One of the most pointless examples of the hashtag I've seen yet -- #TodayILearned that the real-life forest that inspired AA Milne's "100 Acre Woods" in the Winnie the Pooh stories is actually 6,200 acres.

TIL the “observer” in physics might not be what we think

TIL the “observer” in physics might not be what we think - Lemmy

Who is the observer? In relativity, the observer is treated as relative — velocity and time depend on the frame from which they are measured. In quantum theory, however, the definition of the observer is far less clear: is it a measuring device, a human, the brain, or consciousness itself? There are multiple interpretations. Here is an attempt to introduce a completely new definition of the observer — one that may offer a way to conceptually bridge relativity and quantum theory. What do you think about this approach? It’s summarized in a short 7-minute video, so I’d really appreciate your thoughts after watching: https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/23dd4d52-493c-43f7-bd55-1fc2cb477766?artifactId=1b9b5430-5d8d-400e-b4f3-241ca713d7d6 [https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/23dd4d52-493c-43f7-bd55-1fc2cb477766?artifactId=1b9b5430-5d8d-400e-b4f3-241ca713d7d6] Would appreciate your thoughts.

Keith Richards wrote 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction' in his sleep - Lemmy

He recorded a rough version of the riff on a cassette player. He had no idea he had written it. When he listened to the recording in the morning, there were about two minutes of acoustic guitar before you could hear him drop the pick and “then me snoring for the next forty minutes”.
