15:36 <@unixfg> or think you has a flavor, at least
15:36 <@Sheath> fuk lolcats
15:36 <@unixfg> Sheath: I wouldn't put it past you
15:36 < Mercster> thats not true
15:36 <@Dagmar> Well, I caught someone _else's_ lost kitty this morning
15:36 <@Sheath> unixfg, what are you trying to say
15:36 < Mercster> cats do not love you
15:37 <@Sheath> since im a furry that automatically makes me a zoophile?
15:37 <@unixfg> Sheath: yes.
15:37 <@Dagmar> Yeah they're just saying that to get me in bed, I'm sure
15:37 < Mercster> cats see you as a large heat-emitting food source
15:37 <@Sheath> fuck you how fucking rude
15:40 <@Dagmar> Luckily I remembered who this kitty belonged to because I met 'em about three weeks ago
15:41 <@Dagmar> So...
15:41 <@Dagmar> At least I know I can make 8-year old girls very happy
15:41 <@Dagmar> heh
15:41 < Mercster> :|
15:45 <@Dagmar> I feel better about this one since, based on her reaction, I can tell she cared about the kitty

19:27 <@Dagmar> Well it is!
19:27 <@Shadow404> i know
19:27 <@Dagmar> I should know better than to attempt simple math unassisted.
19:27 <@Shadow404> i just like slapping you
19:28 <@Shadow404> but what about space time?
19:28 < Mercster> what about TIMECUBE
19:28 <@Dagmar> I'm workin on that
19:28 <@Dagmar> I suck at the math that uses to

19:29 <@Shadow404> Dagmar: in rl, i would love to chat in length about it, voip, in person, etc
19:29 <@Dagmar> I'm pretty sure the collapse of eigenstates are what actually makes time
19:29 <@Shadow404> again, my offer on table
19:29 <@Dagmar> Well, if you're at PN we can definitely do that then
19:29 <@Shadow404> yeah
19:30 <@Shadow404> i plan to be this year
19:30 <@Shadow404> due the the -minus skydog factor, im in
19:30 <@Dagmar> When the idea hit me (in the shower) I (for obvious reasons) couldn't write it down
19:30 <@Dagmar> It took me days to figure out wtf epiphany I'd had
19:30 <@Dagmar> It would explkain why simply _observing_ an eigenstate can cause it to change
19:30 <@Shadow404> heh, sorta like getting high
19:31 <@Dagmar> Shit
19:31 <@Shadow404> and having an actuall good idea
19:31 < Mercster> :|
19:31 <@Dagmar> YEah I was thinking this is the sort of shit I used to come up with on LSD
19:31 <@Shadow404> well yeah, we effect the present
19:31 <@Shadow404> sop we effect the future
19:31 <@Dagmar> I'm not sure "present" really has context there
19:31 <@Shadow404> its obvious
19:31 <@Shadow404> well, its the fabric we effect
19:31 <@Shadow404> ok wait a sec
19:31 <@Dagmar> Our existance is sort of riding the probability wave of collectively collapsing eigenstates
19:31 <@Shadow404> got a question for you
19:32 <@Shadow404> eistengate what about large objects gravity effect space time?
19:32 <@Dagmar> I'm still trying to come up with ANY sort of test
19:32 -!- epoxy [~ls3@71-15-26-216.dhcp.hlrg.nc.charter.com] has joined #se2600
19:32 <@Shadow404> well, we prove space time in theorty exist
19:32 <@Dagmar> Shadow404: Beyond the more dense set of eigenstates?
19:32 <@Shadow404> as it can be warped and measured
19:32 <@Shadow404> the nasa experiemtn with super sensitive gyros
19:33 <@Dagmar> This would even explain the weirdness that happens when shit leaves the solar system and appears to speed up for no good reason
19:33 <@Shadow404> the precise radio telementy timing of probes to planets
19:33 < Mercster> Dagmar: how do you feel about eigenstates
19:33 <@Dagmar> Without a chain of eigenstates to communicate those effects, time can become more loosely connected between places over distance, provided there's a lot of nothing in between
19:34 <@Dagmar> Now the real question becomes whether or not you can separate things with a sort of large heisenburgian container, and get differing average states of entropy (eigenstate collapse)
19:34 <@Dagmar> THEN you could do something weird
19:34 <@Dagmar> LIke maybe actually appear to violate causailty
19:34 <@Dagmar> er causality
19:35 <@Dagmar> That one's a stretch, I know
19:35 <@Shadow404> so, change history?
