@daniel_m_lavery My fears around chairs are more about how they became a bit too comfortable, and also not getting hit when someone starts throwing them around: https://t.co/2PV08lG15E (but haven't had a chance to see Backrooms yet!)
Is mathematics a body of results or a human epistemic practice?

🚨 SCIENTISTS JUST DISCOVERED “NARWHAL WAVES” THAT CAN TRAP LIGHT BEYOND KNOWN LIMITS.
And the physics behind them looks almost impossible.
Researchers have found a strange new type of wave behavior where light becomes trapped inside ultra-thin structures in ways that completely defy normal diffraction limits the rules that usually force light to spread out the tighter you try to focus it.
They’re called “narwhal waves” because of the sharp, horn-like energy spikes they create.
Why this matters:
Normally, the smaller you try to squeeze light, the harder it becomes to control.
But these new waves can:
Squeeze light into nanoscale regions
Amplify electromagnetic energy dramatically
Guide photons with extreme precision
Potentially unlock next-generation photonic computing
That means smaller, faster lasers, ultra-efficient optical chips, highly sensitive quantum sensors, and entirely new forms of light-based technology.
But the deeper implication is even
stranger:
At extreme scales, light stops behaving like a smooth, spreading wave…
and starts forming highly localized, geometric structures almost like temporary “knots” of trapped energy woven into space itself.
The boundary between waves, particles, and physical structure keeps getting blurrier.
What else is still hidden inside light that we haven’t discovered yet?
@martinmbauer It's not really a question of "if" we will make contact with extraterrestrials, but only a question of WHEN that hypothesis will be proved (or disproved): https://t.co/v0jJJBInUd
@austin17392076 Holy ergomoly!! Seeing this for the first time and can't help feeling I just wandered back into the exact recursive emergence-mythology labyrinth I was mapping in my “No Silver Labyrinth” and “Theseus” posts. Strange attractors really do be attracting

@OpenAI That's 1 Erdős conjecture down, ~1499 to go (out of an estimated 1500 conjectures he made in his lifetime.)
Sadly, he didn't establish a trust to continue dispensing his cash rewards for disproving them.
But tbh, the real prestige is in PROVING one of his conjectures TRUE 🏆
