The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.

@violetmadder @shironeko @karolherbst Just as #StephenHawking said in his last public appearance, plus OFC the fact that a #PostCapitalist society would be a more equal.
#NoBillionaires and #NoMillionaires, but everyone having access to whatever they could want...
"No one created the universe and no one directs our fate. This leads me to a profound realization. There is probably no heaven and no afterlife either. We have this one life to appreciate the grand design of the universe and for that I am extremely grateful."
Stephen Hawking
The #KrononautMoon Project is an ongoing series of community experiments to contact #TimeTravelers — as "in-person", but more likely via #quantum #signal. The next attempt is coming up soon on 14 Mar 2025 — under the #TotalLunarEclipse — wherever you are. These outreaches are sometimes referred to as "landing receptions", but call them or redesign them however you like. Following is a brief, all-true #chronology of such #events, going back 40+ years. The excerpt is from our detailed #article on Medium.com.
❛❛ #Future #intelligences would have the necessary transport #technology that is not yet existent in our #world. To date, there have been 5 recorded attempts of this method, with the most famous one devised by the late #theoretical #physicist #StephenHawking, in #Cambridge #UK on 2009 Jun 28.
Hawking referred to his get-together as a “reception”—what we now think of as a version type 1.0. His champagne toast to “tourists from the future” was, by no means, not the first of the prototypes, however, because it was staged years after 3 similar experimental attempts — stationed in different #countries and unrelated to each other. The professor’s cheeky soirée occurred four years after a rollicking party that was thrown for “Inhabitants of the Future” at Forrest Place, #Perth #AU, on 2005 Mar 31. Then, a few months later, an equally festive #TimeTraveler #Convention was hosted at #MIT — The #Massachusetts Institute of Technology, #Cambridge #MA #US, on 2005 May 07. These elaborate productions were preceded by a full two decades, back when a group identifying itself as the #Krononauts assembled in #Baltimore #MD #US (alt. spelling: #Chrononauts). That seminal event, which was covered by a #NewYorkTimes reporter, happened at a downtown #bookstore, under the light of a #FullMoon, and a multi-planetary #syzygy, on 1982 Mar 09.
More recently, in the spring of 2023, a dogged #podcaster for TheLastArchive.com and Pushkin.fm, published a riveting and droll #audio recounting of Baltimore’s Krononauts gathering, and then gave the concept a uniquely personal #experimental spin, noting the time and #GPS #coordinates. The effort successfully demonstrated that a single individual can attempt extra-temporal #contact on one’s own, equipped with little more than a #public #library #bench, and can meaningfully contribute to the corpus of #Community #Time #Travel #Research. ❜❜
On 2025 Mar 14, join your #friends, fellow #Mastodonians, and #TimeTravelers for an evening of #peace, #love, and #cosmic #tranquility, wherever you are.

#StephenHawking's #Chronology #Protection #Conjecture
In this 3-min clip, theoretical physicist Brian Greene explains how physics may prevent Time Travel to the past — known as #retrograde — and says that #Hawking's "protection" conjecture is supported by #mathematics.

#StephenHawking #quotes
I was watching videos about #StephenHawking earlier. Now I'm wondering, what exactly is #time? As a totally #blind person, I want to understand abstract concepts like this but they are usually buried in a complex formula I can't understand or in a graphic I can't see. Therefore I'm curious if there is a #scientific definition of time?
P.S. I'm sorry if anyone's brain just exploded?
