It may sound like a crazy discovery but do remember that the earth itself is around 4.5 billion years old. 40 million years is nothing. The rocky mountains in the US are upwards of 80 million years old and that's considered "young"

If nitpicking had an award's ceremony I'm sure you'd be invited. Thanks.

Interesting. And so what does the author mean by "event" then? Just literally anything happening? Does their "law" track with events happening?

First half felt like something you cram into your college essay to fill up the word minimum. I think the lemmy article summarizer also got confused by it.

In my recent research, published in AIP Advances, I used information theory to propose a new law of physics, which I call the second law of infodynamics. And importantly, it appears to support the simulated universe theory.

At the heart of the second law of infodynamics is the concept of entropy—a measure of disorder, which always rises over time in an isolated system. When a hot cup of coffee is left on the table, after a while it will achieve equilibrium, having the same temperature with the environment. The entropy of the system is at maximum at this point, and its energy is minimum.

The second law of infodynamics states that the "information entropy" (the average amount of information conveyed by an event), must remain constant or decrease over time—up to a minimum value at equilibrium.

Okay maybe I'm just not smart enough to get this, and I think that's probably the case, but isn't this more in the realm of social science? Is information quantifiable in physics? I know you can quantify data, but information?

I'm not doubting it but I'm just... confused. I don't feel like article really explained what "information" means in this instance. They said "genetic information," but that's also not measured by the term information. I just need like a really dumbed down guide for this...

Also this article just feels like an ad for the author's study :/

sounds like you're a bit more of a gamer than i am

That’s… pretty on-you

funny, considering i wrote the post. would be weird if it weren't on me as the post author.

Interesting, most I buy or see in stores are just regular containers

I wonder if there's been any research on introducing child-safe locks to household chemicals like we have on laundry detergent and on medications...

I remember I did that the first day I got a switch, just to see what the hype was all about. Tasted pretty damn awful but I think if you were really committed to it and drank a lot of water you could probably swallow one.

you! literally you!

they were probably asking for a source on the ambassador

DLC part pisses me off also. I know this game isn't developed by Paradox but it seems to be a trend in Paradox games where you need to spend the base price + an absurd amount of extra money to get the developer's "true vision" or whatever. It's really annoying.

To get most of the base game features that are currently present in Crusader Kings III, you would've had to spend a sizeable chunk of cash on DLC for Crusader Kings II.

lmfao

this was actually one of the defining reasons that I chose to transfer colleges. At my old one I didn't have a car and nothing healthy was in walking distance (I'm talking within an hour's walk), yes it was that small of a town. All I could eat was the dining hall food which was literally just pizza, tacos, cheeseburgers, pasta, and Panda Express. So I did that for 9 months and gained an unimaginable amount of weight.

I remember one weekend I went home to visit my parents and it was a godsend to be able to eat a burrito.

calm down

In my case I was addicted to soda so it helped to talk to a doctor about it. It's easy to hide it from other people, even family members but a doctor can tell. Even if you think they can't tell, they can tell.

When he saw I lost weight he knew I had quit.

I can smell them but I don't think ive ever noticed a smell from peanuts to be honest. Peanut butter has a smell that I can pick out pretty easily

It's not everybody I know but a lot of my friends get peanuts as a snack food pretty regularly
