So you are saying that there is a chance of hot green alien chicks? :datass:


I now just need to know which is better, hot green skinned aliens or mutants with 3 knockers like the lady in Total Recall?

Because nature wouldn't be that nice to us. It would be like asking for a kitten/puppy hybrid.

Interesting. I was reading an article on the idea of teraforming deserts into forest in order to combat climate change. The main barrier was the cost of pumping and desalinating countless tonnes of sea water. Ultra energy cheap desalination makes the idea much more feasible.

I just saw something about time travel and pool balls, but being the 'avid I can't be arsed to read all this text' kind of guy I dunno what it's about. Something about breaking thermodynamics laws or Quantum Physics or some such.

It was probably referring to "closed timelike curves" and the resultant "Novikov self-consistency principle".

One way to investigate whether time travel is possible is by describing the time travel scenario mathematically, then seeing whether that maths is a valid solution to Einstein's equations.

Situations which solve Einstein's equations look like this: 1. you throw a ball at a wormhole which links to a few seconds in the past; 2. as the ball is in the air, the ball from the future comes out of the wormhole and just misses the ball you threw; 3. your ball enters the wormhole.

Those situations are called "self-consistent".

Situations which do not solve Einstein's equations look like this: 1. you throw a ball at the wormhole; 2. the ball comes from the future and knocks the ball away; 3. no ball enters the wormhole.

That would be a paradox, because now there's no ball going into the wormhole to come out and knock the ball you threw away.

tl;dr Einstein's equations imply you can't change the past even if you have access to a time-travel wormhole.

If time travel was possible, we'd already have been visited by future GRcadians.

Fake news. Biff is a low intelligence copy of the stable genius Trump. Lots of people are saying he is a genius. Shitheap Tannen had to steal a time machine (Hillary stole the keys – lock her up) to make money, stable genius Trump made billions himself with his business brain.
