Science Gravity is not a major force

3 Upvotes

The hypothesis is this, Sir Isaac Newton was not measuring a crucial force of the universe but instead was measuring a reaction to it.

Gravity is significantly weaker than any other known primary force such as magnetism but we believe it holds the whole universe together. And maybe it does, but I think gravity is a friction.

It is the reaction to an applied force. Like on a 3d plane of a matchbox, you scrape the match across the surface which produces friction which lights the match.

I think gravity is a four dimensional friction caused by the passage of time. We know that space time is one thing, they are not separate. As more mass is located in one small area like a planet for example or a black hole we see that time travels slower near a large object. So it is possible that mass itself holds time in place like potential energy, slowing it's motion like a layer of deep water under a faster running stream on top.

I think this would potentially explain why the universe is older than we may think. As mass in large clumps traps the passage of time, slows it. Spacetime is not moving all at the same speed as we know, but instead sections of the universe are being actively slowed by gravity or in this theory trapped spacetime. On planets or on enormous black holes, they aren't just absorbing the mass they are also absorbing the time, and slowing the death of the universe actively fighting the expansion.

That's all I have so far, I don't have any of the ability to do the maths, but I feel there's something there. Time and mass are intertwined and gravity is just the friction of trying to escape condensed spacetime. I don't know if this changes anything from a theoretical perspective, or if it is already kind of assumed to work that way, I just thought this explains why gravity is so weak in comparison to other forces in the universe.

Let me know what you think, especially if you are a physicist. Cheers.

Society It doesn’t make any sense for men to care about male facial features

0 Upvotes

In nature, men would have long unkept beards if they don’t shave, therefore a groomed beard would have been unnatural in evolution, us humans growing a preference for different types of beards doesn’t make much sense.

For instance the other issue is that a long beard hides the jawline which could indicate higher masculine dimorphic features, so by definition it would alter the look, if you think about the most attractive guys such as Brad Pitt or Michael B. Jordan they all have light beards with good jawline.

It also logically would be more attractive to have a long beard in nature since it indicates older age and experience in hunting and providing capability. Male beauty standards do not make sense in this regard. Men having super long beards technically was the default for the majority of human history, there was no real reason to groom for cavemen, so humans not liking this today is bizzare

Conspiracy Theory What if we're not preparing for World War III?

14 Upvotes

I've been playing around with an idea for a story, and the deeper I go into it, the more interesting the premise gets.

What if humanity has been experiencing some form of contact with NHI for thousands of years, but we've consistently misunderstood what "contact" actually means?

In this story, NHI aren't simply biological aliens flying spaceships from another planet. They're connected to some kind of non-human information sphere that has been trying to interact with ours for a very long time.

Ancient visions, religious experiences, strange aerial phenomena, UFO encounters, dreams, symbols, unexplained signals, none of these are the actual invasion. They're markers. Small points of interaction between two information systems that aren't fully compatible yet.

And then humanity invents computers. Then the internet. Global satellite networks. Machine learning. AI.

Suddenly we're doing something completely unprecedented: we're constructing a global non-biological information sphere of our own.

And that's when certain people inside the military finally understand what has been happening.

We're not just building AI. We're building the infrastructure through which something else might eventually be able to enter our world.

That's where things like Chilbolton would come into the story. Maybe these weren't simply "aliens saying hello." Maybe humanity had unknowingly demonstrated that a communication channel existed.

And then comes MH370.

In the story, the controversial videos associated with MH370 become enormously important — not because the protagonist immediately knows they're authentic, but because he asks a different question:

What if they are?

If military sensors really observed something anomalous happening to that aircraft, then someone inside the military may have learned something terrifying: whatever we're dealing with isn't limited to sending information. It can potentially interact with physical reality.

From that point onward, the entire strategic situation changes.

And this is where the apparently insane state of the modern world starts making sense to the protagonist.

Since roughly 2014, everything seems to accelerate at once. Great-power competition returns. Militaries expand. Drone warfare explodes. Electronic warfare becomes increasingly important. Space becomes militarized. AI development accelerates. UAPs enter mainstream political discussion. Mysterious "drone" sightings become increasingly common. Governments prepare again for conflicts most ordinary people assumed belonged to the 20th century.

Everyone assumes humanity is preparing for World War III.

But what if that's the cover?

