I agree. I think our entire 3D universe is really more like a 'projection' (onto lower dimensions) of some vastly larger hyperspace in many more dimensions, so we're always seeing basically only a sliver of true reality, and

Well said. And furthermore: Any quantum mechanical system (i.e. all systems) is ultimately just a vibrational pattern, so trying to assign persistent identities to "things" is impossible because it's like trying to label the

well said. That neutrino W+ stuff went over my head, because I'm not actually doing Physics by profession. And unless you just now googled all that, it seems like you're my superior, and I bow down to your excellency. :)

I agree with pretty much all of what you said. It's an amazing brain teaser how the person falling across an event horizon would feel nothing (as far as science knows) and yet some observer far away watching it happen would see that it

Seems like you're mixing a lot of classical mechanics concepts into your 'understanding' of QM. Even in a single water molecule the electrons loose their "identities" and even if you could look close enough at infin

by WClayFerguson 6y ago
We may be getting into semantics but QFT doesn't say electrons are even moving. It says there are no particles at all anywhere period full stop UNTIL the precise moment of measurement. This is the "Measurement Problem". The m

I always refer to QFT + Standard Model as 'fact' even though myself and all other Physicists agree there may be deeper understandings than what is currently known by science. At some point is becomes philosophy when you call into

I can tell you're deep into Physics as I am. To be honest I was presenting the "Standard Model" the way a professor would explain it to a student, who is trying to explain QFT using the conventional beliefs held by most of th

I'm glad we agree that classical mechanics accurately predicts macro objects. However, atoms, molecules, and even molecular lattices containing a small number of atoms (or large number actually), behave as quantum wave systems. Even th

> Your explanation is one popular view of QM If you want to call the "Standard Model" merely one among many "popular views" then you can, but that's not what I'd call accurate. No one really disagrees with i

It's not that the individual atoms didn't exist before they joined, but it's that they start oscillating in unison with each other in a pattern that emerges purely from wave interactions. Nature settles into the most stable p

Not that I'm trying to blow anyone's mind but here's a couple of other 'emergent patterns' in reality which can also be called standing waves, which proves some very low level patterns like DNA can cause identical p

by WClayFerguson 6y ago
It's almost like a "standing wave" (of the square pattern) emerged spontaneously out of a chaotic stew of probability waves, and I guess that's a better way to describe quantum mechanics at this level than to say "T

Twitter has released a doc (part of their Bluesky project), analyzing the current state of the Fediverse, and claims to be creating new plans to disrupt it. Let's not let them do that. Twitter made the Fediverse really gain huge popula

Yep. "Java is the new COBOL" was simply irresistible. If you want to troll a Java developer, that was absolute perfection.

The best analogy I can think of to make the point of how important the 'single language syntax' goal should be is "mathematics". Imagine if everyone "doing" math did it their own way, using their own sets of sy

Excellent. Rock on man. I never thought I'd be a Microsoft fan again, but after they invented TypeScript/VSCode, I love them so much I might move to Redmond.

Everybody on this thread took literally my wish of "one language" but I never would've said C++ would be replaced by Java, for example. So I really meant "one language" in each category. Obviously there has to be a

You can go into my 250,000 loc project and randomly pick any variable name, method name, parameter name, etc., and put a typo in it or wrong type, and the compiler will catch it. I have 100% type safety, and it's all done by TypeScript

BTW we have spoken before. You are the developer of Smitherene, the only other ActivityPub implementation in Java other than my Quanta platform. Your code was very helpful to me getting my impl working!
