What is entanglement? Itamar Pittowsky claimed that these results brought us right to the precipice of logical contradiction--but not over. Abner Shimoney described it as a piece of "experimental metaphysics." I'm a nobody, but I think entanglement is the most interesting thing ever discovered.

Tenet includes this great shot of a building exploding in both temporal directions, but Nolan should have extrapolated the logic a bit more. At the end of the movie the Protagonist should have shrunk back into a baby and gone up into another woman's womb.

anyone else noticed that Letterboxd sounds like Litterboxd. and that all your movie reviews are like excretions. anyone noticed this.

This is what Lovecraft was on about in the Dreams in the Witch House
PS2: I also have a video of a geodesic observer, essentially the middle vertical line in the diagram, who remains perpetually between the inner and outer horizons, and sees the Kerr geometry as a pulsating phenomenon, alternating between BH and WH regions. Sadly, many computation artifacts here:

Nothing beats Mermin's 1981 paper imo but I recently found Greg Egan's page on the Mermin-Peres Magic Square game, which is another terrific way of putting things.

If you're the parent of a trans kid, it is now your responsibility to find out how to obtain HRT for your child. You didn't sign up to be a criminal, but when the state criminalizes your child, it's your job to stand up and put yourself on the line for them

Another failure of the "prescient" definition for BH EH (boundary of causal past of future null infinity): it wouldn't permit a horizon in a horizon.
Are these trapped surfaces?

Since the Kerr black hole has an axis of symmetry we can draw a cross section. The ergosphere is the blue region outside the horizon. One can move in and out of the ergosphere, but it is not possible to remain at rest once inside. One *must* move in the direction of the black hole’s rotation. (20/n)

the line is actually "no JESUS for us meeses," an oblique reference to the fact that, as muppets are unable to take communion, they are forbidden from entering the kingdom of god

Reminds me of my time at Harvard
I am so excited to announce that I am now a math instructor at UCLA! Go Bruins!
I didn't get a job here or anything. I'm just a math instructor physically on their campus.

it is actually pretty confusing to call Schwarzchild 'stationary' when it clearly does not have a timelike isometry. (there is an end of time within the EH.)
i had to learn that stationary only means it has an isometry which is *asymptotically* timelike. (there is no end of time outside the EH.)

if you put down a topological space, such as S2×R×R, on which you aim to pose Einstein's equations, you can't just say in advance that one of the R will be radial and one will be temporal. Those divisions will follow after the solution g has been discovered.

once again saw a youtube physics personality say that time & space switch roles inside of an event horizon.
there is no sense in which this is remotely true, is there?
