(202207085) It is already wellknown that sugar content percentage of sweet snacks in USA is much higher than all(?) other countries!
I think excessive sugar kills/reduces taste/enjoyment & no doubt it also causes bad health effects, especially on children!
& so, IMHO, USA Federal Government needs to greatly reduce sugar content percentage limits for all sweet snacks sold in USA!!

(202207096) I think most/all animals commonly/widely get extremely bad/harsh/unethical treatment in some countries (like China & Japan & Spain, for example) & that is a huge embarrassment for whole humanity!
(I think only worse times of humanity were probably human sacrifices of Middle/South America in the past which very thankfully eventually ended!)
I think humanity desperately needs a solution, such as a global/international agreement!
An agreement that provides basic rights to all wild/domestic animals & sets general rules to end/prevent all (un)known types of animal mistreatment!
As a part of the agreement, signing countries should/must promise to always cut/reduce all their trade w/ all non-signing countries (as much as they can do)!

(202207096) How I justify to myself being a non-practicing (Sunni(te)) Muslim, even though 5-times daily prayers & fasting thru Islamic Month of Ramadan, for example, are mandatory in (Sunni(te)) Islam?:
(Also, for example, I have big collections of music/songs, even though (AFAIK) all forms of music/singing/dancing are forbidden according to (Sunni(te)) Islam!)
First of all, according to (Sunni(te)) Islam, committing any kind of sin do NOT make a Muslim turn into a non-Muslim!
Secondly, (Sunni(te)) Islam clearly implies that possibility/severity of punishment for sins would get lower & lower, as temptations & ethical/moral corruptions get stronger & stronger over-time, as humanity is keep moving closer & closer to its end times!

(202207107) The Islamic "Allegory Of The Cave":
(Sunni(te)) Islam clearly implies that life is test, designed/done by (The) God, to show/prove who is worthty of Heaven or worthless of Hell!
& I think, in "One Thousand and One Nights (The Arabian Nights)" tale of "Aladdin's Wonderful Lamp", "the cave test" is actually can be seen as an allegory/analogy for "The Islamic (Real) Life Test" that each human/person/Muslim goes thru!
In the beginning of the cave, there are the cheapest gold/jewellery/gemstones laying around, as temptation/trial!
As the one resists/refuses taking each piece of gold/jewellery/gemstone & continues walking deeper & deeper into the cave, one encounters more & more expensive pieces of gold/jewellery/gemstone!
The end prize of the test is the lamp w/ the whish-granting jinn/genie inside!
Of course, "The Islamic (Real) Life Test" is not just simply one temptation after another (obviously) but also one trouble to deal w/ after another!
But it is still a pretty similar test to "the cave test", IMHO!
Let's also realize that "The Islamic (Real) Life Test" is actually harder than "the cave test"!
But also, the end prize of "The Islamic (Real) Life Test" is actually way-better than "the cave test"!
Because, according to (Sunni(te)) Islam, (The) God will grant (individual) wishes of The People Of Heaven, each & every week!!

(202207107) IMHO, (USA) DMV practice of still requiring stickers to be manually placed on vehicle license plates needs to be ended!
Because, not just manually placing/replacing those stickers every year is an endless hassle but they are also sometimes get stolen!
I think checking/verifying vehicle registrations needs to be done automatically by existing/available License Plate Scanner Tech!
(By placing them on Police Patrol Vehicles and/or Street (Intersection) Cameras!)
(They can also be used for continuously searching for stolen vehicles etc!)

(202207133) One of the reasons I really like/enjoy Star Trek is because of raising interesting/important social/philosophical questions!
I think, for example, a "Star Trek: Discovery" episode about character origins/history of "high-ranking Vulcan academic/official Sarek, his half-human son Spock, his adopted (black girl) child Michael" was actually quite relevant to problems of academic/scientific world/community today!
In the episode, other/most high-ranking Vulcan academic/officials are thinking/claiming that humans are mentally/intellectually-inferior to Vulcans!
& so, Sarek starts doing an experiment to disprove them by raising a half-human son & full-human adopted-daughter! (& we already know that eventually he is proven right!)
(& by the way, I think human history is full of evidence for people (secretly/implicitly) thinking that Blacks/Women/Natives(/Asians/Muslims(/Turks/Kurds)) are mentally/intellectually-inferior! (True?))
I actually have no doubt that such/similar racist/elitist/snobby/egoist/hubrisful/arrogant thinking is actually quite common in academic/scientific world/community today!
For example, it is very clear to me that so many (theoretical) physicists are kind of people who think that people of general public (who have no graduate or higher level of (highly-successful) academic education on (theoretical) physics) can never know/understand anything in (theoretical) physics better than themselves!
& very clearly (at least for/to me), they also think that there is absolutely no way anybody from general public can ever have any new/promising/worthy R&D ideas on (theoretical) physics!
(Even though history of physics/science is very clearly evidence/proof for the opposite!)
& very clearly (at least for/to me), at least some of them also think that only they have the authority (to work) on problems/issues in/of (theoretical) physics!
(Even though history of physics/science is very clearly evidence/proof for the opposite!)

