Well, data just doesn’t really flow at the speed of light. It’s a really really complicated thing to discuss in terms of physical circuits because the true picture involves considering how the EM field evolves. Electrons in a circuit move at extremely slow speeds, ~millimeters per second.

The good news is you don’t need to send information particularly fast to send it through time. Generally in physics, we build time travel systems by creating extremely curved spacetime that contains paths to the past, theoretically you could send light through such a path to transmit information back in time. As someone already mentioned, you generally need negative mass to construct these.

If you have negative mass there are three options I’m aware of:

1. Wormholes, stabilised and moved in the right way can form a link to the past (but only as far back as the moment they were created, this is true of all time machines as far as I know)
2. Rotating torii of spacetime. Spinning spacetime is well known for creating weird time travel effects, a related option is an infinitely long rotating cylinder.
3. A rotating warp drive. This thing will explode in a high energy shower of particles and thus it’ll be nearly impossible to use, but a friend of mine recently found a way to get particles to travel back in time through it.

If you want to send information into the distant future, you could get really fancy and scatter some light off of a black hole or something.

If you’re in a currently cold place, then it’s a reasonably good way to heat a room and make the energy do something useful along the way, instead of just running a space heater.

Again, it’s not dividing race at all.

There are two good reasons for putting it in the constitution. One, it stops it being repealed by the opposition who have a history of that sort of thing, thus it won’t be limited to the term of a specific government.

Secondly, Australia’s history is 100% built on disenfranchisement of our first people. Slavery, being defined as fauna, voting rights younger than a lifetime etc. Our national identity built this problem, our constitution should recognise who this country belongs to, it should recognise who this country has murdered, abducted and generally hated for it’s entire history. This definitely belongs in our constitution, colonialism stole Australia and it’s only fair to recognise that.

Solving systemic racial injustice is an inherently one sided thing, and that isn’t racist or divisive.

What is racist and divisive is allowing the traditional owners of the land to be trapped in perpetual poverty, with significantly shorter lives and with next to no hope of help. Setting up something to address an imbalance like this, to bring actual equality, is not racist.

There’s a fairly well known saying “when you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” Things aren’t getting worse for you, we’re just trying to pull other people out of a hole so they can stand beside you.

Nothing.

The no and yes sides to a referendum prepare an informational pamphlet that everyone receives but there’s absolutely no requirement that any of it be truthful, so the opposition just openly lied until the whole thing died.

Actual information was obscured, fear mongering was rampant, the voice was harmless at worst, but could have been the spark that changed Australia for the better.

The point is that this would have given them a path toward voicing those sorts of things, directly to the people who can actually do something about it.

It could have been the start to a lot of great change, it was a simple easy thing to do

Generic “USB media players” used to be a big thing back before they were integrated into every TV, I’m fairly sure you can easily find one with a remote still.

It seems like a lot of DVD/bluray players still take USB too, we used to play off of an external HDD and USB thumb drives using our Blu-ray player when I was a kid. You can probably get something really good second hand too.

When I was 21, and I got the first of my “arthritis.”

It’s in quotes because years later it was diagnosed as an entirely different (and even more debilitating) disease, but I still effectively have arthritis a lot of the time, I just now also have constant insomnia and fatigue.

To oppress the some of the most vulnerable people in the world who desperately need help, of course.

I don’t suppose you know the exact application in QFT? I assume it’s used for some renormalization scheme?

I’m so damn happy to hear it worked out for you, that really gives me hope

It’s honestly one of those things I’ll never stop doubting, there’s a strong voice somewhere in my head telling me I’m wrong and being selfish.

Thankfully I’ve had enough therapy to know better, but that kind of manipulation really does have a good way of convincing you it’s not there.

A girl I had been seeing for years, and thought I loved more than anything. After a lot of really intense drama that I honestly didn’t think I’d survive, and the following analysis with a psychologist, I realised she’d been emotional manipulating me for a very long time.

When I finally cut her out, things just became so much better. I’ve learnt what a truely kind and loving person can be like, and what it’s like to not walk on eggshells or have constant anxiety. So many seemingly innocent comments that in hindsight were insanely toxic controlling statements. It’s been incredible to feel free.

It ultimately depends on what particle the dark matter is made of. It’s been a long time since I did any dark matter work, but from memory heavier candidate particles are more capable of forming structure because they move more slowly.

I never ended up pursuing that as a research area, so I’d take what I’m saying with a grain of salt, I just did a small project for a professor once.

Data centres are wild

10TB of RAM? Surely that’s a typo?

I don’t have tinnitus, but I do this exact thing using the Sennheiser true wireless 3. You just have to set them to not pause music when the pass through is on, it works really well.

Different arrangements would do it, or you could think of it very loosely as the “if you made different decisions in each” kind of thing. Events/history is different, essentially.

On your idea of a “random function” yes, pretty much everything at a fundamental level appears to be probabilistic to some level. Quantum theory cannot in most cases predict the exact outcome of an experiment, just the probability of different outcomes.

I don’t really understand why, but this seems to be a common misunderstanding of the multiverse theory.

All it says is that every possible universe exists, so it’s not at all required that everything you can think of exists, just everything permitted by physics. Possible is the keyword here, and you can still have an infinity of universes even if you restrict what is possible.

I’m no expert on the subject, but as I understand it there are generally two types of multiverse theory. The one where you have infinite universes all with the same physical laws, but every unique possibility under those laws exists in the multiverse. And the one where every possible variation on the laws of physics exist (generally talking about different coupling constants rather than entirely different laws). It’s entirely reasonable that both types are one in the same.

In either case, it wouldn’t really be consistent for there to be a universe where the multiverse doesn’t exist, unless it is the only universe and there is no multiverse at all.

Currently I have N1 as my home server and my desktop is Energia. I’ve previously had Proton and Soyuz etc.
