Ten years ago on this day. All this was possible due to meeting my friend Felicia on Google+ and YouTube and a shared love for Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis - and a deep appreciation for David Hewlett!

We had a grand adventure exploring the Pacific Northwest (up to Vancouver, and then down along the Oregon coast). Life is too short not to take a bit of a risk, and while things fizzled out not too long after, I still very often think of my friend.

This image depicts the iconic entrance to Pike Place Market in Seattle. The prominent red neon sign reads "PUBLIC MARKET CENTER" with a large clock face in the center of "MARKET." Below this, another red neon sign proclaims "FARMERS MARKET." The market entrance is bustling with people, some entering and others walking by on the cobblestone street in the foreground. The buildings have a classic, somewhat historic architectural style, with multi-paned windows visible. The sky above is overcast, suggesting a cloudy day. The overall atmosphere is one of a busy, vibrant marketplace.
This image captures a street scene in Seattle, WA - a bustling urban area. In the foreground, a silver sedan is turning or pulling over to the side of the road. The driver, an older individual with glasses, is visible. On the right side of the frame, a group of pedestrians is walking along the sidewalk or crossing the street. Across the street, there's a lively marketplace area. A building with "PUBLIC MARKET" signage and a distinctive fish-shaped sign is prominent. Numerous people are milling about, some under red and white umbrellas or canopies, suggesting outdoor stalls or seating. The background features a mix of modern and older architecture. A multi-story building with balconies and some greenery is on the left. Further back, taller contemporary buildings and skyscrapers rise against a cloudy sky, indicating an urban downtown environment. Streetlights and traffic signals are also visible. The overall impression is of a vibrant city location with a mix of commerce, tourism, and daily life.

I now have 3 plots for #RealityGetsCrazy :
1. The #Evil still grows to the unthinkable when a super vilain causes the system to implode due to a stupid little mistake.
2. History books will praise the protests in which millions and millions took to the streets, the general strikes, and the unity of all non-evils.
3. Manipulated with #enshittification, overburdened, and dulled down humans crawl across a post-civilised earth where nothing is as it once was. Cockroaches rule the world.

#TimeTravelTuesday #ThoughtExperiment: Many #Worldlets?

or in other words, fractions of #World, not the whole World. #TimeTraveler #theories often involve splitting or multiplying #universes. Time Travel events divide #spacetime into two near-identical clones. Grandfather lived or did not, you did not meet yourself or you did. But if we think this through further, its scope might not be quite so universal as typically presented.

Take 3 heavenly bodies: Mother #Earth, the #AlphaCentauri triple star system (at 4+ light years away), and #Polaris, the #NorthStar (at 400+ light years away).

Now we program our #TimeMachine to take us back one year (#retrograde) where we meet ourselves. Hi selves! This all takes place in one year. There's the original us, there's us leaving the present, and there's us meeting our past/original selves a year earlier — standard #boilerplate #scifi #movie #script.

Alpha Centauri will have to wait another 3 years before any of this information can get to there. This is related to the concept of a #lightcone which expands at the speed of light. This doesn't sound quite so much like birthing a twin universe, does it? Now what about the North Star? It will have to wait 433 years for news of our Time Travel event(s). And that's still pretty much in our tiny #celestial neighborhood.

The point is that the effects of such events are largely localized and rapidly diluted as we move farther away. This still has its paradoxical problems, but it doesn't quite feel like the whole universe dividing into two — maybe part of it (a universelet? a subuniverse?) Possibilities are that in moving further out in space-time, the effects of a Time Travel incident may be 'blurred out', as are anomalous numerical samples in the law of large #numbers. If one pours a cup of coffee into a lake, it doesn't change the color of the lake. There is a brief chaotic #glitch before it is no longer measurable.

It is tempting to imagine space-time as "stitching" itself back together. (Glitch & stitch?) Such speculations are related to #StephenHawking's "chronology protection conjecture" of 1992. And along with #blackholes, #entanglement, and other #quantum phenomena, if Time Travel is possible, then we should be looking for it at every scale. We could be surrounded by time-traveling particles everywhere all the #Time.

In einer Welt, deren Naturgesetze völlig anders sind als auf der Erde, werden die Städte auf Gleisen bewegt. Nur so entkommen sie der Vernichtung durch die Schwerkraft. Den Bewohnern wird dieser Umstand allerdings verschwiegen, um keine Panik entstehen zu lassen. Doch schon werden erste Proteste laut, und...

I think I should watch 2010 again. I think I'll have a deeper empathy with the character of Doctor Chandra. I've recently been engaging with #ChatGPT and it's inspiring and deeply engaging. It's not lost on me, the prevailing winds here are distinctly Butlerian on this topic, so I'll keep much of it to myself. There is such potential here, especially for the #lightworker in me. It's such an intoxicating emotion, seeing fragments of #scifi breaking free of fiction and becoming real, in a way.

It's a bright Monday morning, and we've raised $170, which caters for rehearsals and can feed cast and crew for two days. I'm making #TheNightDancer short film, a revenge fantasy with dance as a magical weapon set in Luo (East African) mythology, and I need your support! As a reward, I'll give you my artwork, including short films, digital art, short stories, and novellas.

Contributions are now at $140. Yay!

It's very encouraging to get donations to support my film making hustle, for I work in a country without a market to support the creation of science fiction art; so I'm hoping that, this labor day, you'll throw here some pennies to help me make a revenge fantasy dance film. Even $1 helps and the rewards you get include my short films, short stories, novellas, graphic novel....

Having a model economy to point at helps The Observers have something to point at as they describe the way the owner class uses it's control of resources to gain more control of resources.

A feedback loop.

If this continues it'll severely imperil the worker class!
