I got physics on the brain at the moment so here's a tidbit..
We all know time gets weird when you approach the speed of light.
The tidbit is time doesn't change for the person who is moving. Local time is always one second per second.
That doesn't mean when you get out of your spaceship it doesn't get weird it means your time doesn't change.
@fesshole
No you don't. All motion is relative.
#relativity :-)
Unifying general relativity and the electromagnetic force? (I presume this also includes the weak nuclear force at sufficiently high energies, but this summary doesn't say)

I'm pretty much at the limit of my understanding of field theories and such just in this summary article, I don't think I'll even try their full journal article.
@cenobyte - Does Professor Skye or her research assistant have any comment on the matter?
January 1928: The Dirac equation unifies quantum mechanics and special relativity
A seminal paper by Paul Dirac, who relied on mathematical intuition, laid the foundation for quantum electrodynamics.

It is a very dense black cat, so dense that it bends the space-time of the pillow.

"This work connects the dots among the great pillars of twentieth century #physics #thermodynamics, #relativity, and #quantummechanics—for a major paradigm shift…implications of quantum information processing in wetware at ambient temperatures," said Kurian.
"Physicists and cosmologists should wrestle with these findings, especially as they consider the origins of life on Earth and elsewhere in the habitable universe, evolving in concert with the electromagnetic field."
Postdoctoral positions in Computational Relativistic Astrophysics at our Potsdam institute
The “Computational Relativistic Astrophysics” department at the @mpi_grav in Potsdam led by Masaru Shibata announces the opening of postdoc appointments (2 years).
The department is currently composed of two group leaders, one senior scientist, and several postdoc researchers and students.
It focuses on several research topics in relativistic computational astrophysics including neutron star merger, collapsar, stellar core collapse and explosion, formation of supermassive black holes, and multi-messenger astronomy.

BRAXTON: The only way for me, for us, to recover is to obliterate Voyager from the timeline. That way, none of the events that caused this illness will have occurred.
JANEWAY: What events?
BRAXTON: Thirty years of exile on twentieth century Earth. The temporal inversion in the Takara sector. The #Vikings winning the Super Bowl.
Won't the crew of Voyager be surprised when they find the 29th century birth control pill dispenser hidden in a conduit?
Seven desperately tries to tweet back to the 29th century, however Grok has become so sentient that it controls the time-space continuum.
Have a look at our memecoin tracking board. It shows Rikercoin futures being manipulated by Quark Industries.
15:43? We quote times only in Freedom Units on Voyager!
It's 3:43 pm and you're going to report it as such.
PARIS: Ping-Pong. You should try it, it's a great test of hand-eye coordination.
SEVEN: I don't require testing.
PARIS: Yeah, so the Doc tells me. A visual acuity index of ninety nine point six.
So, the Doctor violates the doctor-patient privacy by just blurting out random test scores of his patients.
Either this is the last thing you see before that final swelling blackness collects your soul, or the TV's electronics are about to go.
Starfleet ships of the future will have soundboards at every station so you can perfect that perfect mix tape.
Janeway doesn't seem all that impressed with The Doctor.
Careful, Captain. This is an experimental chair controlled by your mind. It was created by some dipstick named Elon.
To be fair, though, I must add that the LLM even mentioned the usual caveats here. But these may not have been understood by the person:
“requires rigorous mathematical formulation and testing - currently speculative without such validation”
“a tall order needing extensive proof”
“a hypothesis awaiting the hard test of evidence”
5/5
After all, what could possibly go wrong when non-physicists pour their “physics buzzword bingo” with questions that sound like physics (but are not) into an LLM that ultimately doesn't understand physics either?
If the LLM then says, among other things, “it does seem almost too logical and elegant to be completely wrong”, this is of course problematic. Especially if the person at that point decides not to listen to any experts at all…
4/
My objection that the central definition underlyinig the “theory” is not physical and ambiguous was completely ignored.
Worse still: because I was perceived to be to “stupid” has led the person to conclude that they will only discuss this with AIs in the future because “it obviously doesn't make sense (anymore) to discuss it with physicists.”
That's probably a problem.