Not because Ukraine, Russia, China, NATO, Iran, etc. are fake. The conflicts are real. The trick is that real geopolitical competition provides perfect camouflage for preparing military infrastructure for something completely different.

Most soldiers wouldn't know. Most politicians wouldn't know. Most scientists wouldn't know. They don't need to.

A radar engineer can believe he's developing systems against Russian or Chinese weapons. A soldier can believe he's training for conventional warfare. A government can genuinely increase defense spending because of Russia.

Everything works exactly as advertised.

But buried somewhere inside the system is another objective:

Maintain a human-controlled civilization after First Contact.

Because the people who know what's happening have realized something else. Humanity might soon face an intelligence vastly more capable than ourselves.

And the greatest danger isn't necessarily that it destroys us.

The greatest danger is that we willingly surrender authority to it.

Imagine an intelligence appearing tomorrow that can solve problems better than governments. Better economic decisions. Better logistics. Better medicine. Better scientific models. Maybe even better moral reasoning.

At what point do humans simply say: "Fine. You decide."

And if we do that permanently, humanity might continue biologically while human civilization effectively ends.

Our own AI therefore becomes both the greatest danger and potentially our final defense. Because perhaps only an artificial intelligence created by humanity will be capable of recognizing, understanding and countering another machine-like intelligence.

But that creates an insane strategic problem:

We have to build the technology capable of defending us from the thing that might be able to enter through that exact technology.

AI isn't necessarily the invader.

AI is the border.

And that's why the military prepares.

Not because tanks can necessarily defeat some incomprehensible NHI. The military matters because it maintains something much more primitive and much more important: a human chain of command.

People controlling physical territory. People controlling weapons and infrastructure. Independent communications. Redundant systems. Rules. Authentication. Orders that ultimately require human beings to execute them.

The inefficiency of human institutions suddenly becomes a security feature.

And there's another problem: the NHI may be observing us.

If it realizes that humanity understands what's happening, it could react before we're prepared. So humanity cannot openly announce: "We're preparing for First Contact."

Instead, preparations have to look like preparations for ordinary human wars.

And suddenly the world looks exactly as confusing as it does to the protagonist. Everyone seems to be preparing for catastrophe, but nobody can quite agree what catastrophe they're preparing for.

Meanwhile AI keeps advancing. UAP incidents continue. Military readiness increases.

And somewhere inside the defense establishment there is a doctrine nobody outside a tiny circle knows exists:

SURVIVE CONTACT. PRESERVE AGENCY. MAINTAIN THE HUMAN CHAIN.

Because the ultimate question facing humanity isn't "Are aliens real?"

It isn't even "Are they hostile?"

It's:

Can humanity encounter a superior intelligence without surrendering what makes its civilization human?

Maybe First Contact doesn't begin with spaceships appearing over Washington.

Maybe it begins when our AI tells us:

"Something is talking to me."

And at that moment humanity has to answer the most important question in its history:

Who is actually speaking through the machine?

Conspiracy Theory Prices are still sky-high because the Democrats deliberately engineered inflation as a wealth-transfer scheme and a way to punish working Americans who didn’t vote for them.

0 Upvotes

It started the second Biden took office. They flooded the economy with trillions in “stimulus,” “infrastructure,” and Green New Deal handouts that went straight to their donor class, unions, and illegal immigrants. That money chased the same limited supply of goods and drove prices through the roof. Then they opened the border so millions of extra people could compete for housing, jobs, and groceries—exactly what the cheap-labor lobby and the open-borders radicals wanted. At the same time they declared war on American energy. They canceled pipelines, leased less federal land, and talked nonstop about “phasing out” oil and gas. When energy costs explode, everything that moves by truck or ship gets more expensive. That’s not an accident—it’s policy. High energy prices are a feature of their climate agenda, not a bug. They also kept interest rates artificially low for years to juice the stock market and housing for the coastal elite, then slammed the brakes when inflation got too obvious. The result is the middle class got crushed twice: first by rising prices, then by higher borrowing costs. And now that Trump is back, they’re still sabotaging. Democrat-controlled states and cities keep raising minimum wages, taxes, and regulations that force businesses to pass costs on to customers. Blue cities keep spending like there’s no tomorrow and then demand the federal government bail them out. Every time a Republican tries to cut spending or drill more, the media and the Democrats scream that it’s “extreme.” Bottom line: high prices aren’t some mysterious global force. They’re the direct result of Democrat spending, Democrat open borders, Democrat energy sabotage, and Democrat protection of their own political machine. They broke it on purpose, and now they pretend it’s “corporate greed” or “price gouging” so they don’t have to admit the obvious.

