Apparently basic AdS has CTCs but not its universal cover

0celo7

Hmm

What is the cover of AdS

Slereah

Apparently it's just because the naive method to get AdS makes time basically just a circle

So the universal cover will be $\mathbb{R}$

(when you pretend AdS is embedded in $R^5$ with $ds^2 = -du^2 - dv^2 + dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2$)

you just unroll the CTCs like a garden hose

0celo7

00:37

@Slereah sounds like a JD analogy

Slereah

Do you want a Secret diagram instead

0celo7

lost my pencil again

@Slereah pls

Slereah

0celo7

PLAGIARISM

Slereah

01:18

Hm

There's a whole thing on the Cauchy problem for spacetimes with CTCs

But I wonder what it is like for spacetimes with naked singularities

I assume the singularity can act as a sink and source, but I wonder what are the details

0celo7

done with tedious homework

now for the ~~fun~~ pls kill me part

research paper

@Slereah dude, pls give me all the papers

what would be an awesome thing to write my thesis on one day

just send 'em through Skype

Slereah

Which ones

0celo7

ctc cauchy problem

Slereah

Hm

80 MB total for CTCs

Uploading it

I didn't rename all the filenames yet but I'm sure you'll manage

I should make a nice folder and share it with like

/r/timetravel

I'm sure people who enjoy light discussions about fun time travel would love a giant folder of general relativity, topology and real analysis

0celo7

probably

Woo!

You are peddling woo!

Slereah

01:27

That I am

The thing JD does not seem to understand though

Is that the importance of studying such things isn't because you believe they are real

But because they show up in the math and it may indicate problems with the theory

I'm sure he will have an indignant response and I am pretty glad to have put him on ignore

0celo7

I will relegate interesting messages to you.

Slereah

I should add little warnings in this folder for crazy papers

WARNING : WRITTEN BY RONALD MALLETT

0celo7

who he

Slereah

Dr Ronald Mallett sending binary code through time.avi

►

The metric he wrote is actually correct, but his idea of how to put it to experimental test is bananas

There's another dude who wrote a paper about experimental tests for CTCs at the LHC

But he approached it with a much healthier attitude

0celo7

love how he's in a suit

proper way to dress

Slereah

01:34

That was, I suspect heavily : "Maybe this happens somehow? Ahah probably not, I just wanted to write a paper"

Sometimes you just want to write a paper!

0celo7

where are the papers man

Slereah

Uploading

It's a big thing

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19940612/…

0celo7

jesus

frick

it's a .7z

can't open that on OSX :(

Slereah

surely you can

user147690

01:51

@Slereah Do you think Ocelot is overly formal?

Slereah

He doesn't even have a smoking jacket

user147690

Wow really?

ACuriousMind

He insists on wearing suits, though. That classifies as overly formal by my commie hippie standards.

user147690

He wears suits to university or?

ACuriousMind

My mental picture of him does. Not sure how often he actually wears them, you'll have to ask him.

Slereah

01:56

user147690

If someone did that at my university, everyone would call him a fedora haha

Ghost

I imagine him wearing a ballerina tutu to classes

ACuriousMind

@Slereah Nice picture of you

user147690

@Ghost I like it

0celo7

DEBATE TIME

@ACuriousMind spits

Ghost

01:58

a ballerina tutu with the obligatory pocket protector, labcoat and very thick coke-bottle glasses

0celo7

@ACuriousMind in one right now

gotta be professional for the debate

Slereah

@ACuriousMind I wish

That's Christopher Walken

That guy can rock a silk smoking jacket

ACuriousMind

Do you have suitjamas, @0celo7?

@Ghost I guarantee someone out there is into that

Ghost

@ACuriousMind like @0celo7?

Slereah

Hey @ACuriousMind

Do you have

access

wink wink

taps nose

Kyle Kanos

02:07

Meh debates are for the undecideds

Slereah

elbows

ACuriousMind

Is...is that you, @KyleKanos?

3

How are you?

Kyle Kanos

@ACuriousMind Where is who?

@ACuriousMind Overworked but paid well enough that I don't mind. You?

ACuriousMind

@Slereah to what?

0celo7

@KyleKanos hey

Kyle Kanos

02:08

@0celo7 Hi

Slereah

Physical Review D

0celo7

@Slereah skype

ACuriousMind

@KyleKanos Fine, still studying and not being paid ;) (not exactly overworked either)

@Slereah Nope, I can't access APS Journals off-campus.

Slereah

Dang

I hope Sci Hub isn't down for too long

Kyle Kanos

@ACuriousMind Well just think: it took me 6 years to get through grad school & get a job...you've got plenty of time to beat me on length ;)

0celo7

02:11

@ACuriousMind I've got him covered

@KyleKanos I'm undecided.

Kyle Kanos

Aug 18 at 19:00, by 0celo7

everyone says this will be a new era

ACuriousMind

@KyleKanos ...and you also got a wife and kids along the way. But you're right, I'm not in a rush to get anywhere

Kyle Kanos

How's that 5-4 season working out for you so far?

Ghost

So, @0celo7 do you go to class wearing all the scientific apparel? (with or without the tutu?)

Kyle Kanos

@ACuriousMind Yes, also correct

0celo7

02:15

@Ghost My standard outfit is jeans + t-shirt + long sleeve shirt / hoodie

@KyleKanos don't remind me

you're mean

Kyle Kanos

Meanwhile, Clemson be like,

@0celo7 Sorry

One of the other quants on my row graduated from FSU and liked to talk smack about how Clemson sucks & the football playoff committee was crazy for putting Clemson #1

Ghost

@0celo7 and a pocket protector?

