i mean, we have the solutions to a lot of problems already

traffic? public trains

hunger? just like, feed people

global warming? reduce fossil fuel usage and stop poisoning the oceans

homeless? literally so many empty homes, put people in them???

and we've had many smart people create step by step plans for all of these!

the thing is... i guess rich people want a solution that doesn't involve them paying for something that's good not just for them but for others? so all those plans fail at step 1 - have empathy

i'm way too lazy to have alt accounts, just seems like a lot of work and i don't even know what i'd use them for

They used to be an orderly, lawful kind, now they fell to the trap of internet fame

fair enough

because you expect it to taste like milk. try plant based milks without that thought in your head. it worked for me

where /s?

they do indeed, and us humans invented ways to describe them with maths

natural laws of the universe can be described with our maths. but i'm pretty sure the universe didn't go "ah yes, 1+2=3 i can work with that! let there be light".

the numbers, the symbols, the equations - they're all human made, an attempt to describe things in a way that can be understood by us. but is this how they are? of course not. no wave or particle would describe itself the way we describe them, in fact they wouldn't describe themselves at all - they simply are

i'm a fan of 13 months 28 days each & would love to see more of base 20 around tbf, for some reason base 20 feels cozy to me

proton masses are rather small - inconvenient

the distance light travels at a certain time - then it'll just be based on our artificial units of time

cesium oscillation i don't know much about but from what i quickly read it's also about keeping time, 1s to be precise, which is still an arbitrary unit

c is pretty round (universal symbol for the speed of light)

aside from that, nothing. as science and maths are mere attempts at describing the universe all our units are arbitrary, decided to be the way they are purely because you just need to pick something to be your reference point.

at no point has a true non-artificial unit emerged, there is no constant size of anything that could aid in that (one contestant for that title could be the planck lenght but that'ss just incredibly inconvenient to use. "honey could you pelase move the couch 6,25 × 1034 planck lengths to the left? [1m])
