what are 'space-time' wave packets then?


Essentially, in this paper it's a light wave were the spatial and temporal dimensions are not easily separable. What the authors seem to do here is essentially do a time dependent spatial correlation of a light pulse, which then exhibits "unintuitive" properties. The paper reads a little bit, like several similar papers in the field, where something relatively trivial is packed into a nice sounding story. That said I have not read the details yet and there might be something more profound.


Dunno why this comment was dead, I'd love to see a good ELI5 here


The quantum mechanical probability wave (which is a photon, or maybe there's a difference, but we don't know yet).


Concur. I found Gradle to be to far removed from the truth so to speak. I like Maven's declarative xml and its promulgation of the build life-cycle. This makes a complex build easier to maintain in the long run imo.


That one about _blank hrefs - Good one! Thank you.


Yes. It resembles Ratpack on the Java side.


Well speaking Java 8, this java to html library is clean, mean and tight: https://j2html.com


This is an important point to make imo. The human brain works better at knowledge retention on the "why" category more than the "how" indeed.


Why is making connections to prior experience, turning knowledge into wisdom, and gaining a unique perspective on truth. It's a completely different game than stacking facts on top of each other. Why is creative, and what is created can never be taken away; how is useless once obsolete.


"I did this 10 years ago..." True dat.


à propos. Thank you for this timeless and wondrous proof!
