The universe as we know it is a perpetual exchange system! Every touching of atoms changes each and in turn all atoms that touches those. No one touching is exactly the same, past present or future.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

Physics is a funny thing. A ~500 kg grand piano falls on you? Bad news. A 10 trillion kg black hole hits you traveling way faster? No big deal. 🧪
Looking for good news, I found this:
If you were struck by a microscopic black hole, the mass of a small asteroid, it'd be no worse than a gunshot. And such black holes are definitely too rare to have "any observable effects on the human population." 🔭🧪

🧪 That's great. I've always wondered how physics can explain everything when you need independent standards for time, space, and mass. I would prefer zero standards, but for now I'm quite happy with a single time standard. Unfortunately, I've always considered time to be a mysterious concept.
A group of physicists has proved that we can describe all of nature with only one constant.

In behavioral studies, about one-third of dogs showed signs of addiction when their favorite toys were taken away, like loss of self-control and disinterest in other rewards.
