(202202152) (Sunni(te)) Islam says/claims that:
After Hell was created (as cool & black in color):
It was heated for thousand years & it turned red!
It was heated for another thousand years & it turned white!
It was heated for another thousand years & it turned black again!
But, the modern Black-body Radiation Theory seems to be saying/claiming/predicting that it should/must have stayed white!
I think we need remember that the modern Black-body Radiation Theory is really/actually just a mathematical idealization & it cannot be always true (beyond some temperatures)!
I think/guess (Sunni(te)) Islam version (which is from 7th Century!) is actually correct/true!!!
(&, of course, how structure of Hell could withstand such temperatures?
Maybe that is an implication that a material that can withstand to even such temperatures is really possible?
(For example, depths of planets like Jupiter are thought to contain super-materials like metallic hydrogen etc!))
(Also, according to (Sunni(te)) Islam, Heaven & Hell are far bigger/larger (& no doubt heavier) structures than even our whole universe!
Which implies that structures of such size (& mass) theoretically/physically possible (to exist w/o collapsing (& turning to a Black Hole!))!)
(& of course, God could also be using modified/special-purpose laws of physics in/for special-purpose structures, like Hell & Heaven!!)
(202202163) I think it is interesting that we are living in times when more & more devices/things/objects (like personal computers, smart-phones/watches, appliances, toys etc) are made to talk w/ us!
& (paraphrasing) "Lifeless objects will talk!" actually happens to be one of the well-known future/end-times predictions of (Sunni(te)) Islam (from 7th Century!)!

"Ask Ethan: What does “Grand Unified Theory” mean?"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/ask-ethan-what-62721244
I for 1 think that GUT is yet another long-failed/wrong idea from 20th Century theoretical physics (just like Gravitons, ST, LQG etc), which never created any real progress!
The true "GUT" is uniting QM & Relativity by (mathematically) showing/explaining how the medium of virtual particles of quantum vacuum create spacetime (superfluid) as an emergent property!
(& so explain gravity as just bending of that created spacetime!)
& fortunately, it is already wellknown that spacetime of GR can be explained as a (super)fluid:
From Wikipedia:
"In general relativity, a fluid solution is an exact solution of the Einstein field equation in which the gravitational field is produced entirely by the mass, momentum, and stress density of a fluid."
Then, realize, the problem is actually similar to explaining how water is created by water molecules!
(Actually a much better analogy would be, how air fluid (weather at macro-scale) is created by air (gas) molecules (at micro-scale)!)
(& of course doing that would not be so easy & quite possibly will require so many theoretical physicists working together for some time!)
The only/huge question is (IMHO), theoretical physicists of our time really/actually ever want to MOVE-ON from 20th Century theoretical physics to 21st Century theoretical physics???
(202202196) A generalized method for measuring computer/processor speed/performance:
(Because, MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) measurements are not general enough to compare ALL kinds of computers/processors against each other!)
Define a standard 1-bit processor instruction set & convert each & all instructions of any target processor to sets/groups of those!
(Which could be done by each processor manufacturer and/or by each measurement organization!)
Then, the MIPS measurement for any target computer/processor can be converted to MIPS measurement on the (hypothetical/theoretical) standard 1-bit processor!

