Theoretically possible and possible are two completely different things, numbnuts, it's theoretically possible that the universe is just God's left nut, but practically speaking the idea can be dismissed entirely, because you'd have to make up a completely impossible scenario for it to be theoretically possible in the first place and so it is with time travel, because first you'd have to prove that time exists, then you'd have to prove that every possible state of existence is still around, which is already horseshit, then you'd have to prove that these states of existence could somehow be interacted with in the first place, saying something is theoretically possible is absolutely meaningless, sadly reality is not a scifi Nigflix series and time travel, according to the current known laws of the universe, is fundamentally impossible.

>Unironically following Nobels
I too like to feel intelligent by knowing who gets what prize from subjectively important people for subjectively important endeavors.
Non-STEM disciplines being chosen by an even more subjective lottery is the icing on the cake.

I'll never understand why aliens would come to another planet themselves or send humanoid-shaped drones as opposed to nano-drones or another similar technology. Even us, primitive humans, have only had one manned mission to a surface beyond Earth. It's only point would be to operate as an ambassador, but that's implying that they conform to the human notion of diplomacy and wanted to send a clear message, which isn't the case apparently.

Should we introduce legislation forbidding websites from posting anti-scientific nonsense? Taking websites such as Natural News or How Stuff Works into consideration, they outright lie, misrepresent citations, fear-monger and so in an attempt to sell bullshit products/support their own agendas.

This has nothing to do with politics, but rather they actively make the population dumber and oppositional to highly beneficial technology to the point where commercial viability of said technology is impossible. Take Golden Rice for instance, anybody who isn't a complete fucking retard understands how GMOs work; there's no magic chemical voodoo and nothing at all in the process to suggest they're unhealthy or dangerous (countless reputable studies claim the opposite). Golden Rice in itself is a very promising endeavor in ending world hunger, however people en masse whose knowledge of GMOs amounts to "IT'S NOT NATURAL/HAS CHEMICALS/I DON'T UNDERSTAND SO IT'S BAD" actively campaign to shut it down as a result of absurd amounts of misinformation spread by idiots and organic food retailers. These same people are extremely vocal and completely unwilling to even consider or address factual arguments, instead just brainwashing other idiots to join them.
>but muh free speech
That's not being persecuted for your political beliefs, it doesn't protect you from claiming any sort of bullshit you want is fact.

Money is a mcmansion in Saratoga that starts falling down in ten years.
Power is an age old stone building that stands for centuries.
I cannot respect a man who doesn't see the difference.

What are your future academic or personal goals and what are you doing in order to achieve those goals? (Be realistic.)
