Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Ah, from the picture I thought he would teach us how to read barcodes (which do underpin human reality), but it's just some boring simulation stuff.

Same lmao

Pretty sure he's misunderstanding interference patterns

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 days ago

Yeah, drugs and looking into lasers will definitely change your brain, no doubt. Dunno if I want advice from someone who does that, tho…

"Let's see how close I can get the lasers to my eyes without going blind..."

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The dude's fully learned advanced physics?

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 8 points 2 days ago

"yeah yeah the simulation lasers, we've all seen it"

"Could you see the day? Could you feel your whole world fall apart and fade away?

Get along, get along, Kid Charlemagne Get along, Kid Charlemagne"

Is that a curable condition?

[–] toofpic@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Laser eye damage? Not so much

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah I can walk you through treatment. We're just going to need a little DMT

[–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 6 points 2 days ago

Not gonna see much it he keeps putting lasers in his eyes

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I did that with LSD 40 years ago.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Bro is about to reinvent shamanism

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'll buy that for a dollar.

Here, you want a mind fuck? I'll let you have it for free:

Bell's Theorem: The universe is not locally real (either the speed of light is violable or properties of things do not exist until observed). Light simultaneously takes all paths, and so does everything else if given the right conditions. We just perceive "Location" as a property things have because of probability and the fact that all of the other potential locations have probability functions that average out to zero (not a quantum physicist, so probably not using quite the right terms there). "Everything" literally is "Everywhere, All At Once". The world that we perceive is nothing more or less than a vast ocean of waves within overlapping fields. The interference between the waves, the troughs and crests, are the objects we perceive. Nothing is truly as you see it, even yourself. Also, the force of gravity doesn't exist. Time just passes slower near massive objects.

That's the best I can do for ya. First hit's free.

I don't see how these facts of physics say anything about our reality being simulated? Or even contradicting if we really exist etc? I mean they can get your imagination going sure but being able to verify the human experience is the penultimate arbiter
