I assume it was either a psychopath or a scientist.

And neither did he.

People adapt. The same type of thing was probably said back then. Everybody thinks everybody is bitches, until you back them into a corner. Sure, it will suck, it will change everyone; but you are a damn fool.

I'll admit that I am lacking in general knowledge. Outside of biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, electronics and maths, my knowledge is paltry and laughably inept.

I think that any true scientist should have multiple varied fields in which they have expert knowledge.

You should read both Flatland and Flatterland. It will get you emotional about geometry.

Astrophysics and cosmology are my guilty pleasure studies.

Ya'll should study molecular biology, if you want to see some real trippy shit about life.

Actually, one could achieve time travel while remaining perfectly stationary in space. At light speed, an object is moving only through space and not in time, therefore does not experience any time: to a photon's perspective (if it could have one), it is everywhere its trajectory would take it, simultaneously. As a corollary, one could imagine an object that traverses only through time and not through space. However, our current best theoretical approach to specifically retrograde time travel is achieving a velocity faster than the natural velocity of light with respect to a vacuum. That doesn't mean it is the only way to time travel, or even the most feasible way.

I have started so many books. I just lack the discipline to finish any of them, since I have to write so much for my job. I think at least 20% of them have some real potential.

Yes. The main cause of death from cocaine use is heart attack or stroke. Cocaine stimulates neurotransmitters which result in the constriction of blood vessels, raising blood pressure and heart rate. Since dolphins are generally more massive than humans, and they are designed to sustain higher blood pressures (and greater variances in blood pressure) in order to dive, it would take much more cocaine to kill a typical dolphin than a typical person.