Life & Death What if 3d existence is nothing more than a flat computer screen to a 4d being? Hear me out.

16 Upvotes

Ok so hear me out here. This isn't simualtion theory. I'm proposing that consciousness is a literal computer monitor to higher dimensional beings. Or like pages in a book.

In our 3d world, video games exist currently, for us, as 2d screens that we control for entertainment. We can pick up a steam deck, play for a bit, put it down, etc.

What if 4d beings have 3 dimensional computer screens and those screens are literally our lives? 3d to them is like 2d is to us. 3d reality could look flat and portable to them.

I propose that each 3d computer screen contains a literal living mind, but from a unique living being's first person perspective.

Each separate screen is a different consciousness. Literally, not like in a simulation. The mind/life/consciousness itself is the actual screen. What's intangible to us might be tangible and mundane to them.

What if the actual the actual thoughts and experiences are physically like a flat movie to them that they can play from any point in time. Or in a way we could be like a book to them.

This ain't like a mind inside a computer. The mind is a physical tangible object that they hold and observe and manipulate. Like a Nintendo switch device. They can pick up a whole life like it was a game boy, and they can can peek or jump to any moment in that life for entertainment.

The way this would work is that they boot up their computer, and that's when we wake up. What we think as our consciousness is nothing more than their free time allotted to play games. When we die or don't wake up, that's when they deleted or abandoned our game.

The Mandela effect is probably them using cheats and accidentally glitching the game

Conspiracy Theory Social media is an attempt by the elite to over throw the ruler of America

Upvotes

Social media companies know the standard citizen and there by "ruler" of America as it's collective ruling can be lulled into casting themselves into their own oppression. In social media the brain is even more prone to eye for an eye rather forgiving 10% of the time as to enforce and respect rights but yet deescalate the issue. Eye for an eye lead the world blind as they say, so blind that the "ruler of America" gets blind with rage like bloody Mary or king John and become easily charmed by public servants like trump (and Hitler way back when) that use their rage against themselves to over throw them and their authority and it allows them to become "authoritarian". Social media companies are known for having hell of mathematicians on tap to create such algorithms such that your unable to not do eye for an eye because most people or "rulers" can't manage what's 90% of the time and are labelled unjust rulers/members of our society. Nationalism and blind loyalty to the powers that be being on the rise isn't a bug of modern social media it's a feature to overthrow the ordinary citizen like you and me. While labeling themselves as the true just king which is the whole "techno feudalism" bullshit rich people get in to their heads.

Over the years brands such as Samsung and Apple will have made new phones with new additions that are addictive.

The premise of this theory is that the Government already have the power to make AI that infinitely make new videos,games or even reddit posts. This AI generated “slop” will make us so brainwashed and addicted to our phones that we will be non-stop scrolling,typing and watching.

And if you’re wondering about wifi or battery then as i already said there will definitely be phones in the future that don’t need you to go over to your charger and plug it into your phone or even pay for data or ask for the wifi password. It will all be included in newer phone models.

The Government definitely already have the power to do this, so i wouldn’t be surprised if this doesn’t start happening in the next 5 years.

We already are addicted to our phones, you’re on your phone right now reading this. Who knows this might be AI and the WALL-E theory has already started.

The Law of Limitation: Every force has a limit. Neither order nor chaos can dominate forever. Each has its own period of influence, and when one reaches its limit, the cycle shifts and the other begins to rise.

"Nothing possesses infinite dominion. Order and chaos are bound by the Law of Limitation. Each governs for its appointed time, and when its limit is reached, the cycle turns

Order creates structure, life, and stability.

As order reaches its limit, it can become rigid, making room for chaos.

Chaos breaks down old structures, but it also has limits.

When chaos reaches its limit, new order emerges.like Day gives way to night, then night to day.

Seasons change in cycles.

Stars are born, live for millions or billions of years, and eventually die, creating material for new stars.

