Alright, I'll allow it. JK. It sounds fun. I just designed a metaphysics of time class I am calling Time Travel for Beginners. Newton and Einstein are definitely part of it.

You just made me think of something: Doesn’t the existence of multiple centers of rotation rule out the possibility that rotation is purely relative? My drill can’t spin the whole room in one direction if your drill is spinning it in the other direction.

Oof. It could definitely have been helped. What class?

I was the last person in line at a *very* long Douglas Adams’ signing. He did NOT want to talk.

This looks awesome! Looking forward to the events mentioned in the press release.

@davidchalmers.bsky.social what say you?

What's true of (our current technology of) simulations *in* this universe need not be true of simulations *of* our universe. At least I see no reason it must be so. Someone w/ more math will need to assess the "no algorithm for QG" claim, but since there's no QG theory yet this seems to jump the gun

Sounds sus to me, at least based on the summary here: www.sciencealert.com/physicists-j...

I dated a poet for a while. When we broke up, she published a whole book of poems about it. Do not recommend (as an experience; pretty good poetry TBH).
