@WilfriedKnapp @WKCosmo @Resonaances Except the SM already contains dark matter in the form of neutrinos (they don't interact through EM and so are an example of dark matter). I guess Pauli must have been acting very unscientifically when he proposed this invisible matter to "save" energy and momentum conservation?

@postquantum Yet Lorentz symmetry implies that all particles are charged the same under a force mediated by massless spin-2 bosons. So this feature seems to be automatically present in such theories. Can this and the other similarities between spin-2 and gravity really be a mere accident?

Cope, and seethe, I bet you dont even know how to acquire an ineffable sense of the godhead. You will never become Amaranth, you will never ascend the mantles of Heaven, you will never discover fundamental truths, nobody will ever intellectually respect you or what you say

@_determinista @danielelisalde_ @fasc1nate We *are* animals. Suggesting that we are inherently special or assuming that we possess faculties fundamentally inaccessible to other animals is quite literally textbook anthropocentrism.

@pixelbox420 @PhysInHistory "I do not believe in free will. Schopenhauer's words: 'Man can do what he wants, but he cannot will what he wills,' accompany me in all situations throughout my life and reconcile me with the actions of others, even if they are rather painful to me..." - Einstein, "My Credo" 1932

@WKCosmo However, if you have a scalar s(x) and an (invertible) scalar q(x), neither are diffeomorphism invariant individually, but s(x(q)) = s'(q) is!

@WKCosmo This 100%

@AlexKontorovich Axioms are invented; their consequences are discovered.

@SJ_Powers @cosmicfibretion What form the particular quantum-mechanical models that describe our universe take is a separate question. "Quantum" just means a certain type of theory: one in which you have non-commuting observables.

[kris @neurodnik]

@Matzan481_ @cosmicfibretion The point is that small stuff doesn't behave "weirdly" because it's quantum. EVERYTHING is quantum. Rather, small stuff behaves weirdly because it's small.

[kris @neurodnik]

@Matzan481_ @cosmicfibretion We do. The physics at everyday scales is governed by the quantum mechanics of the enormous aggregates of particles we call macroscopic objects, the behaviour of which are extraordinarily well-approximated by classical mechanics.

you're telling me most people remember their childhoods? it's not normal to have occasional single memories with years of nothing and a general feeling of unease?
