The two that lie in a shape are part of the first “w”

Hehe, that’s some top level spaghetti. Remember, space is cheap! It’s easier to keep it nice when there’s plenty of space around everything.

Fascinating. There’s an achievement for getting all other achievements, which some people have, but as you say nobody has the question marks. I wonder what that is about.

What achievements can’t be achieved yet?

Happy to hear you’re enjoying the work of talented scientists!

As a non-layman, there isn’t any observations or theories that I know or that would support your cool idea, but as you say, we can always let the mind wander.

That’s a pretty outlandish idea, is there any reason why that would be the case?

I don’t think dark matter as a placeholder is accurate - it’s not some fully unexplained phenomenon, it’s matter with mass that doesn’t seem to interact with light.

From its own cover,

It is written by experimental physicists and aimed to provide the interested amateur with a bridge from undergraduate physics to quantum field theory. The imagined reader is a gifted amateur possessing a curious and adaptable mind looking to be told an entertaining and intellectually stimulating story, but who will not feel patronized if a few mathematical niceties are spelled out in detail.

This might sound pretty casual, but it gets into all the math of it, with an aim at practical use.

The book “Quantum field theory for the gifted amateur” is really good. It’s helped me understand quantum fields a lot better, and I work with quantum mechanics every day.

They might very well be Danish, but that does not make the criticism legitimate.

Except it’s nonsense - African swine fever has never been found in Denmark, and the fence they’re talking about is like 1,5 meters high, so only effective against animals, not people.

Canada is not a Euro-zone country.

And also, Ireland is south of Denmark.

It’s for sure not the same as BioShock, with traversal and exploration the biggest difference, but it has similar vibes, at least as far as I have played. And at least in comparison with Dishonored.

You’re (mostly) alone in a giant, isolated station where a terrible disaster has happened, and must inject yourself with magic goo to be able to handle it’s warped former inhabitants. There’s definitely more of a stealth vibe than in Bioshock, but the feeling was similar for me.

In contrast, Dishonored takes place all over a crowded city with regular interactions between NPC’s which you can manipulate from the shadows. Most enemies can be killed or KO’d very straightforwardly, and there’s just much more of a revenge power fantasy about it.

But I digress. I can understand the comparisons to Dishonored, they just aren’t that similar in my mind.

Same. Prey feels much more related to Bioshock than Dishonored to me. Never could get into Bioshock.

Sorry about your issues, I never meant to diminish them. I was genuinely curious about how one can become so limited in ones protein intake, but clearly worded my question poorly.

Thanks, I’ll try to be mindful of that! English isn’t my first language, so there is surely some nuance to be learned.

Thanks, hadn’t heard about that before.

Sorry, I was trying to ask a genuine question, I didn’t mean to come across in a negative way.

I’d still be very interested in the answer.

I’m not able to obtain enough protein without meat

How does that work? Isn’t egg white pure protein? Surely eating a pile of boiled eggs would give you the same amount of protein as a steak, not counting stuff like cheese and legumes.

What is this black magic?? How are these symbols a valid domain name???

The “message” does not have any local effect on reality - when you measure your particle, you have no way of figuring out if its partner was already measured elsewhere. The effect it does have is on the global state, maintaining the correlation that was encoded from the start.

If you write up the density matrix for the system before and after measurement of one of the particles, you can see that while the density matrix changes, it does not change in a way one can measure.

What I will concede is that before the first measurement the global state is |00>+|11>, afterwards it is |00> or |11>. This projection appears to happen instantaneously, no matter the distance, which is indeed faster than light.

But calling the wave function collapse a signal or a message or a transfer of information is misleading, I would say. In your example, we know that the initial state is |00>+|11>, and that the result of the first measurement is then, say, 1. Then no further information is required to know that the other measurement will result in 1. No messages required, no hidden variables, simply the process of elimination.

I would like to say that this is indeed a confusing subject, but that the math is clear, and that I am arguing what is my impression of the mainstream view in the field.
