Altavista was ahead of their time. The modern internet desperately needs a technical search engine.

This is why I love Lemmy! We are all nerds

Haha I can just see it. “As an AI language model, actually Quantum Barn Mechanics forbids this”

More technically, the barn’s immense mass cause positive Anti-de Sitter spacetime curvature locally. All light rays emitted from the barn are stretched as a result as they follow their world lines. In fact, barns further away are said to be expanding faster and faster. Some even speculate the expansion of the universe is increasing exponentially as a result of these barns. This is known as the Theory of Quantum Barn Gravity.

Thanks for the further detail!

There was a response I left in the main comment thread but I’m not sure if you will get the notification. I wanted to post it again so you see it

Please feel free to ask any questions! Math is a wonderful field full of beauty but unfortunately almost all education systems fail to show this and instead makes it seem like raw robotic calculations instead of creativity.

Math is best learned visually and with context to more abstract terms. 3Blue1Brown is the best resource in my opinion for this!

Here’s a mindblowing fact for you along with a video from 3Blue1Brown. Imagine you are sliding a 1,000,000 kg box and slamming it into a 1 kg box on an ice surface with no friction. The 1 kg box hits a wall and bounces back to hit the 1,000,000 kg box again.

The number of bounces that appear is the digits of Pi. Crazy right? Why would pi appear here? If you want to learn more here’s a video from the best math teacher in the world.

Wow thank you!

Thank you mods for your work! I’m loving these communities!

Glad you are enjoying it! Please feel free to share any other channels like Computerphile, Numberphile, Mutual Information, & Veritasium. It’s difficult to find gems nowadays on YT.

Thanks for the comment! It is cool and also pretty aesthetically pleasing!

Thanks for sharing! (No worries, changed the title from “fact” to “thing” to be a bit more broad)

No problem! Glad you found it useful!

Yeah lol. Search engines have gone down in quality so bad it really does feel like that. It has been so difficult finding stuff on google/duckduckgo etc that I have to rely on portals now.

Thank you all for your answers!

I wanted to add one resource I found that has helped me find even more relevant search results:

A Lemmy Search Engine https://www.search-lemmy.com/

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Comments like these is why I love Lemmy. A hidden gem in the sea of news spam.

If I can ask, how did you even find that place?

It’s very sad indeed that this is the “best”. The only thing better would probably be specific youtubers who go get news sources for themselves. But I’m not aware of many.

Improvethenews is a collection of all news sources and provides all sides of an argument. This is one of the best news aggregators.
