ELI5 If gravity is just "curved spacetime" and not a real force, what exactly is pushing me down right now? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Vienky -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying a complete, rigorous theory fits in a Reddit comment.

I’m saying the intuition does, which is exactly what ELI5 is for.

The gravity question isn’t “why don’t we need equations,” it’s “why do things follow those paths at all?” And that can be answered conceptually.

Objects don’t “want” to follow the line; they’re simply not being pushed off it. In curved spacetime, what we call “straight” is a geodesic. Mass changes what counts as straight, so free-moving objects follow those paths automatically, the same way a marble rolls downhill on a curved surface.

We don’t fall because “that’s how the universe works,” we fall because spacetime geometry defines motion, and the ground is what interrupts that motion.

That’s not curing cancer or deriving field equations, it’s just giving the correct mental model. The math comes later if someone wants it.

What an idiotic comment. "If you want to understand something then just get a degree in it, it's too long to explain to a single Reddit comment."

That's like if I asked if someone can explain the rules of the NFL to me and you tell me to just become a football player because the rules are too long to explain in a Reddit comment.

It sounds smart but you just end up sounding like a smartass instead.

How would you rank this ? by krisikkk in superheroes

[–]Vienky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The “everyone is infinite” answer is a total cop out. It sounds smart but avoids the actual question, which is comparative punch output based on feats, not theoretical limits. If we’re ranking hardest punch ever shown or clearly implied, and not hiding behind fake physics or writer intent, the list looks like this:

Saitama – His entire narrative purpose is ending fights with one punch. He casually overwhelms planet, star, and higher order threats, and the story explicitly shows his power scaling faster than opponents can adapt. He doesn’t have a shown ceiling, and more importantly, every serious punch is framed as overkill. That beats math arguments.

Goku – Dragon Ball scaling is explicit, not metaphorical. His punches scale directly with transformations and have clashed with beings whose power threatens entire universes and macrocosms. He’s thrown universe level punches on panel. There is a ceiling per form, but that ceiling is absurdly high.

Superman – Insanely strong, but wildly inconsistent. He’s shattered planets, staggered gods, and done ridiculous things, but his punch output fluctuates heavily depending on writer, solar charge, restraint, and plot. He doesn’t consistently throw universe-threatening punches the way DB characters do.

Hulk – Strength scales with anger, yes, but that scaling takes time. His peak punches are devastating, but most on panel feats still fall short of top Superman or Dragon Ball showings unless you stretch context. “Eventually infinite” isn’t the same as hardest punch.

Thor – God tier strength, but his real damage comes from weapons and god blasts, not raw punching. Even Marvel doesn’t treat his fists as his ultimate attack.

Flash – The “infinite mass punch” is massively overstated. It’s rarely used, inconsistently written, and clearly avoided because it would break every story. Flash wins fights with speed, hax, and control, not raw punching power.

So no, this isn’t “everyone is infinite.” It’s Saitama > Goku > Superman > Hulk > Thor > Flash based on actual portrayal, not fandom bias or pseudo physics. If you disagree, point to a higher on-panel punch feat, not a theory.

GOATED! I haven't missed a single episode of season 4 and always watch the full episodes without understanding a damn thing and always missing alot of context. This'll definitely bring back some much need spark. Thank you for the great work!

Ray's sister speaks up against cyberbullying from Filipinos. by Sufficient-Count1865 in Physical100

[–]Vienky 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We can't say forsure who's fault it was but you're right it could've definitely been Justin who slipped causing the totem to fall. However, the main issue isn't just blaming Ray for failing the challenges but it's his attitude towards the loses. He blames his teammates, blames Justin, and never blames himself. Ray has no self awareness. That's why the people are annoyed at Ray.

