"Two circuits tuned alike will speak across the dark with no wire between them — not in words, but in agreement; and the agreement, once reached, takes a form of its own." - Unknown

Calculus explained in a single ride: the top graph tracks your position, while the bottom graph plots your slope; showing exactly when you’re coasting, diving, or climbing.

I refuse to believe anything is real

Shrooming and eating Mexican gummies until I enter some kind of alternate dimension

Cameo blush who are you

Apparently bee stingers are modified egg laying organs. I was stung by one earlier that day and it hurt. A lot.

Physics can help us understand how the ancient Egyptians built the great pyramids of Giza, as well as how they interact with electromagnetic waves. One of them is the wet sand technique. This technique involves wetting the sand to reduce the friction and the effort required to drag heavy blocks of stone on sleds. A team of physicists from the University of Amsterdam demonstrated this technique in 2014, using a simple experiment and numerical simulations. They showed that wetting the sand to just the right degree can reduce the required pulling force by up to 50%. This technique may have been used by the ancient Egyptians to transport the blocks from the Nile port to the pyramid site. Another aspect of physics that can reveal some mysteries of the pyramids is the electromagnetic response. This refers to how the pyramids interact with radio waves of different frequencies and wavelengths. An international research group applied methods of theoretical physics to investigate this phenomenon in 2018. They used numerical modeling and analytical methods to calculate the electromagnetic field distribution inside and around the Great Pyramid of Giza. They found that under resonance conditions, meaning when the wavelength of the radio waves matches the size of the pyramid, the pyramid can concentrate electromagnetic energy in its internal chambers and under its base. This effect may have some applications for designing nanoparticles that can manipulate light at the nanoscale.

John v. Neumann on 'the usefulness of Mathematics' A large part of mathematics which becomes useful developed with absolutely no desire to be useful, and in a situation where nobody could possibly know in what area it would become useful; and there were no general indications that it ever would be so. By and large it is uniformly true in mathematics that there is a time lapse between a mathematical discovery and the moment when it is useful; and that this lapse of time can be anything from 30 to 100 years, in some cases even more; and that the whole system seems to function without any direction, without any reference to usefulness, and without any desire to do things which are useful. -- as mentioned in "The Role of Mathematics in the Sciences and in Society" (1954)

Terence Tao doesn’t think AI will replace human mathematicians anytime soon, but he does consider it well suited to helping solve certain types of complex mathematical problems: ones that can be broken into thousands of small, manageable subproblems. quantamagazine.org/how-terry…

Semiotics of status are not equally distributed globally

Every generation’s tower of babble rhymes with the previous iteration. It starts with a bang, a deconstruction of the former into recombinant clusters of races, cultures, religions, and fundamental laws of existence and rules of thought that mix and match slowly to become another tower. Generational cycles are spiraling faster now due to technological progress. Are we wanting to spiral inward into a singular consciousness? Or do we want to orbit outwardly to maintain individuality?

I feel like vomiting
