Baddogma's Other Meta Cafe- Polite Discussions About Scientific Mysticism and General Weirdness

a reply to: Reverbs

que?
what`s jodido?

a reply to: Peeple

I said basically we drink coffee or tequila? Or both?
The world is #ed no?

I just woke up. I also dont remember any other tenses in spanish.. Like present progressive would make me sound less like a spanish 3 year old hahaha.

Jodido is fvcked.
Or something close to that.
Screwed, messed up..

You know obviously how languages dont exactly translate to each other as the concept maps dont overlay.. no matter what language it is, it does NOT translate well enough with reality. This is why I play on words to stretch or twist the meaning into something real.


Language culture.. we are on different operating systems. Of course english and the internet are the new tower of babel. If I had my way I'd unite humanity against the hidden ones.


Este dia? Este dia solimente dia no trabajo.
Pero.. pedo comida por restaraunte.

Como se dice...
How do you say...

Its a very useful phrase if you do get stuck in some beautiful part of the spanish coast.









Morning ATS

Good Lawrrrd!!

If my week was anything as crappy as my co-workers then I don’t blame them for calling in sick today!

We are all training the people we work with how to their jobs. Some can read and follow instructions but like getting into email wars about irrelevant sh#. Keeps them from looking Stoopid I guess. But that makes my job feel even more worthless than it is treated by everyone I work with.

So today, 3 people in the office, I just read online crap I missed all week! Oh, those poor bastids on the arXiv are going to feel sooooooo dumb about how easy it is!! There are 4 or 5 papers that are close but go off on to super complicated math... makes me smile as I have been a lazy bastid meself and have not published my findings. But it nice to see thoughts written down instead of deflection emails hiding ignorance.

Beer after work is not working! And I am too old for harder drugs! (See Luke Perry for what happens).

I guess publishing is my golden ticket out of the rat race (hey, noticed Reverbs talking about language, me talking about rodent’s lives... all we need is some birds and woo, then we’d come full circle to the mosh pit of this conversation we’ve been having... at least when I decide to add some non-sequitor).

Anyhoo, work sucks when I have to do it! Miss ya’ll!! And hope all is well... or at least someone is doing well!!

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

Teot you are such a tease.

My work sucks too. Dude fired himself didnt have the balls to face me. Maybe someone cursed me with never having a day off? Ehh?

It just never ends..

The biggest college basketball game for regular season in the country is in my town on saturday.. i have 7 days to find and train a goddamn baddass... if Im unsuccesful, just somebody shoot me before that day.

Reverbs is tired yall.

Me too.



There's not nearly enough hours in the day at the moment.

phys.org - The force is with us, always? Tuning quantum vacuum forces from attractive to repulsive.

I've been busy and have little time to play. Today is no exception. But now it should cool down to half day being busy and the other just doing things like reading stuff like the above!

This is Casimir Effect which is quantum fluctuations in "empty space". The effect draws two plates of similar material together from unseen QM effects. The news is that they have been able to tune it so it is a repulsive force! They can use a magnet and tune it; then can generate specific handed photons.

I am too tired to make a thread so a sneaky post amongst the cool kids!

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

During the Casimir effect, as the plates are moved together, some of the waves in the vacuum are gradually squeezed out, giving more energy to their surroundings, and causing the attractive force.

phys.org...

Nice!



I was only trying to think of something like this happening - not exactly like this, but how two objects would be able, at times, to come into contact, but then at others, or as a consequence of prolonged contact, become repulsed. And here you are, solving my quandary...kind of, I will still have to apply much in the way of poetic licence (I don't think I understand it yet, so need to do some reading around the terminology).

Oh...and a little weirdness too, my current picture that I am working on has a bell jar in the centre (its not a very good bell jar but meant as a bell jar nonetheless). It is cracked, so the vacuum is no more but I think we still have a tinsy-little theme going.

Ta Teots.

a reply to: KilgoreTrout

Awesome!

A little QM means poetic license! And the Bell Jar... and the turtles all the way down. And our little tribe... all doing it’s own thing but still the Cafe provides!!

I have been isolated to some extent and have a truck load that I would normally share but the training up at work has zapped my enthusiasm for being online anymore than I have to.

Like I watched the making of Darkside Of The Moon and am dreaming music now! That has been years since I have dreamt songs. Whole songs, that I dug. Funny, kind of serious, and wouldn’t mind hearing again!

Good luck! And glad the MetaCafe could assist!!

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

I had one of my most epic trippy dreams ever.
Its a few days old now..

Normal flying over castles and cops and ghosts..
Oh my..

But then im having a conversation with some girl..
My dream went into normal mode. At least thats what I thought. The next part is hard to explain.

