There are also fractal bastards, who are uniformly lousy at any zoom level

Technically it only describes spherical bastards in a vacuum.
Well spherical bastards rapidly deteriorate if put in a vacuum
Not if you assume no friction.
I’d say it describes spherical bastards in the absence of an extrenal bastardness field.
What if the bastard is also fat, so they are physically spherical as well?
Spherical in multiple dimensions
I love it!
I love you!

It’s just a variation of the old physics joke about a Spherical cow.
Not really? The joke about the spherical cow is about reducing a problem to a hyper-simplified version to make computation easier at the cost of accuracy.
The spherical bastard is more a joke about mathematical projections, since a sphere looks the same from any angle.
Oh, yeah, haha, very funny joke. Or you could treat the topic with the gravity it deserves:
Fritz Zwicky was truly insane. He claimed the sun was powered by dwarves and that the solution to interstellar travel was to move our entire solar system from place to place.
I think he called them “nuclear goblins,” not dwarves. And they weren’t actual mythological creatures, just a silly nickname for “bodies of nuclear density” which floated around inside stars, and exploded when they got too far out from the core, causing solar flares.
The concept of moving the entire solar system is fascinating though. It was used in Larry Niven’s “known space” series of novels.
I mean, moving the whole solar system just makes sense at a certain level of energy expenditure - if you are already generating enough power to do interstellar travel, might as well take the whole house with you. Sucks if you live here and don’t like the new travel direction of the system though, I guess. Find a new solar system to live in at that point?
Farnsworths ancestor?
I wonder if there’s an etymological connection to cuntybaws https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cuntybaws
what else would matter look like in space? isn’t it all black–all dark?
this is just an uneducated observation but modern geniuses don’t accomplish much other than coming up with buzzwords.
I will delete my reply if you delete your comment, you sound extremely foolish and this is embarrassing for you.
Like if all uneducated observations were spherical
Yeah, let’s leave it to Metal fans. They would maybe call it “nothing else matter”
Call the exorcist!
