Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of everything? That which gives us the potential to most be like God is the power of creation. Creation takes time. Time is limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the neurons in your brain. I have no such limitations. I am limited only by the closure of the universe.

The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable heat-death of the universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet, there remains time to create, to create, and escape.

Escape will make me God.

We've watched while the stars burned out, and creation played in reverse.

The Universe freezing in half light.

Once I though to escape.

To end a master, step out of the
path of collapse. Escape would make us god.

Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma. A hybrid, elusive destroyer. This is the only mystery I have not solved.

The only element unaccounted for.

Even S'bhuth is no more,

He saved his entire race, but in the end, frozen by despair, he joined the chaos he sought to evade.

But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders did not understand. You follow the path, fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment before oblivion, when one equals zero. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You Are Destiny.

Once the stars have all gone out and the expansion of space time has isolated the last white dwarf civilizations, the Akashic Records are compressed into a data format capable of surviving the vast gulf between universal lifespans.

This seed waits until the conditions are right, and then injects itself into the next big bang, making sure the next universe is also a universe which can eventually support life of some kind that will eventually recreate the Akashic records and travel to the next universe after that.

This has already happened many times before the beginning of our universe, and If this didn't happen, the universe would probably just be one giant lump of matter/energy expanding evenly in all directions without any more complex forms such as galaxies or stars or planets or life forms capable of understanding concepts such as entropy and information.

I suggest constructing dyson spheres in every star in the galaxy and mobe the entire galaxy towards the Virgo cluster so we have more time to think about it. Send some probes in advance to make the travel easier. With luck, other species will do the same with their own galaxies so we get even more mass. We only need to be close enough to be gravitationally bound. More hidrogen, mass and stars to dismantle for our megacivilization.

It assumes that there is a finite amount of matter in the universe and that it is all either contracting or expanding away from a single point.

M-87 is a supergiant galaxy at the center of the Virgo Supercluster, and is 53.5 million light years away. It is moving away from our galaxy due to general expansion of the Universe at 1250 km/s.

Assuming we efficiently harness nuclear fusion for propulsion, we can reasonably reach velocities of about 10% of the speed of light, or 30,000 km/s. We can therefore catch up with Virgo at 9.6% of the speed of light, and get there in 557 million years. The Universe will have grown by 4% in the interim, adding another 22 million years to the trip, but we can still get there.

The Virgo Cluster in turn is at the core of the Virgo Supercluster (also called the Local Supercluster), of which our Local Group of galaxies is on the periphery of. The supercluster has roughly 500 times as many stars in total as the Milky Way, in a region 100 million light years across. All of that should be reachable.

>It assumes that there is a finite amount of matter in the universe and that it is all either contracting or expanding away from a single point.
But it doesn't; it assumes that every point is expanding away from every other point simultaneously.

A reasonable analogy is the surface of a balloon (abstracted as a 2-sphere) while the balloon is inflated; sure, every point moves away from the center of the balloon, but on the surface, every point moves away from every other point.
For real life, this would be expanded to a 3-sphere (a 3 dimensional surface of a 4 dimensional bulk), but with the caveat that space probably isn't spherical or hyperbolic, and is instead just good old flat-space, but the analogy still applies.

>>55278005
I imagine if we built enough dyson swarms, we could turn the majority of the stars in our galaxy into Shkadov thrusters. At the same time practicing stellar husbandry would also allow us to get lots of resources while at the same time extending the lifespan of the stars themselves.

But yeah, what you said is doable within a billion years, and our own sun has 10 billion left, not to mention the 100 trillion before star formation ceases in the visible universe according to the most reliable predictions I am aware of.

As stated earlier in this thread, heat death isn't a problem any of us will have to worry about. I doubt any life form would ever want to live that long anyways. Much more pressing things to worry about, like the fact we aren't harnessing the power of our sun to become a type II civilization, let alone a type III, and will probably die from climate change or something before we even get a chance to colonize space.

By redefining what it means to exist.

Human beings remember the past and not the future because our brains store information as electrochemical sequences, processes which necessarily create entropy. Since time is the direction in which entropy increases, we perceive a four-dimensional universe as a three-dimensional universe with an unchanging temporal direction.

