Neat! I'd love to read more about it.

Where photons orbit a black hole is called a Photon Sphere. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_sphere It's at 1.5 times the radius of the event horizon for a non-charged, non-rotating black hole. But it's

Sorry, good catch! I really mean to say a prior that we wouldn't find a falsification of GR in this particular arena.

This is super exciting stuff! We know that the two most accurate models of the physical world, Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity, contradict each other so at least one, and probably both, are approximations to the real laws that gov

If you paid with a credit card, a lot of them will do a chargeback if you didn't get what you paid for. Worth asking about.

Not in my opinion. My time is limited. If any speaker, native or non, doesn't want helpful grammar feedback, I don't need to read their writing.

No it's not. It looks like constructive helpful feedback to me. I, for one, appreciate people's grammar being better on HN. Granted, a private message would have been better, but HN doesn't support that.

In the past three years, I haven't spent more than 60 cumulative days in a single country. Keeping a single phone number is a nonstarter for me. People contact me via email. Apple's iMessage is the only chat client I've bee

I don't have a default number. You can see why I might think that forcing phone number to equal identify might be a bad idea. I understand that I'm an unusual case, but I'm sure plenty of other people go through something sim

I change sim card (and hence phone number) frequently for international travel. WhatsApp is horrendous for this use case. It makes me re-authenticate (or something) each time, and people have a hard time finding me. Identity should not b

In my particular comment, I meant that THE Universe (proper noun) could have different physics. Max Tegmark uses the term a bit differently, but he's quite clear about what he means. As for your second paragraph, I really don't

Yea, mathematics is more fundamental than physics, in the sense that it would be possible for different universes to exist with different physics, but it's not clear at all that universes could exist with different mathematics. What w

Wow, that's a good essay. pg wanted to be a philosopher earlier in his life. He would have been good at it, but unfortunately I think the field is beneath him.

The Taliban threatens US security because after the next terrorist attack on US soil that kills a couple thousand Americans, our legislators will enact laws that will rip the limited constitutional protections we still have left to shreds.
