    1- Yes, but the more it unfolds, the thinner and weaker the part of it that reaches the object will be. At one point it may be thinner than an atom, at which points further questions become too complicated for me to bother trying to answer. If Plank’s distance is mentioned I will run away.

    2- If it goes into the bath water and you consider the water to be a continuous medium, then the surface of water touching it will also be infinite. If you consider a scale too small for the water to be considered a continuous medium, however, I will leap out the window.

    Well, you might’ve heard foods with carbohydrates are sometimes referred to by the abbreviation “carbs". If you know carbs are food, it’s obvious the word starting in “carb-” is the edible one.

    If you weren’t familiar with that abbreviation, here’s another memory helper: Spaghetti carbonara contains carbs.

    If you’re also not familiar with spaghetti carbonara, I’m very sorry for you.







  • Last year I re-played a few Flash gamed I’d played as a child, and one of them was Armadillo Knight, one of my favorites, which had three games hinting at a lore and ending of a cliffhanger. I wanted to find any information on the “Armadillo Knight” universe as I could, and I found the name of it’s creator (tho I’ve since forgotten it). He actually had had a furafinity account, so I went to that site for the first time, to see if there was some Armadillo Knight lore over there. Yeah.

    If her research had applications, it would’ve turned her pure math into applied math, which sounds less cool. But an application in string theory isn’t always considered a “serious” application. String theory was popular in the 80s, as a model to unify quantum physics and relativity, but experiments since then haven’t really confirmed supersymmetry, which is one of it’s key hypothesis. Some still think string theory can be saved and make new versions of it to account for modern discoveries, but they’re very marginal.



  • When I first started using Facebook, a relative shared something from a conspiracy theory page, and I started reading all of the stuff from the page and it blew my mind (I was around 11 or 12 I think). But then a few conspiracy theories were too obviously wrong even for the child I was. One was a video of the moon being passed over by a cloud. Because the cloud was very thin and the moon was bright, the light shone through nearly unaltered. And the text was claiming that the cloud was passing behind the moon and that this was the evidence that the real moon had been destroyed and a fake one had been built which was much closer to earth (beneath the clouds).
