Are there any life occurrences to prove the existence of life travel?
It is kind of dicey. Our current understanding of standard model physics doesn't allow for backward time-travel scenarios. Stephen Hawking famously hosted a tongue-in-cheek welcome party for future visitors... And no one showed up. This does not mean that it is proved impossible, just that our underRead more
It is kind of dicey. Our current understanding of standard model physics doesn’t allow for backward time-travel scenarios. Stephen Hawking famously hosted a tongue-in-cheek welcome party for future visitors… And no one showed up. This does not mean that it is proved impossible, just that our understanding is limited and does not support it entirely yet. If travel faster than light were possible, time would effectively pass in reverse. Time travel forward is much more supportable, but the secrets of the fabric of space and time are being probed ever so slowly but surely by some of our finest people, so who knows what we will find out!
See lessWhy do smokers continue to smoke even though they know how dangerous and poisonous nicotine is?
People smoke cigarettes because nicotine is remarkably addictive. I started smoking cigarettes when I was very young. I don't why I did it, honestly. Probably Just because everyone else did. I didn't even like smoking. It made me cough. It made me dizzy. Sometimes it made me feel nauseated. But I keRead more
People smoke cigarettes because nicotine is remarkably addictive. I started smoking cigarettes when I was very young. I don’t why I did it, honestly. Probably Just because everyone else did. I didn’t even like smoking. It made me cough. It made me dizzy. Sometimes it made me feel nauseated. But I kept right on doing it because I don’t honestly know why.
See lessThen there was a day that I said, “Fuck this! This is stupid!” But guess what? I couldn’t quit.
My body rebelled. Every moment of every hour of every day that passed I was consumed with an overwhelming, fierce desire to light a cigarette and fill my lungs with that glorious, glorious smoke. I had to have it.
And then I’d smoke. And then the first few drags would feel great. And then I’d realize that I didn’t even like smoking. It was gross. I hated it. Yet I could not quit. I tried over and over. I’d get the shakes. I’d get nervous and angry and tense and fidgety. I’d want a cigarette more than I wanted anything. And I’d smoke.
I finally quit when I left the military. It helped that my husband detested smoking and pushed me not to do it. I stopped for ten years. Ten full years. Ten full years of always wanting to smoke. Every single day of my life.
Finally I did. I haven’t picked up a cigarette in over 10 years.
As I type this, my father, who will die soon of advanced COPD caused by cigarettes, is sitting across the room from me. He’s smoking. Because he can’t quit. That’s how addictive nicotine is. People continue to smoke because they can’t quit.