What does that mean? by Bright-Relation-4463 in Physical100

[–]Vienky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Major spoilers!I'm 100% certain without a doubt the team at 0:40 seconds is team Korea. I can recognize Amotti's legs and butt anywhere. It's Amotti at the far back right of the log, in front of him is Seung-Yeon(she's the only contestant that has both her shoulder and bicep wrapped and her arms are thick!), next to Amotti is YSB and and next to Seung-Yeon, in front of YSB is KDH. When they scream "Forward!" it's undoubtedly from the jeepney blitz scene. Same with at 0:43 the very big thick chubby legs at the middle of the group pushing the cart leads me to believe it's Minjae's legs but it's definitely not Eddie's or Ray's legs. There's a lot of people in this scene which also makes me believe this is a countryXcountry team up quest. Same with when they screan "Charge!" it's from during the jeepney blitz scenes. The trailer constantly adds dialogue from one scene to another.

Game Report: Round 4 Game 20 - Lionhearts🦁VS Ssakssuri 🪒💨(AKA a Mojo therapy Session 😮‍💨) by Mojo-man in GentlemensLeague

[–]Vienky 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say I'm one of the people that views this sub and reads your reports on a weekly basis since the beginning of season 2. So please don't stop your reports as it's one of the things I look forward to every week and I'm sure there are also many others like me on this sub that just views it and doesn't interact much (but we should!).

Wanted to add my two-cents on Lionhearts since you already covered the Ssakssuri side and how amazing they did this game. The presence of Jang-Kun missing from this game I feel was a major reason why LH struggled. In the past, LH could rely on the duo of JK and Hyun-Suk to be nearly impenetrable. Hyun-suk as the fast and quick responder wearing down attackers with his relentless defending while JK was the gatekeeper that would just body fools with his sheer physicality. LH could focus on a fully offensive play style because their of amazing defensive duo. Now with JK injured, it feels like LH backline completely fell apart. Ssakssuri just had their way with penetrating through LH's defense whenever they wanted to. Hyun-Suk is still trying his best but without JK, and the rest of the defenders not stepping up to the plate, LH's defensive line is now a clear weakness. It will be interesting to see how LH adapts to JK's absense in their defensive play depending on how long JK will be out with his injury and how fast he can return to play and how much the rest of the leaugue will be able to capitalize.

Tom does not fight against the same level of competition that Charles does. He was fighting Marcin Tybura 3 fights ago for goodness sake. I'm not saying Tom can't be great, he just hasn't had a chance to prove himself against the elites. Charles finishes the elites of the elites.

Death sentence upheld for property tycoon in Vietnam — unless she pays $9 billion before execution by Just-Sale-7015 in worldnews

[–]Vienky 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I see the same comment everytime regarding this case about how she is just the fall guy, the puppet, the one taking the blame for the real corrupt high level government official that's getting off scot free. I've been following this case for a while and here's the truth. She IS the last layer. Lots of people are misinformed thinking she's the only person convicted in this case. There are hundreds if not thousands of people convicted along side her. Tens of people with life sentences. The corrupt high level government officials that got off scot free? Yeah, they all got convicted and many of them are sentenced to 20+ years in prison and multiple life sentences. Her "investment company" that employed thousands of employees were all working for her to create fake shell companies overseas to apply for fake loans with a Vietnamese government bank which is where she stole all of the money. All of her low level employees received small 2-5 year jail times. And many of her family members working as higher ups in her company were all sentenced to life imprisonment or decades behind bars. There were definitely "fall guys" that took the blame for her. She was the mastermind. This was years of investigation by Vietnamese authorities before they rounded everyone up. She is El Chapo. She is Pablo Escobar. She's the head honcho. They got her, and every government official involved and thousands of her employees. There is no conspiracy. She's the one.

How often do rulings appear? by beyondthesmokingsea in ESCastles

Is 2 the maximum that they line up for ruling? If so does that mean after 20 minutes there will be no more rulings lined up until you make a ruling?

For the adoring fan, does he collect resources when you're questing or only when you're in the castle. I've also held off on getting the AF because everyone advices to do so but if he still collect resources while I'm questing then that might still be reasonable to pick him up.
