  • Problem is you can’t shut down your account with the government because that’s your everything. That’s your identity, that’s your retirement, that’s your unemployment. And he’s been given carte blanche to fuck with it in any way he feels like by the giant orange douchebag who thinks Elmo’s a fucking genius. And the Republican Congress is either unwilling or too scared shitless of his billion$ to get in his way.








  • The net result is that I have transmitted a message into my own past.

    Yes this is literally the explanation that comes from every physicist and science explainer I have come across. The problem I have is the how. I do not understand how a message sent real time, as in at the same time on two different planets vast distances away, can go back in time “somehow”. Like, I get that the actual answer is ultimately “the math says so” but I cannot adequately wrap my head around the concept.



  • Every time I read about or listen to someone’s explanation of why faster than light travel is completely impossible it always makes no sense to me.

    I have tried to understand it more times than I can count but every explanation seems to revolve around faster than light travel breaking causality because of information traveling back in time due to relativity. Granted it’s always physicists who are explaining why faster than light is impossible and I’m a complete layman so there may be a translation issue there.
