      ​@@mateusloubach Agreed, evolution is fiction.
      If the creation of anything thru molecule to man evolution were true, nothing should evolve because organisms have ORGANS. and evolution could never get even 1 of them to function right, LET ALONE 4 OR 5!! AND THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM!!
      The sequence of DNA can be identical but produce different results based on the presence or absence of epigenetic markers. So if humans and chimps share a common ancestor and these chemical tags are heritable, they should have similar epigenetic markers, right?
      They should (if evolution were true), but they don’t.
      the bbt (bigbang theory) is a manmade construct. How insane the chances must be for mill's of plants and animals to magically mutate over ludicrous spans of time. We should find missing links. However we dont, we only find Fully Formed animals. If animals could evolve into totally new animals, there should be a chance we find missing links. ONLY THE SIMPLEST LIFE FORMS SHOULD BE ABLE TO EVOLVE INTO EXISTENCE. GENETIC ENTROPY WILL UNDO WHATEVER BENEFITS THE ORGANISM MUTATED, FASTER THAN THE ORGANISM WILL MUTATE BENEFICAL TRAITS. EVEN THEN, THE CHANCES OF ANY ORGANISM MUTATING A BENEFICIAL TRAIT ARE NEXT TO NONE. HOW MUCH MORE CRAZY IS EVOLUTION, WHEN APPLIED TO MILLIONS OF PLANTS N ANIMALS?? FOR THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE.... DEBUNKING BIGBANG: if the bigbang was real the 2nd planet's orbit would be normal and sat turns ring particles should've moved too fast for ANY gravity to pull them towards the planet. And thats not even taking into account the bigbangs hot temprature which shoulda vaporized anything. also there is too little antimatter in universe. if bigbang was real 99.999999999999999999999% of our universe should Not exist because antimatter destroys matter when it make contact with matter. the bang wouldve made much of it touch matter. so we see far less stars n stuff bc the so called bigbang wouldve destroyed nearly all of it. . READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY!! ----> this should prove that Jesus is Real: JESUS CHRIST will Not make you take any mark, and He will punish the tyrannical ANTI Christ. The ANTI Christ will get a terrible wound, but cure himself to reinforce his deception to decieve the non-Christians and the lukewarm Christians. (look up lukewarm Christians on Christian websites and/or the Bible.) the AC will be world famous and very popular. he will make people take a mark on r hand or forhead. there will be a severe punishment for not taking it. The ANTI-Christ is a control freak, the opposite of Jesus Christ. However, this AC will act all nice and cool for 3 years and 6 months, and then he will make a tyrannical dystopia. for another 3 years 6 months. Jesus uses His power for GOOD, NOT EVIL. This is BIBLE PROPHECY. Dont trust the false god, his goal is to get people into the lake of fire. he will go there too, despite all the FALSE MIRACLES HE WILL DO! Repent of your sins to Jesus Christ before its too late, you could die today!

      I mean, I'm sort of happy about this. If 2050 still looks like New York City today.... I wouldn't be happy. I presume that would still be a cold, uncaring, capitalist world.... a world I don't want to inhabit. I want Artificial Supertintelligence to make society so great that an economic system is unnecessary and everyone's life on Earth is truly awesome, perhaps via a personalized, highly awesome simulation for everybody, reverse aging, all diseases cured, everyone is genuinely happy and satisfied with their life... etc. So I breathe a sigh of relief that that is NOT 2050. Although, 2050 might still look like that in New York City and everything I said above might be true? I don't know. Thinking about the technological singularity and the upcoming decades in a realistic manner can be tough. It's hard to predict.

    Being from Kyiv and in my teen years back at the time, I can share that such techno-mystical stories were quite a hit back in the day. In every corner, you could buy some yellow newspaper talking about Soviet UFO secrets, and TV was filled with "Psychic" reality shows and pseudo-documentary UFO-cryptid mystery dramas. One of the most popular shows was literally called "Psychic War" where they would test a bunch of "Psychics" and make them complete quest-like challenges. This story 1:1 fits the mold of such yellow entertainment and I vaguely remember hearing about it.

    A few customers came in and as I served I as a good pub landlord took note of who is in and out. Now after 20 minutes this chap had not come out of the toilet so I went in to find no one in but also a stall was locked and I had to climb over to open it from the next stall. The only window was a barred 2 by 3 foot window.
    He did.t come out of the loo and fuck knows what happened to him.

