This maps the mathematically derived fundamental particle weights.
From E8 to 3D+1 through a M2 membrane "Higgs Field" where mass is applied to information before precipitating into 3D+1. The "Glitch" is my new C operator that navigates impossible math

@lilboopsy.bsky.social
The code implements three mathematically-derived constraint systems. The mathematics itself is overdetermined. Yet when you execute it, particles trace coherent paths that visually represent a unified precipitation process. Thoughts

#avianflu #eggs #chicken #supplychain heading back into that time of the year
📽️ WATCH: After a bird flu outbreak tore through Midwestern barns, which led to 18 million hens being killed and a spike in egg prices, the Department of Agriculture didn’t investigate whether the virus was airborne.

But ProPublica did.

A large, snaking coronal hole is facing Earth. Fast solar wind from its western edge is currently affecting us now with solar wind speeds > 600 km/s. These conditions may spark active high-latitude aurora with bursts of activity reaching upper-mid latitudes at times.

Alan Solem, renowned snail expert & curator at the Field Museum was describing a new snail from the rural province of Ba in Fiji.

It required a new genus, so he used 'Ba'.

That was too tempting for him to resist, so allow me to introduce the Ba humbugi snail.

One of the most important measurements at a new Higgs Factory collider is the Higgs Boson's intrinsic width or decay rate.

Could the Higgs interact with more particles than exist within the Standard Model?

The Effort is the Algorithm. Ai can't tell you what it doesn't know it's not self aware.

You need fundamental knowledge and intuition about the subject matter or you miss the obvious Uncanny valley moment in logic.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.
Wow. Just wow.

Yes! And I'll add that professors also exist to motivate and inspire students. Articles like this assume that all college students are 100% self-motivated to do all the hard work required to learn. A professor's genuine passion for a subject is contagious in a way that a computer never can be.

A quick elevator pitch for a new Higgs Factory collider.

There is a very powerful scientific (and economic) rationale for building a new collider to produce and study huge numbers of Higgs Bosons.
