A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
Posts must be original/unique

My point is: How can you be so sure it has been dismissed?

Models that don't work should be dismissed. If you have a model for shrinkage that does work it should not be dismissed.

It appears, the SM doesn’t disagree with shrinkage at all.

Yup, pretty much.

But why does it seem your mind being blown by this idea? Maybe be because you didn’t consider us being sucked in anywhere? If that’s the case, here’s why didn’t you consider this yet: I didn’t yet post my post despite the probability of not having a new thought.

Sorry, I'm not following. My mind is definitly NOT blown and black holes don't "suck in" things. That's a common misconception. And I really don't know what you're trying to say with the sentences after that.

Your unfriendliness could just have hurt a kid’s interest into space. Remember that.

I'm sorry that you think I was unfriendly.

But this a community for people that smoked too much weed to saything dumb things that sound clever when you don't think about them too much.

If there is actual kids around that are interested in space theneven more important that unscientific non-sense gets called out.

Quite interesting article, you should read it.

But the TL;DR here is that so far all "shrinking gravity" models had major flaws and didn't work. And the last idea of perfeclty scaling atoms is unobservable, so really more of a thought expriment than an actual model.