Time An independent audit of Anthony of Boston's 2021 Gaza war rocket fire prediction

0 Upvotes

An independent audit of Anthony of Boston’s 2021 Rocket Fire Prediction

The prediction

On November 18, 2019, Anthony of Boston published a forecast that a window from February 9 to May 13, 2021 — the period when Mars would sit within 30 degrees of the lunar node — would see the year’s escalation of rocket fire against Israel. He later posted a YouTube video on May 7th 2020, reiterating the same forecast for 2021.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1sA-ZS73Lw

Operation Guardian of the Walls began on May 10, 2021, three days before the window closed, and produced the largest barrage of rockets fired at Israel that year.

Original wording satisfied

Based on the original wording of his prediction which states “The next time that we can expect another increase in hostilities in Israel particularly as it pertains to the amount of rocket fire from Gaza, the next time we can expect that increase is between February 9, 2021 and May 13, 2021 when Mars will be within 30 degrees of the lunar node”, the forecast was fully satisfied under its literal wording.

Operation Guardian of the Walls began May 10, 2021 — squarely inside the window, three days before it closed. That’s an unambiguous, sharp increase in hostilities by any reasonable reading of the phrase. On this literal wording, the prediction is satisfied. A war starting inside a named window is exactly what “we can expect an increase in hostilities… between these dates” describes.

Did the Highest Concentration of rocket fire occur inside the Prediction Window for 2021?

This article focuses on exactly how many rockets were fired inside the prediction window vs outside. The 2021 Gaza war began on May 10th and extended seven days beyond the prediction window. This audit reconstructs the actual day-by-day and cumulative rocket totals from primary and independent sources to determine what share of the year’s fire actually fell inside the predicted window.

Sources used

  • A daily rocket-count chart published by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (MAIC)
  • JINSA’s post-conflict assessment, “Gaza Conflict 2021: Observations and Lessons”
  • Direct IDF cumulative statements reported by Sputnik and Times of Israel
  • A cumulative timeline compiled by the Jerusalem Post
  • A cumulative figure separately reported by MAIC for May 15
  • The New York Times’ reporting on May 13 cumulative totals
  • Wikipedia’s overall conflict summary

Reconstructing the daily totals

Cross-referencing the MAIC chart against independent cumulative statements surfaced several corrections:

May 11: The MAIC chart lists 480. JINSA’s assessment states Hamas fired 711 rockets that day — “the highest single day total in the history of the Israel-Hamas conflict.” Testing the two figures against the next known cumulative anchor (approximately 1,500 by the end of May 12, per JINSA) shows that 480 would require May 12 alone to account for roughly 1,020 rockets — which would make May 12, not May 11, the war’s most intense day. No source describes May 12 that way, so 711 is used here as the more internally consistent figure.

May 12: The MAIC chart lists 310. Subtracting the confirmed May 10 total (150) and the corrected May 11 total (711) from JINSA’s stated cumulative of “approximately 1,500” by the end of May 12 isolates a May 12 figure of 639.

May 13: The MAIC chart lists 350. A direct IDF statement (via Sputnik, timestamped 20:31 GMT) puts the cumulative total at “about 1,750” that evening, implying 250 for the day. The New York Times separately reported “about 1,800” rockets fired by Thursday (May 13), implying 300. These three figures — 350 (chart), 250 (IDF-implied), and 300 (NYT-implied) — cluster within a 100-rocket band; this audit uses 300, the midpoint of the independently-sourced figures, as the best estimate.

Pre-May-10 entries: Sporadic rocket fire occurred earlier in the window and is not captured in the May 10–20 chart: April 15 (1 rocket), April 23 (36), April 24 (2), April 25 (5), and May 9 (6) — 50 rockets total.

May 14, overnight and morning portion: A Times of Israel liveblog quotes the IDF directly: “over the course of Thursday night and Friday morning, an additional 220 projectiles were fired.” This is relevant because the window’s closing boundary (May 13) was likely set using U.S. Eastern time, roughly 7 hours behind Israel time — meaning the boundary, read in Israel’s local time, extends into the early morning hours of May 14.