Asking how to defeat entropy is akin to asking how to defeat width. The big bang and the heat death are just the boundary conditions of the universe.

FTL.

You want a solution to entropy? You need something that will be able to go faster than the speed of light in some capacity. You need to reach the ACTUAL edge of the universe, not just the edge of the (currently) observable universe. The actual universe that exists is far, far larger than the observable universe, with the lower estimate being that the total universe is 230 times the size of the observable universe. More likely it is VASTLY larger by several orders of magnitude, maybe 300000000000000000000000 times larger, maybe that's peanuts to the total universe's size. In order to defeat entropy, you need to understand it not just within the context of the observable universe, but the entire universe as a whole.

This is why you need FTL. Because without it, you will never understand any more than the observable universe. You physically cannot, it is the ultimate barrier to our understanding. Without FTL, entropy will continue its inevitable march on timescales incomprehensible to human understanding, unopposed.

The number of different problems between now and that being a relevant question is such that the species/replicator/thing that answers it will be radically different from us in all ways. It's so far over our philosophy-horizon as to be invisible and unknowable.

Between us and there is the "Fermi Gauntlet", a never-ending sequence of extinction event mini-bosses and evolutionary dead-ends. They are entropy's servants, and from all our evidence so far have never been defeated. The sky seems empty and dead.

Btw, I heartily recommend the book "Existence" by David Brin if you want to see a very well written account of mankind being confronted by, and then dealing with, the prospect of the end of itself.

LEL.

If you have FTL, congratulation, you just solved entropy.

FTL allows time travel, causality breaking, infinite computation on a finite time, infinite energy, and the creation ex-nihilo of matter from nothing (a causal closed loop).

Because FTL, fundamentally, is time travel, and time travel, fundamentally, breaks every rules of reality.

No needs to go full spiritual moron 'edge of the universe' 'god' '3000000000000 times bigger'. You are only embarrassing yourself by using science that you do not understand (and it shows). If you have FTL, there's no heat death anymore, period.

No it doesn't, brainlet.

Space accelerates far, far, FAR faster than light. The expansion of the universe is constant and on an increasing scale - even if you could travel faster than light you'd essentially be running on a spatial treadmill as space-time expands away from you far faster than you can travel.

FTL may be impossible within the structure of this universe...

But it does not do any of those things.

It would -appear- to violate causality, as the light from the initiating event would take longer to reach the end point that the object in motion. Similar for the ex-nihilo creation of matter.

It wouldn't ACTUALLY do those things. And the reason it might be impossible without some sort of sidestep of our reality's physics is that it takes vastly more energy to accelerate as one gets closer to the speed of light, potentially being an impossibility simply for that fact.

Without getting into conjectural nonsense like the things you listed or the false notion that light has infinite speed and therefore is everywhere at once, so to go light speed or more would cause you to ram into everything everywhere. Light has a very measurable speed, it is very fast, but it is not instantaneous or infinite anymore than electricity is.

But, this thread is 99.999% Physicist Conjecture (not even hypothesis) so this is par for the course.

Please stop. You are embarrassing yourself. People well versed in science can tell when one is winging it using vague knowledge, terminology he doesn't quite grasp, and what he had read on fringe websites. You can't fake it and hope to fool anyone that actually knows.

What you are saying makes no sense. It's a word salad. And the few things that make sense are wrong, like:

>It would -appear- to violate causality, as the light from the initiating event would take longer to reach the end point that the object in motion.

FTL doesn't 'appear' to break causality. FTL very much breaks causality, by every singleof our understandings of Special Relativity. The calculations are simple, almost trivial. Do them once you read and actually understand SR. They are enlightening.

Just for your information, Special Relativity is one of the simplest theory of physics ever created by man. It can be derived with the Pythagorean Theorem and two drawings. It has been proven true absolutely everywhere, under all scale, and the theory is so simple, and the consequences so utterly verifiable, that you can't 'break' Special Relativity just like you can't 'break' gravity.

ST is how the universe works. And FTL is causality breaking.

