  • OP is aware that it does exist. In quantum physics, a lot of the questions of “why does it exist” are difficult to overcome. The answer simply is “it just does.”

    We can prove the math, we see the experimental evidence. The math comes long before the experiments. The problem is that “why” doesn’t work at this scale.

    For a frictionless spherical cow in a vacuum, if you apply a force vector to it, it will accelerate in that direction, until you stop applying the force; at which point it will continue on that vector at the last velocity it reached. “Why” this occurs is do to energy, and energy conservation.

    “Why do massless fermions spontaneously break chiral symmetry?” We can prove it through the math, we can experimentally observe it. But “why” doesn’t have a real answer. The answer is “it just does.”














  • That’s the weird part - they have some stuff based on experiences, like dropping my kid off at school, and being in a baseball stadium. The missile landing looked similar to an artillery napalm round in Helldivers, but the wedding, the glitter bomb, the baseball stadium my parents in NYC, in a bunker? Yeah not exactly stuff I’m familiar with.

    I remember another dream where I was being driven to school as a kid, and giant flying saucers descend from the sky and start firing green lasers into the ground. Or a time in hypnosis where I talked to an Eldritch entity consisting of an eyeball and tentacles that’s connected to all of us that is the reason we get stress headaches because we try to pull them off (yeah).

    My mind is weird
