I identify as degenerate matter.

In condensed matter physics, a time crystal is a quantum system of particles whose lowest-energy state is one in which the particles are in repetitive motion. The system cannot lose energy to the environment and come to rest because it is already in its quantum ground state. Because of this, the motion of the particles does not really represent kinetic energy like other motion; it has "motion without energy".

"Programmable Matter" tf

Theorized form of matter that could exist in the cores of neutron stars.

Essentially matter compressed beyond a critical point where protons and neutrons break down and dissociate into quarks.

If this quark matter contains strange quarks, then it is called strange matter.

Well first of all, fuck you smartass.

But also yes, you're right

I wouldn't even try to defend OP, but I once heard someone say that if you have more than four apples, then it is also definitely true that you have four apples.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 18 points 2 years ago

That's true in a very literal sense, but there's a whole branch of linguistics called pragmatics that's concerned with things like why it's usually safe to conclude that when someone says they have four apples, they mean that have only four apples. When there's any ambiguity I talk like a mathematician and use phrases like "at least four apples" or "exactly four apples".

It's technically correct, like saying at least 4 people died from covid.

[-] Lightdm@feddit.de 17 points 2 years ago

More specifically: "4 people died from covid" is also true

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

On the other hand, adding a single world like "only" in there suddenly makes it completely false. Language is fun.

OP treating his statement as a correction requires that he’s not using this interpretation. If he were to use this defense, so could the teacher, so he’d just be changing how he’s wrong, not that he is.

[-] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

What if there's a worm in one of them?

Like, you think you habe more than four apples.

Then you find out that most of them have worms.

In the end, you are left with two apples.

So now, it is not true that you have four apples.

This is the 'senses' argument, or the 'moons of Jupiter' argument.

I identify as degenerate matter

Edit: Whoops, someone already commented that elsewhere in the thread. Oh well.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks to Lemmy's Hot algorithm though, we see your joke first!

[-] hansl@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It’s only a matter of opinion.

There is that ice that turns all other water into ice!

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I mean, all ice turns "other water" into ice, as long as it's cold enough

[-] Deepus@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Holy butt munch Batman! Why are we taught lies!?

[-] Danksy@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Because if we weren't then no class would ever learn anything, as the teaching would move at a glacial pace and cover material that isn't relevant until you start on your PhD.
