Comment on New PieFed instance: MULTIVERSE
Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 2 days agoWell, Donald Hoffman, the cognitive psychologist investigating perception of reality, has asserted that spacetime is a mental construct that simplifies our perception of the world around us so that it requires fewer resources to sustain. Since under Einstein gravity is curvature of spacetime, if true this means gravity is part of our interface too. There is something making people fall down ladders, but it’s not as simple as our mind perceives it to be, even for Einstein. Newtonian gravity and Aristotlean gravity have of course been entirely debunked and were thus “escaped”.
So yeah, gravity is fake. But gravity’s fakeness isn’t that important.

Can’t speak for the Aristotle part, but yup… that sentence is just bullshit. Don’t say stuff like this in public, man. It’s embarrassing.
Ok, I’m done with this topic.
Have a good weekend.

Lol!
For other readers: Einstein expanded Newton’s findings. Classical vs quantum physics.
