(202105226) Lawns (of houses/buildings) just kept for pretty looks are a huge/total waste (of water/labor/money)!
They also cause constant massive dispersing of harmful artificial herbicide/pesticide chemicals to our environment!
(Not to mention, they also often cause so much noise from lawnmowers etc!)

(202105226) Whenever a person calls/texts local emergency service number (911/999) from his/her smartphone, an autogenerated standard format text message needs to be send automatically, which contains GPS location & phone owner info (name, pronoun(s), language(s), race, DOB, phone number, address)!
(The owner (or the phone company) needs to setup local emergency service number & phone owner info!)

(202105252) Israel & Palestine Problem & Syrian Civil War Problem maybe/canbe solved together!:
IMHO, Syria needs to be divided into 2, as Northern & Southern Syria!
(Because, the root cause of the civil war is NOT simply/just "the public (who want democracy) rise-up against their dictator"!
There is also fundamental religious incompatibility between The Sunnis/Sunnites of North & The (Shia/Shite) Alawis/Alawites of South!)
Imagine, then, Syria divided into N & S & Palestinians (who are Sunnis/Sunnites) sold their land to Israel & moved to Northern Syria!
(& they provided much needed money & experience to Northern Syria, to rebuild & create their new (independent) state/country!)

"The Wuhan Lab Leak Hypothesis Is A Conspiracy Theory, Not Science"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/wuhan-lab-leak-52063291

It really matters that origin of COVID-19 virus is natural or artificial?
Absolutely yes!
Because, if it is artificial, then, even if it was released unintentionally, China would be still guilty, IMHO!
(Because causing deaths/damage thru neglect is still a crime!)
& so, they would owe compensation to all other countries, at least for all economic damage they caused, IMHO!

I myself strongly believe that origin of COVID-19 virus is natural, but it is (obviously) still extremely important to prove that to whole world!! (Considering the extremely high stakes that whether China owes trillions of dollars(!) of compensation or not!?)
& so, China needs to stop preventing full access to international (WHO) researchers, who are trying to find-out everything about origins of COVID-19 virus! Otherwise, China needs to be considered guilty as charged, by the rest of the world, IMHO!

COVID-19 pandemic caused massive damage to whole world & it is neither the first nor will be the last global pandemic coming from wild animals! & so, it is extremely important for whole world/humanity to absolutely minimize chances of any future pandemics! I have seen some suggestions like, "restore forests" (which I think is already getting done to fight Global Warming) & "try to keep monitoring all wild animals for new diseases"!
I do not think any such ideas would ever really could prevent COVID-19!
Then what could be done?
IMHO, only true solution would be whole world/humanity cutting-off itself from all wild animals!!
How? By signing a global/international agreement that absolutely/permanently bans sale/trade/consumption/hunting/petting all wild animals (except fish)!!
(Of course, such an agreement would need to go into effect only after 10 or 20 years in the future, so that all countries could prepare themselves!)

Actually (IMHO), China is already very clearly guilty, because of letting rest the world about COVID-19 TOO LATE!!!
& here is what I would like to propose as COVID-19 compensation problem solution:
Cancel all debts all countries owe to China!!!

(202106104) Here is an analogy which IMHO could explain what is the problem w/ trying to unite (Quantum & Relativity) physics, by simply using a more general mathematical structure (like Strings or Twistors etc):
Imagine that, back in 19th Century, if someone converted all equations of Newton Physics & Maxwell EM Theory into polynomial (curve) equations & claimed uniting all known physics into a/the TOE!
(Realize that, afterwards, whenever any experiment/observation showed any of the polynomials is not valid in an extended range, then, the problem could be easily "fixed" by simply creating a suitable higher degree polynomial!)

(202106163) Even though it appears like average/max human lifespan is keep increasing (in general), that is only because less wars & better healthcare & food etc!
Actually, (Judaism & Christianity &) Islam imply that average/max human lifespan maybe really keep decreasing! (Adam living more than 1000 years & Noah more than 900 years, etc!)
Could such trend (dis)proved (maybe by checking/measuring telomere lengths of human cells thru history)?

(202106207) IMHO, ALL (local/federal/national) infrastructure projects should/must be made immune against all lawsuits (after they started (construction)) thru law!
(For example, city of Los Angeles clearly has a huge traffic problem, which seems to be cannot ever be solved! But why? Is it because lack of money?: No! One time I had read a news which I think explains the main problem! The city had started building a tunnel project, which had got cancelled (derailed!) in the middle, because of a lawsuit from a group of residents demanding environmental studies (which would take many years)!)
(Actually (IMHO), what Los Angeles really needs (first & foremost) is a full/extensive/comprehensive subway network (just as cities like New York & London etc have)!)

(202106244) IMHO, if a civil war situation happens in Iraq then the solution maybe Sunni-side joining to Turkey & Shiite-side joining to Iran (as internally-independent states)!

(202106281) Cultural Appropriation Problem:
So many times I noticed news articles in mass media, about some people in social media accusing some celebrities for doing "cultural appropriation"! Often because of those celebrities wearing outfits similar to some particular cultural outfits!
But aren't really almost all kinds of outfits/fashion everybody wear, everywhere in the world, really came from other cultures/nations/countries? (For example, it seems wearing neckties had started as a new fashion by the French people!)
For example, there was a Spanish outfit fashion in whole world during 70s! Whole world was really doing "cultural appropriation"?
Someone (who is non-Italian) posts a picture/video of himself/herself to social media, eating Italian food, is really doing "cultural appropriation"?
Someone posts a video of himself/herself to social media, listening to music from another culture or watching a movie/show from another culture, is really doing "cultural appropriation"?
I think, the whole idea/concept of "cultural appropriation" is wrong/harmful & needs to go-away! & the real "rule of thumb" needs to be, whether there seems to be any ((very) clear) intent/goal to belittle/ridicule some other culture/nation/country or not!?

(202103291) Turing Test Problem:
Whether we accept that "we do not really know what is mind/consciousness" or "mind/consciousness is brain machinery controlled/commanded by free will", either case, there cannot be any test that can really prove any given AI/robot is truly conscious!
But, on the other hand, surely there can be any test that can really prove any given AI/robot is truly NOT conscious!
Whether we accept that "we do not really know what is life" or "life is cell/body machinery controlled/commanded by free will", either case, there cannot be any test that can really prove any given ALife/robot is truly alive!
But, on the other hand, surely there can be any test that can really prove any given ALife/robot is truly NOT alive!
(So, these are really similar situations to how theories of physics cannot really be proven but surely they can be disproven!)

