Where’s my man Maxwell at?
Also - should he get his own, or be placed along with Faraday, like Crick & Watson.

QCP!

That’s in the US. Over at CERN they call 'em Truth and Beauty, and I really want that to stick.

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!”

Some sort of feline entanglement, hissy action at a distance.
With the added feature that each cat sees itself as “cat” and the other cat as “anti-cat”.

For a more accurate map, erase everything south of Rome, including Sicily, as well as Corsica and Sardinia. At the northern end of things, probably also Ireland and Scotland.
Then make four new tiny islands and name them Barcelona, Munich, Amsterdam and Prague.

Thing is, there is a lot of extraordinary educational content on YouTube, made by people who have a knack for it and do it as a labor or love.

Thanks to some YouTube channels like 3Blue1Brown, WelchLabs and Numberphile, I’m getting the hang of Riemann Surfaces, vector spaces and higher dimensions, the importance of prime numbers and Fourier Transforms… there is an embarrassment of riches bubbling behind so much bad faith A.I.-fabricated clickbait garbage that the algorithm pushes.

There are university professors uploading semester-long courses on cosmology or particle physics. Science channels like ParallaxNick, PBS Spacetime, The History Of The Universe, Terra Physics, The Science Asylum and Ask A Spaceman… many, many others.

But this YouTube treasure may not appear at first glance, and once you select a good path to follow, you have to cultivate that unavoidable algorithm: subscribing to the proper channels, blocking a seemingly endless barrage pseudo-science and conspiracy bullshit and blocking entire topics and keywords (like Roswell, Niburu, etc).

Sometimes the algorithm will suggest new things and it will deliver gold, you can feel the power of the tool and it is awesome, but unfortunately it will also often be clickbait crap, and now more and more often it’s with these god-awful A.I. images and pseudo-friendly emotionless generic narrations. Time to take out the digital machete again and hack away ruthlessly, blocking channels and erasing their videos from one’s watch history.

In fact, right now if anything has so much as a synthetic scent after a minute of watching, it will be purged and blocked.

But also often, I come across content creators excitedly and clearly explaining the quantum spin of electrons in a two hour video, and it is a glorious sight to behold. Case in point - look up Highly Entropic Mind and his two videos “Understanding QFT”. QFT being Quantum Field Theory.
In this case, I also check out the channels that they recommend on their account page. That’s a good way of pulling the thread.

Many of these well-meaning content creators are being drowned by those gaming the algorithm and flooding feeds with crap. So I created a Patreon account and chip in, trying to be a little bit of wind beneath their wings.

Here’s another hot take with the same data:
Pants may disintegrate, but flutes last forever!

Somehow, They Fly Now has returned.

A sign of decay in management. The Roman Empire suffered just such a phenomenon, only with other details.

If this was analogous to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, what would be the equivalent historical point?
Elagabalus? Maybe that time the title of emperor went to the biggest bidder and the guy lasted for a day? We need a Rough Roman Meme for this.

Oh no, no no no… it’s all part of God’s plan!

One step at a time there, cowboy!

At first a neutrino oven would be prohibitively expensive for a regular household, we’d be seeing the first commercial model installed by some restaurant in Las Vegas, that’s quite a gimmick: Neutrino-Zapped Food!

Then in the lounge by the casino, stand-up comics would be making jokes about steaks coming in three flavors: electron, muon and tau.

Then for some reason, I’m seeing all this in black-n-white.

This is countered by the fact that neutrinos almost never interact with normal matter.

Follow-up question, then:
When they do in this extreme supernova scenario, are they frying their meat via direct impact (whatever that means at those scales) with the nucleus, or via the Weak Force?

Because none of that energy is going to be transferred electromagnetically, a very strange thing to think about.