19:35 <@Dagmar> But follow along a moment... If you've got two systems (or create the second by total separation of causality) and the rate of entropy isn't fixed...
19:36 <@Shadow404> in eigenstate theory, can there be a way to move forward with our body, or only backwards?
19:36 <@Dagmar> ...and say, the smaller one can be coerced into decaying more slowly, you'd actually lag behind your initial environment
19:36 <@Shadow404> well, thats been proved dagmar
19:36 <@Shadow404> it has in rl
19:36 <@Shadow404> atmoic lcocks carried by space station astronauts
19:36 <@Dagmar> So you could let local "time" run along it's merry way for awhile, and then exploit that differential when you rejoin the previous collective state
19:37 <@Shadow404> a few ms slower than earth when they come back down
19:37 <@Shadow404> why? because, the warping of space time
19:37 <@Dagmar> It would also explain some shit with respect to strangeness in BIg Bang research
19:37 <@Shadow404> due to the gravity diffrences
19:38 <@Dagmar> I don't think it's gravity doing that unless gravity bringing those individual eigenstates closer to one another causes a pitch shift like can be seen with sound through differing densities of gas
19:38 <@Dagmar> If I figure this shit out tho I'm buying some goddamn lottery tickets
19:38 <@Dagmar> Funding time research should never be a problem once you've got a workable model
19:38 <@Dagmar> :D
19:39 <@Shadow404> thats the idea
19:40 <@Shadow404> gravity forces matter closer, creating warping
19:40 <@Shadow404> eigenstates, would explain the fabric itself
19:40 <@Dagmar> Meh.  Matter is a fiction
19:40 <@Shadow404> well, in the sense as we know it
19:41 <@Shadow404> it would explain what is being warped
19:41 <@Dagmar> It was an LSDism but I'm still fairly certain that matter is just space all squished up with a phase transition
19:41  * Mercster stares
19:41 <@Shadow404> if matter didnt exist, why do we react upon dense objects?
19:41 <@Dagmar> Mercster: You remember phase changes from chemistry, right?
19:41 <@Shadow404> Mercster: goto bed, its past your bed time?
19:42 <@Dagmar> To pull some COMPLETELY bullshit numbers out of the air, let's say it takes ten miles of space all squished up to make one hydrogen atom
19:42 <@Shadow404> ok, by comparison, its possible for the amopunt of space in our universe, and when i say our universe, i mean our instance
19:42 <@Dagmar> The energy required to translocate through the space is more or less the same as to crush that out of the way
19:43 <@Shadow404> so comparable to a black hole?
19:43 <@Shadow404> or the dwarfs of ones like a worm hole?
19:43 <@Dagmar> ...with the phase transition energy stored from it's change from "space" to "matter" being the thing that makes it simpler for "matter" to work another way around, so you get displacement instead of a massive violation of physics
19:44 < Mercster> yeah, i remember my first scientific american article
19:46 <@Dagmar> Mercster: So imagine that if you took space and applied force enough to it to compress it (how is sort of beyond this) so that at a certain point, it hits a phase transition and goes from "empty" to "solid" and reaches a new state of stability in that mode
19:47 < Mercster> whoooaaaa duuuuuude
19:48 <@Dagmar> I've given up finding a way to do that, because I'm still a bit stuck looking for a lever to pry with
19:48 <@Dagmar> Gravity is as good a culprit as any at this point tho
19:48 <@Dagmar> ...but I suspect it's as much the force behind it as it may be a side effect.
19:49 <@Dagmar> It might sidestep the entire thing and be both slightly ahead and slightly behind our current collective set of eigenstates tho
19:49 <@Shadow404> so, the force of a collapsing star is what im geting at man
19:49 <@Shadow404> thats the strongest force to man we know of
19:49 <@Dagmar> ...which sort of turns back around into the Juggalo cry of "Magnets!  How do they work!??!" which I think is a bad place to be.  heheh
19:50 < Mercster> that video is riot. did you see the SNL send-up?
19:50 <@Dagmar> Hehe nah
19:50 <@Dagmar> They could be onto something by sheer luck tho
19:51 <@Dagmar> Shadow404: All I know of that for certain is that it definitely bends rules because by all accounts those things shouldn't be able to compress that much
19:51 < Mercster> i think you're an arm-chair physicist who is spouting a lot of english language with no consideration for the mathematics involved
19:51 < Mercster> which of course is the foundation of any physical theory
19:51 <@Dagmar> It's gotta be going somewhere, and I suspect that somewhere is slightly out of alignment with the rest of the universe
19:51 <@Dagmar> Mercster: The math actually mostly works
19:51 < Mercster> i appreciate that what you're doing is fun, but i have nothing to say about it, since it's just a bunch of mental masturbation
19:52 <@Dagmar> WHat I *don't* have is a "lever" to use to actually begin experimenting
19:52 < Mercster> using the wrong technique to get at a problem
19:52 < Mercster> a problem i fully accept that i cannot understand
19:52 <@Dagmar> I'm serious tho.  You can computer matter as a function of space just fine
19:52 < Mercster> because its just too much fucking math.
