Once you have the idea of thinking of space-time as a unified four-dimensional continuum, you can start asking questions about its shape. Is space-time flat or curved, static or dynamic, finite or infinite? Minkowski space-time is flat, static and infinite. Einstein worked for a decade to understand how the force of gravity could be incorporated into his theory. His eventual breakthrough was to realize that space-time could be dynamic and curved, and that the effects of that curvature are what you and I experience as “gravity.” The fruits of this inspiration are what we now call general relativity.So special relativity is the theory of a fixed, flat space-time, without gravity; general relativity is the theory of dynamic space-time, in which curvature gives rise to gravity. Both count as “classical” theories even though they replace some of the principles of Newtonian mechanics. To physicists, classical doesn’t mean “non-relativistic”; it means “non-quantum.” All the principles of classical physics are fully intact in the relativistic context. We should be willing to let go of our pre-relativity fondness for the separateness of space and time, and allow them to dissolve into the unified arena of space-time. The best way to get there is to think even more carefully about what we mean by “time.” And the best way to do that is to hark back, once again, to how we think about space.Consider two locations in space, such as your home and your favorite restaurant. What is the distance between them? Well, that depends, you immediately think. There is the distance “as the crow flies,” if we could imagine taking a perfectly straight-line path between the two points. But there is also the distance you would travel on a real-world journey, where perhaps you are limited to taking public streets and sidewalks, avoiding buildings and other obstacles along the way. The route you take is always going to be longer than the distance as the crow flies, rosalina

peach reposting another old drawing (2023) because I'm too afraid to turn on my tablet and draw something new 😓

Princess Peach and Princess Zelda, colored as their original NES sprites, like that trend from like 6 months ago, and I put Zelda there too. . . . . you have to enter into the great unknown, and I being the one who knowns it, will be coming after you. tickling your toes eblehbleh THE GONGOOZLER THE GONGOOZLER you must face your fears... plummet deep into the sea. no one will ever find you if you are too deep into the sea... THE GONGOOZLER will heeeeeeeehhhh swim up to you, take you by the toes, and bring you- down down down to the frothy depths THE GONGOOZLER THE GONGOOZLER THE GONGOOZLER

Late to trends as usual
