"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!
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.
Phone stuff. Sorry about that
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
Totally fine by me. I was just making a bad pun. (I'm not the one who corrected you.)
rude bot
Tits
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...
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?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-electron_universe
Thank you for the link. It makes sense I haven't heard too much on it. More a postulation than a theory. And kind of untestable/ philosophical too.
well fak. came here for a good time,
now here for a long time.
reading about positrons and shit.
thx though
You wrote a comment so good that I screenshotted it.
Awww thanks
Of course waves can spin, it just does so in some conceptual "dimension".
