Almost everybody here tonight called in sick. There's only like 3 of us soooo im listening to some older Steve Earle. Hmm young Steve Earle.
I'd stitches in my neck 2006 .. after they removed flesh eating bacteria, cut a big hole in my neck.. stitches surfaced today. Feels like the fly..
Thanks, Rue. It's not ideal but in the end we decided to do it. My whole life just got turnt upside down in the course of a few days. life is crazy sometimes
Posting h o railroad trains.. What would be the easiest way to make homemade grass? Me: grow some in your closet..
What I've wondered is if the Uncertainty Principle extends from the present into the past. When a particle travels from point A to point B it takes every possible path simultaneously, even paths that are unlikely. The probabilities of the particle taking specific paths ads up to 100%. So what I'm wondering is if you try to trace a particle (or anything for that matter) from its current location to a previous location do you have to take this into account. If so then it seems to me that the past is just as uncertain as the future. In other words there is no "The Past"; instead there is the sum of all possible pasts.
I for some reason was included in a group message wanting to know how I was coping with "the boredom." The dude who included me has been on HF 2½ weeks and has 9 posts total, including a thread he started wanting to know if he was the only one who uses a voltage transformer on his nuts. I wonder how I got on his radar.
I think The Past would be delimited by any successive collapse of the wavefunction in the Copenhagen Interpretation or any branch/split in the Multiverse Interpretation. Assuming a Multiverse, we don't have access to those other branches, so while in a way there is some merit to your last sentence, I don't think it's really intelligible or perhaps practical for us to think in those terms. Presumably all branches would reconvene if we wound back time before they split but I think we would still only be getting the information from our shared timeline.
Thanks! Sorry just finished binging the entire marvel universe and the explanation of time travel from Endgame is still giving me headaches. i mean, why did they have to change the very simple rules Back to the Future already established for us? That movie is like the bible of time travel
As for time travel stories, read The Man Who Folded Himself by David Gerrold. I think it has been called the ultimate time travel story in fact. Read it as a kid and it left me feeling weird for a few days.
I'm glad you didn't quote me specifically, I didn't want to feel the sole burden of letting you down. Meliai's pitch on Voltaire persuaded me to buy a book today, I'm out on book buying for a few months.
