[The Curious Tales @thecurioustales]

Newton's theory of gravity was wrong.

We just kept teaching it anyway.

Almost everyone pictures gravity the way Newton described it 340 years ago. The Sun sits in the center. Invisible strings of force reach out across space and pull the planets inward, like a cosmic game of tetherball. The planets want to fly off in a straight line, but the Sun keeps yanking them back, and the balance between those two forces traces out an orbit.
That picture is beautiful, it's useful, and it's wrong.

Einstein demolished it in 1915 and replaced it with something far stranger. There are no strings. There is no pulling. The Sun is not reaching out and grabbing anything.

What the Sun actually does is bend the shape of space and time around it.

Think of spacetime as a fabric, and mass as a weight resting on that fabric. The Sun is so massive it creates an enormous dent, a deep curved valley in the geometry of reality itself. The planets aren't being pulled toward the Sun. They're rolling along the curves of that valley, following the natural contour of bent space.

A planet in orbit is actually traveling in a straight line. From its own perspective, it feels no force at all. It's coasting freely through space, moving in the straightest possible path available to it. The path just happens to be curved, because the space it's moving through is curved. The Sun didn't bend the planet's motion. The Sun bent the ruler you'd use to measure "straight."

People assume there's "no gravity" in orbit, but that's false. Gravity at the altitude of the space station is nearly as strong as it is on the ground.
Astronauts float because they, and their entire spacecraft, are in continuous free fall around the planet, following the curve of spacetime together. Falling and orbiting are the same thing. An orbit is just falling so fast sideways that you keep missing the ground.
Now hold onto that idea, because it leads somewhere your mind will resist.

Newton believed gravity was instantaneous.

If the Sun vanished right now, he assumed Earth would fly off immediately. Einstein proved that's impossible. Gravity is not instant. Changes in gravity travel at exactly the speed of light. If the Sun disappeared this second, Earth would keep orbiting the empty space where it used to be for eight full minutes, because that's how long it takes the information that the Sun is gone to ripple across 93 million miles of spacetime.

We would keep circling a ghost. We would feel the warmth of light that no longer has a source, and we would trace loyal circles around a gravity well that no longer exists, and we would have no way of knowing anything had changed until the darkness and the drift arrived together.
There's a detail even deeper than that, and it's the detail that made Einstein's theory undeniable.

For centuries, astronomers noticed that the planet Mercury's orbit was misbehaving. Its closest point to the Sun kept shifting, rotating slightly with every pass, an amount Newton's equations could not fully explain no matter how carefully they were tuned. Scientists were so confident in Newton that they invented an entire hidden planet, called Vulcan, and spent decades searching for it to explain the discrepancy. The planet did not exist.

The discrepancy existed because space near the Sun is so severely curved that Mercury, being the closest planet, feels the warping more intensely than Newton's flat-space math could account for. When Einstein ran the numbers with curved spacetime, Mercury's strange precession fell out of the equations perfectly, with no fudging, no hidden planets, no adjustments. That single calculation was the moment we knew the old universe was gone.

So when you look up and picture the planets held in place, let go of the strings. Nothing is holding them. Nothing is pulling.

The Sun simply carved a shape into the fabric of existence, and everything nearby is faithfully, silently rolling along the walls of that shape, mistaking the curve for a straight line, mistaking free fall for a bond.

Gravity was never a force gripping the planets.

It was the geometry of the stage they dance on, quietly telling them where straight ahead actually leads.

@Thanos8912 @kadena_io "- AIs are retarded and so are you."

I don’t know what the point of that was, but you’re right. This isn’t my level.

just out of curiosity, I downloaded the code from https://t.co/hep7MiAO5T
and asked the AI what it thinks about this statement

- It doesn't have 20 chains, it has 1 split into 20 segregated islands

Its answer:

No, your claim is not supported by the source code. Chainweb architecture uses 20 separate independent chains, not 1 chain split into 20 islands. Here's the evidence:

1. ChainGraph structure (Graph.hs)
• ChainGraph is a directed, regular, symmetric graph where each vertex represents a separate chain (ChainId)
• The Twenty graph explicitly has 20 vertices (order 20), degree 3, diameter 3

Independent chains (Cut.hs)
• The Cut data structure is a HashMap ChainId BlockHeader, where each ChainId has its own BlockHeader
• Each chain has its own block height: _cutMinHeight, _cutMaxHeight
• Chains can progress asynchronously at different heights

Chain relationships (Graph.hs)
• The adjacentChainIds function returns adjacent chains for a given chain
• This is a graph topology, not partitioning of a single chain
• Chains communicate via merkle proofs (SPV)

Transition handling (Version/Utils.hs)
• The chainCountAt function returns the number of chains at a given block height
• During graph transitions, new chains are created or removed

Summary: Chainweb uses 20 parallel, independent blockchains connected according to a graph topology. This is not a single chain split into parts, but a true multi-chain architecture.

Radiation scientists examine a crashed UFO sphere in Buga, Colombia.
The inside of the sphere is composed of three dense layers without gaps. An ultrasmall AI chip is located in the central core and is the brain of the UFO sphere.

The sphere seems to be observing the thoughts of the approaching scientist.
The sphere may float again.
A similar case in Kochi, Japan, 1972. A boy retrieved a malfunctioning small UFO and brought it to his home, but a few days later the small UFO flew away.

Spherical UFO recovered in Colombia.
In the video, a woman pours water on the sphere and the sphere reacts, producing water vapor.
When she touches it it is cold, it is perfectly smooth and emits a low sound from within. It appears to be operational.

On March 2, 2025, a malfunctioning spherical UFO was recovered after striking a high-voltage power line in Buga, Colombia.
Scientists conducted an X-ray examination and found that it was a sphere with a super-technological microsphere high-precision component structure.

Kadena: the L1 that a lot of people seem to have forgotten about… but is that about to change?

In their end of year AMA, the #Kadena team talked about a number of potentially interesting developments to be released in 2025.

One of these is the addition of 20 Chainweb EVM chains. This brings EVM and Solidity compatibility to Kadena’s scalable architecture.

Now you might think, oh great another #L2 player, but you’d be wrong. This is all running on an #L1 blockchain… just with multiple application language support.

This is so much better than a bridge and opens up a whole new world of opportunity.

Like… why stop with EVM? There are plenty of other options out there and I’d love to see Kadena push things on this front.

The @kadena_io team have said they’ll be showcasing DevNet for the above at #ETHDenver in Feb.

It’s an interesting move for $KDA, and just one of many talked about in their AMA. 2025 could be an interesting one for Kadena…
