I wonder if there was another human sacrifice under the Shiva statue to mark the restart. Only half joking. Has anyone heard any more about why scientists performed a mock ritual like that?

#42There's still a chance they can get us all back into the correct timeline.
For those of you wondering:

I'm hoping it's some kind of temporal fuzzing where particles are going backwards in time and causing interference with both past and future events. No reason other than because that'd be awesome.
I'd settle for figuring out how to send an email to a previous point in time. I'd like to email myself in 2009. Something about buying a bunch of ASIC's and mining something for a long-term hold.
Bitcoin market cap is still pretty small as far as global financial markets go. I'd have doubts at being able to extract serious amount of money from it. I'd bet you can find something much more conventional to invest in that'll produce big gains that can be extracted easily.

I watched SG but I read the timeline reference in terms of "Community". I.e. this is the darkest timeline.
That's very interesting; I've watched both but I read it in terms of Leibniz: this is the happiest of all possible timelines.
Leibniz didn't say happiest did he? I thought he meant the best of all possible timelines, compromise-wise.

You know in that timeline you'd spend a fortune on ASIC mining hardware and the market would tank because Murphy's Law could not possibly resist showing up and ruining the party.

Would it even be possible to measure this?
Exactly. It'd be so downright bizarre and difficult to pin down that we'd probably go nuts thinking we were all delusional to imagine such a thing could exist in the first place.
Then when we have proof we'd be even more confused.

#48Ok taking bets now, missing muons are.. [ ] issue with calculations [ ] go away with more data [x] new physics! [ ] other
[x] issue with calculations [ ] go away with more data [x] new physics! [ ] other or the general answer: [x] italians
I'm using CAEN (Italian company) digitizers in nuclear research, and I've expended at least 6 months sussing out firmware problems for our simple experiments.
