Side note, does it count as a shower thought when it was conceived while sitting on the toilet? Do we have toilet-sitting-thoughts communities?

    Well to borrow a bit from the rest of the threads here, just how much baby cancer is in the builder’s project or the programmer’s code? The difference in perspective between an all powerful all knowing being knowing fully what the entirety of the outcome of their creation vs our speculation of the outcome of our works is probably incomparable. Would there even be a difference between experiencing the spectacle of the universe verses perfectly knowing it as an all knowing being? That might be an interesting philosophical question.

      Yea definitely. I unironically think that IF there is truth to it, it’s more likely in a perceiving spacetime as easily as we look at a tree or a cloud, but… well, taking such a concept through physics is pretty difficult. There are some fun holographic type of ways to represent spacetime as an object to be played with from the outside, but the math is far beyond me to verify and expand on. It was a TED talk, so the votacity of it might be questionable, too. lol

      So many other ways to represent spacetime don’t make it very obvious how to control things through time as desired or otherwise control time.

      Hell, maybe it’s simply a philisophical statement that humanity will get wise enough to easily predict further and further in to the future, like climate change, and watching the sun’s cycles vs other stars, etc.
