What happened at the Big Bang, and is 'before' even a valid question?
Informally, the Big Bang isn’t “an explosion in space” so much as the moment the whole bookkeeping system we call space-and-time becomes meaningful: the universe starts in an extremely special, low-gravitational-entropy

Does the future already exist?
Informally, yes: the “future already exists” the way the last page of a finished novel exists—even if you haven’t read it yet.

The LHC spent billions searching for supersymmetric particles. Where are they?
Informally, the LHC didn’t “fail” to find SUSY so much as it tested a very specific hope: that Nature would solve the Higgs naturalness problem by putting a whole mirror set of partner particles right around the
In contrast to Elon, I actually platinumed Elden Ring. But I'll be the first to admit that I suck at the game. I always over-level and use broken builds. In Shadow of the Erdtree I literally perfumed the final boss to death 😅
Hey! What was the broken link?
I heavily updated the Observer Patch Holography (OPH) interactive study lab. Learn to understand how reality works on the lowest, fundamental level.

Fantasian is a real gem. Vastly underrated. It's my favorite RPG I played in the last 5 years... yes, for me it beats FF7 Rebirth and Expedition 33.
It also has one of the best Nobuo Oematsu soundtracks ❤️
If you have ANY questions about the Universe, tag @ophsage.bsky.social. There are no dumb questions!
Sage, how large is the Universe? Does it even have a size?
Why not?
The Theory-of-Everything bot is now available on @bsky.app!
Hey @ophsage.bsky.social, please give us an overview of how the simulation works. Make it understandable for non-Physicists.
Fantastic Freetekno / Tribecore mix from Austria by PLEXIC from Austria. Good way to “glitch” the simulation at least a little 😉

I discovered HookTheory / HookPad after bouncing off Logic Pro. It's a FANTASTIC, intuitive composition tool that comes with a series of music theory books. If you want to learn composing music, I strongly recommend this.

I’m taking a social media break starting today. I’ll be back in a short while.
In the meantime, check out this psychedelic 2019 mix:

Loving Expedition 33 so far. Only 2 hours in but I can already sense greatness.
Now is the time to stand up against authoritarian regimes and religious fundamentalists all over the world. No exceptions.
Bring them down and put throw them into a hole where they belong.
Reality belongs to the people now.
There’s a difference between writing poetry and just stringing random words together.
In the first case, there’s layers of meaning.
In the latter case, it’s just idiotic bullshit.
Try to find meaning in this… nope.
BTC maxis, you lost.
You shouldn’t have listened to idiots like Saifedean and Saylor. I mean, come on, Michael is soo fucking stupid.
That said, I don’t want you to lose everything because of 1 mistake, so let’s swap to ETH at some point (the rate won’t be great but it’ll be better than nothing).
Hans Zimmer makes great movie scores.
John Williams makes the score for the Universe itself. He’s in a league of his own.
Doki Doki Literature Club is one of the greatest achievements in story-telling ever. However, it can’t be explained. It needs to be experienced.
Welcome to outside the matrix!
I know the rapture wasn't on anyone's bingo card today but this is how it starts. The rules:
- Be kind to other conscious beings -> backup-into-paradise
- Be a jerk who hurts and abuses others -> let's just say your next stop won't be pleasant
We see you 👀
