  • uhm, so, this is just my uneducated ass talking, but i’m pretty sure that there’s no particles that make up ordinary matter below the planck length

    and i’m saying this because as you split stuff up, you kinda expect the mass of the constituent elements be smaller than the mass of the total. so if you have smaller mass, you have larger uncertainty. and i think when we talk about the “diameter” of subatomic particles, what we really mean, is the uncertainty of its wave function. and that ironically gets larger when you look at smaller particles.




  • I understood perfectly in that moment what Edgar Mitchell meant by an “instant global consciousness”, and how we would likely never achieve this state of enlightenment among enough individuals to matter.

    consciousness is like a river, it becomes turbulent when things start flowing quickly enough. the abrasive property of living in a society full of change is ironically what makes it difficult to relate to other people’s experience, as it is quite difficult to see the actions in another train’s wagons when the relative movement is too great.
