Finally getting around to finishing up, and posting, my essay on Bloodborne, time, and higher-dimensional horror. Part 0 — Preface

You can just do gravitational wave research in your own time. Don’t wait for data release, just build your own 3km detector and post new events on Substack. And who needs telescopes? You have binoculars. It’s so easy. You don’t need a PhD. It’s just posturing.
There is a great deal wrong with academia and much of its ivory towering endures still, but the answer is not and will not ever be so stupid as “just post it on Substack”.
it’s hard not to feel the universe isn’t a little haunted when all we do is search for the light and song of dead things to understand it. to hear the universe we must feel it ring the fabric of time and space. it can be seen at night alone, in the quiet hours. cosmic ghosts.
astrophysics has truly lost the plot we are putting tiny black holes inside neutron stars, making dark matter that acts like dark energy, and trying to find exoplanets 10 billion light years away
