Infinite time is perfectly defined, it just doesn't exist in our universe

If you are standing in a closed box, there is no experiment you can make that tells you whether that box is standing on earth, or is on a rocket in space accelerating at 9.81m/s²

This has a bunch of interesting implications about the nature of spacetime

At the end of the story, Kushmaro is offered the task of pressing a button to denonate a building.

Cool, he's no longer a journalist under international law then.

It's also likely a war crime.

Which is by no means a call not to vote. But it should serve as a wake up call, people need to additionally organize their communities and set up support and mutual aid networks before it is to late. Both to avert the worst now, and to demand a better future

It is an interesting theory, for sure. Instead of countless 3-dimensional particles, you have a single (or very few) 4-dimensional objects. You can imagine it like a sheet of fabric that is our present, with everything above the sheet being the future, everything below the past. When you want to sew a thread (our electron) through the sheet, you need to pierce the fabric, but to do it again, you first need to piece it the other way, giving you a positron. You can create or destroy arbitrary many of these, but you need create or destroy one of each every time. More interestingly, it is exactly determined which two will annihilate each other, as the allegorical loop of thread gets pulled tighter and tighter until it gets pulled though the sheet. The universe would be deterministic.

I'm sure there's a myriad of contradictions to modern QM and particle physics, but it's fun to think about nonetheless

I'd go even further, if there's only two sides, and one is actively destroying democracy, then they've already succeeded.
