One of the most accurate and successful theories in physics contains the single worst prediction and isn't mathematically rigorous at all.

Doing calculations with it feels like doing vibes based maths, and you spend a lot of time doing things like: "oops divided by zero guess I'll cancel it out by multiplying by zero" and it works.

I can't explain this

If you don't put small holes in the bubble wrap pasta, you could make a fun kind of pasta that explodes while cooking, sending boiling water everywhere and burning everyone in the kitchen

The small disruptive protests that make everyone upset are what we use to build these events, it's a confusing strategy from the outside but as we have demonstrated, it is effective as hell when given the chance to evolve.

That said, blockade Australia basically does this sort of stuff on a small scale all the time. They're out there blocking coal trains that supply ports like this, and I have nothing but the greatest respect for them.

Small edit: RT's insta is covering all of this in fabulous detail

That's me! Let me dump the important info here:

I was one of three people arrested yesterday (Saturday 23 Nov), the first taken into custody by police as part of the peoples blockade in Newcastle New South Wales Australia, the world's largest coal port.

Today, a further 170 passionate people from all walks of life were arrested. Children, great grandparents, doctors etc, everyone was represented on the water. This was the largest civil disobedience action in Australian history.

5000 people were in attendence, and we have generated 2840 news articles (so far), almost all are positive.

We have a right to disrupt corporations who are burning our children's futures to the ground all in the name of profit, and we will be heard. We have sent an intensely strong message today to the New South Wales and Australian governments, we want an end to coal exports and mining with a 78% tax on current coal mines.

We have overturned their attempts to illegally stop our protest, both in court and on the water.

For me, this was about the children. I was able to grow up thinking my future was bright, and the children of today have a right to the same. I will fight for them, and I feel much of Australia is on our side.

I've had to watch today online due to my bail conditions, but I'm so fucking proud of all my friends up there, they're making a huge wave and that will now be carried to Canberra where the protest will continue at the federal parliament.

There's basically no way to answer these questions using real physics I'm afraid.

It definitely can't close it's mouth faster than the speed of light. Yes it would have a strong gravitational pull, almost definitely so strong that it would just collapse into a black hole and not be able to exist. If it weren't that dense, then it would basically just be a big diffuse gas cloud that couldn't do much anyway, it would basically have to be a proto galaxy to not collapse into one.

If it's using magic to exist, then anything is on the table.

It's important for the left to recognise that boomers as a whole also represent a group of people who face significant systemic challenges, and that the real enemy is capitalism and the power structures that maintain it as the status quo.

If they've been subsidised so much, the company should just be made a public entity rather than just stopping the funding.

I'm more concerned about the fact that shitty companies will use this sort of thing to put graphic designers out of a job.

This isn't good progress. Even soulless corporate bullshit puts food on the table for someone, soon it'll just make another company a bit richer.

I had a fossil before I bought my Samsung, and it was a god awful mess. Barely functional, slow and honestly kind of ugly.

Still, a shame to lose more competitors.
