You are applying too much classical thinking.

Something in superposition isn’t in some unknowable but definite position before measurement.

It is all possible states, at the same time.

Einstein famously did not like the implications of QM, saying “god does not play dice with the universe”, though his work on the photo electric effect helped pave the way for QM.

No worries, I don’t expect many people have an understanding of what superposition actually means.

The Lemmy crowd probably skews towards those that are likely to understand it, but you never know.

This is just a misunderstanding of superposition.

A superposition is being in all possible states before “collapsing” into a defined state, after interacting with something (a measuring device).

So Schrodinger’s immigrant will be in all possible states; they are obviously lazy welfare bums; whilst simultaneously taking all the jobs; and being so poor that they eat your pets; and having the time to organize groups to go raping; whilst also being trustworthy enough to be a housekeeper or nanny

Look at this guy, blithely inviting a holy war to his doorstep.

Looks like a kiwi

It is getting a little obnoxious. But still mostly on the good side.

To be fair, Diogenes was a cunt of the highest order. Love his work; but not a good role model.

You don’t only have to look to living people:

• Socrates
• Marcus Aurelius
• Zeno
• Albert Einstein

Living People:

• Mark Rober
• Terry Crews
• Niall Breslin
• You and me, be the good role model you want to see.

We know something is out there; galaxies are rotating far too quickly for our understanding of gravity to be correct. This is based on the observable matter.

For the galaxies to be rotating at the speeds we observe, we need approx 5 times the matter we see. So it is not like we have missed 10 - 20% of the matter that interacts with electromagnetic radiation, we would have had to have missed an extra 500%

As someone else pointed out, MOND is the next most promising candidate, but it has major issues even explaining what we see. Which is why it hasn’t received widespread acceptance.

I don’t have an answer; I have a few ideas. It maybe that something MOND adjacent is the answer; i.e. on the largest scales spacetime “relaxes” more when there is nothing pulling on it. So near galaxies and clusters spacetime is under more stress, this stress could equate to spacetime curving more on galaxy sized scales. But on the small scales we work on the extra stress will be almost invisible.

But as for us figuring out what “dark” matter is in your lifetime, unless you are already in your 80’s; I think there is a very good chance. The only thing we know for sure about dark matter, is that it interacts with gravity (spacetime). We are building some pretty epic gravitational wave detectors, bringing the detection threshold lower.

So a while ago, and Palmy has always had a significant student population, ideas like; you can get a free feed at maccas by going through the drive through and walking / biking off; tend to spread quickly.

When I was at university, I used to ride my bicycle to the local 24hr Macdonalds after I finished work; around 12:30am, I’d arrive just before 1am.

After doing this for ~8 months, they must have changed the policy, I was no longer able to use the drive through. But the door was locked after 10pm, so no more late night snacks for me!

Not sure if motorbikes were allowed or not.

Long past, but for old files especially, old .doc files it is great as a backup.

It lives in a VM that never has access to the internet, it almost never gets started up.

I have office 2007 on a winxp VM, I haven’t had to use it in a few years, but it is there as a back up

Yessss!!!

This but realistic.

Swap the order of the cutlery draw, put the spoons where the knives are supposed to be. Be the chaos in the world that you want to see.

Cactus Outdoor.

I had the original pack now called Vacuole, used it for a long time 10 or so years, lost it one time when moving houses. My boys have one each for school now, I expect them to last for the duration.

I have two pairs of supertrousers and two pairs of hangdog shorts, all have lasted 6 years so far, daily use in summer / winter for the shorts / trousers.

The stuff made in the Christchurch factory is epic.