(202103291) IMHO, our world really needs a (UN-led) global/international agreement, to digitize (in a standard resolution/format), all books/magazines/newspapers of all countries!!!
(& store/save them all, in a global archive/library! & provide free public internet access for all expired copyright ones!)

(202103313) IMHO, life is cell/body machinery controlled/commanded by free will!
(& that is why, for example, identical twins (& even identical cells!) have different personality/character!)
& since there is absolutely nothing in physics/science to explain (how to artificially create) free will, creating ALife (cell/body) should/must be absolutely impossible (IMHO)!

Also, IMHO, replacing genome of any natural/living cell w/ artificially created DNA/RNA, is NOT really creating ALife!
It would be, only if, there was no natural/living cell was used & all parts/pieces of the new cell were created artificially!

(IMHO, starting w/ a dead natural cell should/must not work either, but, in that case, the end result/achievement would always be still uncertain/arguable, because what if, that cell was not really dead (but hibernating/stunned etc)?)

Another huge question is, the new cell(s) created after genome replacement (especially after multiple divisions) are really clearly living cells? (Or, they are more like automatons/machines/robots?)
(Are they acting similar to known living cells, like searching for food, getting away from dangers, trying to fight against enemies, etc?)
(If they are clearly automatons, then, can they be turned into any kind of clearly living cells, by replacing their genomes w/ articially produced copy of those kinds of natural living cells? (IMHO, the answer should/must be no!))

"Why You Should Doubt ‘New Physics’ From The Latest Muon g-2 Results"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/why-you-should-g-49772443

I have got the impression that theoretical calculation of muon magnetic moment requires including ALL SM particles (true?), but what if, SM is still incomplete?:

What if, BHs do not really contain (0-size/infinite-density!) singularities & actually made of particles (like everything else)?
From Wikipedia:
"A Planck particle, or planckion, named after physicist Max Planck, is a hypothetical particle defined as a tiny black hole whose Compton wavelength is equal to its Schwarzschild radius. Its mass is thus approximately the Planck mass, and its Compton wavelength and Schwarzschild radius are about the Planck length."

(IMHO, in all theoretical calculations requiring including ALL SM particles, including planckion should/must provide an improvement!
Because, planckion is the only realistic possibility for what particle BHs could be made of!

Of course, some might say/claim "BHs cannot be made of particles because they would need to move faster than light to avoid falling into central singularity"!

IMHO, that is same kind of "self-evident" "obviously true" simplistic logic as "a heavier than air machine cannot fly"!
Consider, for example, why neutrons on the surface of a NS do not fall to center (even though GR says they should/must!)?
Because, there are other neutrons on the way!

Imagine, a particle that already has min possible size & max possible density & so it cannot be compressed any further or crushed!)

(202104117) Additional comment on the same article:

Some might say "Planck particles are like micro-BHs & so they would be extremely unstable"!
But, realize that individual/free neutrons are also unstable but they are stable when part of a NS!

"Ask Ethan: Could Gravitons Solve The Mystery Of Dark Matter?"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/ask-ethan-could-49814120

"In fact, if gravity, like the other known forces, turns out to be inherently quantum in nature, then the existence of a graviton is required."

Agree to disagree Ethan! :-)

If spacetime is an emergent property (superfluid) then bending of spacetime could be explained w/o needing any new particle!

(Actually GR is already known to be fully-compatible w/ spacetime as superfluid view!
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.")

What I really meant was, our reality/universe can be fully quantum in micro-scale, but classical in macro-scale!
Just like water is quantum in micro-scale, but it follows/approximates classical Navier-Stokes physics at macro-scale!

(Also, if spacetime is superfluid then gravitons could/would still exist but as quasiparticles!
Just like sound waves in air/water are made of phonon quasiparticles, gravitational waves could/would be made of graviton quasiparticles!)

It seems that "spacetime as superfluid" idea was actually presented/offered to Einstein but he chose not to pursue it!:

"Einstein, Graef, and a clash of theories"
https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/pt.6.4.20190717a/full

I think quite possibly that decision was the true greatest blunder of his life! :-)

QM already says there are all kinds of virtual particles keep popping in & out of existence everywhere!
(& Casimir force measurement experiments already proving they are really exist!)

Now imagine that virtual particles of quantum vacuum is like a gas medium at micro-scale that creates spacetime superfluid as emergent property at macro-scale!
(Just like air is a gas at micro-scale but it is a fluid at macro-scale!)

From Wikipedia for "Superfluid Vacuum Theory":

"The microscopic structure of this physical vacuum is currently unknown and is a subject of intensive studies in SVT."

What I think/propose is, that there is really only 1 realistic possibility (which is already known/proven to exist) & that is virtual particles!

I think some theoretical phycisists accept their physical existence & some don't!

I for one think that Casimir force measurement experiments alone are enough evidence/proof for their existence!
Otherwise, are we claiming purely imaginary/abstract mathematical entities creating a measurable physical effect on our reality?

"And then, how does that provide structure to space?"

I had given example of how air is a gas at micro-scale but a fluid at macro-scale!

Of course, what needs to be done is a full mathematical derivation (which is beyond me):

Step 1: Convert GR (spacetime) equations to (super)fluid form!
Step 2: Create virtual particle dynamics equations (similar to a gas but not exactly the same, obviously)!
Step 3: Mathematically show that gas-like virtual particle equations reduce to superfluid spacetime equations at macro-scale!
(Imagine that if you had particle dynamics equations for air & mathematically showed how those reduce to fluid equations at macro-scale!)

& then what you have would be Great Unified Theory of Quantum-Relativity!

"Even giving real existence of virtual particles they could only last for an unmeasurably short period of time."

But realize that popping in & out of existence happening extremely fast but it is constantly non-stop keep happening everywhere!
So you have a constantly existing gas-like medium everywhere!
(For example, consider how old CRT monitors/TVs created images!
Any giving moment there is really only a glowing spot on screen but it creates a full image because of keep scanning the whole screen extremely fast!)