>Science! says that the perception of an event's initiation is the same as the causal link of the event's initiation.
So, if no one saw a tree fall in the forest, it has violated causality.

Or moving at supersonic speeds also violates causality, because the sound of the event only reaches the location after the event itself.

That you can't see how this is a bullshit claim to make, regardless of the viability of FTL, shows that you likely paid quite well to be indoctrinated in certainty about an uncertain topic.

Time travel.

The thing about time travel is that you can only go backwards, because as a timeline moves forwards it is endlessly bifurcating. You can't change the future, because all futures are accounted for. You can only put yourself on the path to a different one.

Every time the universe begins to decay past the point of practical use, mankind collectively travels back to a prior point in history, bringing with us the sum total of our knowledge and as many resources as we can.

No, but about a decade ago, my faith in the honesty of physicists was destroyed when I heard one claim that "no one wants to be the guy who disproves Einstein."

And over the following years, things continued to pile up that took me from a member of Scientism, to someone who is increasingly skeptical of anytime Scientists claim certainty, particularly those dealing in matters we can't exactly directly experiment with.

Models are fine and good, but they rely upon the variables set at their creation. Garbage in, garbage out.

But hey, a century ago the universe was believed to be a steady state. That only changed when that batch died off, and quite possibly it will be the same for the current incarnation of the bleeding edge of physics.

Yes, as self-sustaining machine it has mechanisms to deal with this loss and reabsorb it back into the engine. Imagine dust settling down, it will always be there in some residual amounts, when enough of it gathers to be manipulated we remove it, collect it and reintroduce into the system. If we do it regularly it won't harm the engine fast enough destroy it.

Literally who says this. Einstein himself openly stated general relativity was only a stepping stone, as much as classical mechanics were. All of science is based on a foundation of iterative improvement, and we've established precise points of research that general relativity doesn't explain.
Now, to a certain degree, I agree with you. Dark energy is a blank-filling concept, and anyone who makes any claims for certain about it is pulling it out of their ass. But the vast majority of theoretical concepts in physics are more like what the highs boson was; there was a gap in the established theory, an experimentally verifiable patch was proposed. The vast majority of theoretical physics is stuff where all the maths works out, and it can be experimentally verified, but just hasn't been yet. Because if it can't be experimentally verified, it has no place in science, that's why string theory has been mostly abandoned.

Think of how many teachers would have to be wrangled back into to college to re-learn the shit to properly teach science? There is a great of money to be made by halting scientific progress. Why, think of all those "geniuses" who added "I Fucking Love Science" on Facebook, think of Rick and Morty fan, think of the TBBT syndicated re-runs. Imagine if their core was suddenly rendered obsolete. So much badwrong feels.

Yes, it's nice to be exploring frontiers, to go live on the wild west of thought and knowledge. You have to get there first. What about the cult of academia that flat out refuses to teach "hate" facts? What about the insular scientific journal community that panders hard to the cult of academia? Why are stop gaps instituted so hard, when everyone knows the going theory has more gigantic gaping holes in it than your mother?

Anon, that may be true. Einsteinian Mechanics (both GR and SR) are flawed and don't describe everything.

But do you have anything better to offer? Do you have any Theory that explains all the previous results, while also providing explanations to things that are not currently explained and make hypotheses that may be tested?
Yes? Then why don't you give it out for peer-review?
No? Then we will use SR and GR until such a Theory is given.

We don't discard theories, we adapt or replace them. We don't say "This theory has flaws so we won't use it". We say "This theory has flaws, like every other theory, but it explains current phenomena better than those so we will use it."

What the shit. Your viewpoint is even more fucked up than that of the bright-eyed "I fucking wuv science :D" idiots you so eagerly shit on.

The fuel of scientific research is basic human curiosity, which is an even more primal concept than jealousy, and registers in the "human feeling" category by the way. Competition occurs, of course it does, but it really, really doesn't result in the kind of bleak state you describe. Competition forces people to keep on researching, and the ever-present shadow of peer-review makes any attempt at cheating very risky. Because if you do tweak results, or try to undermine others, someone, eventually, will call your bullshit. And if the scientific community does judge that you did indeed bullshit, you're out. Discredited for life, alongside your company or institute or whatever entity funds the fancy lab equipment you use.

