What does it feel like to spend months and months of your life on a paper only for it to get 0 fucking citations?

I often thought about this when I'd find a paper that had 0 citations when I was writing my theses

Mudfossils Roger Spur

No.14218586 ViewReplyOriginalReport
>"But for Roger Spurr, Earth is formed of carcasses of dead creatures to its very core. Its every stone is a body part. The most remarkable of these abundant "mudfossils", he says, are those of giants who fell to earth from heavenly battles. Some of these carcasses, of massive humanoids and dragons, stretch for hundreds of miles. In his professional life, Roger serviced nuclear missiles in the Army, worked at GE and then as a field engineer for a global electronics firm. He came upon his innovative thesis in retirement when he noticed anatomical "fascia" on the coverings of stones that resembled bodily organs. His radically unconventional interpretation of stones as body parts and organs of giants has been backed up, he says, by several catscans and DNA analyses. Roger has a background in chemistry, and explains his views on the complex transformations from organic flesh to hardened stone with reference to well-known chemical processes. Extraordinary photographs are presented throughout this interview. Body parts and whole creatures are exhibited. Especially abundant in his examples, Roger says, are the remains of arteries and veins, and many instances show the transformed traces of blood in iron-rich areas of the Earth's "geology""

Is this guy wacky? I remember hearing in one of his vids that he was a former Oxford professor who was disowned by the Institute for mentioning his findings. What level of understand is he?

If probability isn't something real and only depends on information humans already have how can it be central to our understanding of the universe? (quantum mechanics)

Apparently, using magnets to intentionally disable normal brain functions can make someone into an atheist. Well, I am already an atheist (always been one) and I've grown tired of this mental disability. Scientifically speaking, is the reverse of picrel possible? Can I somehow cure my own atheism and experience divine inspiration? I've already tried psychedelics but it didn't do the trick.

If prime numbers become less frequent as their value increases, AND there are infinite prime numbers, wouldn't they become infinitely infrequent at one point? Because they never stop losing frequency... EVER

Why are egalitarians so batshit scared of inherent racial differences being proven through science? What would fundamentally change for them?
