Relativity FTL Communication

Share definition Flag
A speculative form of faster‑than‑light information transfer that uses principles derived from relativity warp drives—i.e., manipulating spacetime geometry to carry a signal without locally exceeding light speed. This could involve creating a warp bubble for a light pulse, sending signals through a traversable wormhole, or exploiting relativistic effects to make signals appear superluminal while respecting causality (see Preserved Causality Hypothesis). Unlike quantum entanglement (which cannot transmit usable information), relativity FTL communication would allow sending actual messages across interstellar distances in negligible time.
Example: “The admiral’s order arrived instantly across twenty light‑years thanks to relativity FTL communication, a tiny warp bubble carrying the signal faster than any light pulse.”

Spacetime FTL Communication

Share definition Flag
A broader term for any FTL communication method that manipulates spacetime itself—whether through warp bubbles, wormholes, or metric engineering—rather than using exotic quantum effects or extra dimensions. It presupposes the ability to create and control localized distortions of the metric, enabling signals to take shortcuts through spacetime. It faces the same theoretical challenges as warp drives, including potential causality violations, but proponents argue that a preserved causality hypothesis could resolve those paradoxes.
Example: “The network used spacetime FTL communication, bouncing signals off microscopic wormholes that flickered in and out of existence. Latency was measured not in seconds but in Planck times.”

Theory of FTL Communication

Share definition Flag
A speculative framework for sending information faster than light—using quantum entanglement, tachyons, or spacetime manipulation to beat the light-speed limit. Theory of FTL Communication asks: Could we send messages to distant stars without waiting years? Would FTL communication violate causality? What would it mean for civilization to have instantaneous contact across the galaxy? The theory explores the physics and implications of beating the cosmic speed limit for information.
Theory of FTL Communication "Quantum entanglement seems instantaneous—measure one particle, the other collapses immediately, no matter the distance. FTL Communication theory asks: could we use that to send messages? Physics says no—no information transfer. But what if there's a way? Instant contact with Alpha Centauri would change everything. The theory asks whether everything includes the impossible."

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh

Delta SkyMiles, also known as SkyPesos, is the frequent flyer program of Delta Airlines. It has a very poor value and hard to use.
- I'm trying to book an award flight to Paris, but I only have 70,000 SkyPesos
- Just forget about it, you don't have enough SkyPesos to fly anywhere.

Hate Draft

Share definition Flag
1. Select a player (real or fantasy) during a sports draft to spite or anger one or more of your opponents because they had intended to select him/her.

2. Select a player (real or fantasy) during a sport draft to put one or more of your opponents at a strategic disadvantage.
1. Billy hate drafted Chad OchoCinco because he knew Sam had wanted him since he is from Cincinnati. Billy already had plenty of players to fill that position but wanted to make sure Sam didn't get him.

2. Billy hate drafted Peyton Manning because he was the only good quarterback left and he knew Sam had been planning on drafting him.

Utility beer 

Share definition Flag
Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