19:52 < Mercster> computer math as a function of space?
19:52 <@Dagmar> It goes straight into n-dimensional shit tho
19:53 < Mercster> s/math/matter
19:53 <@Dagmar> Yes.  THat's Einstien's rubber sheet in a nutshell.
19:54 <@Dagmar> If spaces contracted by a gravity field, travel through warped space and travel through a gravity field become the same thing
19:54 <@Dagmar> s/spaces/space is/
19:54 <@Shadow404> i like the rubber sheets
19:54 <@Shadow404> teheheh
19:54 < Mercster> the one with suns in it, causing the balls to fall inward?
19:54 <@Dagmar> lol
19:54 <@Dagmar> Mercster: Yes
19:54 < Mercster> the old space-as-a-fabric thing?
19:54 < Mercster> yes, im well aware that it attempts to explain gravity
19:54 <@Shadow404> Dagmar: pm
19:55 <@Dagmar> Well, considewring tat we're stuckin 3-dimensional space like Flatlanders going "WTF" at a cone
19:55 < Mercster> ya, totally bro
19:55 < Mercster> i need some of the weed you're smoking
19:55 <@Dagmar> Maybe so
19:55 < Mercster> then i'd be on top of it
19:55 <@Shadow404> well, going out to get warp juice, alcohol
19:56 <@Shadow404> bbiab
19:56 <@Dagmar> Being stuck in thinking that space is just "the place things are not" is a serious hindrance
19:56 <@Dagmar> A little integral calculus makes it much easier to deal with
19:56 < Mercster> Dagmar: sounds like you ought to be reading philosophy, rather than arm-chair explanation of physics that soun neat but are only vague approximations of the actual science at work
19:57 <@Dagmar> NOt using "arm-chair" explanations
19:57 < Mercster> Dagmar: ever read any heidegger?
19:57 <@Dagmar> I've actually been following the research into eigenstates pretty closely
19:57 <@Dagmar> Wading through boring as FUCK papers
19:57 < Mercster> yes ive seen you say eigenstates a lot
19:57 < Mercster> ive never heard of them
19:57 < Mercster> i dont keep up
19:57 <@Dagmar> You know what an eigenstate is, right?
19:58 < Mercster> nope
19:58 <@Dagmar> An eigenstate is (very much abstracted) the probability that a given particle is in a given space at a given time
19:58 < Mercster> so its not a state but a probability
19:58 < Mercster> is this quantum theory?
19:58 <@Dagmar> When we look THAT damn close, we start seeing that it's really actually partly-here and partly-there, because these tiny ass particles just don't really "exist" in a concrete state
19:59 <@Dagmar> Yes, it's all about quantum theory
19:59 <@Dagmar> ...which just now we're doing hideously expensive experiments to look at
19:59 < Mercster> ok then i understand it on a conceptual level. no particle can be measured to be at one place or one time specifically, and the two metrics are mutually exlusive
20:00 < Mercster> so what you end up with is a probability wave
20:00 <@Dagmar> Wikipedia even has (lol) pictures of them.  Oversimplified of course but they get the idea across
20:00 <@Dagmar> Yes!