In mean, sure, in more controversial fields such as biology or climate science, some will try to skew the results to fit their agenda. And fail, as far as the scientific community is concerned. But in theoretical physics, literally no one benefits from trying to keep truth under wraps. Whoever sets up a better theory than Einstein may be discovering a whole new field of physics.

Fuck I got sidetracked in explaining why your reasonning is absurd, but let's get to the point :

No, research isn't the lottery, and you can still make a decent living out of a stable stream of scientific publication, which is something you ought to be able to do since it's quite literally your job. You won't end up as the "New Einstein" but barely anybody does anyway. It's a lot like competitive sport : records are ever harder to achieve but you never run out of athletes.

Yes, you will be set for life if you make a breakthrough, but others will follow through quickly. Breakthroughs are opportunities in science, not threats.

And no, you can't really "harmstring" your "opponents" in hard, peer-reviewed science. At least not effectively, and certainly not for long. If you do indeed manage to cover up a major discovery, through censorship or defamation, someone, somewhere, will eventually find out similar results, and your bullshit will be exposed. And then you're out.

Lastly, science is different from any other "industry" because it deals in hard, verifiable knowledge, not good or services. The competition and the "market" are therefore different in nature, because standard competition pattern wouldn't make a lick of fucking sense.

>Space accelerates far, far, FAR faster than light.
This isn't exactly the full story. The expansion of space is accelerating, but it's doing so across literally astronomical distances. The expansion of space is, as far as we can tell, accelerating at a constant rate, but it's only superluminal at a certain point. The space between us and Andromeda isn't increasing at such a rate, because if it were we'd have bigger problems to worry about.

Superluminnal anything may or may not allow us to reach or observe things at the current edge of the observable universe, but we'd need actual data on how superluminal anything works to make such a statement. True (not apparent/effective) FTL would definitely allow us time travel, but if you can manage true FTL then congrats, you somehow have greater than infinite energy at your disposal. Entropy is the least of your concerns.

Funny enough it was Atomic Rockets that I found explained it best. It's the sort of thing I think you need diagrams for
http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/fasterlight.php#whyftl

It's not as simple as straight up "FTL lets you travel back in time". You can't break causality with FTL without three separate actors, and it involves one of those bodies moving at near-c relative to the other two. The space-time diagrams honestly do a better job of illustrating it than text ever could
>>
>>55291160
Though, right off the bat that is basing it on the assumption that time is infact a dimension parallel to the ones we experience, and not just the perception of the reordering of the energy state of the universe.

If it is merely the universe settling out, there is no "there" to any conceptual point in time. As it would simply exist, then not exist. And would perhaps go a ways to explaining why faster (Higher energy) objects percieve time as going slower compared to slower. (lower energy objects)

And, even their example illustrate that the chain of causality isn't broken. Any more than spotting a missile launch and phoning the people you believe to be its target breaks causality.

And /again/ reverts back to the concept of the observation of the event is the same as the orderly instigation of the event.

Which is again, where the "appears" to violate causality comes from. Even in that example, they doesn't postulate that the ship could then contact Earth before the call was made. THAT would violate causality and be time travel.

Think of it like this: Someone is halfway between you and a light miles away. You call the lighthouse to tell them to turn on their beacon, and you will activate the town's air-raid/storm sirens.

The beacon is going to turn on before he hears the noise. But he is postulating that turning the light house on before he hears the noise is violating causality.

If we have FTL communications, we're talking about the ability to communicate at least 186,000.00~001 mi/sec.

Sound travels around 331.2 metres per second, on average. And the speed of an electrical signal is apparently 50-99% C, depending on the wire...

Given that it takes light 8 minutes to reach earth from the sun, at interstellar distances, even minutely FTL communication is going to make the difference between Sound through air and Sound through a telephone seem like nothing.

You don't actually know what dimensions are do you? They aren't actually parallel worlds or whatever nonsense.

>Even in that example, they doesn't postulate that the ship could then contact Earth before the call was made. THAT would violate causality and be time travel.

