Proving me smugly correct 😁

Score one crackpot scientist that isn't allowed to email hardworking physicists anymore!

Scientists turn light into a 'supersolid' for the 1st time ever: What that means, and why it matters

For the first time, researchers transformed light into a quantum crystalline structure to create a "supersolid" that's both solid and liquid at the same time. Here’s what that means, and why it's such a big step forward.

It's like a divorce tho. Just being right doesn't prove anything anymore and it's not your party to crash. Ideas schmideas!

If only I could use this to wangle a decent conversation with some random billionaire on another 'crackpot' theory of mine 🤔

Can I use this monumentous win to restate my theory on free university to foreign engineering students who build regional housing for a year or two before starting uni here?

Admittedly, I did spend a whole decade trying to inform physicists that time might not actually exist and may be a contrived outcome like the feeling of coldness. It exists in format, but it's not really a thing.

Which is contrary to Einstein's universe.

But I had good reasons! And, a good scientist would be willing to be wrong. Also, I was studying a science degree.

You tell me! Are my pitches so horrible?

Pitch:

We start a building company called "Floor Chests" - a warchest in your home - and the company cuts the typical Aussie slab and installs a floor pantry thingy.

We start a viral marketing campaign guerrilla style by having some footy celebrities arguing about the difference between a floor chest and a basement.

But basically, it's just a boxed bucket bolted to a cut slab. Which can be upgraded and upsized off course.

Apparently that's magical thinking because I'm supposedly pushing another idea that people say no to and it lets me of the hook.

Personally, like fuck I don't want to get in on the plan I'm pitching in shear desperation.

Usually, it feels like someone is gaslighting me with trickle down economics. What's that infantilising word? Patronising?

TY for another might is right, money talks, skin-in-the-game, at the end of the day outcome!

Anyway, don't mind me. My ideas are the pits 😂

A pitiful business pitch is my go-to ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

In the future I'll tell my kids this was my pit of despair. 🥸 Somewhere I really dug in, and we just covered it up later.

Now back to the drawing board! I have to consider how to scale with our new line: installing the void.
