You can't go faster than light because time and space are basically the same thing, and you're always moving through both of them together at a constant rate.
When you stand still, you move only through time, at the top speed of one second per second.
When you start moving through space, your speed doesn't change, only your direction. (You can visualize it as an arrow showing your speed that stays the same length, but rotates in a coordinate system from the time axis towards the perpendicular space axis.) So the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time.
At light speed, you're moving only through space. Your movement through time is zero, so time stops for you.
Going faster through space would mean going back in time, which would break causality.

Causality is overrated. I'd be ok if we broke it.

What would we replace it with? The raw chaos of the universe in its unformed state?

[–] mech@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago

But Causality isn't OK with that.

To be fair, what even is "standing still"? I'm sitting in a chair in a spaceship made out of almost all the elements and water traveling around 220km/s relative to Sagittarius A.

[–] mech@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago

It's always in relation to a frame of reference.
Compared to earth, you're standing still, so your time passes at the same rate as earth time.
Compared to Sagittarius A, you're moving through space, so your time passes slower than that of Sagittarius A.

Socrates only knows enough to know that he doesn't know anything.

The reason the Oracle of Apollo said "No man is wiser than Socrates" is because no man is wise, and Socrates is only wise enough to know himself to be a fool.

I’ve learned a few things about some stuff to the point where I can definitely say I have some experience with them.

[–] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Security by obscurity does not work, because people are only so creative up to a point. Hence, there are only handful of configurations for the attacker to try out.

This contrasts to e.g. 128-bit secure encryption, which involves trying 2^128 times to break it - which is a number with whopping 38 zeros. It takes 10^22 years to break it with trying at 1GHz rate. It is simply incomparable, and adding a few bits of security by obscure combination is simply not worth it.

Yet, so many people and organizations seem to prefer obscurity to actual security.

I know a dog called mister Dingleberry. Mister DingleBerry likes to dingle his berries. In dingling his berries he takes such delight, if he could he’d dingle his berries day and night.

One time, I remember it well, he dingled his berries so hard, he tripped over them and fell.

In dingling his berries he takes such glee, they say he dingles his berries mercilessly.

He dingles and dangles his berries berry hard. One time he got completely dingleburried under em and let out a fart.

The end.

The real secret to the most delicious sauces you've ever tasted is one anchovy fillet chopped into paste and simmered into the sauce, for every litre/quart of sauce you are making.

[–] GreenShimada@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

It's why the Romans didn't use salt as a condiment, but fish sauce. The umami+salt is different and objectively better.

[–] SirActionSack@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And you can get 90% of the effect/taste by just adding more salt.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

MSG, yes, kindof. Just adding normal table salt will only give about 50% of the effect of the umami punch that anchovies provide. Possibly less, and it's far too easy to add too much salt.

Fun fact: for a system of differential equations to have a unique global solution, you only need the vector field to be continuous in time and Lipschitz continuous in the state space.

You can clean cooking pans and pots by heating them up and then pouring water on them. As the water boils it pulls all the stuck particles off with little to no scrubbing.

You can also make a nice sauce if you use wine or some kind of stock.

I know how to write "Shauwn"

What kind of experience are you talking about? Maybe I'm a candidate for having it. I dunno.

[–] SoloCritical@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You can test if a 9 volt battery is good or not by touching the 2 prongs on the end to your tongue. You’ll know if it has juice or not.

A basic AAA battery has enough amperage to kill a human without the ohmage that the skin provides.

One time a guy got curious and poked himself with copper wires so they would be in direct contact with his electrolyte-filled blood. Those wires were attached to a 1.5v battery, and he electrocuted himself and died.

[–] mech@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago

You can do the same with any two wires to test if they're live.
Depending on the voltage, either you'll know, or the people around you will.
