Such decay would not violate any fundamental conservation law, except for the ham-fisted law of "total barions must stay constant because we have never seen the opposite".

Gauge symmetry doesn’t explain why forces exist—it just describes their behavior.
Physicists treat it as "fundamental," but it's just a way to keep equations working when shifting variables.
>>
>>16607737
So what? Lots of people have tried to find a fundamental theory that explains all of that, and nobody can agree (yet). That being said a lot of great work has been done, most of which I don't understand even though I have a phd in le physics. You're welcome to try and improve it but it's quite the rabbit hole.

All of physics, and indeed everything we think about the external world, is kinda like that. Maybe there's answers somewhere at the bottom but we're a long way from getting there.

It's supposed to be the air that pushes on something when you have a vacuum on one side. So then how in the fuck when a "tube", fuck it I'm gonna make this about dicks because it's easier, how is it that when it's sucked does it go into the mouth? When there is no angle for the air to push it from?

This is wild, but I think you made a small oversimplification. It's generally FLUID pressure on one side that pushes an object into the vacuum, where the fluid could be air, water, or whatever. I hypothesize that the main share of the pushing force is generated by your internal water content pushing against the tissues, and in particular the blood flowing through your dick's blood vessels. The dick blood is under pressure from the contraction of your heart, as well as the weight of the atmosphere pressing in on your body from ever direction but the blowjob giver (analogous to of one of those squishy toys that inflate out of the gap in your curled fist when you squeeze.) You could also argue some of the pushing force is generated by the air pushing on the blowjob recipient's entire backside.
>>
>>16608255
Interesting idea anon. Wouldn't you almost explode if you went in a vacuum then?
And what about a metal tube? Attached to a wall or something.
Also how do the different so called fluids act in the transition? Does it even matter? Say air is pushed on all sides of your body. Does the pushing of the air in a way go into the body? Like what if you're sitting on a chair? It's kind of hard to imagine and I've never heard anyone talk about it.

Distilling alcohol and/or essential oils is quite unironically where it's at. There's a decent base around the hobby as well as plenty of safe, high-quality equipment from suppliers like clawhammer. No risk of blowing your hand off. You may need a permit depending on where you are to distill alcohol but not for oils and other distill-ables.

Salt (sodium chloride) dissolves with a saturation concentration of around 36%, it goes up a bit with heat until a 39% at 100 degrees celcius.
This is known but yet not explained. No chemical model knows why some common salt or other simple ionic salts (chloride, hydroxides, bromides, sulfates) dissove at the specific concentrations they do at some temperature.
All science has to say is "Polar molecules" or "Polar molecules motherfucker" and claim that heat agitates things.

>the lattice energies of the sodium halides increase from NaI to NaF
it's not just lattice energy, but also ionic hardness.
Water is a relatively soft positive donor, which is why it favors softer ions like Iodide and Bromide over the Chloride and Fluoride, the geometry of the ions matters very much.
You can show this using QM using MD simulations.

Entanglement Is Just Out-of-Phase Oscillation
Particles oscillate inherently—they are not static objects but rhythmic energy patterns.
When two particles originate from the same event, their oscillations are locked—but can be out of phase.
Measurement doesn’t "collapse" anything—it just reveals the pre-existing phase relationship.

Let’s say a particle’s oscillation is:

ψ1(t) = A cos(ωt)

Its entangled partner, due to conservation laws, must be out of phase:

ψ2(t) = A cos(ωt + π)

This means:

If ψ1 is measured as "up", that just means we caught it at a certain phase.
Instantly, ψ2 must be "down" because it was always π out of phase—not because of “spooky action.”

If reality is truly 3D, forces should fall off as 1/r3 (volume-based). Instead, every fundamental force follows 1/r2 (surface area of a sphere).

Gravity, light, EM waves—all obey inverse-square, meaning they spread over a 2D surface, not a 3D volume.


A sphere’s surface area is 2D. If space were truly 3D, force should dilute over the sphere’s volume instead.
But it doesn’t. It only cares about the 2D expansion model—why?
Possible answers:

Space is a stretched 2D fabric, not a true 3D void.
Forces follow structured flow paths, not free expansion.

We perceive depth as an illusion—reality is actually a 2D+flow system.

No one asks this because they assume 3D is real. But the math is screaming that forces are stuck to a 2D-like medium.

Naw. Not even my stuff can touch that voodoo.

I can make real things imaginary, and imaginary things real, but I can't make false things true.

No matter how much nothing you multiply by, you still get nothing. All I can do is trick that nothing into thinking it's something.

Sorry in advance, I'm not very smart when it comes to this stuff but I'm trying to wrap my head around this one.

Can a star die and form a black hole while already beyond the event horizon of a black hole?

Essentially, I understand that a sufficiently large black hole (TON 618?) will have no noticeable effects for a human as that human passes the event horizon. Of course, the human may be able to detect that they have passed the event horizon by seeing normal space folding above them slowly into a distant pinhole, but ultimately that humans feels no discomfort and will die of old age in their space suit before the black hole actually does anything to harm them.

Suppose that a star passes beyond the event horizon of this same extremely large black hole, and then that star itself collapses into its own black hole AFTER already having passed the event horizon of the surrounding black hole;

My questions are: Can a black hole form inside another black hole? What is the experience of that region of space time? What happens to the new singularity and how does it interact with the already existing singularity?

I think my human brain still perceives black holes as object and not regions of space, which is why I'm having so much trouble with this.

An analogy I read was that you can't create a bottomless pit inside a bottomless pit - it would just be one bottomless pit. I get that, but I also feel that the collapsing star still has the 'right' to collapse into a black hole under the aforementioned conditions because ultimately a region of space still maintains some level of classical integrity after passing the event horizon - otherwise shit would just instantly be obliterated as it passes through, which isn't the case. "Space" still exists beyond the event horizon, it just eventually breaks down or whatever as it gets closer to the singularity.

Do we know or understand anything about this circumstance?

Don't mislead him. Both the idea that information is destroyed at the surface of the event horizon, and the concept of gravastars are not largely supported.

From the premise of your question it sounds like you understand that this ought to be possible for a sufficiently large outer black hole.

>My questions are: Can a black hole form inside another black hole? What is the experience of that region of space time? What happens to the new singularity and how does it interact with the already existing singularity?
That sounds like a good project to give a beginning graduate student in numerical relativity. Maybe you can sit down and think about what it ought to be qualitatively, but I doubt this could be solved analytically. If you are the guy from that other thread on black holes, maybe you know enough to try working this out yourself, and you might even be able to publish your own paper if no one has done this before.
