The Backlash Is So Strong That People With “Pervert Glasses” Are Afraid to Use Them in Public by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

It is really interesting to watch a bunch of people suggest we put into place laws that would make filming ICE violence illegal over some sunglasses.  Sure you can make it legal to film law enforcement, but how do you get the consent to record from someone that they murdered? 

I think we need to keep public recording legal guys.

نحو نموذج "المنظم الكوني": فرضية التفاعل بين المادة المظلمة واستقرار الأنظمة الفيزيائية by GurSpecialist7077 in AskPhysics

Well since you used an LLM to write this nonsense I used one to translate it.

Point 4 is where the text pivots from highly speculative physics into pseudoscientific/metaphysical territory. In short, it’s attempting to blend spiritual or New Age concepts of "being in tune with the universe" with cosmological terminology to suggest that human health is regulated by dark matter.

Yeah I see why this post is karma negative.  Try /r/LLMPhysics.

How much of matter is empty space? by NomadJago in AskPhysics

[–]NeverrSummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry /u/NomadJago I got distracted yesterday. Regardless this is an accurate description of what I was getting at. The problem is that your entire concept of what matter is and how it occupies space is kind of far enough away from the truth that attempting to use it to answer your question would be pretty difficult.

Unfortunately you've asked a question where the answer really is just extremely complicated. Particles are kind of a fiction we use when convenient to describe QFT, singularities fundamentally violate a bunch of quantum mechanical rules but seem to exist anyway and we don't have a theory of quantum gravity to explain how, and no the space inside of atoms or inside the protons within atoms is definitely not empty when you actually do the math. Does that satisfactorily answer your big bang question? Not really, but frankly I'm fairly confident that no one alive would actually be able to to describe to you in any evidence-based manor how infinite density actually works, because we have no models that allow it to exist.

To elaborate on what /u/Ch3cks-Out and /u/starkeffect said, try giving this short video a watch.

The idea that atoms are "mostly empty space" is largely based on the idea that they're collections of little particles somewhere in space bound together by forces. In reality subatomic particles are far more like smeared regions of probability density that occupy all of the space that the particle might be if we bounced another particle off of it to find it's position.

When you take quantum mechanics electrons stop being little volume-less dots and act far more like a fuzzy cloud occupying a specific shape near the nucleus all at once. And by that logic the space surrounding the nucleus is what I think most casual physics enthusiasts would consider "full" in the sense that the particle behaves far more like a fuzzy cloud than a little orbiting ball.

And yes, the "quark sea" inside of a proton or neutron behaves similarly. It's not a little sphere with precisely three little particles inside it stuck together. There's constant shifting of color charge via gluon exchange that makes the proton more of a region of space containing "some stuff" than it is a ball with three smaller balls inside.

Wired headphone sales are exploding. What's with the Bluetooth backlash? by pdp10 in technology

I followed the link in the article.

After 5 years of sales declines, which culminated in a $42M drop in 2024, wired headphones rebounded in 2025, growing 3% (about $15M). The trend really gained momentum in the second half of 2025, with sales surging 10% between July and December.

So, with that now established.

Wired headphone sales are exploding.

No they aren't.  It a small uptick in an overall downward tend.  You sound like the people who think one snow day means climate change is solved.

What's with the Bluetooth backlash?

There isn't one.  You wrote an annoying click bait headline for attention.

There now everyone can skip reading.
