  • Except the big bang is the start of both space and time, so nothing in the universe could be older than the universe because there’s no time to speak of (not to mention the space for it to exist).

    The moment after the big bang is called the Planck epoch. I just learned this from Wikipedia “In this stage, the characteristic scale length of the universe was the Planck length, 1.6×10−35 m, and consequently had a temperature of approximately 1032 degrees Celsius. Even the very concept of a particle breaks down in these conditions. A proper understanding of this period awaits the development of a theory of quantum gravity.”. I don’t really understand this, but it seems the early universe wasn’t conducive to particles. Even if it was, they wouldn’t be atoms. They’d just be quarks.

    All of our physics breaks down at the singularity before the big bang, so assuming quarks that are around today existed then is just that, an assumption.













  • Except now the pigs encouraged to provide more of whatever he’s selling in the future, ensuring you’ll always have access. More importantly though, everyone else sees the high return on investment and wants to get in on the action. The pig can try to stop them, but short of government interference (at which point he’s not a capitalist) he won’t succeed for long.

    Eventually they’ll compete and offer quality and novel services for reasonable prices. They’ll still be making high return on investments, but if you’re paying it means that this thing is important, and a high roi ensure its continued production.

    The alternative is you’re forced to pay through taxes, you only get one option, and there’s little to no incentive to provide a quality good or service at all.


  • To be clear, I don’t hold the opinions that I’m talking about, it’s just that they seem to be internally consistent and have an identifiable origin.

    If you strongly identify with your race or culture, and another race or culture threatens to conflict with, up-end, or destroy it, it makes sense to dislike/distrust that second race or culture. That’s what some people could perceive Mexicans or black people to be doing.

    I’m sorry if I misjudged, but it does feel weird. The only thing that makes Israel unique (including any human rights violations, everyone does that) is its ties to Judaism. I just don’t know what either Isreal or jews did to warrant a meme like this when so many like them never get memes made of them.
