#dear universe: thank you for the science research help. please stop being spooky

[sheliesshattered]

the number of times that I've been actively researching a scientific topic in preparation for writing a sci-fi story that incorporates that topic

and then brand new info on that topic is released into the scientific community. while I'm in the midst of reading up on it

is too damn high, and honestly starting to get a little spooky

#this week's example isn't nearly so ridiculous as the time I had to reload the wikipedia article I was in the middle of reading #because Stephen Fucking Hawking had released a new paper *since I opened the wiki article two days earlier* #that changed the whole fucking understanding of the field #that's still the high water mark in my ongoing saga of 'why is science doing this to me I'm just trying to write science fiction' #by comparison this week's is pretty minor #'oh you wanna get back into research for a story that involves a massive solarstorm? HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A MASSIVE SOLARSTORM RIGHT TF NOW?' #this happens to me. so often. I don't even know what to think any more. #at least there are lots of new articles to read and videos to watch I guess??? #dear universe: thank you for the science research help. please stop being spooky #or at least restrain your spookiness to spooky action at a distance #or. wait. maybe that's what this is #maybe it's all spooky action at a distance lmao #maybe I should put down the solarstorm research and get back into the quantum physics research #at some point I do actually need to write all these stories #tagtalking #2024 mood #2015 mood #process thoughts
