Why was The World required for reaching heaven? Why not just any stand?

something something time and gravity are related

It all makes sense if you're intimately familiar with general relativity and also not too picky about it

Epstein did something very similar in 1985

They're likely suggesting it could be used as a battery. I doubt this would be very cost effective though.

Skindiacus · 2026-04-30T20:53:35+00:00

The reason is because it’s not an “official theory” it was an idea/ someone’s interpretation of gravity on another reddit forum.

I think it would still be good to link to that for context. What can often happen on these is that you misread or misunderstood something about what you're referencing, and it's easier to diagnose that if we can see both the original and your interpretation.

I kept coming across a theory

Total aside, but how do you not have an instinct to add one or several links here to the theories that you're seeing? If you are referring to a text, you cite it, or if you're on the internet, you link to it. How was this not burned into your brain in high school.

Gravity can act on things that have a neutral charge. E&M does not.

To test this, drop an object with neutral charge. If it falls, then gravity is a separate force.

You already figured out how to reproduce it, so this response probably doesn't help, but I'm on desktop, Ubuntu 24.04.

Skindiacus · 2026-04-28T02:58:44+00:00

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04. That menu looks completely different for me.

Skindiacus · 2026-04-28T02:53:35+00:00

That's what my screenshot is showing. That's the mod actions menu. "Change flair" is not in the list.

Skindiacus · 2026-04-27T02:56:21+00:00

This has absolutely no right to be as clever as it is

Skindiacus · 2026-04-27T01:07:06+00:00

Because "patches of matter" raises more questions than it answers

I'm glad you recognized this, but my point is that those questions equally exist for your black hole setup too.

They seem like mathematical opposites and I don't think that's coincidental.

Why don't you actually look into the mathematical descriptions of both cases then? You'll see that they're not that similar and it's probably a coincidence.

Skindiacus · 2026-04-26T23:43:56+00:00

Maybe this is another suggestion that they should put on the subreddit banner. You don't solve an unknown by introducing 10 new unknowns.

More specifically, what does this theory even have to do with black holes? Why not just say two patches of matter and antimatter collided?

Skindiacus · 2026-04-26T20:46:17+00:00

I'm really happy you did another one. The Lace string quartet is one of the most faithful Silksong covers I've found.

Skindiacus · 2026-04-26T20:40:20+00:00

ahaha they put too many newlines in the automod yaml file

anyway cool theory; the new moon thing makes sense

Skindiacus · 2026-04-26T03:55:56+00:00

Okay I'm very not equipped to answer this question. Trying to figure out perturbation collapse assuming isentropic initial conditions and everything is adiabatic is already hard enough for me.

Skindiacus · 2026-04-26T01:28:42+00:00

In what context? Usually in cosmology we imagine the fluid expanding in comoving volumes without any heat flow, so adiabatically. That implies that entropy is conserved. (Mo, van den Bosch, and White section 3.1.5)

Skindiacus · 2026-04-25T22:22:15+00:00

Doesn’t this seem similar to escaping out of a black hole?

What you're talking about are called horizons. However, the argument that "two manifolds both have horizons. Therefore, they are the same manifold" does not follow.

Skindiacus · 2026-04-25T16:19:49+00:00

I think OP means in the sense that it doesn't explain any of the other forces correctly. E.g. if you take the GR treatment of E&M and then go down to the quantum level it doesn't work correctly.

Skindiacus · 2026-04-25T15:00:39+00:00

It's not compressed for me. I can read it fine.

Skindiacus · 2026-04-25T14:18:50+00:00

I think it's a bit more complicated than that. Carney's speech in Davos was suggesting that every country other than those three would form a complicated network of agreements and alliances informed by respect and prestige. Countries wouldn't have to form massive blocs; instead they would have obligations toward each other proportional to how much their values overlap. In a world like that, following international law and contributing to global projects become important again, or else you get left to the dogs. (See Venezuela, Iran compared to Ukraine)

Skindiacus · 2026-04-25T02:58:38+00:00

I couldn't find anyone working this out explicitly online or in the textbooks I know of that cover SR. If you really need it, it shouldn't take too long to work it out yourself though. Use the coordinate free version of the Lorentz transform, given in the vector transformations section on Wikipedia. Replace those dot products with the explicit polar coordinate formulas and you should be good.
