Centrifugal Force
You're being flung outward by systems that pretend to hold you close—the physics of rotation explains why you can't look away.
If you could hear this, it would create a Black Hole...
You're being flung outward by systems that pretend to hold you close—the physics of rotation explains why you can't look away.
You're not scrolling in circles—you're being held in orbit by forces you can't see.
The longer the lever arm, the easier it is to turn you—and the platforms know exactly where to apply pressure.
Once you start spinning in the attention economy, conservation laws guarantee you can't simply stop—you can only transfer your momentum elsewhere.
Objects in motion stay in motion—until you realize you've been scrolling for three hours.
In physics, momentum is mass times velocity—but in the attention economy, you are the mass being accelerated through infinite scroll.
In physics, friction resists motion—in digital space, its absence makes you slide effortlessly toward surrender.
You are not hearing an echo. You are trapped in a standing wave you helped build. Each click reflects back, amplifies, and narrows the chamber until only your resonant frequency remains.
Einstein showed us that time is not absolute. Gravity warps spacetime. Your feed is a gravity well—five minutes becomes an hour.
Your data has a half-life. It decays, but never disappears completely. The mathematics of forgetting are elegant and inexorable: every fixed period, half vanishes. Yet traces remain forever.
