  1. 🎉🦖 Calvin and Hobbes turned 40 and NPR decided to transmogrify this milestone into a nostalgia-fueled essay. Apparently, the world has been eagerly waiting for a deep dive into a comic strip that taught us all that cardboard boxes can be time machines. 🚀📦

  2. #TimeTravelAuthors & #SciFi fans know that various styles of #gyrosocopic devices have stood in for #TimeMachines going all the way back to #HGWells's original 'The Time Machine' of 1895 (see 'Contact' movie of 1997). #Quantum #physicists have proposed colossal rotating #cylinders, and other #theories employing #wormholes — macro to micro — again, #spinning #mechanical #systems. @KronoMoon remains open to all manner of #TimeTravel approaches, including via #quantum #signals or #consciousness.

  3. @DelphineAngua @dgar Good point. ✅

    I previously used the word ‘proves’ loosely.

    There are in fact explanations (thankfully improbable IMHO) for why we have NOT been inundated with visitors from a future after #TimeMachines have been invented by #STEM #GradStudents. One is that ‘#VentureCapitalists ‘ lacking a high-quality #LiberalEducation will extinguish ALL other futures for humanity. 🤔
