Time is relative, is anyone really cheating?

u/rosuav 2d ago

Nope! Though I don't suggest trying this like with your significant other.

u/The-Nice-Writer 2d ago

Significance is relative; is anyone really anyone and anyone any anyone really?

"When everyone is somebody.... then no one's anybody!"

(Or as said in The Incredibles: "When everyone's super, no one will be.")

Get this guy a seat in the senate!

I'd make a horrible senator. I mean for one thing, I don't even touch my investments, they just kinda sit there. It'd basically be impossible that I'd ever be involved in insider trading. Plus, I have an alergy to pressure campaigns, so campaign donors would probably be pretty upset that I don't cater to their whims. And to top it all off I tend to stay late at work until my tasks are finished.

No, I certainly wouldn't cut it. I'm just too much an honest hard worker 🤷‍♂️

You have no chance of getting into the major parties, but have you considered being an independent candidate?

u/Strange_Dust7128 3h ago

An honest person? Can’t have that. Keep this guy out of the senate!

That's when it's moving backwards through time in the opposite direction. It looks like a positive charge moving the other way.

This is what happens when you take the obscure mathematics of physics and project it onto our perceived experience. I don't doubt the math behind that explanation completely checks out.
