#Zero-Point Energy

[viviarts-c]

This week's Fic Rec Friday is a bit more special -- a four-in-one-week rec!

The fics are sweet and fitting, meltwater pulse, zero-point energy, and kill your darlings by @starlitsequins (starlitsequins on ao3)

The writing is sprinkled with humor that is hilarious(kill your darlings had me dying inside), devastatingly angsty at many points, and generally a delightful read all throughout! Read the fics so the comic strips make sense

(Read meltwater pulse before zero-point energy for the full gut wrenching angst experience)

Would zero-point energy pay child support?

Vacuum Energy

Introduction In quantum field theory, vacuum energy is the zero-point energy of all the fields in space. This includes both the electromagnetic field and the other fundamental fields. It’s the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may have and is the energy of empty space. Zero-Point Energy The notion of vacuum energy is closely related to the concept of zero-point…

What if Zero-Point Energy already existed? 🤔

(For my mutuals, or the people I communicate with through DMs here on Tumblr, I apologize for any messages I haven't checked yet. I haven't had the time to be on my phone, but I wanted to quickly share this reel that I stumbled across on YouTube during my 10-minute phone break.)

You should know that I'm rereading aidays rn and now that Casual by Chappell Roan is a thing it is ABSOLUTELY on my mind

i have gone back and forth several times about whether casual is an aidays song and i think. yes. but not zukka.

casual is the official anthem of my most beloved aidays azuki <3 the bitterness, anger, and resentment in chappell's voice fits them so perfectly i can't tell if i stole the idea from her or she stole it from me

oh boy... clif high, the predictive linguistics guy from halfpasthuman.com's alta reports, says we're getting an alien invasion today. now to be clear he is both a crank and a nutcase as well as probably being in no small part responsible for the crunchy granola to fascism pipeline, but he is one of the most difficult cranks to dismiss out of hand, because his nutcasery has substance and is difficult to parse (it's rare to find cranks who can do both)

he employs an army of web crawling spiderbots to track the words people use on the internet and collates them under esoteric tags such as "space goat farts" to discuss them in what he describes as his wujos, which is a portmanteau of dojo and woowoo, as well as being what other people would describe as youtube rant videos. this supposedly allowed him to predict 9/11 and the 2004 tsunami in indonesia

why oceanography has any impact on the words people use online has never been made fully clear, but maybe it has something to do with his claims regarding h3o2 "structured water" (not really his claims if we're splitting hairs, but he uses someone else's so-called research to sell tubes with rocks inside of them to structure your water) which out of anything i've said is probably the easiest to dismiss out of hand. well actually the alien invasion claim is that it will happen 39 days after trump appeared on rogan

do with this information whatever you like, but i think none of you are daring to be specific enough when you make up a guy

I saw this image on the bird app so I wanna talk about it a little bit ⬇️

I’ll be the first one to say, yeah, I liked the older antagonists more. I liked the concept of the Zero point too, and Jones was a good protagonist over the story as well. I’ll also say, I don’t 100% jive with this new story. But I think that it’s fair to say that doesn’t make it bad right?

Nothing has been perfect, Cube Queen and Geno were very nothing as antagonists. There was very little known about them and their motives, other than “TAKE OVER REALITY ZERO”; Cube Queen was different in the way that she wanted to destroy everything at least. They both have just as much development (if not just a little more) than say The Herald or Megalo Don. The difference here is that Geno and CQ were built up a little bit over the course of at least 1 season.

Geno was known to be the mysterious leader of the I.O. for a while, that added mystery and a certain set of depth, expectation, and want to discover this character. Cube Queen was a threat that was only known as a golden cube aboard the UFO, something the island had barely won a war against the season prior to her introduction. We had seen she was capable of activating these cubes, one of which was a huge threat to the island alone. When she was released she sent droves of monsters, built her own temple-like POI, and almost destroyed the island in The End Chapter 2 Edition™️.

They had plot hooks, that’s what I’m trying to say. So did the Herald, and the Nothing. But…that’s just not something we’re seeing with this chapter, or the last. Stellan? Gone. Kado Thorne? Dead in a side quest. The Society? Brought down in one season. Valeria? Not even the game will tell us where she went. The gods? Fled. Megalo Don???? Who knows. The Wanderer was really the only one who seemed he might bring some plot hook like the former two. But now that it’s just…Dr. Doom? There’s nothing to hook people anymore, no mystery, no intrigue…

That’s what we need really, we don’t necessarily need the old plot back. We need intrigue, plot hooks for more than a season, and characters (protag and antag) that are allowed to develop and grow and be compelling. I will say that I really enjoy what they’ve done with hope actually, she’s truly become her own character and I appreciate that!

But yeah, there are definitely people who are like this. But I figured I’d just make my point clear since I saw that. :3

Chapter 16: The Uncertainty Principle

16.1 Introduction The uncertainty principle is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics that places limits on the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties can be simultaneously known. It was first formulated by Werner Heisenberg in 1927 and is crucial for understanding the behavior of particles at the quantum level. This chapter will discuss the uncertainty principle and its…

the "otto killed violet on accident via botched tracheotomy and mycroft bribed the judge to prosecute as murder" is still my favorite ending for a lot of reasons (i personally think it makes the most sense and i think you can still have the other conclusions in the other endings work w it too e.g. sherlock giving his mom the drug plus richter sedating her when she was attacking him = allergic reaction. hence tracheotomy. and i like that mycroft narrates the slides at the end of it). but if im honest i think my favorite part is mycroft still arguing with sherlock while he has a gun pointed at his face

oh no
