  1. The fact that the Dyson Sphere was actually inspired by a sci-fi novel goes to show that its not the knowledge that inspires ideas, its the imagination. To me that's absolutely beautiful.

  2. How would you turn on the detector just before the particle hit the detector? Wouldn't you have to perform that action faster than speed of light for it to actually work?

  3. Earth is really unlucky to not have its own rings. Imagine living on Saturn and looking up the sky to witness the rings stroke through the sky in a wonder that can't be described as anything but a cosmic masterpiece.

  4. Finally a game dev (I assume)! This exactly sounds like an optimisation rather than property.

  5.  @jmc22475  If the future is predetermined, then whats point of probability?

  6.  @1112viggo  I agree. Even I have thought of this myself from time to time. Even though we call it fantasy, imagination or fiction, in the end, our ideas will always be limited by the frontier of knowledge. It's near impossible for us to comprehend on what level a civilization far ahead of us could think on. What if they can compress the stars so it's the size of a football, what if instead of harnessing more and more energy they optimize their technology such that their energy consumption is close to zero. It's almost scary because it reminds us how little we know. We are like ants in search of giants.

  7. This always hurts my brain to imagine. Because a photon cannot experience time, it can be everywhere at all times. Imagine that.

  8. ​ @Casual93 He literally stated that this is a three-sigma detection. How is that too sensationalist.

  9. Well... How do you explain writing this comment then? From the neurons firing in your brain due to the urge to write this comment, to the electricity running on your computer, all function because they experience time. If time didn't exist this shouldn't be possible. Our understanding may be incomplete but everything we know so far about the universe tells us that time exists.

  10.  @Zepher48  Its probably way closer to 0 than it is to 1

  11. Interesting thought experiment. I assume this would result in both patterns on final detector? Wave pattern from the slit with no detector and dot pattern from slit with a detector?

  12. 10:30 Millisecond pulsar means the pulsar can complete one rotation in a few milliseconds, not that it can rotate a million times in a second. If it can rotate a million times per second it would mean its surface is moving faster than the speed of light.

  13. That is giving RTX too much credit. RTX is one of the techniques which actually tries to mimic real light although at a much smaller scale and with limited sources of light.

  14. Humankind is cursed. We destroy everything we touch.

  15. Then wouldn't they bounce of the detectors as well, creating a wave pattern even in the presence of detectors.

  16. The opposite, the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time, and vice versa.

  17. I am no scientist Just as fun thought experiment, one explanation I have come up with is that light always travels at c where the time dilation is at maximum, that means it doesn't not experience time in a traditional sense. Because of this it doesn't need to travel backward or forward in time to know the information of detectors. For light it just knows everything all the time.

  18.  @Elkysium  But it is a construct that fits well into everything. So we may not understand it fully but we understand it well enough to form a good basis.

  19. The perfect time

  20. Yes of course, general relativity and special relativity is by far our best explanation of the universe. It has been tested thoroughly and has held the test of time (pun intended). However, we know that this theory is incomplete because it fails to describe everything. Like it falls apart around extreme gravity regimes of black holes, or near quantum scales. So Einstein was definitely onto something, but he just couldn't reach the end of it.

  21.  @frogray7929  Theoretically an observer in the 4th spatial dimension can observe at 3D quantum scale with infinite precision.