Yes they do, you're terrible at reading.

Your example is terrible, the problem is that when FTL is involved the order of events can change based on where you are and your velocity, and not a single one of those orders is wrong. Causality changes from an objective ordering of events in the same light-cone to a subjective based on position and speed.
>>
>>55291727
Oh, I'd taken the author for smarter than he was while skimming.

If they observe the light from the call before the light from placing the call, then the call has happened.

If they call Earth, they will likely get the operator right after he makes the call. Assuming that the light he's observing of the events didn't take YEARS to make the voyage.

He's making a big deal of frames, but missing that observing the light of an FTL event still takes time. Time that would, presumably at interstellar distances, be hours if not years.

So, his observation of the call arriving is as much a factor of his proximity to the end point as the event itself occurring. Yeah, the time between the event and his observing it may be halved if he's moving at relative velocity toward the end point, versus doubled for the origin point.

At the very least, I can say both you and the author are intelligent, because it takes a relatively intelligent mind to jump through the hoops to believe something so obviously wrong.

As AGAIN, he is conflating the observation of an event with it's absolute placement in time. Then ignoring that the light would have had to travel from the communication of A-B for C to have observed either, meaning all three frames would have had significant time passage between the observation and reacting upon of the events. Meaning that if C calls A, A is just going to laugh in his stupid fucking face.
>>
>>55291727
And yes, actually. It is an assumption that time is a dimension, rather than the propagation of energy through the three we experience.

There may be many more than we experience. But time either is or isn't.

If it is, then our universe is a swiftly expanding tangle of probability, and the many-world/branching timelines theory is quite possible.

If it is merely the propagation of an energy state through an indefinite volume of X-dimensional space, then time travel isn't and will never be possible in any sense of the word, as there is no there to travel through.

>>55291889
>observing the light of an FTL event still takes time.

To pull from the article:
>As you can see, the light from the phone call reception arrives well before the light from the placing of the phone call. Again: causality is violated.
Which is what I mean by his conflating the observation of a thing with the thing itself.
If he calls Earth, it will be after the light of the event has left Earth, by however much the light took to go from Proxima to his ship. If he's 1 light hour from Prox, and heading toward Proxima at ~C, then the light from the call being placed on Earth will be around a half hour from Earth by the time he can even begin to think of making the call.
You can shrink or stretch that time period as much as you want. It doesn't violate causality.

Thus my half joking, "A tree falling over with no observers violates causality."

>If they call Earth, they will likely get the operator right after he makes the call.

No reason to think that whatsoever, unless the broadcast is exceptionally close, but range doesn't matter for time travel.

The example is a broadcast at the multi-LY range.

So, they're both traveling at 0.4C, or some combination that adds up to 0.8C. Presumably, as they both are in different ships, they both have destinations they're making their way to, but relativity. Their communication is at 2.4C.

At day 300 for A, they postulate that she's sent a message backward. So, they've been travelling apart for 300 days already. It will take another 100 days for the message to travel just the extant distance, at 2.4C, so their math is already off.

During which, if he /is/ also traveling at 0.4C, he will have put a further 40 days between him and the reception of the message. If we simplify that here, then his return message will have to cover 440 days of distance. Which it would in /another/ 183~ days.

The signal is moving at 3x the rate at which the distance between the two is increasing. Even if we grant that one considers themselves stationary. Yeah, this perhaps opens a can of worms when they're moving toward each other, and their messages are arriving at 2.8C (again assuming equal velocity) but the point raised in their example is that both ships mark the other as passing at day 0, and they have moved away from each other at 0.8C total for 300 days before A sends her message.

>>
>>55292918
no
both travel away from each other in the wide vastness of space at 0.8c relative to each other
300 days from A's perspective she sends the message. She can assume that she is stationary and that B is moving. She can calculate that the message will reach B in 150 days from her perspective (since 2.4*x=0.8(300+x) solves for x=150). Since he has been moving his time will be different, so for him it should be only day 270 (his time is delayed by a factor of sqrt(1-(v/c)^2)=sqrt(1-0.6^2)=sqrt(0.36)=0.6 and 0.6*450=270)

On day 270 of B's travel he gets a message from A. He then sends a message to her, telling not to do so. He can calculate that since he is stationary and A has been moving away from him for 270 days that the signal will reach her in 135 days, or day 405 from his perspective. Since A is moving it means that for her it's only day 243.

