We’re fucked.

I’m skeptical, yet very interested.

Except if this was how it worked, then elves would be babies for like 10 years before being toddlers for like 30 and teenagers for 50-70 years.

A decade as a toddler? Nah.

I think it’s fair to say elves reach maturity almost as quickly, just age slower after reaching maturity. Same with dwarves, etc.

by shooting matter in one direction and antimatter in another. Like they know.

Not exactly, no.

#The matter- antimatter asymmetry problem

###The Big Bang should have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter. So why is there far more matter than antimatter in the universe?

The Big Bang should have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter in the early universe. But today, everything we see from the smallest life forms on Earth to the largest stellar objects is made almost entirely of matter. Comparatively, there is not much antimatter to be found. Something must have happened to tip the balance. One of the greatest challenges in physics is to figure out what happened to the antimatter, or why we see an asymmetry between matter and antimatter.

Antimatter particles share the same mass as their matter counterparts, but qualities such as electric charge are opposite. The positively charged positron, for example, is the antiparticle to the negatively charged electron. Matter and antimatter particles are always produced as a pair and, if they come in contact, annihilate one another, leaving behind pure energy. During the first fractions of a second of the Big Bang, the hot and dense universe was buzzing with particle-antiparticle pairs popping in and out of existence. If matter and antimatter are created and destroyed together, it seems the universe should contain nothing but leftover energy.

Nevertheless, a tiny portion of matter - about one particle per billion - managed to survive. This is what we see today. In the past few decades, particle-physics experiments have shown that the laws of nature do not apply equally to matter and antimatter. Physicists are keen to discover the reasons why. Researchers have observed spontaneous transformations between particles and their antiparticles, occurring millions of times per second before they decay. Some unknown entity intervening in this process in the early universe could have caused these “oscillating” particles to decay as matter more often than they decayed as antimatter.

Tldr just because you didn’t properly listen or the teacher was shit doesn’t mean physicists are as ignorant about the subject as you think. No offense.

I knew I wasn’t going to have to link this.

“‘Wales’…? Really, sir?”

“Oh, yes. Don’t you think?”

“What, the vast terra incognito with fauna and flora hitherto undreamt of by sights puts you in mind nothing so much as… Rhyl…?”

“No, of course not. Not North Wales. That’s ridiculous, it’s nothing like North Wales.”

Also they named Turku just Åbo.

Åbo.

Swedish “å” is an entire word meaning;

a river, a creek, a big stream

“Bo”

bo n

**a dwelling** (of an animal), especially a bird's nest

    fågelbo

        bird’s nest

    att bygga bo

        to build a nest / to nest ("build nest" – idiomatic phrasing)

(poetic, extended from sense 1) **a home**

sätta bo

    settle down

So it’s a three letter word basically saying river-dwelling

I think rather than ask Finns what a place was named they just named them themselves. Perhaps because they were tired of the locals calling everything shit and piss. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That would actually be pretty amazing for a beach holiday.

the whole world knows this language

That would be super dangerous.

It’s prolly more accurate to say “reality obeys this language”

I feel like the execution is going to be on this level:

Ying Jang’s Seefood app

No, they don’t convey the sense of danger, I agree.

But “light-emitter” would be worse than “it radiates death/evil”, imho

Lots of “stops” everywhere and and skulls in red triangles, yeah, that should be somewhat clear toa lot of people. But not everyone

They have “ray of frost”. They can understand “radiation”. Not necessarily what is radiating but the word itself is old.

radiation(n.)

mid-15c., radiacion, “act or process of emitting light,” from Latin radiationem (nominative radiatio) “a shining, radiation,” noun of action from past-participle stem of radiare “to beam, shine, gleam; make beaming,” from radius “beam of light; spoke of a wheel” (see radius).

Tldr “radiate” is like 1500’s whereas “emitter” is a fairly modern word, from the 1880’s.

Time for a rewatch of Chernobyl.

Now I’m imagining all dragons just home-aloneing it deep inside a mountain.

I read that and then imagined it was a lecture by some sort of an insect, likely an ant-type, wearing a monocle and a top hat.

Imagine having that smart-arse teenager be that annoying for like, a few decades.

Or just… the emotionality that comes with hormones. Although one would imagine since elves do end up being more wise and whatnot, that they sort of start gathering more wisdom even though it’s slower to start with. As in, they’d be horny like a teenager for a decade or two, but they’d learn to somewhat manage it after the first five years.

I have like a huge pile of letters from some twat lawyers sending threatening letters about copyright.

The sad thing is most people I asked say “I would pay”. This was like more than 10 years ago when I first got some of them.

The Pirate Party in Finland tried informing people of them being just threats, but Finns are really complicit people and afraid of breaking any rules, so I’m sure these twat lawyers made thousand, tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands. With Finland’s tiny 5m population.

Basically what happens is some company in Germany which owns the rights to some B-class show or just a porn film even, then they upload it to an open torrent site. Wait for people to download it (remember the didn’t give permission to download it), look at the IP’s, then send the respective country in EU a request for the ISP to get that IP owner’s information and then hire a local lawyer to send them a threatening letter; “you’ve illegally downloaded a porn movie, pay us 800€ or we’ll take you to court and you’ll have to pay tens of thousands.”

And if that goes to someone married or someone who downloaded fetish porn or something, they’ll be even more likely to pay.

I never replied or did jack shit. Nothing has happened.

Well, I guess, but… you could argue that Zionists are mostly seen to be purely Jewish due to the nature of the movement.
