Actually it will be blocked because most people don’t want a “car free future” in the first place, they want cars. It’s sort of like people who talk about a meatless future, who forget that not everyone shares their desires. It’s also worth

It’s important to note the distinction between being able to model antiparticles as the time-reverses versions of their partners, and then actually “moving backwards through time” as it were. It’s not as though a sample of anti-hydrogen exp

It’s a difficult problem to solve. For example the phrase, “I want to have a serious conversation about immigration” can mean that you want to have an intellectually honest, detailed conversation about immigration. You want to talk about th