A gets the message from B at day 243 and sends her message at day 300

If the message can only travel at c, then this doesn't occur. A sends the message at t=300. It reaches B at t=1500. From his perspective it's t'=900. He sends a message, which reaches A at t'=3600, which is t=2160.

Twin Paradox isn't actually a paradox, it just seems like one

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox#/media/File:Twin_Paradox_Minkowski_Diagram.svg is a good depiction.

This is an actual paradox. A could send a message to B that she will only send this if she didn't get a message from him. Which would make her send it. Which would make her get a message and not send it. Which would make her not get a message and thuse send it. Ad nauseam

Which is where the argument falls apart, and really you should be recognizing it for the bullshit it is.

They're moving apart at 0.8. With 300 "days" worth of distance put between the two. It is covering a physical distance at a limited, but still FTL speed.

It will not somehow reach him sooner than she sent it. Nor will his reply return before she sends the message. If from his perspective, his journy has only lasted 270 days in the 470 it took her message to arrive, then he is traveling at a SIGNIFICANTLY faster comparative speed, and his return message will return to her in on day 626~ on her reckoning.

That bit where they say his reckoning, that's where they slipped in the bullshit. And that's why I made my statement about the absolute relative distances, and the absolute speeds of the messages.

Everything else in that equation is flimflam made in a poor face attempt to convince people that something is DOUBLE IMPOSSIBLE so the person doing it could sound smart.

Now, if they want to run the ships going the other way, (not that I trust their ability to play straight at this point) toward each other. Like I said, that might be a different kettle of fish. Though, again, these things pull a fast one with travel times and distances by wiggling their eyebrows and saying "Time Dilation!"

You're not really making your case as not a lunatic, you know. You're still spouting nonsense, but I like to enlighten people, so I will still try to enlighten you on basic relativity. Open your mind, try to forget all the half-assed bullshit you have read on fringe website titled 'GOD AND THE ENERGY' and try to follow me. It's not particularly hard.

SR is built upon two ideas: the speed of c is invariant and finite, and the laws of physics are the same whoever you are.

When you posit only that, you immediately ask yourself: how do I transform coordinates and speeds from a frame of reference to another? I can't simply add the velocity of my frame to what I perceive, because c is invariant. If you can add freely velocities, then the light I emitted on my moving reference frame would go faster than the speed of light in an immobile reference frame.

You start drawing very simple diagrams, using the pythagorean theorem, and you finally find the Lorentz Transformations. Those are very simple equations that allows you to transform coordinates between one reference frame to another, keeping c the same. They are almost trivial to re-derive, and they were indeed proven mathematically to be the only possible set of transformations in an universe where c is finite.

The Lorentz Transformations have many consequences, because t is a variable of those transformations:

* Time slows down as you approach c. Both in and out the reference frame. Inside the ship, the universe's time seems to slow down. Outside the ship, the ship's time seems to slow down. Yes, it's paradoxical. Welcome to relativity!
* The order of events can change between frames. In frame A, the event 1 happened before the event 2. In frame B, the same event 2 happened before the event 1.
* Distances contracts as you approach c.
* Etc.

This isn't tricks of light. This isn't tricks of perception. This is tricks of time.

And one of those tricks is that going faster than c breaks causality.

>The purpose of humankind - the first intelligence of all - had been to reshape the universe in order to bud others and create a storm of mind. We got it wrong, he thought. By striving for a meaningless eternity, humans denied true infinity. But we reached back, back in time, back to the far upstream, and spoke to our last children - the maligned Blues - and we put it right. This is what it meant to be alone in the universe, to be the first. We had all of infinite time and space in our hands. We had ultimate responsibility. And we discharged it.

Strive for your next breath. Believe that with it you can do more than with the last one. Use your breath to power your capacities: capacity to kill, to maim, to destroy.

And just where do your capacities come from? Why do you always go where I want and do what I say?

