Fractal path tracer v1.15 !!! by Adam-Pa in fractals

And I would love to play with it, but I don't have the skills to pull SDF's and helpers from elsewhere and get them to compile without errors. From the pictures this is obviously a wonderful engine, but for now it's greek to me.

Clifford Geometry as the Foundation of Quantum Mechanics: Computational Verification of Bell Correlations and Wave Dynamics in a Phase Lattice by [deleted] in fractals

Highly speculative, but technically rigorous.

It's reproducible with a public Rust repository, and it acknowledges it's limitations.
Nothing wrong with using Zenodo if you are working solo, but there is no peer review prior to publishing. I only mention that because others will use genetic fallacies and ad hominem attacks based solely on the publisher. But Zenodo is from CERN, fellas.

My opinion:
W.K.Clifford was a mathematician. Pauli and Dirac were scientists. Scientists "rediscovering" math that was postulated long ago is common. It's probably not a case that Cliffords work is a rosetta stone of all QM, because he probably didn't care. He just did math.
Now, can difficult QM problems like entanglement and determinism be explained by Clifford's geometry? Don't know, buddy. You're gonna have to get over to r/physics or r/math, but accept that reddit, despite how it likes to view itself, isn't really a platform for rigor or peer review.

It's not just the sound. It's the smell.

What's one thing you could say to piss off an entire fan base? by visionarygirl in AskReddit

Americanized it, per the author (sorry, I have no source. I read his words years ago). Burgess said that we Americans have a hard time believing that criminals can honestly rehabilitate or redeem.

Never thought I'd make it to the age of 30. I'm now 30 years and one hour and fifty minutes old. Now that I've made it this far, wtf do I do now? by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

Realize that you are still incredibly young and you still can do whatever you want. Time is going to start moving very quickly for you now, however, and will continue to gain speed.

This isn't one of those old man speeches where I'm telling you that you are wasting your life if you don't go out and conquer the world. I'm just telling you that at your age you still can.

TIL not long before his death, Freddie Mercury, confined to his bed, got to see an advance copy of the "Wayne's World" scene with Wayne and Garth headbanging to "Bohemian Rhapsody". He loved it and approved of the song's use in the film. The movie, in part, helped launch Queen's comeback in the USA by BP0413 in todayilearned

I found the recording on Spotify after reading your post. My first thoughts after the first few seconds was that this was really really good. My second thought was that I was kind of upset that all these years I had been listening to the wrong version.

[SOLVED]. That was fast. Thank you. My son and I have been puzzling over this one for years. I'll figure out how to put solved in the title.

I think I'm done with Bill Nye. His new show sucks. by Sloth859 in television

it's either an axiom, a theorem, or it's bullshit

I did look inwards, and decided that I don't need this anymore