Kyle Kanos

I was rather happy when FSU lost big this past Saturday

I think I may be able to pass Brandon in Late Answers queue & get the gold first

0celo7

research gate thinks I'm smart

Kyle Kanos

You are smarter than me

ACuriousMind

02:22

@KyleKanos He got a head start on you today, though ;)

0celo7

@KyleKanos You serious?

I can't solve quadratic equations

Kyle Kanos

@ACuriousMind I have 118 reviews in that queue this month, he has 28. His 5 for the week to my 22.

@0celo7 Neither can I

0celo7

now it thinks I'm a German neurosurgeon

ACuriousMind

...how does one access stats like "X reviews in this month"?

0celo7

> rectal carcinoma

great paper, I must say

well done me

Slereah

02:25

How does it even work when a 16 page theory paper has 6 authors

Kyle Kanos

@ACuriousMind Hover your mouse over the gravitar in the \reveiws page

:D

ACuriousMind

:O

Slereah

Is it one of those PhD comic thing

ACuriousMind

Damn these "hidden" features :D

Slereah

Where they let undergrads do all the work

Oh wait

7 authors

Kyle Kanos

02:26

@ACuriousMind Yeah, that was yet another chance discovery by me. Can't confirm this stuff on Meta.SE b/c I can't access it at work

Slereah

That's like one author for 2 pages

ACuriousMind

Sigh...at my current rate in the Suggested Edit queue, I'll get the gold badge in 2-3 months...

0celo7

holy crap I'm still clicking through R Ungers

Kyle Kanos

I smell a troll; voting to close. — Alfred Centauri 3 hours ago

I got my gold badge for reopens last week

0celo7

@KyleKanos You'll be happy to know I have not trolled since you left.

ACuriousMind

02:29

::coughs::

::coughs again::

Kyle Kanos

Well I did see you get a ban of some sort

ACuriousMind

::falls out of chair, coughing::

0celo7

@KyleKanos A misunderstanding.

Really.

Some of them really were misunderstandings.

@ACuriousMind :o call German 911!

111?

Kyle Kanos

999

0celo7

@KyleKanos srs

what is 111 the emergency thing

ACuriousMind

02:31

112

German emergency is 112. 110 for police.

Kyle Kanos

999 (emergency telephone number)

999 is an official emergency telephone number in a number of countries which allows the caller to contact emergency services for urgent assistance. Countries and territories using 999 include Bahrain, Bangladesh, Botswana, Ghana, Hong Kong, Kenya, Macau, Malaysia, Mauritius, Qatar, Ireland, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Kingdom of Swaziland, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and Zimbabwe. == United Kingdom == 999 is the historic emergency number for the United Kingdom, but calls are also accepted on the European Union emergency number, 112. All calls are answered...

TIL: 112 in the EU

0celo7

in any case

idk what is wrong with ACM

Kyle Kanos

In any case, you trolled & got caught

0celo7

@ACuriousMind you should get that checked out

Slereah

apparently Sci Hub has been down for a week

0celo7

02:33

@KyleKanos To be fair, I never got banned for trolling.

ACuriousMind

Nah, I'm fine.

::lights blunt::

Slereah

torrentfreak.com/…

Oh

I guess that's why

0celo7

shite, research gate wants me to pick a discipline

I don't have one

Kyle Kanos

Better to pick a discipline than a disciple?

ACuriousMind

What are you doing on research gate, anyway?

0celo7

02:35

TRUMP GOING FOR THE IKE DEPORTATION

TanMath

Hello all!

Slereah

"People can also freely use the copyrighted articles for research or educational purposes under the fair use doctrine."

0celo7

@ACuriousMind ...I am a dealer of papers

I need a new supplier

Slereah

Well what am I gonna do with a science paper other than research or education you berks

I mean this sentence literally mean that you can always get them freely

"Under this doctrine, Elsevier’s articles themselves may be taken and used, but only for legitimate purposes"

You heard the judge

You can totally pirate them

ACuriousMind

@Slereah Well...much science that is not of our theoretical kind can be applied to commerical things :P

Slereah

02:37

Who cares for those guys

ACuriousMind

But yeah, stuff like your wormhole papers I don't see much other use for

0celo7

@KyleKanos Can we deport 12 million people?

Kyle Kanos

Sure, why not?

Or are you asking, "Can we actually do it & not just talking point/on paper"

0celo7

@KyleKanos Yes.

Apparently Ike deported a lot of people.

Kyle Kanos

Oh, then no

Slereah

02:38

Oh wait

0celo7

I was wondering how long it would take DJT to bring it up.

Slereah

Sci Hub is still online at one of its address

woo

ACuriousMind

@Slereah It was established some time ago that posting the actual links here is frowned upon by the Powers That Be.

0celo7

...

I just signed up for Research Gate

Said I'm an algebraic geometer

Slereah

Well that's good, because it doesn't seem to work :p

Kyle Kanos

02:39

There's like 10,000 people working with INS, it'd take decades for them to process 12 mil people

Slereah

can't get the paper

what link

0celo7

I know all about quadratic equations

Wow Dr. Zinkle has 265 publications

He's so nice

0celo7

02:52

@dmckee Looking through Research Gate for my profs. Dr. Chvala regularly has 400+ co-authors.

@ACuriousMind wait, why is this so crazy

@ACuriousMind I'm in a research group at a major university.

ACuriousMind

I was to this point not under the impression that ResearchGate was actually an important element in researchers' work. The only time I've ever been given a link to it is by cranks on this site who uploaded their crazy theories there. :P

0celo7

@ACuriousMind orly

@ACuriousMind well I was looking for some crank paper on CTCs for you know who :P

Slereah

Research Gates tends to be the other place people post their papers when they're too good for Arxiv
