There's nothing inherently wrong with video games as a medium, it just hasn't found its mozart yet. People play games looking for artistic value in the story, or composition of art assets that make up the game, but the fact of the matter is games are really about rulesets and choices, and in some sense those abstract structures are given meaning by art assets that communicate symbolic, qualitative meaning. Imagine if Dark Souls played the credits every time you died and jumped you to NG+ and every time you actually completed the game, it displayed the "YOU DIED" and then, I don't know, maybe it sent you to a random bonfire? It's the symbols of games that give the abstract structure of its rules meaning, and the placement of symbols in structures that communicate it as a piece of art. Dying in Dark Souls is "bad," beating bosses is "good," and I don't say that lightly or to demean Dark Souls in some relativistic way. But the fact of the matter is games don't have anybody working on problems of communicating messages via rulesets: instead we have preachy art pieces in between structures that promote system mastery. Again, there's nothing wrong with system mastery: video games that undergo that are beautiful, like symphonies, in their own right. But until video games develop rulesets outside of system mastery, you simply won't get them validated as art. Only once you understand evil can you contrast it with good, only once you see a wrong answer can you in some sense find the right answer.

So, I've run into a slight duality in physics.

People always talk about differential rotations as they pertain to galactic movement and such.

BUT, doesn't this necessarily imply that the rules of differential rotation affect every inelastic rotating system in the universe?

Also, what effect would differential rotation have in the time dimension and imaginary time dimension?

Probability moves faster than the speed of light.
>nb4 NO IT DOESN'T
Yes it does, you can prove this in literally five seconds with a grid, and a few points on the grid.
