Andromeda Paradox / There is no now!

🔥 Skynet News 420 – The Andromeda Paradox: Does Relativity Prove the Future Has Already Happened? 🚀

In this mind-blowing episode of Skynet News 420, we dive deep into the fascinating world of relativity and explore the Andromeda Paradox. Is there really an objective "now," or is the future already set, just depending on how we move? 🤯

💡 What you'll learn in this episode:
✅ Why Einstein’s theory says there is no universal "now"
✅ How your movement changes what’s happening in Andromeda
✅ Does this mean the future has already happened?
✅ The shocking consequences for our understanding of time and reality

Join Lance Blade and Gina Galaxina as they take you on a journey through the mysteries of modern physics! 🎙️✨

The Andromeda Paradox is **not real physics**—it’s a **thought experiment** that abuses relativity to sound profound. Here’s why people keep pushing it, and why it’s wrong:

---

### **1. The Sleight of Hand: Relativity’s "Relative Now"**
- **What Relativity Actually Says:**
- Simultaneity is frame-dependent **only for spacelike-separated events** (things so distant that no signal could connect them).
- **Local events (on Earth, in our galaxy) have an agreed-upon "Now."**

- **The Paradox’s Trick:**
- It **misapplies** this to Andromeda (2.5M light-years away), pretending that:
- Alice and Bob’s tiny velocity difference (~5 km/h) changes "now" for Andromeda.
- This "difference" is physically meaningful (it’s not).

---

### **2. Why People Use Relativity to Defend It**
#### **(A) Intellectual Prestige**
- Invoking relativity makes the paradox sound "deep" and "mind-blowing, " even though it’s **just coordinate games.**

#### **(B) Misunderstanding Causality**
- Many forget that **physics only cares about observable, causal events.**
- The paradox exploits the **unobservable** (Andromeda’s "current" state) to create fake drama.

This is the dumbest shit ive ever heard.

Its almost like the entire planet is fkn dumb
