My thought experiment is, what if two black holes were approaching each other very rapidly on a not-quite-collision course, so that the sides of their event horizons briefly overlapped as they passed. Would they stick together?
ISTM that if anything was inside the overlapping area they'd have to stick, since otherwise that thing would be escaping from one of them. But is there anything there? Maybe something that just now fell in and hasn't had time to fall to the center? Or, is there quantum foam inside a black hole, and if so, would that count as "something" that would force the black holes to stick?
Cry harder, nutjob.
Best Buy honestly isn't that bad for a fair number of consumer electronics -- you can get decent deals on TVs for example.
Fortunately books 4-6 can't be spoiled because they're gibberish and nobody understands them.
Up until volume 3 at least. After that, Herbert kind of went off the rails.
Especially one as stupid as life just popping up randomly then one day needing the opposite sex to suddenly procreate. Learn some goddamned physics.
Someone mod this Funny, quick. This is obviously a parody of a person with a brain.
I was hoping to learn more about the physics of sex.

Perhaps I don't understand shorting, but I don't see how you could make a buck shorting this unless you owned shares before the IPO.
Really the only reliable way to prevent an AI from giving out a particular type of info is to avoid training it on that info. Eg if you donâ(TM)t want your AI giving out bomb-making instructions, donâ(TM)t train it on bomb-making instructions.
Of course, removing harmful info from the training sets at scale is its own tough problem; maybe they could train an AI to do that.
The most recent story on the Havana Syndrome before this was that there was no evidence it was caused by any physical damage. The conclusion was that its not actually a "syndrome" but random symptoms with no common cause.
Whereas the correct conclusion would have been that it is not caused by anything that causes physical damage that we can detect.
Also, Abraham Lincoln was a vampire slayer.
