Sure, the biggest implication is now we can look for symmetries in the universe and deduce a conservation law (with much difficulty by people way better at maths than me). This conservation law is not going to be broken by further refinements of our models, as it is inherent to the system. For example, you probably learnt about conservation of energy when learning Newtonian mechanics, but since this is a product of symmetry (in time iirc), then future refinements such as special or general relativity won’t break conservation of energy. The only way it could is if the symmetry is not fully accurate, like in quantum, where fluctuations in energy are possible, but very minor (providing phenomena such as the Casimir effect).
Most of the details are beyond me, and the maths certainly is, so please don’t take my interpretation of the literature as gospel!

Don’t forget Noether! She discovered one of the most fundamental theorems of the universe: (paraphrasing) there is a 1:1 relationship between a conservation law (eg momentum) and symmetry (eg spacetime). This has shaped a lot of modern physics and helped explain otherwise unexplainable phenomena!

Yeah, works fine with wine or proton!

Ah yes, I liked ghost the best. Stalking a high value target waiting for them to jump and destroy them in a single combo while they are vulnerable and then hiding from the scout ships! You can still play the game BTW. Someone made a bootstrapper that uses steam multiplayer to allow you to play with other people. Most spots will be filled with bots though…

It is not on fdroid. Fdroid only allows foss apps and the futo keyboard is not Foss.

It’s actually 50% because it either kills you or is doesn’t. Those are the two options.

What is a factor of 1000 between friends anyway? (Especially cosmologist friends)
- Comment on Doppler 11 months ago:
I think you missed a factor of 1000 when comparing against the speed of sound in air. I think it should be almost 1000 times the speed of sound, so definitely sonic boom and definitely vaporised!

I just couldn’t get into Last Epoch. Can’t really put a finger on why, since other ARPGs grabbed me that are not that dissimilar…

Bold of you to assume that you wouldn’t be the one being beat up.

No idea. Maybe it isn’t even a letter?
- Comment on Other than Smite, what are some other games with a large amount of mythological pantheons as playable characters? 1 year ago:
That explains a lot. I played Grim Dawn and thought that it took a lot of inspiration from Titan Quest, especially the levelling system. Never put 2 and 2 together though.

To be fair, we currently have an overpopulation of jellyfish due to both the decline of turtles and raising sea temperatures, so if anything, this is helping.

Children of a Dead Earth is a tactical space game with n-body Newtonian physics. This means that on the surface it is very similar to something like KSP, you can do things like orbit a Lagrange point. In addition, you can design all the parts of you spacecraft and weaponry down to the materials they use. If you can make a fuel tank made out of aerogel work with the laws of physics, then you can use it. For example, I made a coilgun that fires nukes which was devastating at close range but the low velocity of the nukes made them easy to dodge at long range and without any thrusters, they cannot course correct.

TV series called Person of Interest. Very good series that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