    The grandfather paradox has never seemed like a big deal to me. By going back to kill your own grandfather, *you* still experience time in a linear path. Even going back in time, *you* are still going forward in time relative to you. You still age, *your* wristwatch still goes forward etc. Your timeline of events is that your grandparents led to your parents leading to you leading to you going back and killing your grandfather. You would have just displaced yourself entirely from the linear timeline everyone *else* experienced. No one else would be able to explain your birth but you could. There's actually an easy explanation for why you exist with no traceable lineage. Existing in a time before your birth to kill your grandfather in the first place should be a paradox but it's not. If you secretly stayed in the past before your birth and didn't kill your grandfather, then eventually witnessed your own birth and now there's two of you, it's not paradoxical because there is a through-line of time for you. In fact, if you went back one week and killed your past self then showed up back in the present to the amazement of those who thought you were dead, you wouldn't cease to exist for the same reasons. You exist as matter, if you just disappeared that would violate more laws of physics than the time thing. That's my take anyway, but what do I know? Lol

      @@morpher44, I think it's more of a case that Albert didn't live long enough to have access to all the info he needed to complete his work during his lifetime. Physics is still evolving, and will do for centuries. Writers have to make do with what we can understand of all the sciences we use as story plot points. One of the limits we are up against is that we can't let facts get in the way of a Good Story. Some writers actually are scientists, and the science in their stories are more accurate--*if the story benefits from greater scientific accuracy.* While loads of us do care about scientific accuracy, what *all* of us care about is writing good stories that readers enjoy--AND, are willing to pay us a bit of their hard-earned cash for the chance to read our work. In the final analysis, writing is as much of a job as it is a calling.
      My time travel stories *can* involve lots of research into actual history. Or Physics, for that matter. But only when dropping that in makes the story better. You've got to remember, no matter how many lab coats and particle accelerators appear in the story, time travel is, in it's deepest essence, a Fantasy genre. It can have as many science-fiction elements as a writer chooses to include, but at its heart, it is always going to be a retelling of "Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court," or "Rip Van Winkle." At least, those are the two main tropes I can think of at the moment.

    The bit from Germain Tobar about being unable to create a paradox reminds me of Douglas Adams’ word on the subject in “The Restaurant at the End of the Universe”
    “One of the major problem encountered in time travel is not that of becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can’t cope with. There is no problem with changing the course of history - the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end.
    The major problem is simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner’s Time Traveler’s Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations.”

    The idea of a self-correcting timeline was one of the sub-plots of that Stephen King story about the Kennedy assassination, and as a story device it was really well done. It's also, sorta, part of the underlying lore for Nolan's _Tenet_: the reason inverted phenomena didn't work the same way (like a fire burning in reverse) was that they were always pushing against the normal flow of time in the environment around them. Like they were constantly paddling upstream.
    I kinda like the idea of time having its own momentum that resists you trying to bend it too far. Another way of looking at it is that you can't change the past because whatever changes you make were already made in your own past, and that past arrived at your present as it is.

      The "What if...?" question has driven both SF _and_ science and continues to this day! Indeed! SF itself has heralded scientific advancement! And we hold in our hands smart phones that surpass Star Trek communicators and tricorders to some extent.
      Buck Rogers (in the 1930's) predicted laser weapons, a concept SF still uses, and which scientists harness.
      IIRC, there were SF depictions of using energy beams to find buried ancient cities. Today we have laser apparati that can do this and have done it.
      LIGO has measured gravitational waves from colliding black holes.
      I think Superman might have seen underground lost villages with his X-ray vision.
      Consider this: one big thing from the iconic book _Stranger in a Strange Land_ was that water is a sacrament. Nowadays around the world everybody is realizing how sacred water is to life on Earth and how precious it is.
      Robert Heinlein wrote this concept into this famous book. But anyone with this concept could have written it. Many people feel this way from all walks of life. Over time, more and more people came to think this way.
      So not only scientific concepts and those of fantastic technology manifest, but also societal concepts, many that were laughed at but came to be adopted.

      Anakin I'm not sure if anybody's actually done this, but imagine you took a stick and tied a carrot to it. Then you get on the back of your horse, or get in the seat of a wagon, and you use the stick to dangle the carrot in front of the animal. The horse, or donkey or whatever, wants the carrot so they walk forward, and you've tricked them into moving you.
      So carrot on a stick means something you want which motivates you.
      The other part of this is if the animal quits moving you hit them with the stick. So you have positive motivation from the carrot and negative motivation from the stick.
      Please note that I've never hit an animal with a stick.

