Lol utopian. I've been watching too much Issac Arthur lately.
- Interesting concepts on Isaac Arthur's channel, I'm also subscribed.utopian
- This was interesting
https://www.youtube.…utopian - Ohhhh yeah I saw that one. Silicon based life seems to be the ticket.cherub

lol nothing in the Math says time is linear...
- so you don't actually go "back" in time, just a different timeline of "now" in a waygrafician
- also there is no concept of "you" you're just matter, you're moving matter if you refer to your actual bodygrafician
- "time" as we refer to it usually is tied to the 2nd law of thermodynamicsgrafician
- I don't understand the math. Help me out. If time isn't linear, what is it? Doesn't that break cause and effect? I drop the ball, ball falls to the ground.cherub
- well the physics work the same if the universe goes forward or backwardgrafician
- @cherub what are u describing is the 2nd law, entropy increasedgrafician
- we might never solve time travel as we are part of the space-time, thus we are in the systemgrafician
- Entropy is confusing. One the one hand they're talking about an object's energy being "spent", and the other is talking about all the possible configurations ofcherub
- a system.cherub
- then let me give you a real mind bender: you have undo in Procreate with you draw, but not irl with pen in paper - same Universe, different rules?grafician
- also irl you can play ping pong and the ball comes back, but you can't put back a bulletgrafician
- in a gun after it fired...grafician
- Same with us, you grow old, but Benjamin Button grows younger defeating entropy? lolgrafician

- It seems like the undo button should exist IRL too, now that you put it like that.cherub
- If undo button did exist we would fight about whether to undo only locally, or system wide(undo the whole universe by 5 minutes). Think of the most unpleasantcherub
- thing you've ever experienced. Would you want to re-live that again?cherub

I'm actually looking forward to see TENET, to see how Nolan explains - if - time travel, causality, etc.
