  1. On FTL and causality: add new time. Light vortices look a lot like a light cone on a time-space diagram to me.

    Do photons have spin...? Long Covid sucks.

    While we all live in a money-obsessed hellscape, nothing needs "utility" to be worth testing or knowing.

  6. But yeah, I am confused about the polaritons. 
    (Polaritrons? I'm not hearing stuff / processing audio precisely, lately. ) Light has a shape? Or, like, a shape in time? Cuz that -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 image looks a lot like a light cone on a time-space diagram. To me, at least. The things with the light at diagonal lines in space.

    Wait. Spin? Do photons have spin? I'm gonna get a used copy of my uni textbook off someone and try to remember anything. Yaaay Long Covid! (Twice, Doubled, or Squared! Per your preference.)

  9. On how faster-than-light info would affect (our understanding of) causality: "And then nothing makes sense anymore." Since when has science stopped testing things that seemed "unintuitive" on the first pass? 
    Wouldn't that just sort itself out, and then we'd make new inferences to test? Cuz it sounds like an additional dimension of time would be useful here. Which... is probably a meme. "Just add a new dimension!" Ok yeah, but what if we did tho. (Eddie Woo intensifies.)

  10. We are mundane and biological.
    We are gross and physical.
    We are erratic and chemical.

    We are beauty in math/s from minima-bound graphs.
    We are dull and prosidical, sharper mit flaws a'full.
    Cores of a corps, in course of a gull,
    Not crows but stroll in a droll sort of form.

    Encircle no pleading and suffuse your meaning to make plain your greeting: unfanciful fleeting as when now we live.

    Concern yet afford to fear none aboard nor differ them shored. Let thus be adored!
    And when we are not: let strain have forgot, rage unfair not wrought, and druthers yet taught.

    Your pain and your rage and your fear and your shame,
    your worries, woes, injury, illnesses plain:
    Feel and let fall, befell any pall
    by knowing or awe. (Be who Young!You sought.)

    Your choices are yours of what will come forth.
    (Now wait for commenters' witty retort!)

  11. I say:

    1. handwashing facilities at every public building entrance, including malls;

    2. less-sensory demanding / muffling respirators;

    3. some kind of cyberpunk glove manufacturing technique; and

    4. air purifiers in schools, libraries, offices, malls, and on public transport. (Because laboratories should already have this!)
