I was wracking my brain every time I saw this thread cause I knew there was a cool nger in that area but I couldn't remember his name.

You should try to get in touch with @Cootie some peeps might have him in Facebook

yeah I woke up in the middle of the night because I remembered some internet shit idgaf

Idk where you picked that up, bro. Straight from the horse's mouth.

NYT: What is your I.Q.?
Hawking: I have no idea. People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.

I'm not saying he isn't a genius or that any of his theories are wrong, I just personally don't put stock in theories very often.

I get where you're coming from. But I do want to remind you of a few things.

Hawking is published in both scientific literature and popular culture. His work is built on widely accepted theories such as Nuclear Physics, Electromagnetism, Gravitation, General and Special Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, etc. He is and has been subject to the scrutiny and skepticism of both academia and broader science since the 60s. It's how peer review works.

There are many scientists like him. He's not the smartest man in the world, nor does he claim to be. What he has done is complete a lifetime of work in formulating theories which are able to be tested, verified, falsified, what have you. He has actively participated in reading and interpreting other peoples theories as a part of the same scrutiny and skepticism.

The guy's long employment at one of the world's oldest most prestigious universities juxtaposed to his confinement to a wheelchair with ALS has made him a media darling. He's a public figure who, despite his work as a theoretical physicist being his focus, is forced to speak on behalf of a large group of people. That means he's credited for other people's theories, he's used to increase visibility of other theories, and he is recruited to comment on science outside his field of expertise in order to bring important concepts, like the inherent dangers of AI or Climate Change, into people's living rooms.

What @HeavenDuff wrote is right, but I think it's also important not to confuse his public statements about various subjects with his actual scientific theories about the mundane subject of extreme cosmological physics.

I'm actually reading through all of Hawking's books this year but I'm also familiar with and somewhat studied on his theories.

The thing that bothers me about Stephen Hawking is he is a "theoretical physicist", and most of what he says is just his own theories. I know he has had a lot of education, and has plenty of credentials, but I have to take everything he says with a grain of salt.

An Oxford educated man whose theories are literally constructed from sixty years of keeping up with the best of our knowledge and experimentation. I'm not even sure what he would say that you distrust, he doesn't exactly go around making fantastical claims.

Fun fact: Quentin Tarantino has the same I.Q. as Stephen Hawking.

That's funny. Stephen Hawking is pretty outspoken about (A) not having his IQ tested and (B) showing disdain for people who brag about their IQ.

Where did you hear that?

Are you open to taking drugs sometime when you're older? There's a South American herb called Salvia Divinorum which sometimes sends smokers into a 15-20 minute nightmarish hallucination. Usually the trips are just fits of uncontrollable laughter, but people also experience dread, confusion, and inner fears.

I don't go around telling people to try drugs, I'm pretty anti drug personally, but if that's something you're looking to experience you might toss it onto your bucket list.

What makes it implausible? What is time? What distinguishes the present from the future? Why does the arrow of time only travel in one observed direction?

My darker dreams (nightmares?) in the past few years have mostly been about defending my friends, family, and loved ones from vicious attackers. I think the most nightmarish event from one of these has been fear that my left canine tooth would be wrenched out of its socket as I bit the arm and wrestled my way out of the grip of a mercenary who was trying to subdue me.

It took me a while but I've decided to interpret him as being unaware that I linked to your specific post, thinking I had written the wrong username and not making some subtle remark or taking offense that I am taking a discussion which originated in Wegra's chaotic mind and building upon it.

Time travel is fascinating as it is ridiculous. Going forward seems slightly less implausible to me simply because going backward would, logically anyway, create paradoxes and changes that someone would notice, right?. But what if those differences just happen and we aren't capable of noticing, our brains just accepting the new reality as the default reality? At the risk of sounding like a stoner who's stoned, i don't know man I just don't know.

I agree. Though it's counterintuitive and actually thinking about it instead of repeating other people's ideas forces us to think outside the box.

As @Gobblemeister mentioned, people have presented physical solutions to the paradox problems of time travel. One interpretation of quantum mechanics involves the existence of an infinitely expansive branching network of nearly identical universes (usually reduced to one dimensional rays) in which every possible permutation of choice in quantum energy or information states spawns a new universe which is either stable or begins to collapse backward in time.

Magically allowing time travel in this scenario would mean that the time traveler could interfere with and experience a disrupted timeline by traveling into a different branch.

There are others less rooted in useful theory though. Couldn't the world constantly experience very small and imperceptible distortions in the flow of time allowing for events which happen after other events which they influence, eliminating the events entirely?

Interesting opinion. Do you think that a graph representation of the development of technology to go beyond common assumptions about physical laws would show a clear and continuing trend of people gaining control over the physical laws in time? Or do you think that there is an eventual limit? Or did we find the limit in the 20th century?

Do you know why it is considered impossible to travel faster than the speed of light?

Inspired by this @GodInACup post.

Time travel is a common trope in quasi-science, philosophical small talk, and film. It's both discussed as a serious physical possibility by academics and dismissed as a laughably illogical impossibility in the same sentence.

To the best of your knowledge, do you think that time travel is possible? What do you think is the most similar phenomenon to actual time travel?

After falling on hard times, you find a job sucking dicks for a nickel. After finishing your twentieth dick in three hours, you sneeze out a bit of jizz and count your earnings. It's not enough for food, but you're stuffed already. Might be enough for a can of soda.

Or maybe they're racist?
