The big bang didn’t happen in a pattern, it happened everywhere at once: https://nasaspacenews.com/2025/10/is-the-universe-infinite-new-evidence-challenges-our-cosmic-understanding/
The universe expanding means it gets sparser. It has no edge and no center, so it’s not spherical. It’s either infinite or repeating (e.g. it might be the surface of a 4D torus, but as said: that doesn’t imply an edge). I personally believe it’s infinite and not repeating.
No, there’s no center and no edge, the big bang happened everywhere at once. The universe might be finite, but only in the sense that it’s looping back on itself, not in the sense that it can possibly be a sphere (which has both center and edge). So your mental model of an explosion in 3D space doesn’t fit: https://nasaspacenews.com/2025/10/is-the-universe-infinite-new-evidence-challenges-our-cosmic-understanding/
Metaphors like this at helpful for approaching understanding, but you can’t extrapolate from them. There was no 3D space in which the big bang occurred, “nothing” is not the same as “a patch of vacuum in spacetime”. An explosion doesn’t start as dimensionless singularity, it starts with the matter that explodes. And so on.
That’s pretty cool sci-fi!
Earth is fine, it’s seen worse than humanity. Geology doesn’t care about what biology does.
There’s also no reason to believe that the big bang happened at one “point”. I believe that the universe (and therefore the big bang) are infinite.
Everything is relative, so something infinite can still expand: since there’s no absolute speed, galaxies can move away from each other everywhere, at all times.
Now you’re just making things up.
I think the “controversy” is just tribalism. I’ve never once witnessed a case of any of the negative adjectives thrown at the Rust community. They’ve always taken exceedingly fair and good-faith approaches to discussing any critique of the language.
Their snark is reserved for the weird “anti-woke” crowd that hates Rust for some reason.
I just use nushell’s builtins instead of wrangling with IFS and bash idiosyncrasies. It’s been years since I’ve corrupted data by parsing text wrong.
But even if someone doesn’t want that: apart from using it in legacy scripts, grep is just a strictly less useful ripgrep these days, no?
A homeless person freezing to death on the winter streets in the US is as poor as a homeless person starving in Lebanon. Who cares if one of them has a banged-up smartphone. They’re both dying.
I’m not living there, don’t assume things. And why do you think obesity means wealth? The trash food that makes their people fat and unhealthy is very much an expression of poverty. The wealthy there east healthy food.
What good does a handful of billionaires’ wealth do the poor in the US?
Mu. Your question reveals that you didn’t read the article. Try doing that, then you know which failed assumption led to your question making no sense.
I’d love that. On Reddit, I used to see dozens of upvoted comments by people who only read and believed the headline, all appearing before the first comment written by someone who had read the actual article.
What would that be for? It’s hard to search the internet for.
I think I remember from my Ubuntu days that I used it to switch JREs? Arch has something for that!
I chose the Lemmy devs’ instance thinking it would get bug fixes fastest. Had I known that this leads to constant discrimination, I wouldn’t have, jeez.
Hahaha yeah! And not to forget lemmygrad.
Also I dared suggest that Mozilla isn’t the devil and Firefox is still kinda the only browser preventing a full chromium monopoly on awfulsystems. Banned.
That or both wrong and an asshole. I was trying to be charitable.
I think you’re confused. It’s really easy to use. You have to learn 3–4 command line flags instead of subcommands, but that’s all that separates it from others in usage patterns.
Sorry, I’m not a physicist, but the big bang happening everywhere at once isn’t up for debate. As far as I understand, it’s a well-settled fact. Read the article!
