I also understand the word FICTION, the definition of which seems to be highly contested in this household. Well really he’s just mad at Christopher Nolan I think. We have this debate like every three months.

   
   The word the definition of which is contested in this household is not fiction but SCIENCE

   Once you're in pinched space-time you're outside of causal reality. You can impact causal reality at any point. If you have access to the entirety of the 4th dimension (assuming "time" has dimensionality which is fucky but like, just go with it bruh), then retrocausality is meaningless. Crying about retrocausality in the case where "time" and the causal relationships that underpin it are extradimensional interactions is a fool's errand. Like a 2d being complaining that we mined a rock or some shit. Probably a similar experience from that perspective. idk

   
   
   
   Like kinda I guess, my issue with interstellar’s wormhole thing is just that it a. invalidates the rest of the narrative and makes the vast majority of the plot filler to pad out the deus ex resolution b. related, is not meaningfully foreshadowed or built towards c. is somehow powered by human emotions? and c.1 if we accept time as reversible which you kinda need to for various reasons and to make wormhole time travel exist and c.2 accept that you can influence the past in that scenario then c.3 I think you’re kinda stuck with the need for yet another dimension on top of time or need branching or some shit which means there’s an infinity of universe where McC didn’t universally nipple twist his daughter into being a feminist icon and humanity’s savior and the value of human life and the basic morality that underpins the whole narrative falls apart but is also really kind of an interesting idea that remains 100% unexplored because love conquers all or some bullshit
   
   But that’s really all plot problems. The shitty internally inconsistent science comes in elsewhere, most egregiously in nigger wave planet

   Also I will never forgive the fucking gravity/wave planet bullshit of interstellar

   Originally posted by Meikai Wormholes are cool as fuck in the sense that they're literally just… like… pinched space-time. Anything beyond that is retarded. I've never seen Contact, but Interstellar didn't piss me off too much. Kinda just a guy in pinched space-time experiencing 4-dimensional reality, and - with the help of 4-dimensional beings - tweaking 3-dimensional reality's nipples in a way that his daughter could understand.

   
   BUT RETROCAUSALITY?!?!
   
   Reeeeee!

   Interstellar would have been better as a gay sex scene between Mcconaughey and Damon called “Matt Meats Matt”

   I mean yeah, wormholes are almost universally sci-fi science woo magic, but I mean it’s at least a way of facilitating a plot that doesn’t fall apart under scrutiny of highschool level physics.
   
   Not that I really know what I’m talking about, but I don’t think there’s a need to suppose that travel through wormholes involves deconstruction and reassembly of matter.
   
   And in the case of contact, the travel is mediated by technology so at least it’s not “derp I flew into a black hole and saw god” level deus ex

    Fuck you octavian, I just got into an hour long argument about Disney’s relation to non-European cultures and cultural appropriation.
    
    If the next Disney movie isn’t about how the Catholic Church doesn’t let brown people use condoms I’m going to bomb the Boston marathon

    I think Disney is shit and that their “wheel of diversity” films wherein Disney wallpapers their singular narrative with other peoples’ cultures are one of the few places where the phrase “cultural appropriation” isn’t bullshit…

    Me personally? Nah. Probably the first hundred or so given time, but there's like thousands and thousands and the later ones require a lot more number theory than I've got.

    Scron you nigger, I have been carrying this site and your welfare soaked ass on my back for 7 years despite its producing 0 revenue. You faggots have started two competing sites which I’ve allowed to be advertised here, two discords, god knows how many different TC rooms and a Minecraft server, none of which still operate so you can drink a gallon of my vermouth flavored piss.

    Buy an old phone or dual boot hackintosh. I really doubt anyone gives enough of a shit to invest all the time required to build an iOS simulator in windows when it’s a very edge use case you can solve for in about five minutes with under a thousand bucks
