Time is as imaginary as up/down, left/right, forward/backward.

That is to say that the concept and it’s consequences exist no matter what we call it. Time is not a human thing, it’s one of the dimensions of the space in which we exist. Calling it “time” and a “second” being as many vibrations of a caesium as it is, that’s the human bit.

It’s my understanding that whenever infinity is encountered, it means that our model doesn’t quite work.

It may be the way it is with this particular model/equations/bit of physics, and it may simply indicate “Nope”. I suspect not though.

Doesn’t it also require infinite energy to do so if “the thing” has mass at all?

ie. Our description of physics breaks down at such extremes, so in truth, we have no fuckin’ idea, just a best guess? (Thus far)

Maybe.

Never had that reflex triggered in me when presented with renders of what we think neanderthal looked like though.

Sample size of one means nothing though, so, yeah, maybe.

Here’s one for you;

“Uncanny Valley.” Why do we have a lizard brain level instinct to be wary of/uncomfortable around things that look almost human?

At what point in our evolutionary history was being afraid of something that looks nearly human, but not quite, a useful survival trait?

Were we preyed upon by something that looks almost human for long enough to evolve an instinctive warning?

Artificial scarcity in it’s barest form.

The fact that even some people think this shit is acceptable is very telling of how far we have yet to go, psychologically speaking, as a species.

Monkeys in fucking trousers.

Not in my experience.

“Weird Shit” is always a possibility when there’s any power at all in the system. The PSU will keep low level power supplied for a surprisingly long time after being unplugged from the mains. 💛

EHCI (system config) data was corrupt. Possibly from pulling the GPU while the motherboard board still had power (or residual power in caps).

CMOS wipe resets to blank and that data gets rewritten after BIOS runs the “wtf is plugged into me” routines triggered by blank data.

That’d be my guess.

Living in the twenties.

Orbiting is falling to earth, but going so fast sideways that you miss, forever.

I mean, you’re not wrong… XD

“With a big enough engine you can make a barn door fly.”

What do you think fusion research is?

The “reverse Midas touch”, everything he touches turned to putrid shit.

It decays, like the physical body. Entropy comes for everything in the end.

“Ignorance is bliss”

That would be the consciousness that lives in the meat puppet, the experiences of life shaping it the whole time.

Not a soul, per se, just an accident of physics. Something as yet unquantifiable, but definitely something. Quite possibly something involving quantum physics, which would explain the difficulty in determining what makes us, us.

We’ve discovered that a number of life forms appear to use quantum effects in some way, the ones I remember were navigation oriented (ba dum tish). Having existing examples of biology making use of the quantum world makes the idea much less of a stretch.

Food for thought. 💛

I had one of the 23 machines in the world that ran Windows ME flawlessly. :(

Graphics system usually. Back in the day I used to be able to tell where on the screen the cursor was from the pitch of the coil whine.

I buy better hardware nowadays 😂
