The rest is stuff and nonsense, gammon and spinach.
If someone had said 4 months ago that a virus would sweep through the wealthy countries & result in half the world locking down & a large number of it's inhabitants put under house arrest, they would have been considered a fool.
A virus, an asteroid, climate change or Yellowstone popping it's cork, it's all nonsense until it happens.
What was that movie tag line? “In space no one can hear you scream” or something like that?
Why is it that, if the Chinese are denying it, I somehow wonder if it isn’t true?
Wouldn't a universe that ran backward in time still be moving forward in time from its own perspective, and OUR universe would be the one running backward in time from their perspective? Are universes just another variation on the whole drains-in-Australia thing?
And therefore, is the real answer to the question of time travel just a matter of "reversing the polarity?" Because if it is, the Third Doctor had that figured out fifty years ago.
Good article. Easy to understand.
"The core idea is deceptively simple: every observable phenomenon in the entire universe can be modeled by a neural network. And that means, by extension, the universe itself may be a neural network…. If Vanchurin’s work pans out in peer review, or at least leads to a greater scientific fixation on the idea of the universe as a fully-functioning neural network, then we’ll have a found a thread to pull on that could put us on the path to a successful theory of everything. If we’re all nodes in a neural network, what’s the network’s purpose? Is the universe one giant, closed network or is it a single layer in a grander network?"

Instinctively (and with nothing to really judge it by), I find this theory very appealing.
