Attachment to physical phenomena as being the ground of reality is an illusion created by mind.

yeah
you don't need that spoon putting stuff into your mouth... that's illusion... stop it immediately.and never do again %^)))
In the box conditioned thinking and reified belief. Both limiting. Just as the power structures of capitalism and Christianity have decreed.
BTW, straws work just as well as spoons for liquids. Forks for pie and cake. Chopsticks for most others.
One FOR, and another AGAINST Juan Maldacena's argument... that "Consciousness" is fundamental, and Space-Time is merely an emergent property. I'm for the "Geometry" argument. ;)
Oooops... Consciusness was Donald Hoffman's argument, not Juan Maldacena's...
Hoffman says that the geometries are positive, Maldacena say's that they're negative... (anti de Sitter Space)...
from Google AI:
Yes, anti-de Sitter (AdS) space is associated with vacuum energy, specifically featuring a negative vacuum energy density that corresponds to a negative cosmological constant. This negative vacuum energy creates a, highly symmetric, negatively curved spacetime.
Key details regarding vacuum energy in AdS space include:
Negative Energy Density: Unlike our universe, which has a positive vacuum energy causing expansion, AdS space is infused with negative vacuum energy,.
Stability: While vacuum energy can be complex, quantum fields in AdS space can maintain a stable, well-defined vacuum.
Role in Physics: It is frequently used in string theory, often acting as a "ground state" from which other universes can be modeled.
Boundary Effects: Studies show that vacuum energy in AdS can be affected by boundaries, resulting in negative energy density contributions.
While de Sitter space has a positive cosmological constant (positive vacuum energy), anti-de Sitter space serves as a crucial, opposite concept in theoretical physics. For a more in-depth look at how these theories differ in quantum field theory, see this discussion on Physics Stack Exchange.

Physics fun... through fields filled with magnons (for spintronics) and excitons (for optics)... coupled together!
from Google AI:
Excitons (bound electron-hole pairs) and magnons (collective spin excitations) couple in 2D magnetic semiconductors like CrSBr to enable optically controlled spin, where exciton energy is modulated by magnetic spin waves. This coupling acts as a hybrid system where magnons, having spin-1 and no charge, manipulate the electron spins of excitons, which can be tuned by magnetic fields. (enabling photonics and spintronic technologies)
Key Aspects of Exciton-Magnon Spin Interactions
Opto-Spintronics: Excitons, which emit/absorb light, interact with magnon spin waves, introducing a spin degree of freedom to photonics.
Coupling Mechanism: In 2D materials such as CrSBr, excitons interact indirectly through magnons acting as intermediate mediators.
Tunability: The interaction is strongly dependent on the relative angle of spins, which can be tuned from 0 degrees
to 180 degrees via an external magnetic field, vanishing at both parallel (0 degree) and perfectly antiparallel (180 degree) configurations.
Hybridization: Excitons can couple to bright magnons (optically active) and dark magnons (optically inactive) through hybrid modes, which can be modified by strain, note and from the City College of New York.
Exciton and Magnon Properties
Magnons (Spin-1): These are quanta of spin waves, representing fluctuations of the magnetic moment, and can propagate in insulating magnetic materials.
Excitons (Spin-0 or Spin-1): These are Coulomb-bound pairs of electrons and holes. Their spin-dependent energy allows them to react to the magnetic environment created by magnons.
Technological Significance
This interaction enables advanced devices like quantum transducers, which convert magnetic signals to optical signals for potential use in quantum computing. The ability to control these interactions with light and magnetic fields is key to developing all-optical logic gates.
Further research on the properties of spin-excitons, particularly regarding their topological characteristics, can be found in a paper from the National Institutes of Health (.gov) and in a study published in the City College of New York. For a deep dive into the properties of spin-excitons, you can read the ACS Publications study.
more:
Excitons (bound electron-hole pairs) and magnons (collective spin excitations) are emerging as fundamental building blocks for next-generation spin-photonics and spintronics, particularly within 2D van der Waals materials like CrSBr. Their strong coupling enables optical control of spin information, providing a pathway to energy-efficient, ultrafast, and compact devices.
Key Concepts and Applications:
Magnon Spintronics: This field uses magnons (spin waves) to carry information in magnetic insulators, offering low-power alternatives to electronics that avoid Joule heating.
Exciton-Magnon Coupling: In materials like CrSBr, optical excitation (photons) creates excitons, which couple with magnons (spin waves). This interaction, particularly strong in 2D systems, enables optical readout and manipulation of magnetic states, a key component for opto-spintronics and quantum interconnects.
Van der Waals Magnets: 2D materials like CrSBr are crucial, as they allow for strong light-matter interaction to be combined with long-lived, coherent magnons.
Hybrid Magnon-Exciton Polaritons: The hybrid state formed in a CrSBr metasurface creates a magnon-photon interface. This allows for tuning the energy and radiative properties of the system with an external magnetic field.
Advantages: These technologies enable Coherent magnons that can travel over 7 micrometers, facilitating the development of nanometer-scale devices that are more efficient than conventional ones.
The ability to create a "magnon-photon interface" from 2D magnetic semiconductor metasurfaces is a major breakthrough, enabling the creation of functional spintronic, magnonic, and quantum devices. Key research explores these materials for creating a new class of spin-based photonic devices.

