+
+Also, I would like to learn some general relativity. Although I know the general idea, the

+I've fixed the timezones, so they will now appear correctly. Additionally, I
+have figured out more advanced org-agenda task building, and I will therefore
+use it to build more advanced personal efficiency mechanisms, a set of heuristic
+tools that build more abstract heuristic tools (thus having an exponential effect),
+and also build infrastructure that helps with doing more "useful" tasks.
+
+I've been thinking about this conceptual infrastructure recently, and how primitive
+the average person's infrastructures regarding personal efficiency mechanisms are.
+Emacs and org mode are both examples of personal efficiency mechanisms, and so are
+things like planners, lists, capital, skills, heuristics, journals, notes, and others.

+*** DONE Check if these todos work
+SCHEDULED: <2023-06-22 Thu>
+I am finally trying out using org agenda as a dayplanner,
+and as a result, I want to check if these todos work.
+Additionally, I will be linking my old site to my new one
+(this one).
+** 10:15
+So basically these timestamps work for real now, and this
+todo also works. I have set up exwm in emacs so my qtile
+configuration is no longer being worked on as it is being
+replaced by exwm.
+
+EXWM is nice because the keybindings are consistent. You can
+treat x window buffers in the same way you do text buffers,
+and the modeline can act as a status bar. The modeline has
+battery percentage and time built into it which makes it
+a bar replacement as those two things are the only thing
+I need really.
+
+What's nice is that if there is something going on inside emacs
+and you are in another application, you can see it via the modeline,
+whereas you would need notifications if you were to do this
+in a conventional window manager. For example, i can get irc notifications
+from my emacs irc client by simply glancing at the modeline while I am
+in, say, qutebrowser.
+
+I'm currently looking into xwidgets in order to replace my web browser
+in favor of emacs. If I can do that, then 95% of my computing
+can be done with emacs integration.

+So, today I began looking into using the nyxt browser and integrating it with
+emacs. It's really interesting, actually, you can connect to a repl and have
+the two communicate.
+
+Also, I might update the website's css. This css was meant to be temporary.

+I've realized that switching themes with my configuration is
+really easy because everything is either emacs or my web browser
+(or some other third party application that doesn't need a theme
+anyway). I'm currently trying out the city lights theme, but I will
+probably experiment with more as well.
+
+Today I feel really tired for some reason. Even so, I've been looking
+into category theory and group theory. I don't have any physical books
+on the two subjects, but I do have online copies.

+I haven't done a journal entry for a while, but there are a couple
+of things that are pretty cool and new. I've fixed all my emacs
+config internal bugs, and so the only thing left to do in order
+to make my emacs config perfect is try to do everything in emacs.
+EXWM already sort of achieves this goal, but I want to open the least
+amount of x window buffers as possible as well. Therefore, I've started
+using eww more, and it is actually good. Additionally, I've started
+using GNU Info more and the documentation is actually really good.
+
+I've also been experimenting with eshell. It feels highly integrated
+because of how you can use shell functions as well as lisp functions
+all in one REPL.

+I haven't written a blog post in a while, pain. Basically, recently I have
+been doing not a whole lot because of mood problems revolving around sleep.
+There are a few things that I want to try working towards, and a lot of them
+are internally motivating, but my physical and mental condition is kind of catching up
+to me.
+
+I have gotten evil-mode in mu4e to work because before it did not in doom emacs.
+I am always very tired for some reason and I have no idea why I am tired.
+I guess i could try coffee as a motivator, and that usually works. I think I need
+to exercise more.

+
+* What is Electricity?
+Because this is an introduction and not a lesson in quantum mechanics, I will say that electricity is broadly
+defined by the charge that an object has that corresponds the force that it both feels and also gives
+to other objects. Charge is measured in coulombs and can be negative or positive, which leads us to the man himself:
+
+* Coulomb's Law
+In order to define the phenomena of electric force in the real world, we use
+this experimentally verified law known as Coulomb's Law. Let \( \vec{r_{1}} \) be the displacement
+of a charge \( Q \), and let \( \vec{r_{2}} \) be the displacement of a charge \( q \), where these two charges are named \( P_{1}\) and \( P_{2} \) respectively.
+Then let \( \vec{r} = \vec{r_{1}} - \vec{r_{2}} \) be the distance between the charges. For simplicity, we assume
+these charges have no mass or volume; we call these /point charges/. The equation for the force
+on \( P_{1} \) is as follows:
+
+\begin{align*}
+\vec{F(\vec{r})} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\frac{qQ}{r^{2}} \hat{r}.
+\end{align*}
+
+Where \( \hat{r} \) is the unit vector pointing in the direction of \( P_{2} \). Note that there are a
+couple of interesting things about this force. First, it is an inverse square law, and the formula looks a lot like the one for gravitation,
+only charge can be negative and mass cannot. Second, it is symmetrical,
+in the sense that the force felt by \( P_{2} \) is going to be the same, only \( \hat{r} \)
+is pointing in the other direction. Also, note that due to linearity, this force calculation follows the /superposition principle/.
+That is, if we have different electrostatic forces acting on one particle:
+
+\begin{align*}
+\vec{F_{tot}} = \vec{F_{1}} + \vec{F_{2}} + … = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \vec{F_{i}}.
+\end{align*}
+
+Wait, where does the \( \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}} \) term come from? Well, the surface area of a sphere
+is \( 4\pi r^{2}\) , which explains both the inverse square law and this \( 4\pi \) term in the denominator,
+but what about \( \epsilon_{0} \), what does it even mean?
+
+Well, it is simply a conversion of units from /speed of light/ terms to /SI unit terms/. If you
+think of it like that, you will never need to know what the units actually are, although I'm
+sure you can find that online. Just know that it is called the permeability of free space, and
+it is defined in terms of the speed of light and a constant relating to magnetism:
+
+\begin{align*}
+\epsilon_{0}\mu_{0} = \frac{1}{c^{2}}
+\end{align*}
+
+but since this is electrostatics and not electrodynamics, you will not have to worry about
+magnetic constants. Again, it is just a shift from speed of light units to our mortal units.
+
+** Electric Field
+Okay, now we can continue to defining the /electric field/ of a particle. Let's call \( P_{1} \) our
+/test charge/, and \( P_{2} \) our /source charge/. If we now want to measure the force on \( P_{1} \),
+our equation is going to be the same. However, we can define a field \( \vec{E(\vec{r})} \) such that:
+
+\begin{align*}
+\vec{F} = Q\vec{E}
+\end{align*}
+
+Where:
+
+\begin{align*}
+\vec{E} = \frac{\vec{F}}{Q}
+\end{align*}
+
+Therefore, the value of \( \vec{E} \) for a point charge must be:
+
+\begin{align*}
+\vec{E} := \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\frac{q}{r^{2}}\hat{r}.
+\end{align*}
+
+The result is we find a way to express force in a /test charge independent way/. This is useful
+because we often want to find the force if an arbitrary object with an arbitrary charge is next
+to the particle in question, instead of focusing specifically on two charges.
+
+Note that it is trivial to prove that \( \vec{E} \) also follows the superposition principle.
+
+
+** Continuous Charge Distributions
+Now that we have a working definition of \( \vec{E} \), we can now find the electric field of an object
+that has a continuous charge distribution. Note that there aren't actually infinite charges in real
+world objects which is what we are assuming by taking an integral over some space of charge, but
+it's close enough because there are so many individual charges in real world objects. Assuming we are in
+three dimensions:
+
+\begin{align*}
