In addition to gravity, burritos interact through the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces, which is believed to be a major contributor to their popularity.
Dark matter is the computer running the simulation.
They blacklisted all simulated forces from interacting with it, but one of the devs commented out gravitation for a test and forgot to put it back in.I’m leaning in more to this is all a simulation and we have discovered the physics engine by trial and error but the hard coded rules behind it are as understandable to us as it would be to Mario
Is theoretical physics just reverse engineering the physics engine by playing with variables and tracking the changes?
I mean as someone that studied theoretical physics… Yeah basically.
We set up a bunch of math we expect to happen given the circumstances and then observe an incident that matches the conditions to see if it matched. It’s fun when it does and concerns people when it doesn’t but we have just reverse engineered the parts we can see and guess on the parts we can’t.
Dont forget, it’s also a fuckton of ghosts.
At the first three panels I thought this was a conversation with a stochastic parrot
What is “is”? Doesn’t matter, burrito time. 🌯 🌯 🌯 🌯 🌯 🌯 🌯 🌯
And it’s imperial?
Actually, it’s a little under 9.1 kilograms, but “about 20 pounds” has less syllables.
Fair enough