As I said, I think spacetime (of GR) is superfluid emergent property created by virtual particles of quantum vacuum!
& so, at smaller than particle size scales, spacetime do not really exist, IMHO!
I think, ultimately, our reality is a Planck-scale crystal/grid/matrix quantum computer & all elementary particles (of SM) are its quasiparticles!
(Similar to quasiparticles in semiconductor crystals but way more complex!)
But that is a whole other discussion!! :-)

"Then why do we see the effect of quantum fields when there are no particles around to create them?"

But what if, there are always (virtual) particles everywhere? (As Casimir force experiments, for example, already indicate/support!)

Of course you can disagree Ethan, but I for one think, ALL quantum fields (like electric & magnetic fields) (as well as spacetime) are actually created by gas-like medium of virtual particles which exist everywhere always!!

"The 5 Truths About Dark Matter That Everyone Should Know"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-truths-about-50837437

Just some food for thought for anyone interested:

I for 1 think that Dark Matter is just a side-effect caused by Dark Energy!

Consider that how a ball of dough would start as internally smooth but it would get a growing web-like structure later, as it rises!
Now imagine that dough is superfluid spacetime that rises because of DE & so it gets a growing cosmic web structure!

Realize that this view would easily explain:
Why there is no any kind of DM particle that can be found?
Why some galaxies appear to have too much DM & why some others appear to have too little?

& it could be possible to actually (dis)prove this idea in the future by analyzing geometric structure of the real Cosmic Web!
Because its geometric (Gaussian) curvature would be different, based on, whether it is created by gravitational collapse (as current/common view) or it is created as a side-effect by DE (as described above)!

"Ask Ethan: Do Virtual Particles Really Exist?"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/ask-ethan-do-50966773

"The effects of virtual particles are real, but the particles themselves are not!"

Agree to disagree Ethan! :-)

Think about how easy it would be, for anyone, to refuse physical reality of spacetime, exactly the same way!
By saying "all measurable/observable effects of spacetime are real, but spacetime itself is not"!

Notice that there is absolutely no way for anyone to prove physical reality of virtual particles to anyone think like you!
(Because there are already many experiments/observations & you just refuse all of them!
(If there is any possible future experiment/observation, which could change your mind, please let us know! :-))

(202105086) Additional comment on the same article:

IMHO, what you are really saying/claiming is "virtual particles are just purely abstract mathematical tools/entities but they have measurable effects on our physical reality"!
Sorry Ethan but that does not make any sense because it is clearly a logical contradiction/impossibility!

Remember you were talking about how Fred Hoyle (an otherwise great physicist/scientist) completely rejected overwhelming evidence for Big Bang Theory & instead chose to keep defending his beloved Steady-State Theory for rest of his life?
IMHO, you need to seriously consider, if what you are really doing here is actually exactly the same or not!!!

"Ask Ethan: If The Universe Stops Expanding, Will Time Run Backwards?"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/ask-ethan-if-run-46517932

"as far as we can tell, time continues to always march forward at the same rate it always does: one second per second."

There maybe another way to look at speed of time though:
According to Special Relativity, as movement speed of an object in (3D) space increases, its movement speed in time (dimension) decreases & vice versa!
& if an object is not moving thru space then its movement speed thru time (dimension) is equal to speed of light!
So, IMHO, that is the (normal) speed of (flow of) time: speed of light!

I personally think that, even though galaxies get dragged along w/ expansion of Universe, the opposite would not be true!
IMHO, if the expansion stopped & galaxies pulled together (because of gravity), they would not drag along spacetime!
IMHO, Black Holes (no matter how massive), do not have power to drag along and/or pull back in spacetime, either!
(& so, a Big Crunch would only create a single Hyper Massive Black Hole & nothing more!)

Also, I completely agree that arrow of time is not because of entropy increase!
For example, entropy inside a volume (of gas) can be increased/decreased by heating/cooling!
But, would that really mean time inside passing faster/slower? I think the answer is no!

(202101306) AGING & CANCER:
Considering, how human body can stay "young" & healthy for many decades but later somehow it starts decaying/aging, how some people have early aging disease, which makes them look like very old people even when they are children, how true causes of aging seems almost impossible to pinpoint, I think it looks very suspiciously like whole aging process of human body maybe some kind of (very advanced) genetic computer program/software which stays dormant until triggered someday!
(Not to mention, I think there are at least few people known to history who were said to be looked like very young people when they were actually very old!)

I think cancer also seems far beyond "simply cell division going out of control" & actually seems very suspiciously like some kind of (very advanced) genetic computer program/software which stays dormant until triggered someday (& you get a different form of cancer depending on what kind of cell(s) triggered it)!

(Viruses could be also seen as advanced genetic computer software too, no doubt!)

There are countless known medicinal plants all over the world!

Each medicinal plant can be turned into a separate pill but that is highly impractical for many reasons!

"Do Objects Get More Massive When They Move Close To The Speed Of Light?"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/do-objects-get-47314772

"The speed of light is constant in a vacuum"

Just some food for thought for anyone interested:

I personally think gravitational lensing is actually caused by light slowingdown passing thru gravitational fields!
& that is because spacetime (superfluid) is denser around massive objects & light waves slowdown when passing thru denser medium!
(Imagine spacetime as an emergent property created by virtual particles of quantum vacuum + QM already says that all real particles are surrounded by a denser cloud of virtual particles!)

(202102103) Maybe LIGO could be used to prove light slowingdown when passing thru gravitatinal field (by bringing a heavy massive object near one of its arms)?

(202102276) What is quantum measurement?
For simplicity, consider a classical computer (Turing Machine) that has just a single bit of state/memory!
& it only supports 2 operations: Read (0 or 1) & Write (0 or 1)!
Is there really anything mysterious about meaning of these 2 operations?

Now consider a quantum computer (Quantum Turing Machine) that has just a single qubit of state/memory!
& it only supports 2 operations: Read & Write!
Realize, now Write operation can write 0 or 1 or U (Unknown/Undetermined)!
& Read operation still reads 0 or 1 & if the state was U then it first causes the state to choose either 0 or 1!
Is there really anything mysterious about meaning of these 2 operations?

Now imagine that our whole reality is a quantum computer that processes real/virtual elementary/composite particle movements/decays/collisions & particles are actually just clusters/registers of qubit/qutrit state data!
(& so, what a quantum measurement actually is just the Read operation of our reality quantum computer!)

UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME

My guess is most working people of humanity are always unhappy w/ their jobs, for many reasons, but have no better choice (for job or source of income)!
"Wage Slavery" is actually one of the biggest problems of humanity!
& like that is not enough, relentless rise of automation/AI/robots is threatening to takeaway most of all available jobs of humanity!

