I wanted to know if anyone else thinks that it looks like John Travolta is ready to tear Smithâs head off.
Some different viewpoints on the time that led up to the Great Recession. Iâm not entirely convinced, but itâs interesting to see things framed with a different narrative.

While it does at the beginning just restate the basics of relativity (yes a little boring), what took me back to my childhood years, when I read all the sci-fi I could find in the library, was the ultimate conclusion. Being able to effectively travel beyond the universe and time as we know it, and unable to get back no matter how fast you traveled, even if you had infinite time.
That sounded a lot like something from one of those golden age sci-fi stories I read as a kid when everything was so fascinating.
I think back then we didnât really know as much about the expansion of the universe - we knew that it was expanding, but not how fast the rate was increasing or what that meant, at least when combined with steady acceleration.
I understand though, I usually much prefer an article vs. a video. So much easier to skim/reread, deal with interruptions, on your own timeline, etc.

My first thought was of Nell Gwyn, for some reason. Iâve not read the article yet, but I will after Iâm done catching up here.
Nope, though I think I recognized many of the names from this book
Itâs been a while, though,
This lady is just so good at what she does, I wish she could do my funeral when I die.