With spintronics, you don't need all those ridiculous "Data Centers" creating ridiculous energy demands. It would make Golem and Annie much more energy independent.

I'm not a super-symmetry string theory guy. The "strings" are merely the paths of least action (Feynman) through anti de Sitter Space (the Dirac Sea/ vacuum). ;)
Google AI:
In string theory, the path of least action dictates that a string moves through spacetime by sweeping out a two-dimensional surface—known as a worldsheet—that minimizes its total area. Similar to a particle following a "path of least resistance," the string's action, often described by the Nambu-Goto action, ensures the worldsheet is as small as possible in the curved geometry.
Key Concepts of String Action
Worldsheet Formulation: While particles trace one-dimensional worldlines, strings trace 2D worldsheets, connecting an initial shape to a final shape through time.
Minimal Area Principle: The fundamental string action is proportional to the area of this worldsheet. The "path" taken is the one that minimizes this surface area.
The Nambu-Goto Action: This is the most common mathematical description representing the area of the worldsheet. It states that the action
is proportional to the area of the surface in spacetime.
Polyakov Action: A related mathematical approach that introduces a dynamic metric on the worldsheet, which is often easier to use in quantum calculations than the purely geometric Nambu-Goto action.
Quantum Mechanics and Paths: Like in Feynman’s path integral formulation, a string "explores" all possible worldsheets, but the classical path—the one with the minimum area—dominates, as detailed in David Tong's lectures.
This principle serves as a "principle of least resistance," where the string's motion is determined by minimizing the action, as discussed in this Scholarpedia article and in Wikipedia's guide to Action principle
//I'm not a super-symmetry string theory guy.
Yawn.
There's no metaphysics.
Means -- there no "strings", "curved space-time", "bozons and fermions"ir whatever.
That is alljust a MODELS.
I, as programmer, know it very well -- as for example there is "physics" in computer games.
And that physics even looks like real world *BUT* I do know how it looklike from inside ;-p
Means, I know TRUE meta-physics. ;-)

""The Little Prince meets a lonely monarch on the first asteroid he visits. The King, desperate for a subject, demands absolute obedience but only issues reasonable commands. The conversation satirizes the absurdity of adult authority and highlights the importance of logic over blind power.
Key Moments from Their ConversationThe Need for Subjects: The King is the sole inhabitant of his tiny planet. When the Little Prince arrives, the King is overjoyed to finally have a "subject" to command.
Reasonable Commands: The King insists on total obedience. However, he believes authority must be based on reason. For instance, rather than commanding the sun to set at midday, he waits until evening to order it, based on his "science of government".
The Desire for a Sunset: Feeling homesick and sad, the Little Prince asks the King to order the sun to set. The King agrees but stalls, checking his almanac to wait for the scientifically correct time.
The Definition of Rule: The Prince asks what the King actually controls. The King grandly claims to rule over the entire universe and the stars. Impressed but skeptical, the Prince asks if the stars obey his orders. The King confirms they do, but only because he tolerates no disobedience.The Underlying MessageThe King represents the human obsession with control and status. Through their interaction, the Prince realizes that while adults care deeply about ruling and issuing decrees, true authority means very little when no one is truly impacted. The King ultimately relies on the Prince to console himself and make his lonely existence feel important.You can read the full text of their encounter in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry – The Little Prince - Chapter 10.

