Figure 5: Previous figure copied on top of itself. It goes on like this in both directions forever. m′,m′′,m′′′ are (time-like worldlines of) observers “equivalent with” the observer m living on t̄. (Németi, István et al. “Visualizing ideas about Gödel-type rotating universes.” (2009))

Ok, these are brilliant.

I do think you need that one above to make sense of the one at the bottom. Not sure you don't need the other one I just reblogged, too.

Because they are all in a series after all.

I STILL don't get it.
But I think I have a better idea of WHY I don't get it which is a step forward. I feel less like it breaks my brain and more like I don't understand the mechanism of this particular effect that causes this principle to be true. There's stuff to work with, here, instead of just throwing up my hands in despair of what they're even talking about.

"Ah, good," said the Patrician. "Now, I would just like to ask one or two questions, if I may?"
Goodmountain nodded.
"Firstly, is Mr. Cut-My-Own-Throat Dibbler involved in this enterprise in any significant managerial capacity?"
"What?" said William. He hadn't been expecting this.
"Shifty fellow, sells sausages--"
"Oh, him. No. Just the dwarfs."
"I see. And is this building built on a crack in space-time?"
"What?" said Gunilla.
The Patrician sighed. "When one has been the ruler of this city as long as I have," he said, "one gets to know with a sad certainty that whenever some well-meaning soul begins a novel enterprise they always, with some kind of uncanny foresight, site it at the point where it will do maximum harm to the fabric of reality." [...]
"What?" said Goodmountain.
"We haven't noticed any cracks," said William.
"Ah, but possibly on this very site a strange cult once engaged in eldritch rites, the very essence of which permeated the neighborhood, and which seeks only the rite, ahaha, circumstances to once again arise and walk around eating people?"
"What?" said Gunilla. He looked helplessly at William, who could only add:
"They made rocking horses here."
"Really? I've always thought there was something slightly sinister about rocking horses," said Lord Vetinari, but he looked subtly disappointed.
Terry Pratchett, The Truth* *For the anon who requested the bit about cracks in space-time from this excellent conversation in The Truth, where Vetinari demonstrates the Ankh-Morpork approach to urban planning.

Coming clean about why I'm here.
There is nothing uncanny or mysterious about time travel. Time travel is trivial. The passing of time is relentless banal even. My contemporaries would do better to ask how one could *stop* time traveling rather than searching for ways to start. And even travel into the past is an easy thing-- that surprises you I see!
You have traveled into the past many times, as have I. Time travel is easy. The actual issue is *realizing* that one has been transported. When you travel in time the imprint, the shape of the present moment is a powerful force. Both the past and future have already been shaped, although the deep past is more rigid, and the deep future, much softer. Our minds can alight within any moment of their continuity. But in doing so we forget, we are reformed into the past version of ourselves, knowing only what we knew then, and nearly always doing the same things we have always done.
The key to time travel is to realize you are likely *already* in your past. And you have, right now, the opportunity totally reshape the future.
Consider it from a probabilistic standpoint: those of us aware of time travel will likely put in great effort to revisit key moments in the past where we could have made a difference, where we could have made a better future. We likely go back again and again, effecting perhaps only small changes each time.
This means it is much more likely that you are, right now, a time traveler into your own past at the precipice of fixing something critical, provided you can overcome the inertia of present shape of the universe in time.
Do you see it? The slightly more difficult but better path forward?
For me it was sharing this idea with you, I think of it often, but have kept it to myself for fear of being called mad. Intuition suggested sharing this with you might be the change I was sent to make.

“The controversial idea that quantum effects in the brain can explain consciousness has passed a key test. Experiments show that anaesthetic drugs reduce how long tiny structures found in brain cells can sustain suspected quantum excitations. As anaesthetic switches consciousness on and off, the results may implicate these structures, called microtubules, as a nexus of our conscious experience.
According to some interpretations of quantum mechanics, a system can exist in multiple states simultaneously until the act of observing it distils the cloud of possibilities into a definite reality. Orchestrated objective reduction (Orch OR) theory postulates that brain microtubules are the place where gravitational instabilities in the structure of space-time break the delicate quantum superposition between particles, and this gives rise to consciousness.”
““It’s fascinating,” says Steven Laureys, a neuroscientist at the University of Liège in Belgium. “I don’t think we can just a priori claim that there is no role whatsoever for quantum principles in the workings of the mind and brain.””

Pillars of the Universe
We see stars, moon, sun, etc. moving in space whenever we look into the sky, but why don't they fall down like raindrops. This is a silly Q that comes into every child's mind once in their childhood. But it is not a silly question, Allah replies to this curiosity:
“ Cannot you understand that it is Allah who holds back the heaven so that it should not fall down upon the earth except by His permission”? [22:65]
“Surely Allah holds the heavens and the earth that they do not cease to exist; and indeed in case they cease to exist, WHO IS THERE TO HOLD IT BACK EXCEPT HIM (35:41) 
“ Allah is the One Who raised up the heavens without pillars that you see…..” (13:2)
Tumblr media
The interrogation [don't you understand that Allah raised up the heavens without pillars] is not the same as when Allah asks [dont you understand that Allah raised up the heavens without pillars that you see] indicates that are there some invisible pillars acting as pillars that hold the heavenly bodies together which we can't see. Yes, this is a clue that the Quran revealed when people were unaware of these things in the 6th CE. ( Quran 13:2, 22:5). Science says it's gravity or a Space-Time Fabric.
Tumblr media
"To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is All-Powerful over everything. Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the day and night, there are signs for people of reason".[3:189-190]
