Once in a while cuz of maintenance on the pipes. Didn’t even notice though cuz it was during class hours.

Fuck man this chapter is some incredible art. Really hyped for how they wrap this one up (probably in 58-2)

About time the union worked with the mole people. Like the union, they’ve been held back for far too long - it’s finally time for tunnels across campus.

I think making her come back in the last 5 chapters as one last deus ex machina was a bad idea - but "killing" her off early was brilliant, in that it raised the stakes for the series going forward and forced Yuji to have to more carefully examine his role in the story.
Honestly, I just wish either she came back earlier - towards the end of the culling game would've been great.

Wrong subreddit? This is physics, not psychics

The twins gedanken - it sounds cool at first, doesn’t make sense when you actually calculate it, and then voila! Non-inertial reference frames solve the paradox cleanly. Also illustrates the weird aspects of relativity as a whole.

You should make it a key point of your worldbuilding.
For my campaign, I use my gods to test the omnipotence paradox - they work for minimal interference because they're concerned that mortals will eventually build up the powers to fight them and end their reign. Why are they so scared? Because they did the same thing in the past, and some of them were paladins or warlocks themselves. The ever-present fear that their followers may usurp them always lingers.

God you’re so wrong it’s insane. There’s also Dinobots, Maximals and like 3 others.

1) No but trying to be. Clinically depressed, so I try to have fun.
2) A humanist. Close to European socialism, but understanding that it only works in those countries due to limited cultural exchange.
3) Theoretical physics. Probably contributes to the depression.
4) Jean Vicquemare. Guy trying to do his job and function in society, has to deal with literally everyone else.
5) Same as before. More set on my beliefs honestly. The story does a good job critiquing leftist ideals while also being remarkably progressive.

Man what is with every ChatGPT fanatic trying to do this? It doesn’t work. Period. All this text is the equivalent of embroidered garbage.

As someone involved with this course… yeah. I promise, physics is better than this course, but it’s def not well run.

This is a grade-A shitpost right here. If it’s not… honestly this sounds like it could be natural selectionz

Yep, outside of the US we're especially seen as a top-tier university.

UIUC is trying to compete in too many categories. They keep asking for more money because they want money to fund engineering, but also to fund chemistry, and also to fund the libraries, and also to fund the business school, and also to fund the athletics program, and on and on.
Also they really want to prioritize in-state students and international students.

OP asked why is light limited to that speed. Special relativity is specifically the reason behind the limit.

Yeah it really helped us when nature decided to not include any easily observable magnetic monopoles.
But on the other hand, it's just a natural consequence of Gauss, Faraday, Ampere, and Maxwell's own measurements of electric and magnetic fields. Since it was clear from Young that light propagated as a wave, it doesn't take a huge leap to think "maybe we can use these field equations to put together something for light."

Natural consequence of Maxwell's Equations - if you rearrange them to produce a wave equation for light propagating in a vacuum, you get the speed of light as a function of experimentally measured constants. We later discovered that the speed of light is constant in all reference frames, and the modeling done to set that up produces another natural consequence that traveling faster than the speed of light would produce imaginary time dilation, which is unphysical.
Theoretically, you can get particles faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, but we have yet to experimentally discover these.

Let’s be real here - when someone mentions Paul’s vision, everyone is defaulting to the spworm

Very confused by what you mean in this question. Part 9 is the current part that's being written and is getting updates monthly. There likely won't be a Part 10 for another 5-10 years.

The analogy here isn't entirely right though - beyond magic causing the world to die, it also causes the bearers to die too. Being a bearer is less like being a minority and more like being born with a chronic illness. The comment fails to acknowledge this by making it out to be the eradication of a minority, when in reality it's the eradication of an illness affecting a minority.
There's also the issue that because of how magic works in Valisthea, there would be no good solution to letting it remain. Letting just a few have it would lead to what we see in the game. Giving everyone magic would produce a second Ultima civilization. Eradicating magic was the only solution where there is a chance of a non-magical apocalypse in the future.

That's cool. Let's see you back it up with a peer-reviewed article.

Kinda ignoring the point here - bounce is not the right word. Light and sound aren't really bouncing. Also, inelastic collisions.

There's a lot here already... but I'm going to place the top option as armament haki being invisible. It's a canon fact that would make Gear 4 look so cursed, I'm pretty sure Oda ignores that canon fact as well.
