can't believe that thanks to light, the universe is laid out in reverse-chronological order

ok to be fair this makes assumptions about the nature of time and whether eg our universe is a holographic projection from ads

@[email protected] Can my prize be to get “chronoillogical” adopted as a term of art to replace “reverse-chronological”?
Show threadDan HonOct 4, 2023
@Meyerweb may I suggest chronillogical as it's slightly easier to say, would reflect the likely pronunciation, and may also be easier to spell?

@danhon Okay FINE I GUESS

@danhon imagine how weird the universe would be if light had negative velocity

@llewelly @danhon

That would be tachyon vision. Tachyons take the same amount of time to get here, but they come from the future.

Don't blame light, gravity has the same problem. I blame the Michelson–Morley experiment for depleting the luminiferous aether.

@danhon give dark a chance to run things, how much worse could things be?
Show threadDan HonOct 4, 2023
@grebmar clearly dark would order things to promote engagement, so recent evidence indicates worse than a gamma ray burst tire fire
