Someone posted this over on Reddit right when it happened and I apparently saved it. I’m cleaning out my bookmarks and came across it. I hought you’d like to see why it’s good news that we found Lemmy.

Edit: I took a screenshot in case it gets deleted.

        It IS kinda crazy. If you try to create “nothingness” (create an enclosed space and suck out all of the air to have as little as possible), the nothingness actually tries to become full of something again, because of pressure difference.

            Consciousness is a crazy thing. It’s such a unique state of being for matter to take, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Consciousness was, itself, a force that could be measured. After all, we as conscious beings can alter the world around us in everyway, only limited by our physical bodies. Perhaps Consciousness is it’s own universe, that we have only begun to understand. In my life I’ve experienced things I can’t explain, but I’d call much of it extreme empathy, like Consciousness is all linked, where with practice, thoughts, feelings, and vibration can be transmitted through it, like radio signals. Perhaps it’s more simple than that, or not at all, but I enjoy dreaming (:

          This checks out in my addled thought experiments.

          Like before or during the creation of the universe, there was matter, and it’s opposite. They canceled each other out, but there just so happened to be a tiny tiny bit more matter than anti matter, so we have a universe largely made of matter. Would we even be able to tell a difference if it was anti matter that won out? -my vague recollection of a science channel show.

          Creation itself is the battle between nothing, and everything, like a battery, it is one thing. Duality is an invention of man.

        It’s my favorite thing to think about.

        As my uncle used to say, who just died the other day and who’s body is stuck in Mexico lol:

        “There is no duality Baba!”