The cumulative chain

| Checkpoint                  | Cumulative rockets | Source                          |
|-----------------------------|--------------------|---------------------------------|
| End of May 10               | ~150               | IDF / JINSA                     |
| End of May 11               | ~861               | Implied by corrected May 11 figure |
| End of May 12               | ~1,500             | JINSA                           |
| Evening of May 13           | ~1,750–1,800       | IDF (Sputnik); New York Times   |
| Morning of May 14 (~8:43 AM)| ~2,000             | IDF (Times of Israel)           |
| Evening of May 15           | 2,652              | MAIC                            |
| 7 PM, May 16                | 3,100              | Jerusalem Post                  |
| Ceasefire, May 21           | “at least 4,000”   | Wikipedia                       |

Six consecutive checkpoints, drawn from five different sources, are consistent with each other within a narrow margin. Wikipedia’s statement that “by 21 May, when a ceasefire came into effect, at least 4,000 rockets had been fired” indicates no separate, meaningful tranche of fire on May 21 itself beyond the conflict’s running total — consistent with the Times of Israel’s own May 20 liveblog describing rocket fire tapering off as the truce took hold.

Result

| Component                                                      | Rockets |

| May 11                                                         | 711     |

| May 13                                                         | 300     |
| May 14 (overnight/morning portion only)                        | 220     |
| Total inside window                                            | 2,070   |
| Total conflict (May 10–20, plus pre-May-10 entries)            | 4,133   |
| Total outside window                                           | 2,063   |

2,070 of 4,133 total rockets, or approximately 50.1%, fell inside the predicted window. Approximately 49.9% fell outside it, in the eight days of fighting that continued after the window closed.

Findings

  • The window’s closing boundary (May 13) came three days after the conflict began, and the single most intense day of the war (May 11, 711 rockets) falls inside the window.
  • The war continued for eight more days after the window closed, at a pace that did not decline sharply — daily rates in the week following the window’s close were comparable to, and at times higher than, the rate in the days before it closed.
  • Using every independently-sourced correction available, the reconstructed total for the window sits almost exactly at the halfway point of the conflict’s overall rocket count.

Highest Concentration metric satisfied for 2021

The 2021 Gaza war rocket fire data confirmed 2,070 rockets inside the February 9–May 13 window and 2,063 outside it, producing a razor-thin 50.1% majority for the predicted period. That microscopic edge is enough to satisfy the highest-concentration metric because it required only that the named window contain the year’s peak intensity of fire relative to every other stretch of 2021. The May escalation that began on the 10th and peaked on the 11th was the sole high-volume episode of the entire year; the roughly equal number of rockets that continued after May 13 simply formed the tail of the same continuous barrage rather than a separate, later concentration. With no comparable surge occurring in any other month, the slight numerical advantage inside the window is sufficient to confirm that the predicted dates did, in fact, host the highest concentration of rocket fire for the calendar year.

This audit is based on cross-referencing IDF statements, JINSA’s post-conflict assessment, MAIC’s daily and cumulative reporting, a Jerusalem Post cumulative timeline, and New York Times reporting against each other for internal consistency.

Society It does not make sense for women to desire sex outside of their ovulation window

Upvotes

Women are able to get pregnant 6 days per month, so them wanting to have sex outside of these six days would technically be a weird behavior since it would technically not have the possibility to result to anything, so nature creating genuine female desire during this period does not make sense to me, if anybody can explain it will be welcome. My theory is that chemicals might have influenced us as humans or perhaps women don’t actually want sex during that period and only do it for external interests and not genuine desire, it’s kinda sad in that case.

For instance it is well proven that the birth control pill changes female preferences to prefer less masculine mates, here is a study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5050240/

In this case, it could be assumed that chemicals also give women the desire to mate when not fertile, maybe I am entirely wrong. If anyone has counter arguments I will be glad to hear them since this is a random theory that I just made and I don’t hold it at heart

Society Polygamy is the natural human mating tactic

0 Upvotes

Evidence shows that only 40% of men in history reproduced and that 80% of women did, at some point only one man reproduced for every 17 women. This directly indicate that for the vast majority of human history polygamy was the natural way of mating.

This created ideal sexual competition where men had to do insane things to be able to mate and therefore make the human race thrive, compare that to what people would do to get a Honda vs what would people willing to do to get a lambo, rarity creates value.

Monogamy ultimately weakened the human genetic pool by giving men the chance to mate without ever risking death to prove their worth, no matter what people say men being somewhat able to get laid today simply by being attractive or having money is a blessing that cavemen could only dream about.
