Trekkie, cat dad, gamer, musician... physicist? apparently?

I'd rather be playing D&D
I haven't seen many of her takes but they've all been very, very bad.

They're jealous. They know we have what it takes to make the trains run on time WITHOUT the fascism.

The guy actively contributed to the culture of gun violence in the US, and then died to it.

saying that the fear and trauma that they all experienced, all through school, was justified; and that the murder of their fellow students was necessary... This is, well, like a tourist on safari getting out of his jeep to take a closer look at the lions, and then a lion ate his face.

It shouldn't be a surprise that by the end of school many students are probably desensitised to gun violence and the fear associated with it. So when this twerp shows up at a place of learning, full of students who went through that,

Quantisation emerges from the combination of the non-local, instant propagation of the wave-function within that boundary, and other constraints imposed by space-time, such as conservation laws, with possibly additional constraints originating from the interacting system.

Since locality is a constraint of spacetime, quantum mechanics should be thought of as a point of interaction between two systems. The interacting system pushes spacetime to its limit of non-locality.

The most reasonable solution, IMHO, is that the Planck scale is the non-local tolerance of space-time, and relativistic effects are a mechanism that restrict non-local actions to that scale. When a particles time evolution develops at a lower rate, it's non-local action is contracted.

Locality is a constraint of causality, saying that nothing can break the speed of light is like saying that a triangle has 3 sides. Yet, we can't explain observations at the Planck scale while maintaining locality. So we don't just have conflicting theories, we have conflicting observations.

He was totally fine with violence, but was too much of a wimp to do it himself so he spent big parts of his career encouraging others to do it for him.
