I think the big bang theory thing would probably tell me that something about my framework has to be tweaked or something like that.

I view it more because, again, the cosmological origin side of things is very much not part of the thing I'm setting up.

So the first side of it, if I need to include Desider, the stuff that I'm studying is more of a stepping stone to understanding how to generalize holography.

And then the second part of it is, again, initial conditions or things like that.

We're not necessarily always...

Sometimes we're thinking about the equations and not like the solutions for the equations and the particular ones that are relevant to the real world.

So I would say that it's not going to do for the big bang, but will the big bang tell me I need to like specify once I understand better if my framework encompasses that or not.

forward at different rates.

Oh, I mean, sorry, I think what I'm saying is like, I'm just making the joke that we're all going forward in time.

But to the extent that even they have this in this Interstellar movie, if I got the name right, like this kind of twin paradox of like your clock is affected by gravity.

And so you can, you know, go around and come back and have age differently than your twin, but you're only still going forward and whatnot.

No, it's funny because we don't, like, and that's the kind of fun thing too, is like, it's, there's still cool stuff.

Like,

But the no-goes are there, and you never really get to play with all the fun things, I think.

It's always this funny thing of, sure, you can do this thing, but the caveat is it's not physical or whatever.

So this thing about you can age differently, but you can't go back in time to anything.

And it's also because it would be pretty – sometimes things are built into assumptions.

It would cause a lot of other problems if you can go back and –

like a closed time like curve you're influencing your own future um but um like yeah i just wish that i think the thing is that like in order to make progress in the field you have to be so in the nitty-gritty that you don't get to like have fun like bullshitting around with like the the things that people think physicists do but parameter is pretty close we have like we have a pretty fun um we have people who do like quantum foundations and like a wide variety of just theoretical physics where sometimes that it feels a little bit more like uh

maybe what the stereotype of a physicist or the chalkboard debating like existential things is.