I can only compare it to someone secretly dosing me straight to the head mixed with the apocalypse.
Hell was interdimensionally in the same space.. but it still was like the bottom dropped out as reality disentigrated in less than a fraction of a second.. looked kinda like falling through a volcanic eruption.

I said "oh damn im in hell!"

Hell was like normal reality.. nothing seemed off..
That made it all the more odd..

Wish I could explain better. It was soooo intense.. the falling without falling..



Not 5 minutes later the front end manager saw me stop and stare at the wall. Shes laughing at me until i remember what i was doing. Shes like "its a teserect" some kind of portal.. "one of these days im going to walk through it and reappear in another reality."

Goes with my thinking about the dream.
Yesterday I was thinking of magic girl and that weird stuff that would happen like my phone acting possessed and pots sitting still for hours jumping off the hooks.

Now the cook is playing the same music i did last night like cat stevens, neil young..

Woo seems strengthening.

a reply to: Reverbs

What in the world is dark matter?

That's not what dark matter is, but I think it helps to think about other ways missing "forces" could be generated or applied..

I don't get the question of whether light has mass or not. Seems like we could figure that out no?
If it had mass wouldnt it get infinitely massive at the speed of light? Haha Im probably just being silly.

a reply to: Reverbs


I think that is correct (light having mass would become heavier at the speed of light).

BUT...

That is only if it had to accelerate to the speed of light from being motionless (huh??!). Since it already is it don't have to so it ain't! If you get my drift!

Ooohhh. Weird thought. If light has mass, it is travelling at the speed of light, and that mass was reduced... would it go faster than it already was? Kind of like a nitro button on an engine.

Even weirder thought... if light has a small mass, is that where the "missing mass of the universe" resides? And even if it was very tiny, would all that light (cosmic microwave background radiation) be where gravity lives?

See, if we are truly "being of light" like little Yoda says, we have a "soul" which is defined by our "gravity" or how much light we contain. We do things like the gurus of old and transport ourselves across the river or walk on water!! Turn water into wine and vitamins into coc aine! How many people are into coc aine here??

Jesus was way cool!

Gives new meaning to "Walk in the light"!

a reply to: TEOT

Even weirder thought...

So if light had mass, then over time, to keep the shake your booty energy equal while keeping velocity equal, mass would have to decrease over time!

I keep on saying light is weirder than we know!

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

I brought it up because light is soo weird.

I cant comprehend it in 4d, so like peeple thinks it has some more innate connection.. or not even a connection, but some base part of it all..

I liked your light guru talk. Secretly thats what I was thinking about when I posted.

a reply to: Reverbs

I was not being facetious when I said that!!

I really think that light is not what we think it is.

And that leaves us with the question, what the hell is light??

The Only (weird! I dropped my phone before I started the sentence that is not what I was going to say)!

Sh1t gotta run home!... Laterz!

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

Forgot what I was going to say but it wasn’t important.

Light has a right hand twist and a left hand twist. Light vibrates at rates we cannot see. Light and matter can interact (like BD’s bacteria/light thread). And I told BASS a while ago, I suspect that there is something orthogonal to it we have yet to describe.

When we figure that out then we will see how weird light is!

Hope all is well with you! *kisses* (non-tongue! lol)

Where is Peeps??!

I know I have have not been a good thread tender lately... and I worry about her...

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

Oh no....

Home team won.. ive already suffered through a 7000$ day... looking out the front of the restaurant, it looks like the end of the world. Choppas are hoverin.

I did in fact get a baddass in the kitchen, cause im awesome, but damn.. we are out of food! Go away..

Haha.

a reply to: Reverbs

10,000$

I cant do this #..

I sent the whole kitchen home to rest so I dont lose anybody. Now I have to close.. haha.

Crazy crazy.

Tomorrow of course is some drinking going away party so im about to lose it.

Gawd 10,000$ during spring break.

And tomorrow is our busiest day.

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

No worries, I'm here, just without much to say at the moment.
I had a Mandela moment, because I learned how to calculate the mass of a photon. But I'm already weirded out by electricity so wtf do I know.

Hope you guys are having a good time.

a reply to: Peeple

This is kind of to your point.
Its a short read.

mass of a photon

a reply to: Peeple

There she is!!

Happy spring and what not!!

I know that “not much to say” feeling but please let me know that you are still here! I’ve missed so much of this conversation that I feel like a fraud at times.

I also know you forgive me for those transgressions... as we forgive those who transgress against us!! LOL!!

The days are flying by. And I need to cash in on my brain so I can end having to go to work. Which is also not that much fun because we are re-training our compatriots on the other side (some are starting to get it). I have started strumming the guitar again and dreaming new songs... and remember, you asked for it!!

Enjoy the spring in your part of the world for me!!
