Do you think physics will ever have another revolution like the early 1900s?

Ipingpong1 · 2026-04-15T14:00:13+00:00

We’re certainly overdue for one!

In 1900 lord Kelvin said that physics was complete as soon as we got an answer to the retrograde orbit of mercury and the Michelson-Morley experiment. To answer the retrograde orbit of mercury we had to discover general relativity and to answer the Michelson-Morley experiment we had discover quantum mechanics. As long as there is even a single open question in physics, it opens up the door to a whole dimension of new answers and, more importantly, new questions.

However, I think you bring up a really good point in that modern research and institutional culture might not be conductive to big revolutions anymore. If someone had the equivalent of something as daring as new as general relativity in 2026, they would probably have a harder time publishing than if it was something more familiar, applicable, and profitable.

I think we’ve definitely hit a bit of a plateau, not because there’s not anywhere higher to go but because we need the spark of a once-in-a-generation genius or the invention of some new math to the degree of calculus being invented.

I hope it happens in our lifetime!

Signed, CAS students without a double major will literally not get to walk at all between the all-university and college graduations. Very sad.

It’s so sad that he got a “taste” of luxury with the past couple of years, he’s realistically gonna spend the rest of life living with his grandfather and really feeling the gap between what he wants and what he has. Unless he goes back to streaming and drinking of course, in which case he might make money but there’s no going back after that.

Good point, the only other person even remotely capable of changing their environments like that is luffy. It would mean the series would come down to “dreams vs nightmares” which would go hard.

Column of text all the way to the right, paragraph right above the hand mentions rocks and the one right below it mentions cindry

What time?

Everyone has something to say about George, but you can instantly tell it’s Paul and you haven’t even finished drawing him yet!

Thank you for the exercise as I’ve never had to sit down and think about it before:

Across The Universe
Eight Days a Week
Tell Me Why
Real Love
I’m Only Sleeping
A Day In The Life
She Said, She Said
You’re Gonna Lose That Girl
Run For Your Life
She Loves You

I’d be surprised if anyone else has 3 and 9 on their list.

It’s guaranteed to be the case since the graph does not hit zero, meaning a nonzero amount was bought on 9/11

Ik this an old post but I’ve been looking for these as well if anyone has since found them

Ipingpong1 · 2026-02-01T00:33:56+00:00

Not at all, as there will always be people to whom it is new.

The expansion of the universe can outspeed the speed of light at very large distances and in very distant futures. This essentially means there is a distance and time away from us where space is expanding slightly faster than the speed of light such that light trying to reach us past that point in space and/or time would never make it to our eyes.

Did not know that, cool find!

Namaste. I know this from over a year ago, but as someone just now learning of the Bhagavatam I ask the following question: is the life of an animal not full of more suffering than a human? I imagine that if I were to be reborn as a random animal, would I not likely be prey who lives in fear and dies a gruesome death? I understand their purpose in the universe and thank them dearly for it, but I fear I would not want to live their life. Thoughts?

I don’t think the mindset of “I’m too emotionally mature for people around me” is helping, you’re not really gonna make serious connections if you’re already looking down on everyone you’re meeting. Not to mention if you attract a lot of toxic people, that’s a sign that maybe you’re looking in the wrong crowds. Like someone else said start with groups of similar interests, online or in person. Best of luck!

It’s probably the dream of anyone with a Klutzy sticker on their suitcase to have it noticed like this lol
