I'm still struggling with the different time-travel principles/hypotheses. The self-consistency principle, wherein the thing/person sent back in time was always part of history, does not jive with me.

I like the multiple universes theory better. Whatever you send back or forward in time just creates its own separate universe. You could thus go back in time and kill your own dad without creating a paradox. You just killed your dad in that one universe.

Yeah, I can live with that. :handshake:
 
The Theory of Everything (2014) - Pretty interesting review of Hawking's life, but overly sappy and hollywoodian. They conveniently stopped the movie before covering SH's second marriage to his abusive nurse.

Coulda used more science.

Lead actor was terrific. Prolly gonna win some trophies for this shit.

Currently watching District 9 which is my 2nd watch of that. I am finding it very good actually. I was left with a somewhat bad taste from my first viewing because of what I consider a major flaw. I know that flaw is still there and will become more and more major as things go along. Just a really big logic issue. But that aside, it's a pretty well done movie for that sort of thing.

We'll see if I feel any differently about the flaw this time around.

Do y'all know the flaw I'm talking about?

Hehe. Now you can read the short story, it's one ingenious bit of writing.

Nice.

I'm not crazy about what the movie did with the ending, both what they added and what they left out.

I wish they had left in the solipsistic "where'd all you zombies come from?" sentiment from the story.

I love what the movie did with the dialog, the emotional development of the Unmarried Mother, and the small changes to the time machine and time-jump special effects.
