Not exactly haha, but I'll get there eventually I'm sure! I'm happy I've managed to sober up at least, though!
I've gotta rewatch it too, haven't done so in many years, but that's only because I watched it so many times already. It warms my heart that Hilson as a ship got probably as close to being the canon ending as network television would allow at the time
I was really cringe in high school. I watched House a bunch while actually getting addicted to painkillers. I had this guy best friend who I sort of crushed on before I even knew that I wasn't straight or cis, and he was basically my Wilson lol. He was this upbeat, positive bundle of social energy who had this tendency to cheat on every girl he dated, and I was this depressive asshole smartass hopeless romantic with an addiction to opioids.
I kept recommending House MD to literally everyone who knew us, hoping at least one person would see how uncanny this was just to make sure I wasn't going insane. It's a long ass show, so understandably I didn't get any bites lol
I'm sorry that was really cringe, I've never told another human being this before.
I was considering that there's probably a defined amount of time that would pass where we have a 99% chance the thing gets kicked out of the galaxy by gravitational interactions, either zipping too close to a black hole or the result of the galaxy itself being disrupted in mergers.
Important to note that Parker Solar Probe has this speed extremely deep within the Sun's gravity well, whereas probes exiting the solar system just climbed out entirely.
Bump!
Best way to leave the milky way is probably to slingshot around a black hole. Stars get ejected from galaxies all the time like this
Hey not here to talk about any of the weird consciousness stuff, just science, came back to this thread because I was interested in what you were saying about relativity. Like aren't event horizons as found in black holes and the cosmic horizon the same thing?
It's my understanding that it's not possible to synchronize two clocks without bringing them together. And regardless if two clocks are separated by an event horizon (i.e one of them fell into a black hole) or if they're separated by the cosmic horizon (i.e one is outside the observable universe) they can't ever be brought together. Doesn't that mean you can't meaningfully define a moment in time that is simultaneous for them?
Like in the case of a clock inside a black hole, that's in the infinite future of another clock outside the black hole, right?
That's kind of what I was thinking, but she did say she comes here often anyway so I'm not sure
Oh yeah for sure, I did not contact her intending to ask her out lol. It was only after how enthusiastic she was that I started thinking about it, and I'm still not even sure I'll do it, waiting to see how our in person interaction goes first. I'm totally cool staying friends with her if she's not interested!
Bump!
