Photo Bomb Time! Last night we went to Terra Luna, a light and performance show put on at the Overland Park, KS, USA Arboretum & Botanical Gardens. This is a show where you walk along a predetermined path to see all of the wonders. While it may seem overwhelming to many, it's for the most part quite peaceful. You have performers through out playing soothing music. And the Arboretum has quiet rooms if you do get overstimulated!

My wife took these pictures.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

I’m dying to tell someone, because I very much need some rational human eyes on it to tell me whether I’m batshit insane or not. But it’s quantum physics, and traditionally that is the domain of basement-dwelling neckbeard incels trying to sound smart, or impress someone on their dating profile. I realize these may be unfair generalizations, but they do very much exist in my experience. Also it’s really complicated? 🤷‍♂️.

also I’m afraid of someone stealing my ideas, and I don’t know how realistic a concern that is in scientific circles 😬

Not to be rude but if you have no professional background in physics then it is unlikely what you have written is something so groundbreaking that it's going to be stolen. Nothing wrong with writing hobby papers for fun but I think you need to put into perspective what you are actually doing.

You can’t possibly think that’s not rude.

They're 100% right and phrased it as nicely as possible.
