Physics? Probably mostly from science fiction. If you do ever go on to Twits, which is not that great a platform, they are very poor at offering up even good stuff that I follow, such as the traditional journal material like Physics Today, or AIP, which I follow but the software algorithms

The intelligence community has not been so wonderful to Americans at large for the last several decades, so if Trumpo wanted to keep the door of communication open, that was ok with me. The world respects a strong man, and I do mean man and Joe-Joe's a whimp! Joey also ignored warning from the

This group of essays led by Strominger at Harvard, a few years ago, implies the storage and reversibility of all data axiomatically, via the interaction of gravity, and infrared photons. That is my understanding of it. Now, if someone doesn't think this is right they can always falsify it with

If a photon is emitted into an infinite universe it is irreversible in principle, not just FAPP.  But it doesn't mean the physical theory is irreversible.  The arrow of time comes from the boundary condition. Brent On 8/4/2022 8:47 AM, smitra wrote: On 04-08-2022 17:41, Alan Grayson wrote:
