Best I can do is, QFT…

…there was a reason they had us practicing Asteroids on the Atari!

I’d also add science - a subset of reading I suppose, but it can lead to experiments and theoretical models. I love it, costs me nothing (thanks Wiki supporters) and there’s still so much to learn and discover.

General relativity (GR), there’s also special theory of relativity (SR).

Here’s a simple video that helps one chance their frame of reference with GR.

Just about anything with “black,” or, “dark,” in its name, be very skeptical. 🧐 But quantum entanglement, that’s the good stuff. Only GR’s SpaceTime mechanics comes close to being as crazy.

0.Energy.

I’ve been studying the range of neutron stars for some time and I feel confident it won’t be too long until much of our evidence and observations will show that black holes, quasars, super massive black holes and the range of other black holes are very likely, more extreme neutron stars - if not quark-like stars or stellar quantum-like objects. For fun, I’ve been also been focusing on colloids, extreme condensates and their quantum/relativistic phases/states; very revealing interactions and emergent properties. Now if we could just better observe zero-point energy…

I imagine it’s correlated to consuming all kinds of matter into that massive black hole of a belly? 🧐

Baryon Acoustic Oscillations article I found that did a good job of helping to explain just how vast these cosmic structures may be.

Modern titles are often awful but this article was not only decent but important for casuals who found it while checking other news. Honestly, these structures and both amazing and challenging. It’s unfortunate that it’s going to take time for some cosmologists to take them seriously. Instead they have their horse blinders focused on “dark” this and “black” that. These are not only in need of more attention from the community but it’s not hiding in the “dark.” Hell, we just find some great solutions for others “mysteries” by studying them…

For those interested in MOND, Stacy McGaugh is a great proponent and researched Dark Matter extensively before switching his research into MOND. Most who are interested in MOND are fine with research into both MOND and dark matter - if there is dark matter, it will likely explain what MOND currently calculates. I’d also like to share Pavel Kroupa’s blog. Be warned: he is an unapologetic and a staunch opponent to Dark Matter, but I enjoy his energy and he’s a very good public speaker for cosmology and MOND.

I dislike most titles on YouTube - they’re trash. But his videos in general are good and I read the paper because of it - and happy I did. Even near 90yo Kerr is sharp but intuitive, attempting to tightly marry his math to observations; as it should be.

For manga/fungi lovers - feels appropriate given the meme.

My understanding was that Egypt was also extremely green for a long time. As generations passed and the population grew, over farming the land allowed the dust-bowl creep across the land. Haven’t checked recently but the same thing is happening across parts of China and the dust can blow nearly halfway around the world. Humans have been good at exploiting land for a very long time.
