I watched Wall-E this past weekend with my son. It’s his favorite movie and we’ve seen it many times. As you probably know, it starts zooming in to the earth in the year 2805. In March, there was a treaty to try to find a solution to clean up all the space junk because, right…

Nature performing for today’s post.

I don’t know if anyone has said this before. Probably, but I said this to my son this morning when we were talking about the paradox of time travel and killing yourself in the future or the past. The basic thought behind it is that nobody knows when they’re going to die, so it’s basically…