20:00 < Mercster> and when the wave collapses mathematically, there is a particle
20:00 <@Dagmar> A few moments in the future, the particle doesn't really exist yet because it doesn't actually intersect with the set of planes we're in
20:00 < Mercster> im very familiar with all this. that doesnt mean i understand it :) it's mathematics
20:01 <@Dagmar> So it "exists" entirely in potential until a very specific point, i.e., "now"
20:01 < Mercster> well if you follow quantum mechanics down the rabbit hole, it stans to reason that every one of the subatomic particles that are around us, and that make us up, is continually nihiliating itself and then reappearing
20:02 <@Dagmar> When we actaually look directly at it, we can only see it as it intersects our planes and is basically as concrete as we are
20:02 < Mercster> it's a function of the dimension of time
20:02 <@Dagmar> Yes, there you go.  This is why I'm figuring that as eigenstates collapse, we get "time"
20:02 < Mercster> well, listen
20:02 < Mercster> i dont know much about it
20:02 < Mercster> ive only read some arimchair shit
20:03 <@Dagmar> It's their transition from potential and non-intersecting, to concreteness and intersection with our existance in the classic three dimensions
20:03 < Mercster> 'a brief history of time', 'the dancing wu-li masters'
20:03 <@Dagmar> Those are as good a place to start as any I've seen
20:03 < Mercster> i dont care anymore, really :)
20:03 < Mercster> i think its all a sort of "get 1 answer, get 10 more questions" situation
20:03 <@Dagmar> There's an easier/simpler experiment about those
20:03 < Mercster> im glad it goes on
20:04 < Mercster> im not opposed to it
20:04 <@Dagmar> One being the light-through-slits thing
20:04 < Mercster> i study history, civilization
20:04 <@Dagmar> ...but the other simply being taking a photo and projecting it on the wall
20:04 < Mercster> geopolitics
20:04 < Mercster> national politics
20:04 <@Dagmar> When the image is focused, you get nice clean edges
20:04 < Mercster> war
20:04 < Mercster> those are the things i study
20:04 <@Dagmar> Move the focal length in front of or behind the plane you're projecting it on, and you get blur
20:05 < Mercster> i feel i have the capacity to understand something of them
20:05 < Mercster> physics is too much math
20:05 < Mercster> i can parrot whats been explained to me in english
20:05 < Mercster> but the equations themselves are beyond me
20:05 <@Dagmar> Same shit is being projected, it's just not converging on the plane that intersects the projected cone
20:06 < Mercster> you should put this all one a webpage ala TIMECUBE
20:06 < Mercster> it would be hilarious
20:06 <@Dagmar> Well, you can't do integral math in your head like a chinese autistic kid, but you can *catch a baseball* which is the same shit
20:06 < Mercster> http://www.timecube.com/
20:07 <@Dagmar> Well, I could put it on WIkipedia but without a lever to do experiments with, I'm no better off than the noob technicians in Oslo, and no research budget to test things
20:08 <@Dagmar> So, for now, I have to settle with reading up on other people's research and seeing if my theories fit in with their experimental model
20:09 < Mercster> hah well, ill give you this, wikipedia is shit
20:09 <@Dagmar> Nah, it's as accurate as the body of users will let it be
20:09 <@Dagmar> ...which, driven by a large body of obsessive-compulsives, isn't too shabby
20:09 < Mercster> trying to put something on there is a ridiculous effort of herculean patience and enough time to sit around sword-dicking with trolls`
20:10 < Mercster> there's plenty on there that's ok
20:10 <@Dagmar> If anything the burden of proof on most stuff there is a bit too strict to deal with rare occurrences
20:10 <@Dagmar> LIke, when I was a kid in high school, I saw something on a satellite "wild feed" that made me almost shit my pants
20:11 <@Dagmar> I was watching the video feed of an equipment check prior to Reagan doing a national address.

20:11 <@Dagmar> Reagan had a slightly warped sense of humor (whichis fine) and he recycled a joke he'd made a few years before
20:12 <@Dagmar> During a sound check for NPR he'd made a joke about outlawing Russia and that nukes would be dropping in a few minutes
20:12 <@Dagmar> That mic was live, and several people in the studio about shit themselves but it wasn't broadcast
20:12 <@CRasH180> hahaha
20:13 <@CRasH180> oops?
20:13 <@Dagmar> So like, I'm at home, about three months after the shuttle explosion when I was unfortunately watching THAT live...
20:13 <@Dagmar> ...and Reagan is sitting there behind his desk and makes that *same joke* again, but this time, obviously, it fucking went out over satellite
20:13 < Mercster> yeah i remember the reagan joke
20:13 <@Dagmar> WP has no documentation of that, and I have no correlating evidence of any kind other than my first-hand seeing it
20:14 < Mercster> im also pretty sure i saw the shuttle explosion at school. but i dont remember, frankly
20:14 <@Dagmar> So I can't actually put that in there as fact.
20:14 < Mercster> i do remember 9/11
20:14 < Mercster> i remember 9/11 with crystal clarity
20:14 < Mercster> that was a weird day
20:14 <@Dagmar> All I've got is the testimony of another friend of mine who was also watching the shuttle explosion
20:14 < Mercster> see, my car happened to die on me outside my work building that morning
20:14 < Mercster> so i left it in the little access road next to work
20:15 <@Dagmar> I practically LEAPT at the phone, but by the time I'd gotten John on the horn, Reagan was already apologizing for freaking people out
20:15 <@Dagmar> Mercster: Someone decided it was a bomb?
