  Except of you are doing research you’d need to write hundreds of emails asking for a paper, just to then find out that it doesn’t contain the specific piece of information you are looking for.

  Neurotypical exists. Neurodivergent is the more “leftist” or scientific term for what they mean.

  But then there are the dicks that we don’t get to see because they would confuse and distract the audience (Willem Dafoe apparently)

  What a stupid piece. You don’t need anything quantum to recognize optical illusions. An optical illusion as they talk about it means that an image could be recognized as two things. This can be done by just adding some noise to the image. Sometimes it gets recognized as one thing and sometimes like another, just like humans would.

  Am physicist. Quantum particles are observable. Often things are observable because you can observe their effects. Can’t measure a top quark, but you can measure the electrons and photons when it decays. And their energy and how often it happens lines up with theories developed to describe some different thing.

  Theory of everything can’t exist, be abuse Gödels incompleteness theorem. But no physicist doubts that all the microscopic stuff gives rise to the macroscopic.

  The beginning of the universe you can see in the microwave background or something. So again that’s just experimentally motivated theory.

  Some of us come up with random theories because it’s fun. But most of the time the theory is aimed at explaining some thing that we observe and will coincidentally make predictions about other stuff which we can test.

  Finding out how dinosaurs sounded like is dope af from a physicists perspective.
