Summary
Marketers are increasingly voicing concerns over "bull spend," a term used to describe advertising expenditures that yield impressive metrics but fail to translate into meaningful results. This phenomenon has been highlighted in discussions among professionals who emphasize the importance of focusing on revenue rather than just reach. The call to action is clear: cut the bull spend and prioritize effective advertising strategies that deliver tangible outcomes.
In the realm of physics, a significant conversation revolves around the reconciliation of quantum mechanics and general relativity. Despite their individual successes, these two foundational theories appear to contradict each other. Researchers are exploring various approaches to bridge this gap, including the idea of "gravitizing the quantum," which suggests that gravity may remain classical while quantum properties influence matter. This perspective opens up the possibility of conducting experiments to test these theories, particularly focusing on the nature of wave function collapse and the role of gravity in quantum systems.
Recent proposals for experiments aim to investigate the potential entanglement of masses through gravitational interactions, which could provide evidence for the quantum nature of gravity. One such experiment involves using nanodiamonds in a setup designed to measure correlations between quantum states, potentially indicating the presence of gravitons, the hypothetical carriers of gravitational force. As researchers continue to explore these concepts, they hope to unlock the long-standing mystery of how gravity fits within the framework of quantum mechanics, paving the way for new discoveries in fundamental physics.

If we discover how to connect quantum mechanics with general relativity we’ll pretty much win physics. There are multiple theories that claim to do this, but it’s notoriously difficult to test them. They seem to require absurd experiments like a particle collider the size of a galaxy. Or we could try to physics smarter, instead of physicsing harder. Let’s talk about some ideas for quantum gravity experiments that can be done on a non-galaxy-sized lab bench, and in some cases already have been done.

I mean it might be – I’m just not saying it. And perhaps it doesn’t make any difference. Even if this is the prime, the original physical universe, rather than somewhere deep in a simulation nest, we can STILL think of our universe’s underlying mechanics as computation. Imagine a universe in which the most elementary components are stripped of all properties besides some binary notion of existence or non-existence. Like, if the tiniest chunks of spacetime, or chunks of quantum fields, or elements in the abstract space of quantum-mechanical states can either be full or empty. These elements interact with their neighbors by a simple set of rules, leading to oscillations, elementary particles, atoms, and ultimately to all of the emergent laws of physics, physical structure, and ultimately the universe.Special thanks to our Patreon Big Bang, Quasar and Hypernova Supporters: Big BangJustin LloydAnton LifshitsCoolAsCatsDavid NicklasFabrice EapQuasarDean FuquaMark RosenthalMayank M.

Assume perfect coordination and the ability to localize my palms to the quantum level. 15 halvings gets them to within a cell’s width. 33 to within a single atom, 50 and they’re a proton’s width apart. Half the distance 115 times and they’re a single Planck-length apart - 1.6x10^-35 meters. Surely we can keep going - .8, .4, .2 x10^-35 m? Bizarrely, those distances might not even exist in any meaningful way.
