My daughter wrote this in school, and I thought it was sort of sublime. Like she sorta gets it. I dunno.
>>
She realized that having a time machine would make her a god. But with the complete control over her reality, all questions answered before they are even asked, there is no joy in the existence. So in her manifesto she rejected the godhood and chose to remain in the shackles of our reality.

I think most people could consider the implications of traveling back in time any amount and it's worrying to think of 'confusing' being why it's bad

Your son is retarded. He'd starve to death. The air had significantly less oxygen back then, so you'd be out of breath just trying to walk around, let alone hunt, and all the plants were poisonous. No fruit yet. No veggies yet. Just a bunch of undigestible ferns.

>what is you didn't eat breakfast today

Read it again genius.

What would it be like if you didn't eat breakfast today?
Retard answer: "What do you mean? I didn't eat breakfast today."
Normal answer: "I'd be hungry."

What would happen if I time traveled?
Retard answer: "What do you mean? I can't time travel."
Normal answer: "If I time traveled, I would not know what to expect."

Hypothetical answered. It's just that the answer was understanding there'd be confusion around what happened. You mistook that for an inability to handle hypotheticals. Possibly because you're... not that bright.

Let's go one further and say fuck causality, why? Because what did it ever do for us? Make us possible? Who asked it why it gets to decide to make us exist just because we're a causually coherent branch of reality.

this isn't /sci/ and I reckon shows pretty clearly how bdaly botted this board is.

So badly botted you see posts complaining about bots and know 90% of them are written by bots as well.

Ha, computers are such shit at maths.

They did a test with them asking for a math proof but added a single bit of irrelevent information and the results came back like 70% fucked, showing it never actually was "solving" anything and was merely predicting tokens.

The one that fascinates me is they trained a model on something scientific but also a bunch of info about dogs....and when it discussed maths with other AIs.....They Also Began Focusing On Dogs Without Speaking About It!

>>
>>16991283

To be honest, I blame the humans who designed them. Floating point fractions being considered "good enough" even though they clearly deviate from established reality is where it started to go wrong. Use strings internally, make it 100x slower, I don't care, just get the math right. Reeeeeeeee

>>16991224
Time travel is more than a hypothetical, it is a metaphysical impossibility, a logical absurdity.

Rejecting the premise as retarded is the only logical conclusion. Tell me what a four sided triangle would be like anon.

It literally happens constantly. What are you talking about? Time moves forward, and time dilation causes things to age differently. Those are two examples of time travel. How is it impossible?

The past is that which once existed but no longer does. The future is that which can potentially exist, but does not yet. Attempting to travel through time is attempting to go somewhere that does not exist and is metaphysically impossible.

Moving forward in time is not time travel. Time travel implies moving from one time to another by skipping what happens in between.

Why does the "original" use a different color text and a different font than the river? Why is the type not centered on the characters and instead offset? Why is there a white box blocking out where the black text would have been?

You're sneaking the past-tense into your definition of the past.

>The future is that which can potentially exist, but does not yet. Attempting to travel through time is attempting to go somewhere that does not exist and is metaphysically impossible.

You just wrote that the future doesn't exist, and now you're stating that it's impossible to "go" somewhere that doesn't exist.

Going back in time would require matter to just reverse its state (energy, position, velocity, etc.). Of course, you would need even more energy to do this than exists in that matter.
>>
>>16991552
>no longer does
Buy a dictionary. "Does" is a present tense verb.
>>
>>16991552
>Going back in time would require matter to just reverse its state (energy, position, velocity, etc.).
NTA but the past is under-determined given the present and in any case cannot possibly involve anyone "going" to it by such means because every observer would be reverted as well so there is no possible perspective inside the universe from which time would be actually moving backwards.
>>
OK, let's explain why you can't meaningfully go into the past: You're part of an existing casual chain. You can't change your past, any more than you can lift yourself by your bootstraps. It's physically impossible because if you had a different causal history you would be a different person in a different timeline.
>>
>>16991676
But I saw it in da mooooovies!!!
>>
>>16991676
Time travel doesn't care about your casual logic

Time flows in one direction, it's not inconceivable that this flow could be reversed. Maybe it's impossible, maybe it's not, but again, this is not contingent on you thinking it would just be too weird.
>>
>>16991637
As in "no-longer." Why are you trying to evade?

Traveling backwards, they couldn't be part of space/time only time. So space would have to be removed from the body. You could do within you mind with quantum jump or electromagnetism through the veins..

Longer is an adverb and has no tense. You have failed yet again.

I was at work with a small window. I'll use the AI punctuation next time. damn it..

One recent story was I was exploring stars as "liquid metal" with Lattice Structure Theory with Pierre-Marie Robitaille.
I had a large quantum jump in the 1800's in France through an esteemed man's life. Got to see all the sights!
Pierre-Marie Robitaille has a strong family of scientists. The mind with a strong time connection through family lineage plays a role in people.
