A new theorem maps out the limits of quantum physics. The result highlights a fundamental tension: Either the rules of quantum mechanics don’t always apply, or at least one basic assumption about reality must be wrong. https://www.quantamagazine.org/a-new-theorem-maps-out-the-limits-of-quantum-physics-20201203/ 3 comments 4/12/2020 space

[Manzano] Ben Skowronek thought he did something wrong when Sean McVay asked him to talk in his office the Wednesday before the Falcons game.

[@BradleyPhilpot] Unless the video we are seeing is wrong somehow, this double waved yellow situation with Max seems like a slam dunk penalty to me. The precedent has always been that physical flags from actual marshals must be adhered to - or it’s a massive safety risk. https://twitter.com/BradleyPhilpot/status/1462089556640022537?s=20 196 comments 20/11/2021 formula1
[Gabriel] I can’t warm up to Drew Lock as a top prospect. Yes, the physical traits are excellent but that’s only 50% of the QB evaluation. To me he’s a combination of Blaine Gabbert and Kyle Boller.

[Wojnarowski] Raymond Brothers: “People were saying it was a mental problem and it is not.

Now we have the answer to that problem.” https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1070101993799073792 367 comments 4/12/2018 nba
Our reality is the sum of all the external stimuli put together by our primordial brain in a picture that makes sense to us. It can well be twisted or altogether wrong. Understanding the laws of physics is like looking at an alien chess board and trying to understand the rules simply by observation. https://ahmednabik.com/is-reality-absolute/ 4 comments 14/10/2018 science

Stimulating the prefrontal cortex can reduce a person’s intention to commit a violent act by more than 50%. What’s more, using such a minimally invasive technique, called transcranial direct-current stimulation, increased the perception that acts of physical and sexual assault were morally wrong. https://penntoday.upenn.edu/news/brain-stimulation-decreases-intent-commit-physical-sexual-assault 18 comments 3/7/2018 science
