  But then there’s the guy who added all the mass and energy of the observable universe, calculated its’ Schwarzschild Radius, and came up with 13.8 billion light years.

  There’s also how our observable universe’s Hubble Horizon acts like a black hole event horizon, the way in which even the speed of light is insufficient to escape beyond.

  A lot of the math inside a black hole is eerily similar to the math of our own horizon, as traced by the age of the universe plus the speed of light.

  Coldplay is for people who think they enjoy high art because they watch period costume dramas about the Victorian Age. Because that’s what high art is, isn’t it? Stuffy settings and dialogue, delivered in a bygone accent.

  Take it one level lower on down, when you’re the size of an electron, orbitals are wild, turbulent places, sometimes sharing electrons which also often get zapped by light, so they jump to a higher orbital, then they randomly spit out that photon and reappear back down… all the orbitals of a molecule violently jiggling all the time.

  Take photosynthesis. Simply put and to oversimplify but it’s essentially accurate, a photon hits an electron bullseye in a leaf molecule, which sets off a wave of energy in motion, breaking up molecules, reassembling them into sugars and waste product (oxygen).
  A red photon raises an electron one orbital up, that sets off one process at a certain level of energy. A blue photon raises an electron two orbitals up, that sets off another process at twice the energy level.

  This was originally a Warhol idea, wasn’t it?
  A six hour film of the Empire State building, as the day goes and the lighting changes, I think it was meant as like a window from an apartment or office right in the thick of Manhattan.

  Truth be told, I don’t hate the idea. Currently, it could be a framed digital screen on a loop, or showing a webcam feed. Why not a live view of Istanbul, or of the Moroccan desert?

  Don’t you wish there was a way to quit enabling these shit-kickin’ shitheads. To let them actually live what they preach, in isolation without their shitwater splashing and spilling around everywhere else.

  None of their politicians asking for handouts behind closed doors and under the table, too embarrassed to admit to the voters that yes, indeed, a collective government IS extremely useful AND convenient when you need it the most, and not only when YOU need it but also when OTHERS need it, too.

  But one might as well try and explain quantum mechanics to a goddamned brick wall.

  Yeah, it’s sooooo funny… it’s heeeeeeel-larious! I don’t know about you, but I for one can’t stop laughing!

  The way language is used or abused creates patterns in the mind.
  I strongly suspect that this way of using language is not healthy at all, for an individual nor for a community.

  The moral of the story is: no rusty banal or shitty memory is banal or shitty enough, for these postmodern kids nowadays to NOT commoditize it as “nostalgia”. EXACTLY like their boomer parents with their own rusty banal or shitty items in their memory bank.

  “I look around me, and the horizon seems to be at the same distance everywhere I look, therefore it must be obvious: I am at the center of the Universe.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He might have won the very first Nobel Prize, had he not passed away just a few years prior, and much too young, wasn’t he in his late-30s or early-40s?

  In fact, I believe that had Hertz remained alive and won his prize, the Nobel Committee would not have felt obliged to give it to Marconi a few years later.

  Marconi was a back-stabbing asshole who became one of the wealthiest men in the world by abusing the gentlemanly trust of others, and coasting on someone else’s technology - particularly the way crystals oscillate, and some of them serve nicely as a sort of “translation point” between electromagnetic waves and the physical apparatus that transmits and/or receives the signal.

  Imagine a sci-fi world, far in the future, where there are enough old unearthed pennies to be used as currency, but they are scarce enough to acquire great relative value.

  “Hey, that must have cost a small fortune!”
  “A hundred and twenty five pennies, to be exact.”
  “Damn!”

  Pico de gallo is also the name of a fruit cocktail in my town in Mexico.
  Chunks of jicama, orange and… there’s another one I’m forgetting.

  You sprinkle salt and powdered chili on top, then squeeze the juice of a large lime on top. It’s all eaten with a toothpick, you spear the chunks of jicama, orange and the other one.

  The blues singer character Mississippi Gary from The Kids In The Hall comes to mind:

  I got the blues so bad, I can’t even shut my eyes… I gotta call a friend on the phone and tell him - “Buddy, come over and shut my eyes for me, I got the blues”.
