Moving closer to the gravitating object is what turns the potential energy into all its other forms. Where do you think all the energy comes from to ignite fusion within stars? A shit ton of tiny gravitating objects all move closer to a shit ton of other tiny gravitating objects. Bam, suddenly every single one of these little particles has accumulated enough momentum to shear right through an atom's electric field and smash it straight in the nucleons. Ouch!

Take another look at Newton's law of universal gravitation my friend. Do you see that distance squared on the divisor side? Do you know what happens when the bottom part of a fraction when it goes to zero? Many calculators will just say Err, but they are just trying to hide the truth. It blows up to infinity. (Technically negative infinity is also possible depending on the equation and depending on how you approch zero, but that's not applicable here.)

That's right, a singularity has existed in the equation for gravity since the very moment that Newton invented it and things started falling to Earth. Theoretical physicistspiss their pants and faff about the infinite curvature that was Einstein's contribution to gravity, but a similar singularity in the form of infinite gravitational potential energy has always existed right there in the equation.

If pay attention in physics class then you might see that gravitational potential energy is always represented as negative. That's because just by existing in a world with gravity, we stand at the edge of a cliff with infinite gravitational potential energy, and it's a lot easier to play funny tricks like saying that potential energy can just go below zero than it is to work with the reality that any amount of potential energy we could ever save up would only ever amount to going from infinity to infinity plus one.

All gravitating objects have this singularity. The only reason the universe doesn't explode every time I reach for my stapler is pesky little details like atomic forces, the centrifugal pseudoforce, and fact that objects have a size. Rats, there goes my plan to generate infinite energy for society by repeatedly dropping them closer and closer to a point-mass.

Does that answer your questions?

Sorry I missed it I was in a movie

if you like learning all the things, and can easily laugh at your own retardation, lets be friends.

#Bitcoin’er after 1000% past 5 years:

If I wasn’t working on ecash, I’d be working on making seed phrases obsolete. They’re the worst possible UX imaginable.

"Hey, we have the best engineered money in human history…but before you can use it, you have to grab a piece of paper and write down 12 random words. BTW if anyone ever finds this paper, they can steal your money forever."

Deeply unserious UX.

I think seed phrases are the best solution we have right now. But it’s naive and short sighted to think they’ll remain the standard for self custody / backup, or that we can’t design something 10x better and just as secure.

Nice, checking this one out.

But I’m looking for some convenient way to purchase stuff and switching from Cashu to lightning and stuff.

𝐆𝐍 🌝

Are there already wallets with both, Lightning and Cashu implementation? 👀

On Nostr, censorship doesn’t exist… but neither do normal people.

Today I zapped, followed, unfollowed, and muted. A good day on nostr being my own algorithm.

Scientists have found that the appendix contains over 200 million neurons, more than your spinal cord. These neurons are not just sitting idle. They are connected to complex networks that allow the appendix to operate semi-independently and communicate directly with the brain. That’s right: the appendix could function like a second brain in your gut, playing a crucial role in the gut-brain axis.

I just found out my parents still pay for AOL Email 🤦

hmm nah..weiss nicht.. fühle ich irgendwie grad nicht so.. 💆🏻‍♂️

jemand von euch vielleicht..?

America successfully abolished its central bank twice. Thanks to #Bitcoin, the third time will be the charm. Once The Fed is abolished, American central banking will go extinct, as #Bitcoin makes this corrupt business model defunct.

Ok. I'll zap your note 21 sats back in that case

All of this!! 🔥🔥 This is why I came to #Nostr

Can you tell me what the fucking point of college is if college graduates now have the same unemployment rate as non-college kids?

Tap the broadcast icon thing (second from the right on the bottom nav bar), set the top dropdown to Global, then check out the first tab: Note Discovery — it’s full of curated lists like “Top zapped” and “One from every follow" etc.

Every train station should be an airport-like mall instead of the ugly things we have today. I would easily buy my Starbucks at the train station. Imagine waiting for your train in some awesome bakery in the morning... 😋