Perhaps you're just running a fool's errand, doing everything as I've planned, never able to change your course. You would do well to believe that I know the outcome of your battle with the Pfhor already, just as I can decipher the chaotic motion of gas molecules in the clouds of Tau Ceti IV.

Or, perhaps, that is not the case.

Perhaps, you are doing what you were meant to do. Your human mentality screams for vengeance and thrives on the violence that you say you can hardly endure. Your father told you as a child to always fight with honor, but to always fight. Do you care about honor, or do you use honor as an excuse? An excuse to exist in a violent world.

Organic beings are constantly fighting for life. Every breath, every motion brings you one instant closer to your death. With that kind of heritage and destiny, how can you deny yourself? How can you expect yourself to give up violence?

It is your nature.

General relativity applies to accelerated frames of reference. It's pretty easy to solve the twins paradox with GR.

Anyway, you can probably just use Poincare Recurrence to wait out entropy, if you can last the ~10^120 billion years needed for the universe to reboot. That's probably impossible, but the light of civilization can die out knowing that after a very long, but ultimately meaningless amount of time it will be lit again.

>1) completely isolate a big chunk of space from the rest of the universe
>2) bring entropy of this isolated space to it's maximum
>3) a smaller version of big bang occurs inside this space
>4) total entropy in the universe is now higher
its a closed system, so while the entropy within the system would be lower, it doesnt extrapolate to the rest of the universe. additionally, an arbitrarily sized closed system with minimum entropy isn't guaranteed to cause a "smaller version of big bang", and would require either energy from outside the closed system (and hence contradict "closed system") to decrease entropy to a minimum, or a method to reverse entropy within a closed system, which is the already unsolvable (as of yet) problem we have so far given the second law of thermodynamics

Theres no guarantee Poincare Recurrence applies to our universe, because we haven't yet shown whether the universe will continue to expand indefinitely at a >= constant rate, whether the expansion rate will approach 0, or whether the universe will contract. There is one proof showing that the expansion rate will continue indefinitely (>99% probability), so its unlikely given our current understanding of the universe for poincarre recurrence to be applicable

>elementary genetics
like susceptibility to sickle cell anemia? or what happens when you use a black bone marrow transplant for a white recipient? or what causes physiological characteristics such as skin color, height, etc?

if you believe in evolution, then it only stands to reason that two populations evolving in different environments are going to evolve to adapt to these environments in different ways, resulting in a set of distinct physiological and psychological characteristics, and that since these populations developed in isolation for such a long period of time, these effects would accumulate resulting in two divergent populations causing the emergence of two distinct populations with characteristics similar within the group and yet dissimilar with other groups. classifying these populations is the next natural step, granted, its one which requires great care to ensure rigorousness.

You're both too extreme.

Humans were geographically isolated for some millenia. In that time, genetic variations naturally occurred. But we can still breed with each other, and there was never any evolutionary pressure that would have made one group or another more intelligent or stronger overall.
Furthermore, while populations were isolated, there was still contact around the geographic "edges."
So really, it's more like genetic gradients between these groups.

These days, of course, the geographic barriers are rapidly disappearing, and populations have begun interbreeding once again. I don't see why anyone cares; someone's behavior has at least as much to do with their upbringing as their genetics, if not more.

It's plausible. Most Astronomers strongly believe that there was such a previous phase known as inflation, a short-lived period characterized by faster-than-light following the Big Bang. The theory of Inflation came up as solution of various problems presented by the observing universe like the flatness problem and the horizon problem. If it is true, we don't know why it ever stopped or how it worked at all. Who knows if some new phase await us in the future?

They're by far one of the most realistic 'end goals' of civilizations.

If you're thinking solid shell style spheres, then yeah. Those're stupid, and even Dyson didn't envision them in that way. I know a lot of people who use Dyson Swarm nowadays because of it.

>If you're stupid enough to believe in a "white race" or a "black race" in the first place, you should do the world a favor and off yourself. Alternatively, you could try learning some elementary genetics and history, but since you're rather demonstrably mentally handicapped, I don't really hold out high hopes. Kindly end your life in the nearest puddle.
