Read this shit, it's awesome. Especially #2... Fucked my mind up.

Boyfriend's worrying me- he randomly got offline and I asked if he was okay, and he said "Not really..."

This is the badass kid that I've never seen cry. He's rarely upset, and if he is, he shrugs it off and tries to get me to ignore it all I can. I'm real worried. He said that if I can stay up a little, he'll tell me what's wrong, and I'm very scared and worried for him.

So here I am writing to stay up.

On another note, it's like 3 AM. Blurg. But boyfriend came over today, actually, and we had a jolly good time, I gave him some cupcakes I had frosted to look like different kinds of pokeballs (to which he texted later, "HOLY BALLS SHELBY! THESE CUPCAKES ARE DELICIOUS :O" XD) and he fell asleep, took some cute pictures of his lil' chubby sleepface X3

Uhh, we went out to eat with the 'rents and played pokemon at dinner, which was cute :] Got to cuddle and snuggle and he fell asleep, as I said, which is simply the most adorable thing to ever grace this planet. XP

Uhm... we played in the snow a tad 'cause it's melting, and played video games all day :)

and then before he left, he gave me his big sweatshirt 'cause he knows I like to wear or keep things that smell like him :') an' so I'm laying in a bed I made on the floor in just my underwear and his sweatshirt, which smells awesome.

So I guess you could say I'm really happy. But worried. I'm really worried about him.

I've got a really bad gut feeling. I hope everything's alright :'( I mean, we were up sorta late... That's all I can think about for him being in trouble for or anything... Or his brother was being a douche, maybe. That happens often. :(

Jesus! something just hit my window and freaked me the fuck out. Not gonna go look though. Eughghgh. I have a fear of this bedroom window at night, did you know that? I'm always feeling anxious that if I look out when it's dark, there will be a face there.

I'm really scared right now, guize.

oh good, he's just texted me. Whew.

Alright, it was just brotherly fighting. But whoo. That was scary to me. XD Kay i'm gonna pop off and go to bed once we're done talking, so, love ya' guys, g'night.

Quick edit: Yeah, apparently he was crying for like a half an hour :( Poor baby!... <3 He never cries D': <3 my heart aches for him, maaaaan.

k goodnight forreal

Draco... just to let you

Draco... just to let you know... if you ever do look into the blackness of the darkness outside your window... it will be face looking back at you. :P

Be face? XD

I'm assuming you meant "my face" XD <3 but omfg I wouldn't even know it was you so I'd probably shit my pants...

That thing that hit your

That thing that hit your window? That was me. Don't worry :)

But as for the boyfriend, really the only thing you can really do is be there for him and listen to him and all that good stuff. When people get really depressed or are in a funk, only they can dig themselves out of it. He'll be okay.

XD so if your body itself hit my window, did Yama throw you? XD

Since you were both out there last night apparently XD...

Yeah, I know. He can be a tough cookie, but I was there for him and he's super happy today :] So everything worked out better than expected :D Apparently his brother was being a dick, and they argued, and I think they might have started hitting each other. So poor babe was probably all punched out :c

About the physics things...

Can't say much about #6, I don't have any information about it, never heard about that.
I'm sure people much smarter than me are working on it.

#5's pretty easy, gravity is basically non-existent at the quantum level because, well, it's weak. Really, really, really weak.
But then it dominates the cosmos because of a few of it's properties.
Its range is infinite, everything in the universe exerts gravity on everything else.
Everything emits gravity, for the EM force, most things are electrically neutral, the others don't happen past the subatomic level.
Nothing can be used as a shield from gravity. You can use an insulator to stop electricity, there are no gravity shields.
So despite its weakness, those effects let it dominate cosmology.

#4, see #6.

#3 is misleading, black holes don't straight up evaporate into nothing, the emit radiation, and as we know, energy is equal to mass, that's where the mass goes.
And, I actually wrote a whole journal just a few days ago about how Stephen Hawking was wrong about them violating the Law of Conservation of Information, proved by a man named Leonard Susskin, who showed that what happens inside the black hole is only one way to look at what happens, the black hole and its event horizon are connected, events that happen inside the black hole are projected 2-dimensionally on the surface of the event horizon, there is a record of what happens inside.

#2 is really weird, I've known that the properties of particles depend on whether they're being observed, but I didn't know things won't decay if you look at them.
I have heard though, that electrons, and other particles too, behave as particles, but only when you're looking at them. When you're not looking, they behave more as waves, or like they get spread out.
It's really, really weird that the universe changes when it's being observed.

#1, I don't know a whole lot about it, but I've heard that it's possible the neutrinos used like an interdimensional wormhole sort of thing, and Einstein might still have been right. I've heard that in the midst of space, among the zero-point energy that's in every bit of space, microscopic wormholes continually pop in and out of existence.

What about me?

Actually this is a great link: a subtle (sometimes not too subtle) mixture of fact and fantasy! And it was intended to be such...

I intentionally refrained from commenting... in hope that SG would take the bait and run with it. And... he did just that.. in grand style! (It seems that my bait is not very appetizing... or, more likely... I'm too dismissive of reality.)

As for #2: That "Texas" fabrication is a malicious "tease!" SG quite rightly pointed out this absurdity. btw, Radioactive carbon dating relies on decay being continuous... observers notwithstanding!

Yeah

I can't find any other confirmation of #2.