Universal Basic Income (UBI) idea (that is government paying a minimum wage to everybody or jobless people for lifetime) could really be a viable/global/permanent solution?

My guess is paying everybody (instead of only jobless people) would be a really bad idea, because it would easily/quickly lead to price of everything (like rent & food) keep increasing, until that minimum wage is no longer enough for anybody to cover their basic living costs!

(Of course, there maybe always some jobs really needed to be done by some people, but pays low wage!
What if, nobody wants to do those jobs anymore, if they can get a comparable minimum wage w/o working?
I think (local) governments could make an exception for those jobs, so people doing them also get UBI!
(And/or, (non-violent) criminals of (local) prisons could be made (in)voluntarily doing those jobs, in return for reduced sentences!))

But, I think the biggest problem against permanently/globally realizing UBI, is the problem of providing cheap housing (at large/global scale)!
What can be done to permanently/globally solve it?

Imagine (UN?) creating a set of standard building designs, available to all countries/people for absolutely free!
Each big/large/giant building is designed to provide a max number of micro-apartments!
& to be of min construction & maintenance costs & max durability & max strength against earthquakes/storms/fires/floods!
(So, all made of reinforced-concrete?)
(And/or, big/large/giant (stainless) steel skeleton buildings that just provide slots for standard-design shipping container housing units! (Imagine if, such RV-like standard-design housing units produced at large/global scale, to make each cost minimum!))

VARIOUS & SUNDRY 8

(202012137) ON WAR ON DRUGS:

IMHO, drugs which do not easily cause overdose deaths (like DMT, THC, LSD, Psilocybin etc) legally should/must be treated same as alcohol (which is really just another (similar) kind of drug)!

IMHO, just like prohibition of alcohol had caused so much crime in the past (& that is why it was repealed many years later), prohibition of many similar drugs are causing so much crime today! We need to take lesson from history!

(Not to mention, (according to medical research) drugs like DMT, THC, LSD, Psilocybin seem to be extremely promising against (major) depression & PTSD!) (& what benefits alcohol or tobacco have exactly (& yet they are legal)?)

(BTW, yes, psychedelic drugs (like Psilocybin, LSD, DMT etc) absolutely should/must be legalized, but, forcing ALL people to get them only at government-licensed service centers & only from government-licensed guides is ABSOLUTELY WRONG, IMHO!
Imagine, for example, if alcohol only allowed to be consumed at bars & nowhere else!!
Or, imagine, if ALL alcohol users were seen/treated as "drunk drivers" & always forced to drive in groups & by following government-licensed driving guides!!)

(202012137) IMHO, burning waste/trash for energy is the most practical solution & by far! (There is already advanced filter tech for preventing harmful fumes from it!)

Creating more & larger landfills would be a total waste of land!

Recycling/reprocessing methods would require a lot of labor (& so cost)! (& impractical/costly for consumers & trash collection vehicles/work(ers) too!)

Not to mention, by burning (w/o anybody touching) it, disease outbreak risks also would be minimized!

Not to mention, remaining ash could be useful in many ways!

(Another good solution (if/when practically possible) would be producing biodiesel from all waste/trash!)

(202012137/202012211) BEST BIOFUEL:

Pretty much all gasoline vehicles (motorcycles & cars & pickup trucks etc) are on their way to become fully electric already!
But importance of all kinds of existing diesel vehicles seems overlooked! IMHO, our world desperately needs start producing biodiesel fuel at large scales!

Most trucks & ships & farm equipment/tractors & trains & construction machinery/bulldozers/excavators & most military vehicles/tanks in the world run on diesel fuel! & so, biodiesel would be the best choice of biofuel to produce at large scales & by far!!! (& no doubt biodiesel fuel can easily be converted to jet fuel to make all aircraft carbon-neutral too!)

Just imagine, if almost all biomass from agricultural & forest management waste (maybe also even all sewage & trash) turned into biodiesel fuel, to run all kinds of land/sea/air vehicles on biodiesel, then how much it would help for Global Warming!!!

(Of course, one may still ask: But do we really have perfectly good tech to produce biodiesel at large/global scale?

Which of widely used/deployed energy production techs (like solar panels or wind turbines, for example) started perfect exactly? It took really decades to perfect them or not? & are not even they still keep getting improved today?)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiesel

(202012137) ANY HYDROGEN VEHICLE IS A HUGE MISTAKE!!!

Our world already always have countless people keep burning to death alive (after traffic accidents), because of using gasoline (which easily starts fires) as fuel! (Diesel, for example, does NOT easily starts fires (& that is why POTUS car is specifically chosen to be a diesel, for example)!)

Hydrogen, on the other hand, does NOT start fires but EXPLODES like a bomb!!!

If there are hydrogen vehicles around, do you seriously think their tanks would never leak or rapture, because of a traffic accident, for example???

IMHO, any land/sea/air vehicle which battery does not provide enough power/range should/must use bio-diesel as (range extender) fuel!!!
(Bio-diesel can be produced from many kinds of crops/biomass & can be used by all existing (land/sea/air) diesel vehicles too!!!)

https://theconversation.com/as-heavenly-bodies-converge-many-ask-is-the-star-of-bethlehem-making-a-comeback-152067

How could possibly birth of a new star (a supernova?) used to determine a certain location on Earth to go & search?

Maybe the star born right on top (zenith) of birthplace of Jesus at exact time of birth? & those wise men were astronomers who saw the birth of the star right at the beginning & from that they determined a direction & distance to go? (To calculate a distance, they would need to measure the angle of the star from their zenith & also need to know size (radius) of Earth!)

(Realize that, once a direction & distance is determined, then any map could be used to determine a certain location on Earth, to go anytime later to search (for a baby born at a certain date & time)!)

(202012185) PROBLEM OF EVIL & MEANING OF LIFE:
IMHO, first of all, from pretty much all humans & animals very clearly having an innate sense of fairness/justice, it can be easily concluded that, if a/the God created all then that God really/absolutely cares about fairness/justice!

Of course one may ask:
If God is all good/fair/just then why is the/our world is full of evil (people/actions)?

For an/the answer, imagine that, if God created all humans who have free will (to choose/do good/right or bad/evil) & also created a/the Heaven (to reward the people who chose/done good/right) & also created a/the Hell (to punish the people who chose/done bad/evil)
then the problem would be, how to decide/show/prove, which people are really good/right (& deserve life/reward in Heaven) & which people are really bad/evil (& deserve life/punishment in Hell)?!

