"Well... You see... When its a particle it spins. When its a wave its still doing that. How does a waveform spin you ask? Listen. Shut the fuck up. The math is really weird and some of this stuff just happens and you can't visualize it in your head. We didn't believe it at first either but after 50 years of experiments we have to just accept that reality is consistent with the math even if we don't fully conceptualize what that means even"

We are all just folds in this wonderfully weird thing we call spacetime!

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago

The prions of spacetime.

Out here folding along.

Nice reference to PBS Space Time. The YouTube channel where I just get bullied with science, and for some weird twisted reason I like it.

pbs space time is awesome, and this description is even more so.

Bullied with science sounds like a fun band name

Hah! Time. Like that's a real thing.

When it's* a particle
When it's* a wave
it's* still doing that

Phone stuff. Sorry about that

[-] Zacryon@feddit.org 4 points 4 months ago

That sounds nasty.

shrug I mostly browse Lemmy on my phone. I don't give a shit enough to correct autocorrect mistakes. My message was clear even with piddly little autocorrect mistakes

[-] Zacryon@feddit.org 1 points 4 months ago

Totally fine by me. I was just making a bad pun. (I'm not the one who corrected you.)

You seem to be up to date with this stuff; did we find out whether there's more than one yet..?

Personally don't like the idea of everyone reusing the same electon for everything... seems quite unhygienic. I'd rather we had at least one per person, maybe share it with people we trust, if we must...

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

We have to recycle nowadays. Besides we can't have people throwing away perfectly good electrons. They could end up anywhere.

I've heard this weird concept repeated over and over but I've never once run across it in literature or in speaking to my particle physicist friend. Can you provide a source?
