What’s the name of that Talking Heads compilation?

Ask Science@lemmy.world•If the difference between electrons and positrons, or quarks and antiquarks, is having opposite charge, what's the difference between chargeless neutrinos and antineutrinos?English
2·2 years agoPhotons can interfere creatively or destructively with each other, but they don’t annihilate on contact, they do not interact with each other that way. I am also pretty sure the same applies for gluons, and I have no idea what the deal is with the two Weak Force bosons, which have mass even though they are bosons!
The Weak Force is a very, very strange, abstract, lovely thing, and if you have a coin with Electromagnetism on one side, the Weak Force on the other side, and flip it with enough energy, that’s when they realized that at higher levels it’s actually the Electroweak Force.

2·2 years agoIf that is so, if neutrinos really are their own antiparticle, would that theoretically mean that there is no such thing as neutrino annihilation?
Like photons, which are their own antiparticle, and don’t annihilate on contact with each other, but those are bosons with a completely different spin, and also have zero rest mass, unlike neutrinos/antineutrinos, which DO have mass, but seem to somehow draw it out from something other than the Higgs Field.

6·2 years agoWhich is more improbable: that, or there being no hallucinogenic drugs in Kirk and Spock’s time?
If they can easily manipulate molecules to make sheets of materials like transparent aluminum, AND they seem to keep an illegal stash of Romulan Pale Ale, imagine the mind-bending mind-enhancing substances they can come up with four centuries from now, yet square-jawed Kirk seems completely oblivious to the whole concept.
This comic makes it sound like there was a more ideal, noble savage past, and we got corrupted from it.
What I’m saying this: this comic falls into the trap it itself is writing about.
I’m addicted to geodesics.

Then I did nothing about it between presidential elections. Nothing. Did not lift a single goddamned finger. Four years later, I demand the party cater to me, Me, ME. An utterly useless deadweight. And smug about it.
Not just any ol’ Google, but Google Maps, no less!

2·2 years agoThat burger in Iron Man definitely should have been In-n-Out to be believable, no 00s hip LA playboy billionaire would have settled for anything less and Burger King in there was like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Here’s how the scene should have played:
Tony Stark is late for the press conference because there was a long line at the In-n-Out on the way from the airport, even though there were only a couple of cars in line at the BK across the street, BK was not an option!

All I know is that when matter and antimatter particles annihilate, what that usually means is that they become photons, their rest mass, what we usually mean when we say matter itself, is gone, having turned into pure energy, mainly gamma rays I believe.
The other part that you allude to, has to do with how at the quantum level, processes are time-symmetric or time-reversible, look exactly the same if you view their behavior forwards or in reverse, you cannot tell which way it’s going. Antimatter behaves just like matter, but from our perspective like an egg un-breaking, or a car un-crashing, or an ice cube un-melting.
What’s puzzling me is how photons, other bosons like gluons or majorana particles are supposed to be their own anti-particle, how does that affect their time-related behavior and interactions with themselves and other particles, I have no idea… at least not yet.
In fact, I hadn’t even thought about this strange question until just now, and I love it!
