Whoever wrote this is extremely bad at writing articles. The way the language is used is confusing, repetitive, and lacks any sort of logical flow.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Likely that's Whatever wrote it.

AI summaries are really good. I do believe this was written by a person.

Yeah, too many spelling mistakes and grammar errors actually make me think it actually was written by a person (... who probably didn't pass their high school English class).

Yeah I'm getting strong ChatGPT vibes here. Confident repetition seems to be it's hallmark.

The only thing I learned from this article is that I should avoid indy100.com as a source of articles.

There's no good summary of the research, the writing is generally terrible, the original study isn't linked, nor is the source journal, and even the study's full title isn't given.

I can already travel through time. I do it at a rate of one second per second.

What happens to the second person?

They get autocorrected

Sometimes, if you go real fast on another axis, you can go slower than 1sec/sec!

Or when you are doing planks, you go slower than 1 sec/sec.

To summarise: You can’t go back. Ever.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'd add that we already know two ways to go forward: 1) wait, and 2) go really fast.

Damn, trying to give a clever reply, on how black holes might be wormholes into a slower or faster dimension but not our own past, I fell into the rabbit hole of "if higgs field gives particles mass, and mass causes gravity, does that mean higgs field is effecting spacetime, because space time is effected by gravity?"

Of course they don't because one is standard model of particle physics and the other theory of general relativity.

The Higgs field affects spacetime by causing gravity, which bends both space and time.

I recommend PBS Space Time on YouTube,. If you think you fell down a rabbit hole for this post, brother, there's a whole universe waiting for you! And, it's presented by a delightful Australian bloke.
