  • Conflict of interest is the best explanation. The goal of search engine companies is not to provide information as efficiently as possible but rather something else entirely.

    A lack of competition is another factor as well with the monopolization of Google, Microsoft, etc. There may exist better search engines, but the average joe, and even some of us, have trouble finding them. The quality search engines don’t get a chance to expand and or are bought out like with Altavista (Regarded as the best search engines from the golden age). For example, crowdview.ai is the best search engine (outside of kagi from what I’ve heard) but I’m unsure if they will be able to stay afloat for a long enough time to get a chance to expand and take shots at Google.









  • More technically, the barn’s immense mass cause positive Anti-de Sitter spacetime curvature locally. All light rays emitted from the barn are stretched as a result as they follow their world lines. In fact, barns further away are said to be expanding faster and faster. Some even speculate the expansion of the universe is increasing exponentially as a result of these barns. This is known as the Theory of Quantum Barn Gravity.
