Just your average urban druid interested in technology and quantum field theory.
Gods damn I loved Legion!
The “force” keeping particles together are other particles! With their own quantum fields even.
Here’s an 8 minute primer on the Standard Model: https://youtu.be/XYcw8nV_GTs
Black Holes are infinitely fascinating!
They’re ’a thing’ we knew nothing about until Einstein wrote a paper, and even though his own math showed their existence, he doubted that they could be real.
Turns out that they are, and that they form the structure of the entire universe.
That’s my object.
My favorite thing is Quantum Field Theory! You know the field of magnetism, you played with it as a kid when you got your hands on two magnets the first time.
Turns out every particle in the standard model has its own field, and an excitation of that field manifests as that type of particle.

EDIT: Both links above are 1+ hours each, and done in layperson terms. No degree needed, just a desire to learn something fascinating.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Przybylski%27s_Star
“Przybylski’s observations indicated unusually low amounts of iron and nickel in the star’s spectrum, but higher amounts of unusual elements such as strontium, holmium, niobium, scandium, yttrium, caesium, neodymium, praseodymium, thorium, ytterbium, and uranium. In fact, at first Przybylski doubted that iron was present in the spectrum at all. Modern work shows that the iron group elements are somewhat below normal in abundance, but it is clear that the lanthanides and other exotic elements are highly over-abundant.”
The reminds me of the line on, “In Living Color” that got the show banned from our house:
I like my friends like I like my coffee: Black & Bitter!”
Living the best life!
Make every 10th page out of flash paper!
You did say, “very”, yeah?
Does that exactly the same sentence in the first two paragraphs indicate an AI writer?
I stopped reading at that point.
Dad!
you promised…
Yay!
Now do sleep so I can turn off my !%*# alarm to wake up and sleep when I want too.
There’s a place in town that has Belgian Bacon Waffles, and you’re correct they’re divine!
I love getting an order, plain, and a side of warmed maple syrup, then ripping them into dunk-able pieces. I make a mess, but they’re so good that way. Hot, crispy, crunchy, bacon-y, sweet, salty, smoky, delicious.
“…suddenly come alive…” is a poor choice of words for an event that will most likely sterilize all life from that galaxy.
Oh you sweet, dear, child…

You can never unsee some of these, so proceed with caution, and only after waiting a full hour after your last meal.
In other news: The Gotham Bank was robbed today, in broad daylight, by a Tarot card reader who usually practices her art in front of that same bank! She’s notable for having dwarfism and this probably helped her make good on her getaway. Stay tuned for updates on the Small Medium at Large!
I live in CA. Most foodservice places are hiring! In-N-Out is offering $23/hr and still can’t find enough staff.

That’s beautiful!
Sadly, no. I’d have been a young adult when Star Wars came out so that would have been very cool!
Do it you man baby!
