Critical Tweeting Raphael Bousso: ‘The World as a Hologram: Black Holes, Information, and the Quest for a Unified Theory of Nature’

* I took this screenshot from my bed the other day. Now everything just makes a bit more sense. This is me tweeting an entire lecture about black_holes by Raphael Bousso.  It just seemed like that would make sense.  https://twitter.com/rosa_menkman * Ah nice, Raphael Bousso used a keynote preset - sticking with the theme of #darkUniverse #the_role_of_black_hole_thinking * "if you sit on the star you can see the star collapse, but if you fall in the black hole a while after it forms, you see only empty space" * #Black_hole_amnesia * "people say that entropy is disorder b ut i have no clue what disorder is" *  "There comes a point when you have to run with the speed of light to get out of quicksand." Physicist Raphael Bousso #darkuniverse * what it means to be a crystal: once you know one place of an atom, you will know all your atoms * given full information on now, I can predict the future and retrodict the past. Information is never lost. * There is a uni...

Dreams about gardens, walking through gardens, big houses with a thousand doors, boxes that you can open and find things in, shifting the reality to something completely different. explaining my ** (edit re:Alex: you)  what i have in my boxes. dreaming about talking to them and really getting to know them/me/you.  You answering the questions really honestly, I am talking to you like I completely understand what you mean, telling you about our favorite gardens and you feeling like we are totally in sync.  i dreamed a lot about flying when i was young. the feeling of having to work really hard but then it would pay off, at some point suddenly i would float a bit higher above the ground. and then i was just working to get higher, so that people would not be able to keep me down to the ground. - i needed them to not be able to reach, And then the fear of coming down to the ground again, cause there is where all people that might keep me down are.  i don't know why people...

Hello PlutoTime == back_when_Now_is

This morning. i am just sitting here. the Sun is setting at Now and its hazy  (Now == ?) Every time i say now, i use it to point at something already, just, passed  (now == #) i know the ambiguity of this very specific N/now. now was constantly/now is constantly; right there/just when. i use the word so frequently; possibly more than once an hour (it is almost boring - ) Imagine a culture that doesn't know now. this culture is not on Now. a reason for a culture not to use now, is for it to simply have no sense of now. maybe it lives at another Now: Then or When... it might be a culture without a #LinearTime. there is no in-between. this culture simply does not use this sense of horizon.  But if there is no #EventHorizon, or at least not the one i sense at Now, how does this culture navigate? do they have a permanent sense of meunières disease? do they live in a state of non-navigation and constant confusion or impending nausea? or is it just another st...
