Make all molecules to behave differently if observed
wishes are basically reality warping to varying extent, although most wishes dont work on a universal scale
Double all constants
Ok, it’s not 2PiR now, but just PiR. Given how often 2Pi is used some mathematicians will actually be happy. Would be a mess with other constants though.
Edit. Also all the people in IT will have a terrible week trying to figure out why their programs started working weird, then figuring out why they even need those constants. Log messages would be funny though.
I have a feeling you’ll love tau.
I was talking more about physical constants, like magnetism, gravity, planck, etc. But sure, mathematical ones work, too. Probably even worse than physical constants doubling, since the doubling of mathematical ones would imply the corruption of reality itself.
Kinda hard when there’s only one electron in the universe.
poor buddy gonna have to work overtime
Doesn’t that make it waaaaaaaay easier?
Except that now there’s a second - the genie is right to be pissed!? :-P
There’s also only one brain cell that we all share.
That’s your wish? It’s really negative.
Mine would be to remove a chromossome from evangelicals lol
Lol just an x chromosome lol. Don’t worry about the men
one chromosome per person seems easy to recover from
Yeah, except for Chromosomes Georg. He was an outlier and should not have been counted.

Depends which one, I guess 🤷🏻
You could remove the X chromosome so all of them now have Y, but that is lethal.
I want one random atom to be one plank unit shifted to the left at the beginning of the universe.

Did you just initiate the big bang?
First wish was to repeal Bernoulli’s principle
The second was doubling the mass of a photon
Bah. Give photons the same charge as electrons. That outta show those SOBs.
What would that do to a star’s interior?
2 * 0 = 0
Doubling the mass of photons is no change.
Repealing Bournoulli’s principle requires changing how kinetic collisions of molecules translates into bulk measurables like pressure and density. There’s no way to predict what that does without first specifying more about what changes are made.
Just pour salt on the universe and make it turn inside out.
This creates a white hole, and also destroys the universe.
/s
[note: I thought the OP said “proton”]
Best case? atoms shrink slightly and some changes to how chemistry works
Realistic case? The change in nuclear binding energies renders protons unstable, making many elements unstable or radioactive. All matter suddenly becomes much heavier, changing gravity and internal pressure, which in turn disrupts stellar and planetary structures. Fusion reactions depend on precise mass differences between particles, which may alter how stars generate energy, or completely prevent them from forming altogether. Additionally, since proton mass is tied to the strong nuclear force, it will fundamentally alter physics, and it’s likely that protons will decay into neutrons, preventing atoms from existing at all.
The first wish would affect how fluids act under pressure, including how our blood would move throughout our bodies. Depending on the exact effects, the wisher may not even get the chance to make the second wish because their blood would either stop moving, or they would drop to ground as every capillary in their body ruptures causing an immediate loss of blood pressure, quickly followed by loss of consciousness and then death.
IF they live long enough to make the second wish, then they probably wouldn’t live long enough to make the third.
That’s neat, but he said photon, as in the light particle
Wow, I totally missed that. I need to start wearing my glasses🤦♂️
I must have just assumed proton, since photons have zero rest mass and doubling that wouldn’t change anything.The photons from the h must have been delayed due to their mass doubling.
Its turns the universe into a nuke…
Make Binomi a real renaissance Italian mathematician, so that we can finally know who came up with the binomial formulas.
- Switch all protons and neutrons of the universe
- Set PI = 3
Who says pi has to be a constant at all?
Go ahead and sign up for a non-euclidean geometry course. Constant pi assumes flat geometry, and I’m ok with that.
Woah, that would be trippy
Pi can be equal to whatever you want, as long as you’re using a number base that accounts for it. Pi is only an irrational number because base-10 is a rational base. You could create a number base that sets pi equal to 1, if you wanted.
Photons don’t have mass tho
Any chance this is one of those situations where granting the first wish would kill you before you could make the second wish?
Nah, except if you are in a plane
Although I am not sure if anything in the human body relies on the big berni, but if not you are golden
Why not change the measure of the nuclear efficiency of fusion from hydrogen to helium, to be from 0.007 into 0.006?
Boom, now only hydrogen can be made.
Or if we put it to 0.008, boom, now everything fuses way faster.
I’d go with making each next proton in the universe an anti proton
Maybe that’s already the case, just out of our event horizon
There is, afaik, no explanation why there is more matter than anti matter, so maybe we just don’t see it
Like, dark side of the universe or something ;-)

This is the baryon asymmetry problem, and indeed, one of the proposed solutions is an “anti-universe” that flows backwards in time. The theory goes that all the antimatter travelled backwards in time while matter travelled forward from the Big Bang, creating a mirror anti-universe. However, there has been experimental evidence against this theory, as antiparticles seem to move forward in time, just like their matter counterparts.
There are a bunch more theories on how matter dominated the universe, like electroweak baryogenesis and leptopgenesis! Those are a bit more complicated though and are difficult to explain in an internet comment.
Imma go ahead and postulate that beyond the observable universe is a wall of anti matter, that keeps eating our universe’s matter and neutralizing it.
Prove me wrong! (Don’t.)
Isn’t that the opposite of what we’re “seeing” now with the expanding universe and dark matter (not anti matter) being the reason for space to grow?
Anti matter and matter live inside the space, that dark matter is “producing”
At least that’s my layman interpretation of looking at some videos and reading some stuff
So, I have no clue ;-)
I thought Madam Wu’s experiment provided a starting point for explaining why the universe exists despite its best efforts to annihilate itself. Disclaimer, I have passing interest in physics but I have no formal education on any of it.
Don’t know about that
Can you provide me some more words to search for it or even a link?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_experiment
Wu was one of the few female physicist on the Manhattan project. Absolutely amazing what she accomplished despite having the double whammy of having to overcome racism as well as sexism. Currently on my watch list is a veritasm video that talks about her experiment.
Ah, I see, thank you!
I wish for water to no longer be a bipolar molecule.