"I did a point-counterpoint debate on whether the Multiverse is real!"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/i-did-point-on-62999138
IMHO, there are basically 3 kinds of multiverse ideas:
Parallel quantum realities/universes!
Parallel universes w/ different physical constants!
Serial/cyclic universes!
& I for 1 absolutely have no doubt that none of them are real!
(202202266) Additional comment on the same article:
A totally out-of-subject comment on current Ukraine-Russia Crisis (just in case anyone interested):
IMHO, the root cause of the problem is, Ukraine wants to join NATO (& NATO wants it too!) but Russia thinks it would create a security risk for Russia!
(Imagine if UK wanted/decided to join Warsaw Pact, back in the 80s, for example! USA really would not have any problem w/ that?)
IMHO, the problem would disappear, if just both countries joined NATO together!
I read somewhere that Russia actually wanted to join NATO in the past but USA did not want/allow it!
Why an ex-Soviet Union country like Ukraine joining NATO is OK, but another ex-Soviet Union country like Russia joining NATO is NOT OK?
I think USA insisting on keep treating Russia as the enemy is the real problem here!
Russia actually has quite good relations w/ many NATO member countries, which is a very clear evidence/proof that friendly & greatly beneficial WIN-WIN relations w/ Russia is really/actually possible!
What I would really like to see is, POTUS publicly answering that "If Russia wanted to join NATO together w/ Ukraine, USA would support it or not? & if not then why exactly?"!
(202203093) I think there are some people who (seriously!) think that "the real/actual reason for why God wants people/humans to believe in God is/maybe/probably because that gives God (extra) power/energy"!
(Because I encountered such/that idea many times in the past (including some movies & TV shows)!)
IMHO, that is an utterly ridiculous idea, because imagine that, if you create something out of nothing, how it could give you back more energy than you spent to create it???
Also (IMHO) God already would (need to) have infinite power/energy, if God is (apparently) able to create universes like ours, just like (major) Abrahamic Religions (like Islam) already say!
(202203104) IMHO, having 2 separate parliaments (congress & senate) is keep causing huge problems for USA!
Because, public (voting) support of 2 parties are often very close & often each party has majority in either one of 2 parliaments!
(Not to mention, each party often tries to stop any new bill/law created by the other party, regardless of its benefits for the country!)
Solution (IMHO): Reduce/combine them into a single (large) parliament (somehow)!!
(I think it would be also better, if POTUS & all members of the parliament elected for 5 years (instead of 4) (& w/o any mid-term elections)!)
(I think election day always needs to be a Sunday (& also a national holiday)!)
(I think elections always also need to include an extensive/full set of public referendum questions (to nationally answer/settle all big questions/issues like capital punishment, abortion rights, internet/phone usage privacy, social media (for the underage), facial recognition, street/public cameras, license plate scanners etc)!)
(I think lobbyists/companies (or foreign governments) lobbying/influencing/manipulating any members of the parliament (or any government/military officials) should/must be absolutely banned/illegalized!!)

"Ask Ethan: Can science prove the existence of God?"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/ask-ethan-can-of-63650655
Just some food for thought for anyone interested:
It seems that, according to (major) Abrahamic Religions (at least), God created our world/universe as a testing ground for humanity!
(To show/prove who is really worthy of Heaven or worthless of Hell!)
& if so then, realize, the (huge) question of existence of God should/must NOT have a scientific answer!
God would need to create the world/universe in such a way that people still could argue for either possibility!
Because, otherwise, there would be no choice/test anymore!
(As for "Why God would need to test people? Would not God already know all the answers?":
Realize that, if God sent any people directly to Hell, for example, they could complain to be getting punished for things they did not really/actually do!)
I had also read about an idea called "Problem Of Evil":
"If God exists then God should/must be evil because our world is full of evil!"
But how allowing bad people to do bad actions (& good people to do good actions) (using their free will) makes God bad, if God will provide justice to all in the end?
(What God was supposed to do to be not evil then?
Constantly police the world w/ an army of angels to prevent bad actions of bad people (against their free will)?
& allow them all into Heaven (together w/ good people) in the end too (since they did not do any bad actions)?)
(202203152) According to Islam, Jesus spoke as a baby & gave life to a bird made of mud!
& it seems that Christians think those are just random miracles which do not make any sense!
But here is the question:
If Jesus did not spoke as a baby to the crowd of people who were accusing Mary to commit adultery (& explained that he was a prophet born w/o father as a miracle of God!), what/who else could really save Mary (& Jesus too!?) from getting killed/executed?
& could it be that the reason Jesus gave life to a bird made of mud to prove to some people (who refuse/reject) that God creating Adam from mud & later giving life to him (how) was really/actually possible?
