  • You say thats not valid criticism, but yet I can’t think of another language that has a debate over semicolons.

    Maybe that’s just me not be exposed in my career to more ones like that, and there are still petty squables in every language yes.

    But the fact you have to have the second paragraph, and defend it, is the problem your replying to. something so core to a language like line ending syntax, is figured out in all other laugauges. You don’t have to mentally be prepared to unfril that layer of syntax.

  • Nope!

    Information can only travel at the speed of light.

    During my undergraduate CERN did this experiment (a decade ago now).

    And they had the shocking result of the second wave function collapsed faster than c.

    That was until a clock was found to be loosley connected and caused a timing error, that would account for the slower than c speed.


  • It actually is.

    Distance itself is expanding in the universe. Like two dots on an expanding balloon doesn’t mean there’s less balloon, its just the distance itself that expanded.

    And the further something is away from you, the more distanve there is to expand. Meaning it moves faster the farther away it is.

    What can not travel faster than the speed of light is ‘information’. So we have to wait even longer for light and information about a distant object to get here.
