That's like half the fediverse here

The important thing here is that this is about a quasi particle, something that behaves sort of like a particle but is not (like a hole in the electron distribution), in a 2D crystal lattice. This only happens because the lattice is not isotropic, you see a different pattern depending in the direction you look, so having properties change with direction is not totally unexpected. We already have materials with anisotropic thermal conductivity for example.

This won't happen in vacuum as vacuum is isotropic.

I think they want to go through this as quick as possible, so they can lock him forever out of sight so people start forgetting. Kind of what they did with the Unabomber, although here people side more with Luigi, so who knows.

It also comes with a hardware auditor, although you need another trusted graphene phone to use it. I don't know about the details, but sounds very hard to mess with it.

There is absolutely no problem with that. The phone is wiped and encrypted when you flash graphene, and it does an integrity check every time it boots.

You can always buy a second hand one

That person should be publicly shamed for the class traitor they are

It depends which metric definition are you using. The one I wrote is a pseudo-Riemannian metric that is not positive defined.

Normally physicists use that generalized metric definition because spacetime in most cases has a metric signature of (-1, 1, 1, 1). Points with zero distance are not necessarily the same point, they just are in the same null geodesic.

You can make something like this properly by defining a different metric. For example with metric dl^2^ = dx^2^ - dy^2^ the vector (1, 1) has length 0, so you can make a "triangle" with sides of lengths 1, -1 and 0.

Now we are tied to corporations and state as slave-likes
