This is the field I choose to go into. I chose this, I did this to myself. It is fun. I like it.
Yeah getting a ~50% yearly salary bump and all I have to do is stare into the cosmic abyss? I'm in
No, you look at huge tables of data and do differential equations all day trying to figure out how anything relates to anything

Yo I'd do that shit for free lol, I love differential equations and data science. Where do I sign up?
Damn dude don't scab
Also observatories tend to publish their data blobs for free, so if you have some textbooks to learn wtf is happening and how to apply it you can grab the data and do some amateur astrophysics

I'm currently working on this part, lol. Currently trying my best to teach myself quantum mechanics before the semester starts. But for astrophysics I'd really need to add general relativity to the picture, which I'm down to learn but it all takes time.
Plus I'm trying to learn like 5 other things
because I have squirrel brainthat are a bit closer to home than astrophysics.
Life was so much simpler when I thought matter was just protons neutrons and electrons.
I can bring two magnets close to each other and feel their fields interact so I know fields are real. Why not more fields, idk. What holds atoms together? Fuck if I should know, probably more magic fields. In the point of view of a photon, it travels instantaneously to its destination? That seems fake.

From the point of view of a photon there's also no distance between the start and end point. In a (kinda stoned) sense light connects us to anything it touches. Like, woah dude

entanglement means this is true o.O
if you took a whole bunch of pairs of entangled particles and used them to make two black holes, the black holes would be entangled, and their interiors might be a connected space.

It's statistically unlikely to the point of being impossible in any kind of realistic scenario. Still a neat thing to think about tho
to clarify, the thought experiment of entangled black holes having connected interior spacetimes is not intended to be understood as something which could occur naturally. It's intended to illustrate the notion that the structure of spacetime itself might arise from entanglement interactions. i.e. the explicit emerging from the implicit.
Speaking of thinking dialectically, it seems clear to me that black holes embody a synthesis of the seemingly contradictory quantum and gravitational theories, and that moving our physics forward in a synthesis of those theories is helped by studying them.

it doesnt have a rest mass, it's got to run away from reality at the speed of light to exist.
The truth is that it's not gravity, it's grabbity because it grabs everything and pulls it down
You've all been taken for fools by Big V
I reset my Google news algorithm by incessantly searching for astrophysics articles for two straight weeks and now the vast majority of my news feed is astro/particle physics. It's dramatically better than the political gossip bullshit that it wants to feed you but the more I read the more I want to sit down with a physicist and talk until my brain antiquarks out of existence.
If you're interested in physics, I have been CONSUMING pbs spacetime, and it has been a fantastic resource.
By far the best science YT channel. Also Sean Carroll's Biggest Ideas playlist for introduction

Probably a connected graph of space bits or something dumb they're going to call third quantization or something dumb. Definitely not strings though, fuck strings, all my homies hate strings.

nah more like third impact
magnet is just a super magnet .. while all else is also magnet ..
but we dont know how tey work either.
the curvature of spacetime is caused by god pushing down on it with a finger for every subatomic particle
