Here is my stab with a rusty spoon (i.e. a very bad analogy based on the link you provided) Particles are like boats on a flat lake, the 2D surface of the lake representing our 3D universe. Without an anchor (massless objects) they go racing about the lake, as the current directs them. If they have mass then they have an anchor hanging down into the lake. This will not simply hang down, as the water is not thick enough, but will swing back and forth like a pendulum. This will cause the boat to oscillate and that will cause ripples. (Just about everything in the analogy is wrong, I'm afraid, but I was trying to emphasize the role the anchor plays and how something can be stationary and still cause ripples.)

But how could the super rich turn that into a pissing contest?

The crap of getting older is that once you start thinking you know everything, you start forgetting it. M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thanks for the free ticket to a fine concert. I quite enjoyed 14:00. I have not heard that portion prior. If you have not yet been dazzled by Yuja Wang permit me to present The Impossible Virtuosity of Yuja Wang - YouTube[^] It made me laugh out loud at the impossibility of her playing.

I only know dos meanings of “huevos”. Learned from cooks and construction workers!

I'd think that maybe three or four models should be enough for Europe. (Also, 640 K should be enough for everyone.) Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

Thanks for the reply. I've already solved it with a server on the phone, but maybe someone comes across this some day and finds it helpful!

Oh, Plenty of real world applications. I just don't think I'll ever trust Elon with any tech decisions that affect chips in my head, seeing how he handled Twitter.
