Maybe physics needs a more holistic light theory based on stillness and the two-way motion of each phenomena in the cosmos: https://wikischool.org/divided_light
I had a short browse and I was really impressed by how much nicer to read you have managed to make wikipedia. Normally I much prefer static HTML to whatever mess the latest javascript framework manages to conjure up but what you've done really seems to work.
The text actually fills the screen rather than just hiding in the gutter on the left, and even though you've removed most styling cues around links and actions, it's done in a way that it's still obvious what everything does, so the main content can be clearer.
The dynamic sidebar table of contents is also particularly effective - on desktop, everybody has a widescreen monitor now and it's disappointing now few sites take advantage of it.
My only two critical points are your choice of typeface, which is awful and significantly degrades the experience (browsing with fonts turned off is a great improvement), and the speed - not only does clicking a link take several seconds to do something but there isn't really any indication whether things are happening or not.
Thanks for the feedback. There will be a "font-switch" option and I may need to do some user testing for the best default font.
The speed issue is really a Wikipedia (and Archive.org) API fetching issue plus some parsing time. I am planning to make the data fetching parallel, but need to do some data-source-code refactoring first. A better loading indication UI will also help.
Nice! I like this idea and look forward to seeing it develop further.
A bug to report: inspired by comments elsewhere in this thread, I searched for "radiation", and your interface is rendering the bulleted list about different kinds of radiation above the actual first paragraph (which ends with "This includes:" to introduce the list).
Agreed. I noticed this too, would be great if the FF devs could implement that very useful feature. It gives an instant overview of the search hit distribution on the page.
The ether does not exist. What we call “space” is light decentrated (expanded, radiated). Space is relatively cold, but not without seeming light motion. Therefore “space” is the negative half of the physical universe, while “matter” is the positive half. The pressures of motion between space and matter balance each other out continuously. https://wikischool.org/divided_light
Snappy comebacks aside, your original post is a load of hot nonsense. I’m not sure what argument you’re expecting when you post the lunatic fringe on an article about quantum physics. Your first link is religious, your second a video I’m not clicking, and the third is more of the first religious stuff. How’s this for an argument? I’ll respect your religion if you keep it out of my science.
Non-arguments still. Also, spirituality is not religion, nor is spirituality mutually exclusive with science. Scientism with its snarky, ignorant arrogance is a sad religion.
The video is actually pretty good, your choice though.
Gerald Pollack has also written a small book (full of science!) on the 4th state of matter (crystalline liquid): https://file.io/SGlzL0
“As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clearheaded science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about the atoms this much: There is no matter as such! All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. (…) We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Spirit. This Spirit is the matrix of all matter.” - Max Planck
“Science is incompetent to reason upon the creation of matter itself out of nothing. We have reached the utmost limit of our thinking faculties, when we have admitted that because matter cannot be eternal and self-existent, it must have been created.” - James Clerk Maxwell
Yeah, but maybe those guys were not "real scientists", but just religious lunatics! Downvote, censor and burn them!