& if so then, realize, this would be the solution:
Create a neutral ground/world (for test) where people could freely choose & do good/right or bad/evil (w/o interference from God)!
(But, of course, people still should/must be made aware/advised/warned of what/life God expects of them (thru a/the (correct/right) religion)!)

(One may still ask: If God already knows what anybody would choose to do (in any given situation) then, why not God send people directly to Heaven or Hell w/o living in this world?
Realize, then it would not be really fair/just because people would be getting punished/rewarded for actions they did not really do!)

(202101037) SPACETIME MEDIUM PROBLEM:

Speed of light (c) being constant/same for all observers (in Special Relativity) really means spacetime cannot have any medium?
(So, spacetime being a superfluid (at macro-scale) created by gas-like dynamics of virtual particles of quantum vacuum (at micro-scale) is really physically possible or not?)

Imagine that an ambulance is moving at high speed on a straight road & there is 1 person at a distance ahead/behind who is standing on the side of the road!
Realize, that person would hear siren sound of the ambulance at a higher/lower pitch/frequency than the pitch/frequency the driver hears!
But also realize that, both people would still measure the speed of siren sound to be the same (assuming same air temperature & pressure for both people)!!!

(202101052) Michelson-Morley Experiment really means light (electromagnetic waves) cannot have any kind of medium of propagation?
IMHO, if the same experiment made using sound waves, then, it would be still found that speed of sound waves always is the same, in perpendicular/different directions!
(Air temperature and/or pressure and/or wind (in any direction/speed) would change the speed of sound waves but that speed would be still always the same, in perpendicular/different directions!)

(202101063) Speed of Gravitational Waves is equal to speed of light (c) & it is no doubt same/constant for all observers, since Special Relativity is a special case of General Relativity!
But Gravitational Waves have a medium of propagation (spacetime (superfluid))!

(202101247) Light slows down when passing thru any denser medium; which is just like what sound does!
Gravitational fields are where spacetime superfluid medium is denser & so light (or gravitatioal waves) would slow down passing thru them!
(That is also why light (or gravitatioal waves) would refract passing thru them; just like any lens!)

Just some food for thought for anyone interested:

Interference pattern of double slit experiment still known to happen, even when using (one-by-one) molecules made of hundreds of atoms!

I for one, cannot believe molecules made of hundreds of atoms can ever pass thru both slits at the same time (to be able to create wave interference)!
& so, what is needed, IMHO, is to find an explanation for wave-like behavior, w/o ever requiring particles physically to be waves!
(But Pilot Wave Theory does not seem to be the right answer!)

I wonder if it maybe possible to simulate/model double slit experiment using a quantum computer (to show/prove interference pattern can still be generated when using only particles (& no waves))?
Maybe by simplifying/modelling the experiment as qubits falling/moving in an imaginary "Plinko Game Board"?:

(202101122) All over the world, countless people each year, who were riding in gasoline vehicles, are having collision traffic accidents & at first, they are getting "saved" by airbags, but later they are burning to death alive, because of being stuck in the wreckage of their vehicles!

This is happening because car companies are allowed to do collision safety tests of all their vehicles w/ empty gas tanks! Which is definitely an unrealistic test method because in real world traffic accidents, gas tanks are NOT empty!

All governments need to force all car companies to do all vehicle collision tests w/ full gas tanks (& batteries) (to make them really realistic safety tests)!

& then whole world would clearly see that:
Electric & diesel cars/vehicles are really safe, but gasoline & hydrogen cars/vehicles are extremely NOT safe!!!

Thankfully all gasoline vehicles (like motorcycles, cars, pickup trucks) are already in their way to become fully electric
but what about all diesel vehicles (like heavy trucks, trains, ships, agriculture/construction/mining/military vehicles)?
Right/safe solution for all of them would be to start producing biodiesel fuel for them at large/global scales; instead of trying to switch all of them to hydrogen (which would be extremely dangerous, since hydrogen gas tanks could easily cause massive explosions during traffic accidents etc)!

(One may still ask: If hydrogen vehicles are really extremely dangerous then why many car companies relentlessly keep trying to promote hydrogen vehicles?
Realize that, if they were to switch to electric vehicles then they would need to completely redesign all their vehicles & factories (at massive cost, no doubt)!
But, if they were to switch to hydrogen vehicles then they would need to make only very little design changes to all their vehicles & factories!)

So it seems, Hubble Constant is determined from the CMB data, by comparing its properties to various CMB data calculated from a theoretical model w/ varying parameters (to find which one(s) fit the best)!

I wonder if a more direct method is possible:
If 2 CMB (image) data of same location taken decades apart (for example), there should be a difference between them, because of expansion of universe!
Assuming such a difference is big enough to be really measurable using current tech, it should be possible to calculate expansion speed of universe from that difference!

MASS MEDIA PROBLEM

Creating/causing any positive/negative sensation in general public means many more clicks/eyeballs for all mass media outlets!
But, truly sensational news is quite rare in the real world, so mass media is always like "the boy who cried wolf"!
Some smart people can surely tell they have been misled/tricked/lied (after reading/watching/listening a clickbait/fakenews article/video/podcast) but IMHO most people often cannot!
People of general public are always full of people w/ outrageously wrong views/ideas!
Where they are came from & why they cannot ever be corrected?

IMHO, this ongoing situation is constant massive harm/danger for whole humanity, going forward!
What can be done to improve the situation?
IMHO, first & foremost, facts & opinions need to be separated on all mass media, permanently!
 
IMHO, if mass media was criticized/pressured on this (by general public & governments) there could be improvement but it would not be permanent!
Because, the pressure & opportunity to easily create false sensational news & make more money is always present!
Sooner or later, more & more of mass media outlets would start again!
(Any which is not doing it would be in a huge income disadvantage against the ones which are doing it!)

So, only true permanent improvement/solution would be making permanent national/global law(s), which makes mandatory, for all mass media outlets, to always clearly separate (& mark so) facts & opinions!

