#Thought #Experiment: What-if multiple stars are the same #star in different #times?
Disregarding our familiar #paradoxes for a moment, if Time Travel is possible, then mightn't it occur in #Nature? And if-then, how could one know? What evidence should we be looking for? Something duplicated: #stars, #galaxies, #quanta, #identicaltwins, #groundhogday, #Castor & #Pollux.

How come we seem to be unable to internally recruit an expert about a topic to join the hiring committee for an open position on exactly that topic?
Another week, another jam - I am working on big serious projects too, I swear. In the meantime I joined #EducationalJam on @itchio with more #paradoxes, wrestling #Twine some more; after #TriJam 296 (placing 9th of 14 entries; for being the only one without cat content for the theme #SchrödingersCat I think I did okay ;): "Arent't too many games like that around" was a great compliment by the host, imo).

Gray's paradox (Zoology 
)
Gray's Paradox is a paradox posed in 1936 by British zoologist Sir James Gray. The paradox was to figure out how dolphins can obtain such high speeds and accelerations with what appears to be a small muscle mass. Gray made an estimate of the power a dolphin could exert based on its physiology, and concluded the power was insufficient to overcome the drag forces...
