        Basically there was a run where Mario suddenly glitched upward to the ceiling on Tick Tock Clock.

        It has never been replicated and enthusiasts most familiar with the game code have no idea what could have caused Mario to suddenly upwarp in that circumstance, so the possibility of it being a freak instance of radiation causing the occurrence has become plausible.

      Information can't travel faster than light, so no. Teleportation stuff is achieved by quantum entanglement, but you first need to deliver entangled particles to the site you want teleport to. They also cant carry different sets of information over time, moron analogy: if you throw one of your socks into space and put the other one on your right/left leg, the sock in the space immediately becomes left/right one, but it cant become a glove if you cut the one that is on earth in pieces and make a glove out of it

        Not quite, you can prepare 2 entangled states beforehand and send an arbitrary state over that doesn't need to be decided beforehand.
        What makes it slower than light is the fact that in order to do the teleport the person on the sending end needs to make a measurement and tell the other person of the result twice

      iirc you can measure the state of two particles "faster" than the speed of light because they are very far apart. But you cannot send any data over this "connection" without using slower than light methods which makes it pointless in any practical sense.

          Anon that's not the point. I agree with you, it takes 1 "unit of speed of light" to create X amounts of "shadow speed of light". But "shadow speed of light" is COMMUNICATION. It is acquisition of information.

          I can acquire information from (and to) shadow information from locations that would otherwise take many years of speed of light.

          You can use this conditionally to not only obtain it, but also process it in other types of useful information.

      darkness literally travels at the same speed as light. If you turn off a light, the photons that were last emitted still take an amount of time to reach you, which is the amount of time it takes for the darkness to catch up.

        the observable universe is the set of everything within radius X where X is the age of the universe, since that's how much time light has had to travel towards the earth from its origin
        if the speed of light was, say, 5 times higher then the radius would be 5 times bigger and that would probably include more stuff illuminating the night sky

          Holy shit that is insane, think that at any moment a new sun can just pop out of existence because its light just finally reached us. We could very well be in the aim of a dangerous amount of radiation, even, and there is no way whatsoever to know other than maybe finding the CORPSES of the planet?

            Yes but not quite like that.
            You would first see the gas/dust forming into a star then the light from the star.

            The act of looking is the act of peering into the past as the further you look the longer light takes to reach us and hence the older the information we get is.
            So rather than a sun just appearing we'd see its full cycle from any light that bounces off it from other things or, once it becomes a star, from any light it generates.

    I'll never understand lights and this kind of shit. Like, supposedly it spreads out evenly but then how does it know to go in a straight line sometimes?
    How does it know to go straight into the sun and then fly towards the earth? Is it because of Earth's gravity and atmosphere that pulls the light? But then how come there is day and night? Like, how does light know when to dissipate?

      >but then how does it know to go in a straight line sometimes?
      It always goes in straight lines.
      The best way to think of this is to draw straight lines on paper then by bending the paper you induce curve.

      Covers a neet example with a weight on a sheet, just imagine drawing straight lines on the sheet before adding the weight, with the weight the straight lines near it would seem to bend around it.
      >How does it know to go straight into the sun and then fly towards the earth?
      The sun emits light from every angle, some will go back in but a lot will be sent away from the sun because it's emitting in every direction.
      Then because it's going in every direction it will happen to hit earth rather than fly towards it.
      > Is it because of Earth's gravity and atmosphere that pulls the light?
      The earth's gravity does pull it a bit but it's not really enough to cause major effects, it's like a lighter weight was put on the video above.
      If the earth were much much heavier you would see weird effects like seeing the sun while being

          The best answer I can give to that is that it's an excitation of the electromagnetic field in a particular manner.

          At some level, the source goes through a process to release some energy as an electromagnetic field radiating away.
          For example, you often see colour because an atom had an electron move around to a lower energy level.
          That movement caused the electron to lose energy because it's a charged particle that emits an electromagnetic field moving closer to an attractive charge (kinda similar to how you would lose gravitational potential energy by moving closer to the ground).
          The result of that charge moving caused the electromagnetic field to be excited resulting in the emission of light.
