xpeexcorex: does he mention the second law of thermodynamics in it? it's the one that states that entropy always increases/order always gives way to disorder/broken eggs don't go back together again?
SkyIsAcanvas: things of that sort, yes
xpeexcorex: because that's basically how we concieve of time, at this point. time is like an arrow that moves in the same direction that entropy increases and the direction in which the universe is expanding
xpeexcorex: but
SkyIsAcanvas: god forbid I ever remeber the specfics of anything
SkyIsAcanvas: I seem to remember something about weaving?
SkyIsAcanvas: they get into specifics at some point
xpeexcorex: experiments have been done where the second law doesn't apply on the quantum level
SkyIsAcanvas: some laws and stuff
xpeexcorex: like it kind of means that, on a very small scale, eggs go back together again
xpeexcorex: isn't that amazing?
SkyIsAcanvas: hmm
SkyIsAcanvas: yes
SkyIsAcanvas: I guesss
SkyIsAcanvas: except you're talking goddamned jibberish to me

someday i'm going to meet someone and i'm going to say something like "hey, did you know time speeds up when you're in motion?!" (which i manage to say to everyone at one point or another. seriously.) and they're going to say either "REALLY? THAT IS AMAZING!" or "I KNOW! RELATIVITY IS SO EXCITING!" and i will have found my soul mate.
