Hyperloop is fucking retarded and Elon is a snake oil merchant, and comparing it to a plane is quite literally like comparing a car to a spacecraft

Can someone help me out here?
I swear to God I remember watching some film a long time ago. I'm almost certain it was narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch and Stephen Hawking, and it discussed a variety of weird science stuff. My memory is rather hazy, but I definitely remember that it talked about that paradox of travelling back in time to kill your past self before he travelled back in time, and it also talked about how you perceive time differently if you're next to, say, the pyramids.
Does this ring a bell? It might not have been Benedict Cumberbatch narrating, maybe some other British guy, but I'm pretty sure Stephen Hawking was there.

jesus christ, if I can predict every single one of your future actions you still claim you have free will?

Exhibit A: a brainlet starts to manipulate semantic constructs without assigning clear external definitions to them, and confuses itself in the process. This leaves the brainlet with a dopamine rush from a feigned sense of profoundness.

how are they decreasing?

let's say i flip a switch and suddenly i have no immune system anymore and a cold virus infects me.

I wouldn't notice it because it causes no inflammation, sore throat or any other common cold symptom.

Would the virus just turn every single cell into more viruses? Would i end up as a slimy puddle on the ground in a few hours? Probably right?

Im asking this because this retarded guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03YbD0EYO0A

Commented on a vegan womens video which said that her daughter doesn't get any cold or fevers anymore since she is vegan. He said this is because the Immune system of her daughter is literally "dead".

If this would be the case, the viruses would have had her devoured by now, or am i seeing something wrong here.

This sv3rige guy is making me so confused.

>Time is an arbitrary notation created by man
Fuck off with this retarded shit. I could just as easily say "space is an arbitrary notation created by man" and then proceed to say space travel isn't a thing, being walking from one end of the room to another or sitting still on your fat ass for a year and waiting for the Earth to circumnavigate the ecliptic. Fuck off with your basic bitch pseudoscience.

Can brainlets outsmart brainletlets?

I'm currently studying Commerce (first year student) and I got really interested in math and science after listening to some podcasts. I didn't do well enough to be accepted into a science or engineering stream at my uni but I still want to learn about it. Is there any hope for me or did I fuck my life up? Anyone got similar stories? I'm re-writing my final exams from last year, hopefully they can give me a boost to apply next year
