@thor when i had stressful times, i woke up 45-60 minutes after starting to sleep. i felt rested, but only for an hour or so.
@clacke maybe, i also block a few things, but mostly i just ignore them by skipping over it. it just feels a bit off that there are so many supposed discussion platforms which are only used as sacred echo chamber. those bubbles won't make the world a better place, they never have.
the most strange thing is that conservatives seem to have fewer problems to discuss than progressives, which is the reverse of what prog. and cons. usually meant. 😶

Some of the physics students I tutor recently asked me to explain the Casimir Effect in simple conceptual terms, so here it is...
The Casimir Effect can be noticed if you take two plates separated by a very small distance in a vacuum; there will be a mysterious force that causes the plates to be attracted to each other.
The cause of this effect is analogous and similar to having two plates in a medium, like water; If you apply sound waves to the water with a wavelength greater than the distance of the separation of the plates you will notice the plates will attract. This is because the waves are too big to enter the space between the plates and as such they exert a force on the outside faces of the plates and none on the inside faces, causing them to attract.
However with the Casimir Effect the plates are in a vacuum, and the waves come from quantum fluctuations rather than traditional mechanical waves. As we know from quantum mechanics everything can be represented as waves. We also know that at very small dimensions we witness a "quantum foam", essentially particles and energy constantly flashing in and out of existence. These particles and energy are essentially the source of the waves in a vacuum. If the plates are sufficiently close then only particles and energy of sufficiently small wavelength will occur between the plates, while larger wavelengths would be free to form in the space outside the plates. As such a similar effect as our water example occurs where there are more waves to exert a force on the outside faces of the plates than on the inside faces. As such the two plates are again attracted to each other.

@Josefine hi! 🐘
@mathlover it's really interesting that this kind of reasoning isn't dependent on education. there are well educated people saying such dumb things, and uneducated people which are quite reasonable. i'm kind of interested how one gets to this point of illogical reasoning.
@mathlover one has to applaud the mind gymnastics to say that something federated is run by a single group (aka nazis), but then, i'm not sure they know the meaning of "federated" ;)
@freemo i guess we are going to have real problems: a generation which can't use anything which doesn't hold their hands (my mother is more computer savy than most teens), and two giant companies dictating what software is ok to run on our own devices.
that's what's the price for dumbing down complicated things (computers) so that supposedly everyone can use them without putting at least some work into it. it's just like how the fediverse is a tad bit more hard to use than twitter.
@freemo welp, that's what we get for the mobile os duopoly 🤷♀️
They are really arguing plain-text isn't inclusive enough...
