.

Shoutout to the people getting excited looking at the sky and can't resist without taking its picture

I wish I could be like one of those Tumblr people who make well-written and informed analyses on their interests and hyperfixations but no I got stuck with the GGAGRRHHD AARRAARFGHFGG. HHGGGGRGGGGRGRRRGGHH MMBBRBBRBJGJGJ KKAAAAAAAAAAA HHHHH AAA !!?,,!??,!

My confusion with the flat earth perspective

07.10.2021/Thursday

Science has been a controversial discipline since time immemorial. Science and religion have always had head on collisions on important topics such as Astronomy, genesis and evolution, so it is expected that some people will side with science and some will side with religion, regardless of the year we live in. After all, one school of thought believes in drawing conclusions after rigorous testing and cross checking and the other school simply asks one to have faith and naturally, there are people who find one or the other more comforting or convincing.

The above are somewhat understandable differences. What truly leaves me dumbfounded is the kind of ideas that conspiracy theorists seem to hold these days about simple, provable universal truth. In particular, the flat earth idea simply leaves me speechless. Even when the shape of the earth can be inferred from numerous everyday observations (the presence of the horizon, the appearance of the top of a ship first, before its bottom etc.), it is absolutely astounding to think that there are those who do not believe that the earth is a sphere.

Perhaps the most  hilarious part (aside from internet trolls) of this whole ordeal is that most flat earthers use the internet on some sort of cellular device to declare their beliefs, a technology that is  possible simply because the earth is a sphere and because general relativity works.

I am truly, utterly clueless as to how you look at pictures of the earth taken from the ISS and proclaim “That is fake!”

These are the moments when I wish I could read minds so that I could understand the complexities of the minds that hold these beliefs better. Truly remarkable.

What it means to be a passerby in life.

I suppose, is a vague attempt at figuring out what I want to be in another person's life, I guess. The passerby here leaves an impression on the psyche of every person he interacts with, or at least he tries to in his own way. He doesn't want to be an integral part of a person's life but a vague, misty memory. Whenever the person thinks of the period of time when the passerby existed in the same light cone, he remembers the vague passerby and wonders how weird that particular passerby was with his weird principles and philosophies, the god complex, the quirks, the manipulations. I don't really know if that's what I actually want to be or if it is my own mind's creation to fill the void of not being around people among whom I would want to be the main character. Is it possible to find a main character like that, or am I exaggerating all of it? Either way, I find some kind of joy in being the passerby, maybe possibly more joy than being the main character.

If I had the slightest discipline in me I’d be unstoppable

Aren't the clouds beautiful? They change over time but their beauty never fades.
