Time travel’s a tough nelly. And largely because Time only goes in one direction. And maybe that’s enough to prove that traveling backwards in it is not possible. Well, this paradox from minutephysics is something that could make the whole thing at least a bitch to do, makes the whole idea a non-starter, and ultimately maybe impossible:
There was a blackout where I live last night. Which was excellent for 2 reasons –one, because a blackout limits your options of what you can do (and I’m pretty sure there’s a strong correlation between having fewer options and contentment), and two, the time display on my microwave and oven were reset and now my oven displays this every…
When you dream at night, does it sometimes feel real? So real that you feel anxiety, worry, fear, jealousy, love, happiness and even pain in it? And if time is relative, and minutes, days, years etc. are just arbitrary markers to signify the earth’s rotation on an axis, and a week can sometimes feel like a year, a year like…
What’s the most important thing or person/people/animal in your life? At some point they came into your life, right? But before that, you were fine living without them, so it’s realistic that you can be fine without them (And you will be without them at some point). If you have a baby, meets someone you love, buy a house or phone, move to…
This is Chunky. And Chunky could give a fuck about the past or the future. All that he gives a shit about is RIGHT NOW. Though his past behaviours, training and experiences have shaped how he behaves, all that shit doesn’t matter now. What matters is how what he’s become is able to be present right now. And isn’t that…
I love death. But not because it’s cool and I want to do it, but because acknowledging the fact it’s 100000000% going to happen to all of us, teaches us how to truly live. Yesterday I talked about the verb ‘to last’ with the class (as in ‘oh man, I hope my grandma’s breakdancing career lasts for ages’). And when you actually think about…
Any problems you have, any stress or worries are really nothing in the context of the universe. In 100 years, what you’re worried about now won’t matter at all. And there’s a good chance that it won’t matter in a year, a month or even 5 minutes. The only thing that matters is living life the best way you know…
There’s a sky full of lights and none of them stars But each white, silvery flicker’s a faithful reminder to us, Of a weight that’s in youth that makes a dick of us all, If it happened today, then it’s probably happened before. – From Gang of Youths–The Deepest Sighs, The Frankest Shadows Everything is temporary, and you and I…
Time goes in one way. Never in history has it gone backwards (except this one time, at 1:10). Yet, from the second you are born, the only thing that is guaranteed, the one thing, is that you’re going to die. And you may have heard this before (at 0:13): ‘AAAAAHHHHH. I don’t wanna die!’ or: ‘AAAAAHHHH I’m going to die!’…
Of Fame. Take a look at the minds of her suitors, their ambitions and their aversions. Furthermore, reflect how speedily in this life the things of today are buried under those of tomorrow , even as one layer of drifting sand is covered by the next. – Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 7:34 Why the hell was this statue of Marcus Aurelius a)…
