relative futility

As it pertains to economic "Law of Diminishing Returns", and Maslow
relative futility is the measure of fucks you are obligated to risk on

a useless venture.
This is reached when the odds of a return on the investment = LESS THAN ZERO

The relative futility of meeting an active brain cell in this dump is absolute,

so I save 10 bucks if I PASS on that useless venture!
Karmic return = Finding 8$ STNG Collector's set "Dixon Hill" and "Gloria"
at nerd shop down the street = "SO MUCH WIN"

cultural relativism

The idea that a person's beliefs should not be used to judge another culture.

Person 1: That country is disgusting with their ritual baby murders, female genital mutalation, and torturing of innocent people.

Person 2: Man, you have no cultural relativism! Don't use your humanitarian values to judge another culture!

Realtime shitposting

Sitting on the toilet while writing a spiteful forum post and then pressing the post button just as you back one out.

There was a certain force and je ne sais quoi to Sam's post, he must have been realtime shitposting.

relative motion nigger theory

When one nigger runs, all the other niggers within a 20-meter radius also run because they assume a white police officer is chasing him.

Bob: "Why do all niggers run together even though none of them committed a crime? It takes fucking forever to sort them out at the police station and half the time we just charge all of them with rape."

John: "Thats the relative motion nigger theory in full effect."

General Relativity

A theory which states that space and time are actually a four-dimensional continuum known as "spacetime", and that gravity is a manifestation of the curvature of the geometry of this four-dimensional spacetime. General Relativity explains the gravitational bending of starlight, how gravity slows down the flow of time, predicts the existence of blackholes, and even predicts the expansion of the universe. The theory was formulated by Albert Einstein in order to incorporate gravity into his theory of relativity.

The famous eclipse experiment of 1919 confirmed Einstein's prediction that light rays would bend in a gravitational field, according to his theory of general relativity.

relativity

Formally known as the Theory of Special Relativity, formulated by Albert Einstein in 1905.

Deals with the perception of time and distance by observers in different frames of reference which are moving with respect to each other. An observer in one frame perceives that time is slower and distances are shorter in a different frame.

Also postulates that the speed of light is perceived to be the same in every frame of reference, and that no form of matter or energy can travel faster than light.

Relativity is the feeling that time slows down that you get when you're around your relatives.