Google AI:
This Friedrich Nietzsche quote, often cited from Twilight of the Idols, is: “What? You seek something? You wish to multiply yourself tenfold, a hundredfold? You seek followers? Seek zeros!”. It criticizes leaders who want unthinking followers rather than peers.
In Plato's "Laws" he speaks of doctors of free men, and doctors of slaves. For the first, you need "words, words, words". For the second, you need only the 'C' in R.I.C.E. for "motivation".
from the Jowett summary of Plato's "Laws":
The old men are afraid of the ridicule which 'will fall on their heads more than enough,' and they do not often indulge in a joke. In one of the few which occur, the book of the Laws, if left incomplete, is compared to a monster wandering about without a head. But we no longer breathe the atmosphere of humour which pervades the Symposium and the Euthydemus, in which we pass within a few sentences from the broadest Aristophanic joke to the subtlest refinement of wit and fancy; instead of this, in the Laws an impression of baldness and feebleness is often left upon our minds. Some of the most amusing descriptions, as, for example, of children roaring for the first three years of life; or of the Athenians walking into the country with fighting-cocks under their arms; or of the slave doctor who knocks about his patients finely; and the gentleman doctor who courteously persuades them; or of the way of keeping order in the theatre, 'by a hint from a stick,' are narrated with a commonplace gravity; but where we find this sort of dry humour we shall not be far wrong in thinking that the writer intended to make us laugh. The seriousness of age takes the place of the jollity of youth. Life should have holidays and festivals; yet we rebuke ourselves when we laugh, and take our pleasures sadly. The irony of the earlier dialogues, of which some traces occur in the tenth book, is replaced by a severity which hardly condescends to regard human things. 'Let us say, if you please, that man is of some account, but I was speaking of him in comparison with God.'
The imagery and illustrations are poor in themselves, and are not assisted by the surrounding phraseology. We have seen how in the Republic, and in the earlier dialogues, figures of speech such as 'the wave,' 'the drone,' 'the chase,' 'the bride,' appear and reappear at intervals. Notes are struck which are repeated from time to time, as in a strain of music. There is none of this subtle art in the Laws. The illustrations, such as the two kinds of doctors, 'the three kinds of funerals,' the fear potion, the puppet, the painter leaving a successor to restore his picture, the 'person stopping to consider where three ways meet,' the 'old laws about water of which he will not divert the course,' can hardly be said to do much credit to Plato's invention. The citations from the poets have lost that fanciful character which gave them their charm in the earlier dialogues. We are tired of images taken from the arts of navigation, or archery, or weaving, or painting, or medicine, or music. Yet the comparisons of life to a tragedy, or of the working of mind to the revolution of the self-moved, or of the aged parent to the image of a God dwelling in the house, or the reflection that 'man is made to be the plaything of God, and that this rightly considered is the best of him,' have great beauty.
Why "Laws" require "Preambles" (like the preamle to the US Constitution
'Long and steep is the first half of the way to virtue, But when you have reached the top the rest is easy.'
'Those are excellent words.' Yes; but may I tell you the effect which the preceding discourse has had upon me? I will express my meaning in an address to the lawgiver:—O lawgiver, if you know what we ought to do and say, you can surely tell us;—you are not like the poet, who, as you were just now saying, does not know the effect of his own words. And the poet may reply, that when he sits down on the tripod of the Muses he is not in his right mind, and that being a mere imitator he may be allowed to say all sorts of opposite things, and cannot tell which of them is true. But this licence cannot be allowed to the lawgiver. For example, there are three kinds of funerals; one of them is excessive, another mean, a third moderate, and you say that the last is right. Now if I had a rich wife, and she told me to bury her, and I were to sing of her burial, I should praise the extravagant kind; a poor man would commend a funeral of the meaner sort, and a man of moderate means would prefer a moderate funeral. But you, as legislator, would have to say exactly what you meant by 'moderate.' 'Very true.' And is our lawgiver to have no preamble or interpretation of his laws, never offering a word of advice to his subjects, after the manner of some doctors? For of doctors are there not two kinds? The one gentle and the other rough, doctors who are freemen and learn themselves and teach their pupils scientifically, and doctor's assistants who get their knowledge empirically by attending on their masters? 'Of course there are.' And did you ever observe that the gentlemen doctors practise upon freemen, and that slave doctors confine themselves to slaves? The latter go about the country or wait for the slaves at the dispensaries. They hold no parley with their patients about their diseases or the remedies of them; they practise by the rule of thumb, and give their decrees in the most arbitrary manner. When they have doctored one patient they run off to another, whom they treat with equal assurance, their duty being to relieve the master of the care of his sick slaves. But the other doctor, who practises on freemen, proceeds in quite a different way. He takes counsel with his patient and learns from him, and never does anything until he has persuaded him of what he is doing. He trusts to influence rather than force. Now is not the use of both methods far better than the use of either alone? And both together may be advantageously employed by us in legislation.