(202012067) SOCIAL MEDIA PROBLEM:
IMHO, ALL internet social media companies/websites should/must be forced (by national/global law(s)) to:
Always force all user profiles to be private!
Always discourage strangers (in real life/world) becoming social media friends!
Never allow strangers commenting/responding to any user posts (& only allow like (& dislike) clicks)!
Never allow strangers sending messages to any users!
Never allow posting of videos of any dangerous stunts!
Never allow illegal/exploitative/manipulative/bullying/disrespectful comments/messages/content!

"Quantum Fluctuations Were Experimentally Proven Way Back In 1947"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/quantum-were-way-43990918

"The virtual ones do not appear in our detectors, don’t collide with real particles, and cannot be directly seen. As theorists, we often caution against taking them too seriously, noting that they’re just an effective calculational tool."

With all due respect, this kind of thinking does not make any sense to me at all!

So, virtual particles are just purely abstract non-physical mathematical entities, but somehow they have measurable physical effects on our physical reality?

Absolutely agree to disagree Ethan! :-)

Of course this is just my personal view, but I think experimentally measurable physical effects, like Casimir force, should/must be seen/interpreted as very clear evidence/proof of physical reality of virtual particles!
They are just particles which stay in existence for an extremely short time to be detected directly!

(& I also personally think (if anyone interested) virtual particles of quantum vacuum are actually a gas-like medium which creates our spacetime as a superfluid emergent property (just like air (gas) creates weather (fluid))!)

"If gravitation turns out to be quantum in nature, there’s only one quantum particle, the graviton, required to carry the gravitational force."

Not necessarily true (IMHO)!

As I said before, I personally think (if anyone interested) virtual particles of quantum vacuum are actually a gas-like medium which creates our spacetime as a superfluid emergent property (just like air (gas) creates weather (fluid))!
(& GR is actually quite compatible w/ possibility of spacetime being a superfluid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_solution)

& if spacetime really is a superfluid, then, gravitational waves are like sound waves, which are made of (NOT particles but) quasiparticles!

So, IMHO, it is definitely possible that gravitation is really quantum in nature & gravitons actually exist, but only as quasiparticles (& NOT particles)!

Just some food for thought (for anyone interested):

Think about waves in any gas/fluid: Are they really made of different particles than the particles of that gas/fluid?
(For example, are waves in water, made of different molecules than water molecules?)

So, if gravitational waves are ripples of spacetime & they are made of gravitons, then, would not that really require spacetime to be made of gravitons?
(Which is obviously not true!)

But realize, if spacetime is a (super)fluid medium (created by virtual particles of quantum vacuum) then there would be no need for any new particle (graviton) to create ripples of spacetime!

(20201122) IMHO, USA really needs universal healthcare (& actually all countries too)!
But, it should/must cover only citizens (& legal residents)!
Forcing taxpayers of USA (or any other country) to keep paying for healthcare costs of illegal aliens would be absolutely unfair, IMHO!!!

Also, to keep costs to all taxpayers at minimum, policy of trying to keep patients alive, as long as possible, no matter what, needs to end, absolutely!
& so, no patients should/must be allowed to stay in coma (or worse) state, for more than a certain time limit (like a month)!
(So, life support needs to be cut at the end of the time limit!)
Otherwise, countless people keep staying in hospitals for many months/years would be a really huge load on taxpayers!

Just some food for thought for anyone interested (& no need for any response):

IMHO, spacetime is actually a superfluid emergent property created by virtual particles of quantum vacuum!

& one of consequences of that is "quantum fluctuations" are NOT continuous field fluctuations, but actually (discrete) virtual particles!

https://www.patreon.com/posts/could-dark-wind-44569468

"It’s eminently possible that dark energy is mundane: a form of energy inherent to the fabric of space itself that never changes, evolves, strengthens, weakens"

Just some food for thought for anyone interested:

IMHO, conservation of energy is actually conservation of (quantum) information & it is always valid; even at universal scale(s)!

So, if all (current/future) astronomical observations indicate, Dark Energy is constant, then, I would think, it should/must be coming/pulled/fed from outside of our universe (similar to keep inflating a balloon by keep blowing air into it)!

(202012056) QM says all real particles are always surrounded by a cloud of virtual particles!
Imagine as:
Cloud of virtual particles around a neutral atom/molecule/object is its "gravitation field"!
Cloud of virtual particles around a charged atom/molecule/object is its "electric (& gravitation) field"!
Cloud of virtual particles around a magnetized atom/molecule/object is its "magnetic (& gravitation) field"!

(202012067) IMHO, any gravity/electric/magnetic field, neither have infinite resolution (continuity) nor infinite range!
So, the huge question is, what are the formula(s)/equation(s) for min possible:
Gravitational potential & Electric potential & Magnetic (scalar) potential?
(All 3 maybe just min possible (potential) (quantum/unit) energy point?!)
(Also realize, if those formula(s)/equation(s) were known, then, max possible radius/range of (gravity/electric/magnetic) field/potential formula(s)/equation(s), for any point mass/charge/magnet, could also be found/deduced/derived!

"Does Making A Quantum Measurement Really Destroy Information?"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/does-making-44875314

Just some food for thought for anyone interested:

What if, our whole reality/universe is made of only (real/virtual/quasi) particles & our whole reality/universe itself is a quantum computer processing particle data? (Imagine, each particle as a set of qubit/qutrit state values/variables/registers!)

(Imagine, spacetime & electric & magnetic "fields" are actually gas-like medium(s) created by virtual particles of quantum vacuum!)

(& also, imagine, as a consequence, there are no perfect/ideal geometric objects, like 0-size points (singularities) or 0-thickness strings/membranes etc, anywhere in our reality/universe!)

(202012115) Commented again on the same article:

More food for thought for anyone interested:

Realize that, if we think of each (elementary) particle as a set of qubit/qutrit state values/variables/registers, then, what these (above described) consecutive Stern-Gerlach experiments showing us, could be interpreted as:

Each particle has a (single) qubit state variable that gets set to 1 of 2 possible certain values, whenever the particle pass thru a strong enough magnetic field!
(& of course, setting a new value each time would mean forgetting the previous value!)

(What if, it is a composite particle?
Then, I guess the situation would be similar to a large magnet that is made of smaller magnets! (For which, the overall magnetic polarity depends on polarities of its smaller magnets!))

(202012126) Commented again on the same article:

Also, of course this is just my personal opinion but I absolutely disagree that what these experiments show/mean is really destruction of quantum information!

If any (real) quantum particle suddenly/simply/completely disappeared out of existence, that would be truly loss of quantum information!

