I read this in Leonard Nimoy's voice, from narrating Civilization IV.

But quality is strongly associated with brand. Showing off the logo might be taboo, but everyone can tell the difference between an IKEA kitchen and a Funkiskök.

Gestation crates are up there among the most immoral things created by man.

More like, continue living in a sketchy neighbourhood because all the thieves go to the newer, more polished neighbourhoods anyway.

It is controversial to put into system letting people sell their bodies to make ends meet.

Pretty sure it should be kWh / 100 km

It is unintuitive to me why the rational numbers are dense in the reals, since rational numbers are countably infinite, as opposed to the reals. I think infinity is hard to grasp.

I don't think it explains "How" either, in this case.

So a proton can emit a positron. Does that mean that the positron is somehow "part" of the proton? Does it mean that their wave functions interact in some specific way? Is there another reason?

Quantum physics has always bothered me, personally, since I find it difficult to understand reasons. Not philosophical reasons, I am fine with axioms and foundations to models, but rather intuitive reasons why it works a certain way. I know it is an extremely strong theory which makes unexpected, later confirmed, predictions, but there is a frustration that the only explanation to things is "math".

I am reading this as "it has to be this way, or the model does not hold", but it does not explain why. What causes it? Consistency of a model cannot be the ultimate reason, right?

Fun, but extremely unpleasant. The more stressed I get the more difficult it is to relax my eyes and see the pattern.

Are we? How? Because the curvature is flat?
