  • Is there currently an influx of bots in the Fediverse, or is it just that the usual patriotism is kicking in?

  • Shout out to my broken coworker who brought his crystals in to work one day to fix our negative energy. After carefully placing each stone according to universal leylines of good vibes, extraordinarily pleased with himself, immediately saw me slice through a package and into my fingers. I needed eleven stitches.

  • I'm less enthusiastic about someone who can't cite peer reviewed sources. Your arguments are anecdotal at best.

    Astrophysics on a macro scale can only be predicted within a margin of error. Particle and light physics are less predictable. Source: Already posted them.

  • No, a lack of evidence for determinism is a lack of evidence for determinism.

  • Ever heard the phrase 1+1=3 for high values of 1? Equations "work" because numbers are abstract representations of value we assign.

    We observe particles and forms of radiation we can't explain the origins of or name literally everywhere we look, which is an infinitesimally, incomprehensibly small mote of the universe.

  • It's odd to believe the universe is deterministic when physics experiments have observed particles that exist outside causality. Even the double slit experiment goes against causality, uncertainty goes against causality, even current particle experiments can't prove deterministic causality. The prevailing scientific and philosophical findings are that universal, deterministic causality can't be proved any more than the existence of god.

  • I'd start with Uncertainty: Einstein, Heisenberg, Bohr, and the Struggle for the Soul of Science. You sound like you've probably read A Brief History of Time - but there are edits in later editions and we've learned more since Hawking's death.

    Then: Rethinking Causality in Quantum Mechanics. And: Nothing, put out by New Scientist in 2013 — pretty cool, but doesn't really deal with causality. I just liked that one.

    Anyway, you're arguing in favor of a deterministic universe, but as far as I know with my (limited) understanding, that's more of a philosophical question that can't be proved or disproved. We lack the ability to track every particle to its origin, and the inverse is a negative — and you can't prove something doesn't happen, only it's likelihood.

  • I think you missed my point. The same conditions, even in physics, don't always produce the same result.

  • Haven't read it. The man can't end a story to save his life and his prose is pretty basic, but damn does he have some good lines. He's got this genuine enthusiasm for everything he's saying, especially when he wants to bring in a new concept, and that gets me hooked every time. You can tell he loves his characters.