But, IMHO, changing of internal state value(s) of any quantum particle (based on its environmental conditions) is not really mean any quantum information is lost or gained!

For example, consider a very simple model:

Imagine, a "particle", arbitrarily moving on a chessboard, that has a single bit of internal state variable & its value always gets set based on color of the square the "particle" is in!
So, as the particle keeps moving, the value of its state bit is keeps changing (as 0: black or 1: white)!

Is there really gain or loss of any (bit) of information anytime?
I think not!

(But, if the "particle" was suddenly/completely disappeared out of existence, that would be truly a loss of (1 bit of) information!)

"Healthy forests do more than just prevent wildfires"
https://www.popsci.com/story/environment/restoring-california-forests

IMHO, poor forest management (going back decades) is the MAIN cause of wildfires of CA; NOT climate change as some (shamelessly) claimed!
Also, "frequent small controlled fires" (which some advocate) is still a really bad/harmful/damaging solution (to animals for example)!
Best solution would be, cut/remove excess biomass & also try to find a good use for it (like producing biofuel and/or some useful material(s))!
Also, it would be a really good idea to do R&D (maybe by a government institution) to create a fully automated drone patrol system that can constantly tour over all forests & automatically detect all wildfires at very beginning (well before they can go out of control)!

https://www.quantamagazine.org/quantum-tunnel-shows-particles-can-break-the-speed-of-light-20201020

IMHO, to solve/understand all mysteries of QM, its only true interpretation/meaning needs to be understood/accepted first:
Our whole reality itself is a (certain/new kind of) quantum computer!
For example, what is the meaning/effect of measurement for a quantum computer? & an (conscious) observer is really necessary for a quantum computer measurement/computation?
Realize, this viewpoint would also imply, all particles are actually like moving clusters/variables of quantum data/information!
(For example, realize, electric & color charge & rest mass state of any particle could be hold/represented by just 1 qutrit each!)
What needs to be researched is, how many qutrits each particle has?
How exactly their data used/processed when a particle decays/collides?

"The World Needs Nuclear Power, And We Shouldn’t Be Afraid Of It"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/world-needs-and-42984867

WELL SAID Ethan!

IMHO, total energy usage of humanity is keep increasing exponentially (true?) & humanity keep going towards covering most of land/sea surface of Earth w/ solar & wind power plants would not be a really good/efficient idea! (& neither would be keep trying to force humanity to use little energy!)

IMHO, total energy usage of humanity is keep increasing for really good reasons/advancements/improvements & what we really need to do is, try to make it happen as best as possible!

IMHO, the ultimate goal should/must be humanity using only fusion power someday (& so no more any land/surface area waste for solar & wind power plants)!

But, in the meantime, we should/must keep building better & more advanced (& safer & less wasteful) fission power plants & solar & wind power plants as well! (& we also should/must try to produce biofuels (like bio-diesel) (using waste biomass from cleaning up forests for example) that can be used in many kinds of land/sea/air vehicles!)

IMHO, nuclear power plant tech (especially) is really a kind of tech that takes many decades to truly mature/improve! & as such, we should/must not get discouraged because of limitations/shortcomings of old tech we have seen/used!

Also, IMHO, all spent nuclear fuel created in the past, could be really useful in the future w/ right tech! Like, for example, by turning them to fuel for new tech nuclear power plants or even using them to produce nuclear batteries:
https://newatlas.com/energy/nano-diamond-self-charging-batteries-ndb

I think the main argument against building advanced nuclear reactors which could use the spent nuclear fuel waste (& turn it to harmless easily disposable kind waste), was that, "they would start/cause nuclear proliferation"! But IMHO the evidence shows, not building such reactors never stopped countries like North Korea & Iran!

Imagine that, (back in the 70s for example) if some people said "Cars/trucks are causing so much pollution! We should/must stop using them!" & so today we did not have autonomous electric cars/trucks, because whole world had switched to using horse carriages long ago!

(20201026) IMHO, the actual problem is not understanding/explaining (rest) masses of elementary particles but their energies!
Because, mass & energy are equivalent & (rest) energy of an elementary particle is the same, regardless of having a rest mass or not! & so, having a rest mass or not, for any elementary particle, is just like having a (quantum) number (state variable) that can be +1 (positive rest mass), 0 (no rest mass), -1 (negative rest mass)!
(& so it can be represented by a single qutrit (just like electric charge (+1, 0, -1) or color charge (R, G, B) also)!)

& for attempting to understanding/explaining (rest) energies of elementary particles, these should/must be done first:
1: What are the ratios of (rest) energies of all elementary particles against Planck (particle rest mass) energy (as integers)? (round((Planck (particle mass rest) energy) / ((rest) energy of the elementary particle)))
2: What maybe the discrete quantum/unit of energy itself? (Quite possibly Landauer limit of 0.0175 eV (2.805 zJ))
& what are the (rest) energies of all elementary particles in terms of the discrete quantum/unit of energy (as rounded integers)?
3: Is there any discernible order among the (sorted) integer sequences/sets from 1 and/or 2?

(20201027) For Elementary Particles of Standard Model:

Spin: 0, 1/2, 1 (same value/sign for anti-particles)
=> 1 qutrit is enough to represent spin state!

Charge: +1, +2/3, +1/3, 0, -1/3, -2/3, -1
=> 2 qutrits needed: Q0: 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 ; Q1: +, 0, -

Color Charge: +R, +G, +B, 0, -B, -G, -R
=> 2 qutrits needed: Q0: R, G, B ; Q1: +, 0, -

(20201031) IMHO, "spooky action at a distance" (in an instant) of quantum entanglement is actually just another (huge) evidence for our reality/universe being a quantum computer!
Is there really physical space/distance in a (quantum) computer simulation reality? (Realize, anything can instantly effect anything else, anywhere, in a (quantum) computer simulation reality (only depending on its (programming/computation) rules)!)

(20201104) Commented on the article:
"Using quantum properties of light to transmit information"
https://phys.org/news/2020-11-quantum-properties-transmit.html

IMHO, it is important to realize:

1: Quantum Computers are more powerful than Turing Machines (Classical Computers) because they can (really) instantly find the/a solution among all possibilities in certain situations (which Turing Machines cannot do in any situation)!

2: Our whole reality/universe itself is a certain type/design of quantum computer (which processes/computes (real/virtual) (elementary/composite) quantum particles like its qubit/qutrit registers! (& that is actually the only true meaning/interpretation of Quantum Mechanics!)