      the exploitation of that carrot on a stick, "what if" factor is something like the "Barnum effect", which just means that people want to be fooled and entertained based on an incredibly vague claim with a very limited amount of information, often because it's what the person wants to hear.
      i believe this is a side effect of being "intelligent", because every other animal on Earth appears to never delude themselves of their senses unless one of them is taken away. humans seem to have the ability to believe our powerful imagination, such that people could believe that a magician makes a ball vanish into thin air because the magician suggested to you that's what they were going to do.
      i'm pretty sure that every other animal besides us do not actually believe that a ball can vanish into thin air, even when they are confused about where the ball went when you did a magic trick, because they don't have the capability to make such conclusive assumptions that it somehow disappeared into nothingness, especially when it is (always) concealed before the vanish, as to have not actually witnessed the vanishing of physical matter.
      actually, if you give that animal time, it may try to search every part of your body which could contain the ball which appeared to have vanished, which would actually be an incredibly logical reaction to their observations, and of course you would indeed have the ball somewhere on you, as matter cannot vanish. humans seem to have been conditioned for magic, such that we don't really care to inquire much with our sensory abilities beyond an immediate presentation of what something *appears* to be

    one time when I was working at a liquour store, a strangely-dressed dude walked up to my register. he was eating cashews out of a jar. he was kind of weird-looking, but well-kempt and clearly lucid and sober. he just looked out of place, mostly because of the incredibly confused expression on his face. he just looked really lost and a little dazed, but again, clearly sober and lucid.
    he asked me, "can i just get some lemon-lime marlboros?"
    after taking a couple seconds to recoil from my shock, i just told him, "we don’t have those. I don't actually think those exist."
    still looking really confused, he paused for a minute, then just said "okay" and walked out of the store.
    It was probably the weirdest thing to ever happen to me. the only way I can think to explain that interaction is that i met an interdimensional traveler.

      There is much evidence that time may be an illusion, but that does not necessarily mean that time travel is not possible.
      Let me give you an example…
      If I told you that the 20th century, the 21st century and the 22nd century
      (past, present and future)
      all exist simultaneously with respect
      to what is happening in the moment,
      That is, that it is not possible to travel backwards or forwards in time in the same timeline (alternatively reality) and change history or the unforeseen.
      But what is possible, is to choose!
      Let's say we have two timelines (alternatively realities) on either side of our own, and that one is shifted forwards in time, while the other is shifted backwards in time,
      that is, in one the past is happening and the other the future.
      By choosing either the future or the past when we are faced with a choice in life, we can actually move in time!
      But only in an alternative reality!
      Such a manifestation also requires strong concentration!

    Regarding the Godfather paradox - I have two different takes on it.
    1) By going back in time and changing events in the past, you would simply create a new, alternative timeline that runs parallel to the original one.
    2) Similar to the billboard thing - you going back in time is already considered in the timeline. The fact you went back and did things is already part of the past, therefore there are no "changes".
    Both options would also explain why our past wasn't changed by people from the future to rectify catastrophic events like WWII or climate crisis. Either they did and created new timelines as a result (which we wouldn't know) or they tried but their actions had no effect because they were already included in the calculation.

Then you develop one of them, realize your grandpa used to look EXACTLY like you, and then concoct the plan. You'd have to kinda assume that the [edit: undeveloped] film roll would have at least one picture of your grandpa, though. Pretty reasonable bet, all things considered.
      The other thing i'm not sure about is whether would you be able to see the pictures if you had a darkroom and all the equipment? Idk enough about photography to know if there's a way to do that.
      Regardless of all that, I don't think a roll of film is stable enough to last half a century undeveloped and still maintain any sense of image clarity. Maybe I'm wrong (because again idk anything about oldschool photography), but I can't imagine it wouldn't degrade a ton, ya know?

    Indian here. Not sure where you're getting your Mahabharata information but time travel is, at best, incidental to the story. As an epic poem there are many side stories that do not affect the core narrative (which is simplistically a story about two warring sets of cousins). There do seem to be some stories that, at best, display some concept of relativism and the idea of different planes of existing having different rates of time. But there's definitely no time TRAVEL, at least no instances so integral to the plot that the Mahabharata could be described as a story ABOUT time travel.

      Physicist here. While I highly doubt we'd ever get the technology for it in the sense that SciFi movies portray, one condition of time travel thats eems to come from general relativity may be that you can only travel 'back' in time to the point of a closed curve, such that once the time machine is made you would suddenly be able to see time travellers if it worked, but before the point of time machine invention it would be impossible to see any time travellers.

    There are three different models I've read about.
    1. Changing the past will change the events of the future cause things to not exist or disappear from existing
    2. You can't change the path. Everything is meant to happen, and even if you try something, it will not let you or will cause the event to happen. If you are going back to change, it was always a part of the plan
    3. When time travel was first used, it created alternate timelines. Everytime you time travel, you create different timelines that change based on the changes made.

It was about a man who built a time machine and travelled back to medieval times where he tried to bring the people electricity, but obviously it went very poorly and he never made it back to his time. Meanwhile his friend wondered where he had gone and investigated his disappearance in modern times where he ultimately found old papers in the town hall written by his friend hundred of years ago and hidden in the walls, before his death.

