Garfield, did you move a small region of the universe to a true vacuum state?
What if the true vacuum state is just different enough for new physics, such that everyone gets psychic powers and nothing else changes.
Haters would say the real true vacuum state will take away my powers and I would psychically attack them for that view
Since the collapse would happen only at the speed of light, and the universe is so vast, it could have been happening for millions of years by now and the human race could still die by natural extinction before it gets anywhere near us. If the collapse originates from beyond the observable universe, it’d never reach us.
I think time is a dimension this shit is not restrained upon movement through the way we are. Mostly because it destroys the structure itself.
Space is emerging faster than it can transmit changes. This is why no light can reach us beyond the observable universe.
Assuming that's actually how it really works and doesn't snap changes...
As stupid as that sounds, you are not totally wrong.
@don@lemm.ee and @kopasz7@sh.itjust.works you are misunderstanding what "observable universe" means. The observable universe is defined by the particle horizon, but the universe that can affect us in the future is defined by the event horizon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_horizon says
The particle horizon differs from the cosmic event horizon, in that the particle horizon represents the largest comoving distance from which light could have reached the observer by a specific time, while the cosmic event horizon is the largest comoving distance from which light emitted now can ever reach the observer in the future.
But even the cosmological event horizon distance is dependent on our model of the universe's expansion, which in turn depends on the content of the universe. An event such as a vacuum collapse will drastically alter the content and the expansion rate, rendering our calculation of the event horizon invalid. So "snap changes..." may in fact be the case.
The neat thing is the collapse travels at the speed of light, so nobody will ever know what hit them.
Maybe it's already on the way
We can only hope
It definitely is if anyone placed it on a high surface near a cat.
Maybe it's arriving all the time but we don't notice because of quantum immortality.
This is from Waterworld, right? Troublingly relatable.
Yes, it’s from Waterworld.
Oh I should rewatch. Last time I saw in the drive in.
Favorite moment in the film.
They put so much heart into a character with barely any screen time.
There is an entire sub-genre in Comics of cartoons riffing on Garfield like this one. Nearly every cartoonist has done it and, oh my lord, it fills me with joy & reminds me why I actually love people.
If I remember correctly Jim Davis has even said he likes and approves of such things. Wasn't there a Garfield minus Garfield book published at some point with his blessing?
ImSorryJon was popular too
I'm sorry but I insist you call it by its full Christian name Englert–Brout–Higgs–Guralnik–Hagen–Kibble field
Ah, yes, the Engelbert Humperdinck field
Instructions unclear. Fed kibble to dog and now dog in multiple planes of existence.
That's how it works in the Planescape universe. Lol
Akira kinda moment
That big goopy mess at the end was mostly just lasagna
You just made me snort diet Sprite.
whotookkarl: joke
lambalicious: rips a line of diet Sprite fuck yeah
Scranton reality anchors be like
Garfield don't disrupt the Gellar Field!

Garfield would be Slaaneshi - excessive amounts of lasagna
Obligatory "I'm sorry Jon"
Philosophy of the Street-poop lifestyle
Isn't this what Schid's ladder is about? Great book btw
adds it to the pile
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
