The Golden rule in action; the one with the gold makes the rules.

"We need bigger buckets, we're sinking too fast!"

"So what youre saying is, we need to empty the boat?"

"OBVIOUSLY"

*sparta kicks bailer from the boat

"That should do it, and with the weight we cut, we can drill more holes!"

I hate how long it took me to find the title of the movie, its called "The Substance" for everyone else.

Now if they can just spread that to the rest of Nintendo...

Wouldnt PoF (Power over Fiber) be neat? Im imagining a photoelectric circuit integrated into the receiving devices optical sensor. Though i imagine we're a LONG way out from that sort of efficiency in transferring power via light.

Thanks for sharing the picture, i should have done that 😅

Surprised to see nobody has mentioned Banksy's "Mother and Anarchist", this is pretty close to it.

Thank you very much for the thought out explanation, i think im beginning to grasp the concept. To summarize to make sure:

• accelerating mass causes gravitational waves
• two bodies orbiting eachother are also accelerating towards eachother by virtue of centripetal force.
• the energy to generate this wave is stripped directly from the kinetic energy of the system, causing the orbit to decay.

So the comparison to atoms releasing EM energy is a bit more apt then I initially thought. Thanks again!

The passage of time is always consistent for the observer, in that a clock next to them will always tick at the same interval. The tidal wave planet from Interstellar is a good example of this, in that only a short time had elapsed for the people on the surface, but back home on earth over 20 years went by. -Edited, didnt explain correcty the first time

Could you explain what you mean by "emitting gravitational radiation"? Gravity is how we perceive distortions in spacetime, the strength of which being determined by the mass of the objects. I understand that orbits can "decay", but that is not the same as radioactive decay.

I've come to realize that everyone is a product of their environment, in both setting and the human body that your conciousness resides in. You might be saying, "duh, you big dumb idiot", but after REALLY absorbing the concept, I came to realize that people only ever do what they're "programmed" to do. Its really helped me exercise empathy and reduce my level of frustration towards the people I encounter as I go through life. It's also helped me be more introspective and suss out the origins of my own behaviors and ways of thinking.
