Does this conflict with our understanding of the fundamental particles of matter? What would happen to these fundamental particles when they (lacking volume) cease to be matter and become energy?
I don't think anyone has any clue what the inside of a black hole looks like. My guess is that it is weird and strange.
However, matter being point-sized is not something uncommon. As far as we (or at least I) know, electrons are point-sized. (Meaning no experiment has found anything but "the electron is smaller than what we could measure"). I don't know about the size of quarks.
Also, matter turning to energy is a pretty common thing, too. It is what nuclear energy (both fission and fusion) is based on.

You can't just put foam panels on the facade of your house. So it's all about closing the gaps. Uninsolated shutter cases could be a problem. For noise as well as heat. Double or triple layered window/ door? noise from inside the home into my room
That changes stuff. Do you know what the wall is made of?
In general, the heavier the wall/ door, the better the sound insolation.
This should help with the door: www.amazon.de
If the door itself is a lightweight, maybe a new door altogether. Door and doorframe are not that expensive if you do it yourself. Heavy wood or something along those line

I mean, yes, that QM stuff is there in addition to the size. Probability cloud is one way to interpret QM. The basic conclusion of QM is that small stuff is weird and doesn't really behave in a way that fits what we expect from our large-word experiences. We have found mathematical ways to describe this that seems to work very well, but interpreting these mathematical results into a model of reality is often problematic and comes with a lot of problems.
The probability cloud interpretation also has some problems. For example, if you measure the position of the object, that probability cloud immediately contracts to a very small space (the resolution of your detector) Since this would potentially involve the acceleration of parts of the probability cloud, one would expect EM emissions here. Which don't happen.
But you can still make statements about the size of objects, and in case of the electron, the statement we can currently make is that it is consistently smaller than the bottom bound of our attempts to measure its size.

How do you guys get a song out of your head?
Last week a friend sent me this song parady + Show Spoiler + and now I can't stop thinking about the original song. Help!

Listen to it on repeat until you get bored of it.
This might work, or it might make it 1000 times worse.
The choice is yours.

Having total ecylpse play in your head is awesome, embrace it :D

Listen to another song that's a bit catchy. I used this f.e. + Show Spoiler +, but naturally choose whatever you like.
That was a neat and well performed parody though.

Normally this happens when your brain is trying to complete something. If you hear the song a bunch of times it should go away
Full explanation: Earworm

Maybe not a stupid question, but i thought that some of you might be able to help me.
I am looking for shoes. Specifically, shoes that fulfill the following requirements:
-Last a very long time
-Vegan
I have no clue how to go about this. My ideal setup would be two sets of shoes, one for the summer and one for the winter. I would wear them every day, and i would want them to last at least 10 years. I do not know if this is even possible. Most shoes seem to be designed to last a reasonable amount of time only when occasionally worn. Which is totally reasonable for the use case of people like my wife, who owns a lot of different shoes and alternates which she wears based on a completely incomprehensible algorithm.
So far, i have usually bought cheaper shoes, which lasted a year or so. I am willing to spend a bit more if i am really certain that that would be a lasting investment, but i would be majorly pissed of spending a lot of money only to have the shoes also fall apart after 1-2 years. And i simply don't know how to figure out which shoes will last. I tried this for winter shoes two years ago, explicitly stating my desires in a shoe shop two winters ago. Yet here i am once again, two years later, and the soles of the shoes that were sold to me as lasting has turned into some kind of weird mesh that hurts my feet.
I know that the desire to get vegan shoes doesn't help here, as high-quality shoes are usually leather. Does anyone have some advice?

I don't think any shoe will last you 5 worn-years. There's just too much wear and tear. The sole would definitely need replacement after a certain time. Then there's the laces, and the interior which also undergoes a lot of friction every time you get in and out.
Maybe for the summer, sandals might be the most wear and tear friendly thing?
