Guilt Free Time Travel, Farming Simulator League & The Conway Solution to Comics


Listen Later

A UQ student has shown that paradox free time travel is technically possible. Dr Fabio Costa and Germain Tobar have published a paper showing how the universe will reprogram itself to account for a time traveller's actions. In other words, whatever action you take, the universe will find a way of making sure that in the end, the same results occur. So much for killing Hitler, then.


You've heard about simulator racing leagues, but get ready for the Farming Simulator league. Real world equipment manufacturers are sponsoring teams to compete in the GIANTS software Farming Simulator League. This league started a few years ago but is already spreading around the world. But if you want to compete, you'd better make hay while the sun shines and start training now.


The creator of the Punisher comics has gone to war against mass produced super hero stories. Wiping out a beloved franchise isn't as popular as killing bad guys, but Gerry Conway thinks this is the best way to save the industry. Is there a point to saving the industry though? DJ thinks so.


Join us next week for more news from the kind of people who want more weird gaming leagues.

Causal Loop (a theoretical proposition in which, by means of either retrocausality or time travel, a sequence of events (actions, information, objects, people) is among the causes of another event, which is in turn among the causes of the first-mentioned event.)
