Zeno usually goes out biking in those situations.

Gonna get a rain coat one of these days.

I learned 6.2 DOES have less lag than 6.1

And I also learned that Christopher Nolan's movies are the best of cinema IMO.

Mission accomplished.

Zeno learned how bad 'The Wicker Man' really is. Best comedy ever.

Never seen that movie.

I learned that the third form of electrical force is radiation pressure, the other two which I knew, where electric and magnetic fields. The radiation pressure might be why we have gravity. The math works out scary well, with the factor you end up off in calculations fitting perfectly into a common quantum physics constant. Now if I could just come up with or find a reasonable link for strong forces I would have a theoretical view of a unified theory.

That's interesting.
Apparently when you work in 4D space (math) and shoehorn in EM-Force equations in for the 4th the magic happens. If not for my trouble using Einstein's equations for gravity I would have this worked out myself and be able to say "definitely" rather than just "apparently". Only what, 10 people on the planet truly understand what Einstein has written, and non truly understand quantum physics.

Interestingly, time is *not* the 4th dimension in a literal sense, as theoretically the future and past do not exist, only the present. Further confused by the fact that all we are able to perceive is the past. By the time the light makes it to your eyes or the feeling to your brain, the event has passed and you are only experiencing the shadow. If that is true, time is not truly a 'dimension' as it cannot be traversable. Furthermore, time seems to be truly measured by the expansion of the universe. Perhaps, if you could reverse the movement of galaxies, maybe all of them, time would go 'backwards', but it would be universe wide and as per the above statement, would not in fact cause the 'past' to reoccur.

Additional interesting bits, it was either atoms or electrons, or maybe subatomic particles, I forget which, cannot exist without being bombarded by waves from the future. If you do not account for what will happen, they explode. This means that somehow, the future is effecting the present, even though it does not yet exist.

And furthermore, if the 'god particle' Higgs boson particle does exist, and it gives mass to all matter, what gives it mass? Ask a particle physicist, they will look at your dumbfounded.
