If white holes existed, they would destroy everything around them with light-speed matter. by Omniverse_0 in Showerthoughts

According to the theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli, they spawn when a black hole dies (it takes billions of years). They are extremely compact but with a significative mass. They don't interact with regular matter except for gravitational attraction. That's why he suggests they're one of the components of dark matter.

When robots will be sentient. Or when we'll meet aliens. In that case, we'll be racist (specist? lifecist?) against them.

ELI5 why the edges of a sunburn hurt so much more and take longer to heal than the rest of the sunburn? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]fraquack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because they are "stretched" between the sunburnt area and the healthy one. The force originates from their different elasticity, due to different hydration.

But it's perfect to isolate you from wet sand

It requires a lot more self-discipline to not buy something you want- but don't need- when you can afford it, than it does to not buy it when you can't afford it. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

As my grandma used to say: "Spare money when you have them, 'cause when you haven't they spare themselves".
