(202112057) The secret of long lasting marriages:
Many times I had read news/opinions saying/claiming modern marriages last much less than marriages of old times (in general)!
Of course, there can be many different reasons for any marriage to end, but what maybe the biggest/main reason?
I think, it is "irreconcilable differences" & its root cause is the lack of certainty/clarity of leadership in modern marriages!
Any marriage would naturally require endless/countless big/important decisions & often there would be disagreements/conflicts on them!
& so, IMHO, it would be extremely important for people to decide/agree on "Who will be the head of household (making the final decisions on all disagreements/conflicts)?", BEFORE getting married!
Because, otherwise, each disagreement/conflict would often end in a way that is quite unsatisfactory for one/both side(s) & overtime their bad/harmful effects would be keep accumulating/increasing!
(& so, IMHO, the biggest/main reason for marriages of old times lasted longer, was because "the head of household" was always clear, right from the beginning, unlike in modern times!)

(& so, IMHO, the biggest/main reason for marriages of old times lasted longer, was because "the head of household" was always clear, right from the beginning, unlike in modern times!)
(Also, (IMHO) people who are getting married, first & foremost, should/must agree that either side will be absolutely free to end the marriage, anytime they want, w/o being required to explain why & regardless of local divorce laws!)
(Some people may say/ask "isn't such a marriage would be a form of slavery"?:
Then, I would say/ask "how it is slavery, if done voluntarily upon agreement & can be ended anytime"? Marriages of old times were definitely NOT slavery!
Of course, it is always possible that people in a marriage can change their minds on leadership later (after experiencing some bad/unsatisfactory decisions/results, for example)!
Then, of course, "the head of household" would need to be re-decided! & the marriage should/must end peacefully/voluntarily, if there is no agreement possible!)
(& IMHO it would be really/extremely good idea to make (standard) prenuptial/premarital agreements mandatory by law!)

"What if Einstein never existed?"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/what-if-einstein-59631097
IMHO, thinking that revolutions in physics would still happen, even w/o true geniuses (like Galileo, Newton, Einstein) is a bit naive!
For example, isn't it really true that many false physics ideas from Ancient Greek times thought to be "obviously true" for more than a thousand years?
Are we realizing that how hard it really was for Galileo's or Einstein's true ideas to be accepted by "The Establishment"?
The way I see it, revolutions in physics only happen when there are very strong revolutionary leaders!
Otherwise, false ideas (like String Theory) take over the whole world of physics (& become extremely hard to defeat!) all the while true ideas (like emergent superfluid spacetime) stay on the fringes!!

"The Casimir effect isn’t equivalent to a warp bubble, but could, in principle, be used to warp space in the negative fashion that would be needed to create one.":
Producing attracting/repelling Casimir Force (which is experimentally proven to be possible!) surely means creating positive/negative spacetime curvature!
I always thought that spacetime is a superfluid emergent property created by medium of virtual particles of quantum vacuum everywhere!
So, I think producing Casimir Force is actually truly equivalent of creating an artificial gravitational field!

https://www.patreon.com/posts/ask-ethan-are-59743071
(I think existence of galaxies w/o DM is actually bad for the idea of DM being made of any kind of old/new particle!)
IMHO, actually the key to solving DM mystery is analyzing/uncovering true physical/geometric structure of the real Cosmic Web!
I had seen some old articles from the 80s saying/claiming that Cosmic Web appears to be made of bubbles (where galaxies located on the surfaces of those bubbles)!
But the modern pictures of Cosmic Web created using computer simulations do not look like made of bubbles at all!
(I think because they are created based on gravitational collapse assumption (which is actually wrong!)!)
So which one is the true physical/geometric structure of the real Cosmic Web?
Why that is really important for solving the DM puzzle?:
Imagine that if spacetime was a superfluid & the effect of incoming Dark Energy was bubbling that superfluid!
(Similar to the surface of a boiling soup or inside of a rising dough!)
Then, realize, we would get a Cosmic Web made of bubbles & most galaxies would be located on the surfaces of those bubbles (withing denser spacetime superfluid!)!
& naturally, there would be also a small percentage of galaxies which are located away from those bubble surfaces & would look like DM free galaxies to us!
(& there would be also galaxies located in (large) bubble intersections, which would look like (unexpectedly!) having too much DM to us!)

I fully support JWST but I also think space-based astronomy needs to move away from just keep trying to build bigger & bigger telescopes (at astronomical cost & huge risk)!
How?:
By doing R&D to design/create arrays/networks of (very) small (CubeSat) telescopes that work as a single (very) large telescope (which can be extended over time to larger & larger sizes, if needed/wanted!)!
(I also think that ultimate future of (optical) ground/space telescopes is just arrays of thin/flat panels!)

(202112164) 3 possibilities for space-based telescopes made of multiple satellites:
1: Multiple satellites flying in tandem!
2: Multiple satellites joined together into a honeycomb structure!
3: Multiple satellites in polar orbits creating a global grid!
(Imagine that, any given time, a bunch of the satellites in one side/part of Earth assigned to observe a certain object!
Each satellite is keep switching between assignments, as it keep moving over different locations on Earth!)

(For example, in all rental apartments I ever lived, the situation was that only USPS delivery workers had keys to the apartment buildings & their mail boxes! & for large packages, they would leave notifications to pick-up anytime later, from the local post office!)

& so, it is extremely important that ALL EVs should/must have add-on option (by law!?) for including a ((bio)diesel/(bio)fuel) flex-fuel (gas-turbine!?) auto-recharger/range-extender, to make them "backward-compatible" w/ ICE vehicles (to really enable full/wide-scale adoption of EVs)!

I think it is also the reason for why our universe/reality is so extremely (but not perfectly) mathematical (which is something that surprised many great scientists)!
(& "not perfectly" because, for example, 0D points (singularities) or 1D ring singularities (or strings etc) do not physically exist & fields/spacetime are not really continuous (IMHO)!)

"This is why physicists suspect the Multiverse very likely exists"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/this-is-why-very-60492881
The idea of multiverse is really closely related to Anthropic Principle (which is the proposed solution for Fine-tuning Problem)!
& I think there is actually a huge problem w/ it!:
Our universe & world do not simply/just have necessary conditions for life & humanity to exist, but actually have absolutely the perfect conditions for them!
Our universe & world extremely easily could have conditions for life & humanity to barely exist!
Realize that, probability for life & humanity to barely exist, would actually be vastly/extremely/incomparably greater than probability for life & humanity to perfectly exist!
Imagine that, if the situation really is (as very strongly appears to be!), a single planet in a vast universe & both the universe & the planet have absolutely the perfect conditions for life & humanity to exist, then, is it still really logical/reasonable to think that it is just because of dumb luck?
At least to me, the answer is definitely no!!

IMHO, it is quite/extremely likely that there are no new particles until Planck Scale!
