On social media sites like Facebook. I know most of them show up because you have mutual friends. And I think others that show up are people viewing your profile. Am I wrong? And I also heard other members show up because if you have location services turned on your Apps. What do you guys think?

Hard to say exactly how people show up as friend recommendations. I have probably close to 300 pending friend request on my Facebook, I hate Facebook, but I like the Shelby group pages, so I stay on there for that. But I don't understand why so many people find it necessary to post every part of there life on that place.

My ex girlfriend with no mutual friends showed up because she viewed my profile. And she was using a fake last name. Lol

If they have access to your contacts in your phone, it will pull people up that way as well.

I typically disallow anything like that, I think there was an update or something that allowed it a while back and all of a sudden I was getting friend suggestions based on "in your contacts."

Immediately shut that shit off.

Who cares. Ignore them.

All I get on my FB is car stuff, real estate, and work stuff.

Same reason I have one. Also don't have the app. Just use it on my laptop.

I have no friends on it. And every couple days when I open Facebook it shows a list of people and says "try sending 5 friend requests"

What do I think? I think gravity will be discovered to not be mediated by quantum mechanics in any way, rather, gravity, space and time are just "emergent phenomena," i.e., what you get, when you get enough wavefunctions behaving like particles in one place. The minimum amount of particles necessary is the amount required to bend space slightly more than the Planck volume. Then spacetime pops up out of the whole mix. Now you've got rocks moving in circles, light bending around large masses, etc, and all of it thinking it is just moving in straight lines. Because it's the spacetime that's bent.

I think information is not lost in black holes. If you could get the contents back out, you'd have a "soup" of up & down quarks, and electrons. As far as quantum mechanics is concerned, everything is made up of only those three particles. So that's the only information the universe cares about.

I think black holes cannot truly "evaporate" via Hawking radiation. The way it works is that two virtual particles pop into existence. One happens to occur on the wrong side of the event horizon, making the particle outside the horizon "real," thus carrying away some of the mass of the hole. HOWEVER! Once the event horizon shrinks to less than the Planck volume, no other particles can pop into existence on the wrong side of the hole, so the hole can't lose any further mass, and it can't ever feed again, because it's too small. It may take a while for this to occur.

The past is classical. The future is quantum. The point at where the wave function collapses to classical is the present. It's all about them dang 'ol wave functions, man, I tell you what!

Sorry, what was the question?

Do you know anyone on Facebook?

The buy/sell groups are the only reason to be on Facebook and would recommend not using your real name. Other than that it's a cesspool of stupidity.