"No, Stephen Hawking’s Black Hole Information Paradox Hasn’t Been Solved"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/no-stephen-black-43557085

IMHO, the core problem causing "Black Hole Information Paradox" is, true (quantum (information)) nature of energy still being unknown!

If all forms of energy should/must be discrete/quantized, then, what is quantum/unit of energy itself?

I had read about various experiments in the past which were showing heat, vibration etc are actually quantized!
The huge question is this:
Can we really design any kind of experiment to show/prove quantum nature of energy itself?

(My guess is "Landauer limit" maybe the quantum/unit of all forms of energy!
From Wikipedia:
"the Landauer limit represents an energy of approximately 0.0175 eV, or 2.805 zJ")

(Realize that, if all forms of energy is quantum information (& also since energy for Hawking Radiation particles surely coming from the BH), then, there would be no "Black Hole Information Paradox" anymore!)

COLORS OF RAINBOW

IMHO:

What we call (visible) "light" is actually just a certain/narrow frequency range of electromagnetic waves!
& physical properties (frequency & phase & polarization & intensity) of electromagnetic waves (which also include radio/micro waves & infrared/ultraviolet light & x/gamma rays) do NOT actually include (any) COLOR!
The only reason we see any/all color(s) is because of certain biological structure of our eyes (which is also highly common among countless animal species of our world)!

My point is, colors of rainbow are absolutely/definitely natural/biological "design" & so nobody can really/actually claim "copyright" ownership of them!
& so, the fact that LGBTIQ people chose/use colors of rainbow as their symbol, absolutely/definitely does NOT mean, they have exclusive "copyright" ownership of them!
But, they surely can use RAINBOW FLAG (which is really a certain/special (human) design) as their exclusive symbol/flag!

Here is an example:
Think about Flag of France (which is a particular (human) design made of 3 bands of color: Red & White & Blue)!
Would it be right, if Country of France claimed exclusive copyright ownership of the colors Red & White & Blue?
Would it be right, if anybody used those 3 particular colors (on their clothing for example) to (automatically) assume/conclude,
(s)he must be French or (s)he must be trying to show support/admiration for French people?

& so, everyone can use the colors of rainbow, in any way they like, but as long as they do NOT use the RAINBOW FLAG, it should/must NOT be (automatically) assumed, they are doing it for LGBTIQ support reasons/goals!
For example, someone surely may use colors of rainbow, just for personal preference and/or fashion and/or symbols/support for diversity, optimism, idealism etc!

Naming stars, galaxies etc after names of certain people!
Naming elements after names of certain people!

"It’s Still Not Too Late To Fight COVID-19 Like A Scientist"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/its-still-not-to-41445344

IMHO, everybody will catch COVID-19, sooner or later, regardless of any kind of prevention attempts/measures!

What is really/most important is, to keep new infection numbers low enough to prevent hospitals from getting overwhelmed!
& as long as that is achieved, it is really a success
& whole economy & education system etc should/must be kept open/running, as much as possible (to minimize all damage to them)!

& so, IMHO, as long as new infection numbers stay low enough to prevent hospitals from getting overwhelmed, further restrictions would only really cause harm & no real benefit!
(For example, imagine, if the total population infection (& following total immunity) would normally take 1 year & instead, we pushed it to 2 years, because of more strict restrictions!
Then, it would just mean longer time of enduring more strict restrictions (& more harm to whole economy & education system etc)!)

Think of how rising dough/bread creates bubbles & (so) a web-like structure! & now imagine that, Dark Energy creates (keep growing) large bubbles of intergalactic voids & so the Cosmic Web!

(Imagine that, spacetime is a superfluid medium that made of (gas-like) virtual particles of quantum vacuum! & now imagine that, the Cosmic Web is made of denser spacetime superfluid (because of constant push from bubbles created by Dark Energy)!)

If you THINK, this view would easily explain:

Why a small percentage of galaxies appear to have no DM!
Why some galaxies could appear to have too much DM!

World history makes it very clear that, there is no such thing as any nation or group of people or person being the real/true/permanent owner(s) of any piece of land! (Consider how many times any piece of land exchanged owner(s) in (Central) Europe for example! Which one(s) were/are the real/true/permanent owner(s)?) So, if there is only 1 real/true/permanent land owner that is whole humanity & nobody else!

So, the only real/true land owner of WHOLE Australia is the Australian Government (at least currently)! IMHO, giving up legal ownership of Ayers Rock (AKA Uluru) to any group of people who closed access to tourists (& prevented/preventing lots of income) is a HUGE MISTAKE that needs to be corrected ASAP!

I want to add that, it is also very important (for all theoretical physicists) to be able to recognize, when a new physical theory fails some/all of these conditions, it maybe only because its still in very early stages of its development & NOT really because it is an incorrect theory!

For example, imagine if Einstein was just proposed the equivalence principle (which is the core idea that leads to General Relativity), for the first time, it could easily be dismissed by the whole community of theoretical physicists, by checking/demanding these 3 conditions!

Before LHC was built, there were concerns/fears about it may create a micro-BH!

It is really fortunate for us that any such micro-BH would be extremely short-lived/unstable! :-)

Because, I think that is actually the most promising next frontier for the whole science of (theoretical & experimental) physics:

Designing/building a whole new kind of accelerator/collider that creates micro-BHs (for Quantum-Relativity research/experiments)!
(By accelerating 2 micro (iron?) objects (w/ Planck mass) to relativistic speeds & colliding them (each time)!)

My prediction is, as the masses and/or collision speeds (kinetic energies) of the 2 colliding objects increased, for each new collision/experiment, it would be found that masses of the micro-BHs created are always integer multiples of Planck mass!
& so meaning/proving that BHs are made of Planck particles (which is quite probably the true final member of Standard Model)!

& not to mention, such an accelerator/collider would also verify/prove everything about Hawking & Unruh radiations & also everything about Neutron Stars (because (intentionally) slower collisions would create "micro-NS", instead of micro-BH)!

(So, all these are really good enough reasons or not, for humanity to really attempt to build such an accelerator/collider someday? :-)

So, what Einstein thought "were purely mathematical creations, not actual, physical objects" maybe not really black holes but actually singularities (objects w/ zero size & infinite density)???

Not to mention, known laws of physics are quite compatible w/ universe having a minimum size limit (Planck length) for any physical object!