20:15 < Mercster> well, in my building was an FBI floor and an IRS floor
20:15 <@Dagmar> OH JOY
20:15 < Mercster> and it just so happens this is 9/11
20:15 < Mercster> i get in, everyone's takling about it
20:15 < Mercster> we're looking at the news
20:15 < Mercster> and then i realise where my car is
20:16 < Mercster> so i got out there and there's like 5-6 rentacops surrounding it
20:16 < Mercster> and sirens
20:16 < Mercster> and im like ITS MY CAR, ITS MY CAR
20:16 <@Dagmar> Hahaha
20:16 < Mercster> so i showed id and we got the car towed
20:17 < Mercster> and i went home and watched the 2nd tower fall
20:17 <@Dagmar> I'm sure they werne't happy with the explanation of "WELL IT WASNT AN ISSUE WHEN I PARKED IT THERE" wasn't woring so well
20:17 < Mercster> well i dont blame them man
20:17 < Mercster> it was a fucked up morning
20:17 <@Dagmar> I wouldnt fault them either
20:17 <@Dagmar> Everyone was freaked that day
20:17 < Mercster> yup
20:17 < Mercster> my world changed
20:17 <@Dagmar> I was giving low-flying planes the stink-eye for weeks
20:18 < Mercster> lots of peoples' did
20:18 < Mercster> heh
20:18 <@Dagmar> Even the Blue Angels caused a vertiable panic that year when they did their annual Buzzing Of San Francisco
20:18 <@Dagmar> We were like OH FUCK THERE'S JETS EVERYWHERE
20:19 <@Dagmar> Oh... There's an airshow?
20:19 <@Dagmar> *facepalm*
20:19 < Mercster> eh im pretty close to an airport
20:19 < Mercster> there's always shit flying off
20:19 <@Dagmar> Well, every year the BLue Angels do an airshow over the Bay
20:19 <@Dagmar> Prior to that they do a lot of flying low over San Fran to show off
20:19 < Mercster> yeah
20:19 < Mercster> prolly a lil loud
20:20 <@Dagmar> Yeah
20:20 <@Dagmar> That and suddenly seeing a squadron of military jets flying back and forth makes you just rush to the nearest TV to check things out
20:20 < Mercster> "shit's poppin' off!"
20:21 <@Dagmar> Yep
20:21 <@Dagmar> I was googling for shelter locations
20:21 <@Dagmar> Like, "yay theres one the next block over!"
20:25 < Mercster> eh, my apt building is like a sehlter
20:25 < Mercster> on a hill, cinderblock and steel
20:25 < Mercster> i just need a nice firearm
20:26 < Mercster> sawed of 12 gauge
20:26 < Mercster> s/of/off
20:27 <@Dagmar> Whoo...  SUn is fully down
20:28 <@Dagmar> I can ride home without it IN MY DAMN EYES
20:28 < Mercster> you know what i did the other week
20:28 < Mercster> saw the ISS
20:28 <@Shadow404> i cant tell tonight, been nothing but storms dark since 2 hours ago
20:28 <@Shadow404> Mercster: telescope?
20:28 < Mercster> nope, just watched it with my eyes, go across the sky
20:28 <@Shadow404> thats cool
20:29 < Mercster> yeah
20:29 < Mercster> it was
20:29 <@Shadow404> i wonder if google sky tracks it
20:29 < Mercster> friend of mine had a page that would plot it for a certain logg/lat and time
20:30 < Mercster> lemme see if he's up
20:30 <@Shadow404> i have a program that i use with my 2 meter atenna plugged into a laptop that can pull data off antiquated weather sattelits
20:30 <@Shadow404> really cool stuff
20:30 < Mercster> Shadow404: sweet. you on the radio at all?
20:30 <@Shadow404> aye

22:24 <@Shadow404> works for me
22:24 <@Dagmar> I imagine so

22:43 <@Dagmar> Someone emo'd up #wowuidev and I was just throwing out some theoreticals trying to help the guy feel better
22:44 <@Dagmar> "Anything short of fucking your sister will probably just be considered a "life lesson" a year from now."
22:44 <@Dagmar> Someone _else_ in the channel goes "What's wrong with that?"
22:45 <@Dagmar> He appears to be serious.
22:47 <@Dagmar> My response:
22:47 <@Dagmar> <Dagmar> Okay man, I live in the deep fucking south, and jokes aside... That's pretty much considered a serious no-no, even here.
