  For those wondering, this is from “Science: Abridged Beyond the Point of Usefulness”, by the inestimable Zach Weinersmith.

    I think you meant estimable (worthy of great respect), not inestimable (too great to calculate), although I guess they both work.

      Inestimable also means “of great value”

    Yeah, but he’s also not the xkcd guy.

  I think the physicists have been having doubts about slow stuff recently too.

    This is the truth. I am a few months away from getting my PhD in particle physics and the core questions being raised in all levels of the field at the edges of our decent big-picture understanding are so exciting.

      So, question. Does stuff?

      So what’s your view on MOND?

  I wish this kind of disclaimer would have been in my physics book in school. Big reason why I didn’t pursue an academic career in physics is because all the quantum stuff sounded like a religion, trying to convince itself that superpositions are real and you can’t measure things, because you just can’t.

  Many years later I know that there’s explanations for these things and that some of the illogical things I’ve been told were not nearly as certain or just flatout wrong. Because yeah, we’re still pushing the boundaries of our understanding outwards…

  Time go forward, no go back.

  What hard to understand? /s

    Right, but how quickly? And does that rate change in different places? If so, what causes it to change?

  So we got gravity linked to quantum mechanics, and all figured out, at least?

    It’s waves or something
