Nah, pretty sure that is just a (very mild) hallucination because it couldn’t find an actual good example
Yes, that is correct.

Well, kind of. The time dimension is a bit tricky, though – in Minkowsky space, a common way to think about spacetime, it is hyperbolic in relation to the other dimensions. In a nutshell, this means that distance is not the square root of the sum of the squares of the distances in specific dimensions, but rather of the difference. This makes it especially tricky to visualise. (I do recommend you check out this series by minutephysics, he does a great job at making it intuitive)
My analogy, therefore, doesn’t translate directly to spacetime, but it does provide a very simple 2d explanation for why straight things can act curved (even in 4d).
It is straight in reference to the distorted spacetime.
Conventionally, a straight line is defined as the shortest path between two points, but if you take a plane that is not flat, say the surface of a ball, the shortest path between two points will be curved. But from the perspective of the two-dimensional man who lives in surface, the line is straight because it moves perfectly along his world.
It was a joke – it behaves as a wave until you observe it; then it collapses into a particle.
I had to search for a bit but I finally found this !science_memes@mander.xyz post: https://mander.xyz/post/3197041
Well that’s just a theory, albeit good, and there’s a good chunk of modern science that refuses to marry it, so let’s not be too sure about it, shall we?
Edit: Wikipedia summarises it nicely:
Although general relativity is highly regarded for its elegance and accuracy it is not without limitations: the gravitational singularities inside of black holes, the ad hoc postulation of dark matter, as well as dark energy and its relation to the cosmological constant are among the current unsolved mysteries regarding gravity; all of which signal the collapse of the general theory of relativity at different scales and highlight the need for a gravitational theory that goes into the quantum realm.
Edit: Also highly recommend this read: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/quantum-gravity/
Massless light is still affected by gravity, though…

Ah, I see. Thanks a lot!
I really like Brilliant. It is really clear and interactive, the only real negative is the price.
The brain, your conciousness, is the central coordinating centre of you as an organism, the highest level of control. It is formed with the end goal of propagating its genes, which one might however argue makes it a submechanism arising from the super-conciousness, evolution which has the intention of creating as many organisms as possible.
I think this is the wrong take. If we want Lemmy to be truly community-controlled, we need many small servers, as opposed to the current situation of one server controlling half the userbase. Also, which server is Facebook-controlled? Lemmy.world is in the minority by federating with Threads.
