We witness the younger self and see their pain, fear, feelings, struggles, etc. After witnessing, we offer new information, new ways of viewing the experience.

With re-consolidation, the memory is stored away with this new understanding. Reactive trauma diminishes, new meanings are foundational.

Yeah...it is hard to apply today's scientific knowledge to a theory of "warp drives" that have no basis in science.

But the laws of thermodynamics, as far as we know, apply to all dimensions. Assuming "hyperspace" is a dimension, then the first law applies too.

Cf. "Tau Zero" by Poul Anderson.

I agree with that decision.
The church has never been kind to women.
It makes me angry for how too many of my friends have been treated by churches.