“For me [relativity] came as a tremendous surprise, for in his student days Einstein had been a real lazybones. He never bothered about mathematics at all.”:

I had also read that Einstein always had great difficulty learning new math!

IMHO, math is the best way/language/tool to express/understand physics for sure but it is NOT really physics itself (unlike some people seem to think)!
Everything mathematically possible is NOT also physically possible, for example!
Let's also realize/notice that new revolutionary theories in physics often/always(?) require totally new math!
For example, Newton Physics required Calculus & Differential Equations!
Relativity required Tensor Math & Riemann Geometry!
QM required Path Integrals, Feynman Diagrams etc!
& so my guess is Quantum-Relativity (GUT) & (Planck-scale Quantum Cellular Automata) TOE quite possibly also will require totally new math!

(202207251) I think large burger chains & restaurants should/must try to switch to air-fryer tech for French/potato-fries etc!
(So, there would be no oil waste anymore & the products would also be healthier (because of no re-usage of old oil)!

(202207284) IMHO, we absolutely need M.A.D (Mutually-Assured Destruction) to keep preventing WW3 but we also absolutely need to try to keep minimizing the probability of accidentally triggering it!
& so, IMHO, M.A.D should/must be always kept in place/effect by using the safest way(s) possible!
& so, IMHO, only (secret) immobile/underground ((thermo-)nuclear) ICBMs should/must be allowed to stay/exist!!
(Also having/developing ICBM tech should/must be mandatory for any country having/developing (thermo-)nuclear bomb tech, IMHO!
(& there needs to be (UN-enforced) global safety/quality standards for both (thermo-)nuclear bomb tech & ICBM tech, IMHO!))
& ALL (accident/breakdown/theft/hijacking-prone) mobile ((thermo-)nuclear) ICBM/missile/bomb carrier (land/sea/air/space) vehicle(s)/patrols should/must be absolutely/permanently banned!!
(By the way, if anybody thinks/says that "ICBM info/locations could be spied/stolen to gain unfair advantage!" then I say "That is a risk equally applies to ALL countries participating/enforcing M.A.D & so there is really/actually/absolutely nothing unfair about it!"!)

"Yes, the Universe really is 100% reductionist in nature"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/yes-universe-is-70265040

IMHO, reductionism/analysis approach surely works great for scientific research but until it does not!
For example, it successfully gave us QM (governing our micro-scale reality) & Relativity (governing our macro-scale reality) but it cannot help any further!

& that is because (at least to me!), combining/uniting the two theories into the one (GUT of Quantum-Relativity) really/actually requires the exact opposite approach: emergentism/synthesis!

(How? For example by explaining spacetime of GR as a superfluid emergent property (created by the medium of virtual particles of quantum vacuum)!)

I for 1 think that the solution of DM problem first requires understanding the true nature/structure of spacetime (& the cosmic web!)!
Because I think spacetime is a superfluid & DE is causing a boiling/bubbling effect on the whole spacetime superfluid of our universe (which creates/maintains the whole cosmic web)!
& so, what is currently thought/interpreted as locations of denser DM are really/actually locations of denser spacetime superfluid!
& so, my prediction is there will be never any particle found that can solve/explain DM!

"To understand chaos theory, play a game of Plinko"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/to-understand-of-70354300

Double-Slit Experiment (DSE) has fundamental value/importance for understanding/interpreting QM, but (at least to me), it is still not fully-understood/interpreted!
Physicists were keep designing/experimenting different variations of it for a very long time but still seems not good enough!
I think, the best way to fully control/analyze/understand DSE is quite possibly by creating a very simplified bare-bones simulation of it, by using a quantum computer (algorithm)!
How?:
Imagine that, instead of shooting photons or electrons etc in space/vacuum, we shoot logical qubits in a quantum computer by using rows of physical qubits like a Plinko Board!
(The first/main goal would be creating/observing wave interference pattern in the final slot counts!
Similar to a Galton Board which creates a Bell Curve pattern in the final slot counts:

"Without Einstein, we might have missed General Relativity"

"Newtonian gravity was a lot like Coulomb’s law for the electric force in electromagnetism, where a stationary charge (or mass, in the case of gravity) attracts or repels (or only attracts, in the case of gravity) any other charge in proportion to their mutual charges (or masses, for gravity) and inversely proportional to the distance squared between those two objects.":

IMHO, that is because, both spacetime & E-M field(s) are (superfluid) emergent properties (at macro-scale), created by the medium of virtual particles of quantum vacuum (at micro-scale)!

(By the way, not long ago, I had seen news articles about a physics research paper which was saying/claiming that electromagnetism appears to be an intrinsic property of spacetime itself!)

(By the way, I had read that QM says, all real particles (& so, all objects, like stars & planets!) are surrounded by dense(r) clouds of virtual particles!
& I will make a wild guess that density of those virtual particle clouds should/must be decreasing w/ distance according to the inverse square law!)