  • @Tysard
    @Tysard 8 месяцев назад +1

    The act of going back in time creates a timeline in which you arrived from the future so anything you do would not affect where you came from.
    Like if you go back in time and kill your grandfather, it would have no effect on you because the act of going back in time in and of itself changes the past. So it's not really your grandfather that you're killing, it's the grandfather of someone that doesn't exist. The future would then progress randomly as it does because everything after the point you arrived hasn't happened yet. Another example would be if you went back in time by a year, went to where you were a year ago then cut off your past self's hand. Your hand wouldn't just disappear because that's not you, it's a version of you living in a time where someone came from the future to cut off their hand.
    If you take something from room A and put it in room B, you can't affect that object from room A because it's not there anymore. If you stay in the now empty room A then go back to the point in time when it was in room A and destroy it, it's not the same object because you never destroyed it in room A, you came from a room in which the object was moved to room B.

The plot line of this epic was about ancient Indian politics, sociology and war strategy and more over it a kind of motivate us with a tag line something like "Do your duty no matter even if you have to stand against your family. Stand for the principles and values , not for family. And God will be with you." But I do understand why this mistake was done. Indian ancient Puranas (text or scripts) are kind of series or spin-off stories attached to each other. For more than thousand years ancient Rishis (monks) wrote them. So some of the characters cross-merged with each other with the time and the believe in that time. So there was a character in Mahabharata named Krishna, who is also believed an Avatar of Hindu God Vishnu, his elder brother was Balarama. Now Balarama's wife Revati is said to be a time traveler. But there is no direct reference of Revati in Mahabharata. If I am not much wrong, even in mahabharata it was not even told that Balarama had a wife! This reference comes from some other ancient Sanskrit text. Good day buddy.

      I largely agree with your comment on this matter. However, there exists a distinct interpretation of the Mahabharata that discusses the intricacies of determinism and Karma (and their paradox). This interpretation, while not central to the epic battle or explicitly outlined in the moral directives, finds its roots in the Vedas, the essence of which is encapsulated in the Mahabharata. It introduces a paradox wherein God's divine plan operates beyond the confines of linear time, and yet the actions (karma) of individuals shape the course of events. In essence, there is a simultaneous existence of a preordained divine plan and a malleability influenced by human actions. This implies that although everything is metaphorically "written" in the grand scheme, individuals in society are contingent upon the deterministic unfolding of events that determine the repercussions of their actions. In the Mahabharata, Krishna orchestrates events with omniscient knowledge, yet the Pandavas and Kauravas exercise their free will. It's not a matter of time-travel, but rather a contemplation of determinist paradox, i.e., how actions unfold in a seemingly inevitable manner.

    @10:40 Mahabharata is not about time travel. Its a huge epic mostly about duty, family, right and wrong and karma etc. It has small subplot(s) that deals in Time dilation I.e. time passing different for different observers and in different dimensions.

      What he meant to say that the very first time travel story was recorded in Mahabharata where King Kakudmi went to meet Lord Brahma. He travelled from earth to his destination but as he met Brahma, a lot of years had been passed on earth

      @@the_spider_lily911 True, however, that is case time dilation and not of time travel. The travel was at relativistic velocity and/r the location was in high gravity field leading to time dilation (ref: the planet around black hole in Interstellar). This is not time travel i.e. moving forward/backward in timeline in the current reference frame.

    This story seems eerily similar to one which came out of Japan, I think. A man turns up in an airport with a passport for a land that didn't exist. Authorities took him to a hotel for the night before they worked out what to do with him. Next morning he had disappeared from the room. No way out apart from the door which had been guarded the whole time. I think this is the inspiration for the Russian version.

    9:50 I had this exact idea for how time travel would actually consistently work for a movie a couple of years back; basically it would revolve around trying to travel back in time to stop a war, but you need to be skilled enough to make it such that the likelihood of you failing is less than the likelihood your entire life was a lie and you had lived in VR until the point of return

    An interesting paradox turns up in HG Wells 'Time Machine' where the protagonist tries to go back and prevent the death of his fiancee. Only to see her die time after time in different ways as the universe readjusts each time as she was 'meant' to die. The realisation of this fact sending him into despair.
    Great channel Joe! You're so funny mate! I really enjoy watching 👍

      @@billytheripper4 I would definitely recommend that you give it a read... Believe it or not H.G. Wells wrote it 125 years ago. It is set in the Victorian era - and at the time was very contemporary because it was penned in the same age.
      H.G. Wells was way ahead of his time and it is still a very popular book.
