So, the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning of it all. Or so says this guy .
Him: “If this is right, it means that time runs forward for a while. Then there’s a random state without an arrow of time, then time runs backwards, and then time runs forward again.”
Sounds like the R train during rush hour. All I know is, if this means I have to re-live high school, I want Turok put under house arrest and his graph paper confiscated . . .
But I doubt there’s anything to it. I mean, just look at him. You know he was the geek with the pocket protector and the taped nose bridge on his glasses who got stuffed into his locker every lunch hour. So he vowed one day to mess with everyone’s head. Another reason not to bully kids. They grow up and spend their day unraveling string theory.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
Make your Fall Campaign gift now using the button below.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Giovanni Del Piero, Director of the Editor’s Circle, at gdelpiero@firstthings.com or 212-627-1985.
