I have borrowed some "wisdom" in how particles interact. They exchange particles back and forth which strengthen their interaction. That's what I do generally in real life. I sort of share happenings in my life as a sort of nano-influencer within my group of friends. I would say the advice in the blogpost works, sort of. Even if my "contributions" go into a blackhole, I think atleast the ephemeral Universe is watching what I do.
- tome 1y ago> I have borrowed some "wisdom" in how particles interact. They exchange particles back and forth If particles interact by exchanging particles, how do they interact with the particles they exchange?
- saghm 1y agoI'm not sure I understand this question. If I hand someone a book, we're both interacting with the book as well as each other, so why wouldn't this also hold true for particles?
- lupire 1y agoIs it particle turtles all the way down?
- saghm 1y agoI don't see why the answer to that question affects whether particles can interact by exchanging particles with each other. To be clear, I'm not taking a stance on whether that's an accurate description of how particles work, but I don't think that it's somehow logically incoherent.
- tome 1y agoThe point wasn't that particles can interact that way, but that that is how they interact. But that requires infinite regression. (That needn't necessarily be a problem, but it does need a justification.)
- nthingtohide 1y agoWe already have mathematical metaphors of such infinity compressed in finite regions. E.g. statistical self-similarity of mandelbrot fractal.
