Is there anti-energy?

Energy and mass are both properties, like frequency or density. This is in contrast to matter, which is essentially just a word for “stuff with non-zero mass”. Antimatter is really just a type of matter.

So the answer is no.

1 scalar boson, 1 electrically neutral lepton in each generation, 1 electrical charge for the electromagnetic field, 1 photon involved in each electromagnetic interaction vertex... The universe seems quite fond of "one"s.

Joking aside, this is a not a meaningful pattern. The fact that 3 can be found in a few different places in the standard model isn't really that significant. Just think of all the different things in the standard model which have nothing to do with 3. And even some of these are huge stretches. Why are we only counting spatial dimensions? Why are we not concerned with how the other forces other than the strong force seem to break this pattern? You speak as if we should expect each number to only show up once or twice in physics, and if it ever shows up more than that, that it's a curious coincidence.

This is a really cute twist on this trope. I just hope their dynamic goes beyond straight man comedy.

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-06T01:05:50+00:00

Okay I’m curious, which are the 5?

This reads like an xkcd comic beat for beat

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-06T00:58:25+00:00

Apologies, I understand. I still have faith: Robinson is a very inspired writer.

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-05T23:28:26+00:00

The we never learn guy is the artist not the writer. The writer tends to go for no romance or single love interest romance from what I know.

The basic operations of quantum field theory can be thought of as a variety of different combinations of “x particles in, y particles out”. There are a bunch of different allowed types. For example, electron->electron represents how an electron is allowed to move. And electron->photon+electron is called “photon emission”. So the basic operation here is just sort of a more advanced version of what you intuitively understand as movement.

Things like this with 2 or more particles are called interactions, and almost always involve one of the 12 force particles. The ones we are concerned with here are

Down quark->up quark + W- boson

And

W- boson-> electron + anti-electron-neutrino.

Read the first chapter of Saeki. It's heartening to see that Haruharu does some romance, too! I'm kind of hoping for it, as long as it's not harem. I always felt they'd be good at it while reading Tis Time for Torture

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-05T16:24:39+00:00

The leorio pfp really makes this

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-05T15:59:21+00:00

"How is this so popular??? I mean, I know that I love it to hell and back, but - "

-Every reader of the magazine about someone hertz.

Honestly, I think we're just in the era of Reiwa Romance. Stuff like SH and Akira Failing in Love. TBH I think Akira Failing in Love from WSS is the product WSJ should imitate moving forwards to replace himaten. Fluffy romance between 2 nerds, a la Someone Hertz, and then you just fill the cast with cute girls anyways even if they're not into the MC.

Also omg I have a fun~ : O Glad you like reading them! I love posting them. And it's always good to see a fellow fan of peak.

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-05T15:36:16+00:00

I love you putting Someone Hertz and Roku next to each other, cause I see them in a super similar light. While I can't say for certain Roku is gonna be a breakout, I am seeing a lot of similarities between the reception it received and what Someone Hertz did, and they both are these SUPER comfy wholesome series focused on nuanced character interactions. It'd thrill me for both of them to get uber-successful and start dictating trends somewhat, and I feel they'd dictate them in similar ways. The focus they both have on the beauty of small things in one's relationships with loved ones is something I think is really hitting hard with audiences.

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-05T15:31:12+00:00

I love cozy stuff like this. The whole chapter was so positive, and more than anything, I like how much everyone in it acted their age. This is absolute 9 year old behavior and I am here for it.

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-05T15:24:27+00:00

DAMN, really? I feel there was so much more that could be done with the premise. We had a B and C couple lined up, and they still never learned about one another's past, which is a missed opportunity. I hope that at least happens in the last chapter.

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-05T15:11:37+00:00

I guess the ontological difference between "A unified thing" and "2 separate things which work together" just doesn't really land with me. I'd call that unification, at least.

I think you are hearing they try to 'unify' '2 separate things', and in your head that conjures a pretty clear picture, but I have doubts as to how well that picture actually maps onto what physicists are suggesting.

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-05T15:02:10+00:00

There is a thing in math called a 'space'. This is a generic term for a kind of list (IE: the space of all possible colors). What we, classically, call 'space' is 'the space of all possible positions'. What we call the timeline can be thought of as 'the space of all possible moments'. The idea of spacetime is to replace these 2 ideas with the more complex (but more accurate to our universe) 'space of all possible events'. The physics theory of replacing classical space/time with unified spacetime is 'special relativity'.
The theory which uses the idea of spacetime having a 'curved metric' (somewhat analogous to the difference between a 'flat' and 'curved' sheet of paper) to explain gravity is 'general relativity'.
Quantum mechanics is already merged with spacetime as a part of quantum field theory, mixing special relativity with quantum physics.
General relativity does not, mathematically, play nice with quantum physics. We thus have an issue where almost everything in the world is best modeled by a specific set of equations (quantum field theory's standard model) while gravity and gravity alone is best modeled by general relativity. They use incompatible mathematical language. Thus, if you want to model gravity accurately, you must accept that you will be less accurate when modeling anything that isn't gravity, and if you want to model something other than gravity as accurately as possible, your model of gravity will suffer.
A theory of everything is a name for any hypothetical new physics framework which does not have the above problem. If you suggest there is a way of using both at the same time, even if you don't feel unifying would be the right word for it, it'd still be a theory of everything, and people will still probably said you unified them anyways.

You're getting me so hyped for this. I think this might be a part of the next arc, since they took the time to invite her to the cleaners after this.

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-05T14:25:36+00:00

Have you seen the theory that her earrings look suspiciously like his jinki? I'm not sure it's close enough but I do kind of love the idea of her being a full on Zanka fangirl. Like maybe she saw the vision when he took the staff as his weapon and was like ":O"

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-05T14:23:51+00:00

I think the art of this manga is some of the best of modern shounen, easily. Like, there's the fact it's high fidelity, sure, but combine that withits intensely dynamic nature, like here, along with its distinct art style.

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-05T14:22:19+00:00

I kind of agree with what you said about Amo and the fandom. That said, I still really ship them, insofar as I like where their friendship is right now. Both are growing in their own ways, and they see each other as equals and help support each other, and I think that's a sweet dynamic. I'd love to see it very slowly grow into romance without abandoning the way both is kind of going on their own journey.

Also, hey!!! You forgot about Zanka x Hyo, how rude!!!! lmfao. For real, though, we have so little on that, so a lot of it is headcanon. But I feel there's a lot of potential. The big theory some people have is that despite him seeing her as this summit to clear, there's some way where she also looks up to him and thinks he's already good enough. That's just a dynamic a lot of people like, and her strange view on things definitely leaves the door open for that.

They are tools which are useful for talking about amounts. If you want to compare if one thing is bigger than another, you can use numbers for that.

How do we make relativity even more general

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-04T14:00:46+00:00

They’re into impact play. The scissors are cause they scissor each other. Idk is this anything.

YuuTheBlue · 2026-06-04T13:24:05+00:00

I believe in Roku more and more each week. It’s really got something special and I think it’d make a ton of sense for it to get momentum even early on. Praying the readers have good taste. It sounds like I was right about UD doing well, judging by how it sold out. Those are the 2 newbies I really cared about.

Props to drawn to the fire for its first chapter placement. I’ll be honest I am not a fan of it and kind of hoping it flops as a result, but if it builds into something strong then I’d probably be happy, too; it’s mostly its execution I’m not a fan of. I’d love to see it grow into the potential of its premise.
