The biggest problem with the idea that the universe is dragged through time by entropy increasing is that you can't avoid the CMB being the thermal signature of ice with an effective surface area 10 billion times greater than the stars.
So, obscuring 0.2% of the sky.
But, just might explain dipole!

So, back looking at alternative interpretations of the laws of physics and especially time.
However. I'm stuck on a path that requires energy conservation of perfect otherwise observer effects vanish, making it incomparable with std cosmology.
Worse symmetries are just lost data, a multiply by 0.

It's always annoying when you write a simulation, and it does exactly what you predicted the first time.

Bit quiet around here. 🙃
Stars are pure hydrogen because star formation is a frictionless gas centrifuge running for hundreds of thousands of years.
With materials denser than hydrogen carrying away angular momentum as they are flung out.
This lets hydrogen spiral in.

I had totally forgotten my pascal to z80 compiler I wrote in TRS80 basic 47 odd years ago, could generate long hand multiplies for constants instead of calling the multiply subrouteen.
I just found the schedule for implementing it in the Mini-office spreadsheet module.

In physics, if your strange theories make predictions that don't match observation or experimental results, you are wrong.
So, when I get rings around neutron stars and black holes that look highly stable even as you dump huge amounts of mass in?
(only when very hot env)
Or does that explain...

I just can't make my favourite explanation for QM observers compatible with spacetime.
So supermassive blackholes have been growing for hundreds of billions years, and the cosmic background is thermal radiation from interstellar ice with a surface area 10^10 greater than stars.
(0.1% sky)
Oh well

Gravity is like a kettle heating.
Unless you model it with full fluid dynamics, you don't expect it to make a noise.

I just spent most of the night hiding a Minecraft redstone contraption inside a nice building fasard only to discover I had constructed it across a chunk boundary.

The universe dragged though time by chains irreversible events (entropy increasing) seems to work OK, if you are willing to have the future resolve into the past with no "now".
Give an interpretation of QM with observers dragging the universe along.
Also nasty explanation for SR & GR with gravity.

Found some old scribbled notes on my Buck Bumble game design.
I wanted the Herd to be cybernetic insects while Buck used organic weapons gathered from plants.
But the team was right, and the pea pod pea shooter going up to the popcorn cluster bomb became guns.
