Preservation of Causality Theory

A framework emphasizing that causality is preserved across all physical interactions, no matter how extreme. Preservation of Causality suggests that cause and effect are not just regularities but inviolable structures of reality. Even in quantum mechanics, even in general relativity, even in speculative physics—causes precede effects. The theory doesn't explain how; it posits that preservation is fundamental. It's the physicist's article of faith: causality holds, always and everywhere.
Preservation of Causality Theory "Quantum mechanics seems random—effects without apparent causes. Preservation of Causality says: the causes are just hidden, not absent. Randomness is ignorance, not violation. Causality always wins. The theory is a bet: keep looking for causes, and you'll find them. Causality preserved, always."

Theory of Preservation of Causality

A framework asserting that causality is preserved under all physical transformations—no matter how extreme the conditions, cause will always precede effect. Theory of Preservation of Causality suggests that causality isn't just a regularity but an inviolable structure of reality. Even in quantum mechanics, even in black holes, even in speculative FTL scenarios—causality holds. The theory doesn't explain how; it posits that preservation is fundamental. It's the physicist's faith: cause before effect, always and everywhere.
Theory of Preservation of Causality "Quantum entanglement seems instantaneous—effect without time for cause. Preservation of Causality says: the cause is just hidden, not absent. Information may travel differently, but causality always wins. The theory is a bet: keep looking, and you'll find the causal chain. Causality preserved, always."

Theory of Preservation of Causality in FTL Scenarios

A framework asserting that causality is preserved absolutely, even under FTL conditions—meaning that no matter how fast you travel, cause will always precede effect in all reference frames. The Theory of Preservation of Causality in FTL Scenarios suggests that FTL doesn't lead to paradox because there's a deeper structure—perhaps a privileged frame, perhaps quantum consistency—that ensures causal order remains intact. Unlike conservation (which allows transformation), preservation insists on invariance: causality is not just balanced but maintained. FTL might be possible, but it will never allow you to change the past because causality itself prevents it.
Theory of Preservation of Causality in FTL Scenarios "Warp drive engaged—faster than light, but when they arrived, they hadn't caused anything that wasn't already caused. Preservation of Causality says: FTL doesn't break causality; it just bends around it. The universe has safeguards. You can go fast, but you can't outrun cause and effect. They're always ahead of you, waiting."

The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
