  • Ah, you're viewing it as a timetravellers' dilemma.

    My view was more that we're an observer in the lagrangian solution to the differential equation we call life. The electron, being a constant in the equation. Remove the electron, you alter the equation, therefore destroying known life.

  • What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? October 29
  • I'm enjoying "The Overstory" by Richard Powers for my fiction fix.

  • What's the most memorable dream you've ever had
  • I was playing with a magical lamp in the old volkswagen getting rusty in my grandma's yard. When, surprisingly, the whole car turned into sand and I drowned.
