BEIJING - Chinese authorities have released a statement today denying that any Olympics are happening in Beijing or any region of China at this time. Zhi Huang, spokesman for the People’s Republic of China, stated Thursday morning during a press conference “While we recognize that the Olympics exist as an event that does happen, there [...]
It’s a new year and that means new fashion! If you are anything like me, this excites you a lot. Not because you are into fashion in the least, but instead you find it absolutely intriguing how some trends catch on. Sometimes it seems like the fashion was most likely a started by a 5 year old kid who forgot to take the sticker off his hat. No other excuse even makes sense. However, I am not here to sound off on current fashion, but instead I will predict for you the new fashions for 2008!
This is hardly breaking news, but as you may or may not know, Pluto is no longer a planet in our solar system. It didn’t disappear, but instead was stripped of its grand title and kicked out of the cool club. Its kind of as if we had a sweet rock band going, lets say [...]
Hi, my name is Mark.

Yeah, Mark.
Recently I’ve noticed this happening more and more, people around here don’t understand my name when I say it. This would make sense if [...]
I’d like to take a moment to discuss a topic that I hold very dearly to my heart. This is a common debate that I find myself not only participating in often with others, but even more often with myself. That is the debate of abortion. Life vs. Choice. Before jumping [...]
Christmas is just around the corner, and that means that one of these days (not today or tomorrow, but soon) you will have to go get your christmas shopping done. I’ve prepared a gift guide for you to help out with this often difficult process. I’ve taken a look at the Amazon Top [...]
I have the window seat at work. We are in a long skinny basement office, so only I have direct view out the window. Yesterday I became the weather man, announcing various conditions. It went from rain, to snow, to hail, to sleet, to freezing rain, to rain, and back to snow. [...]
As a man of science, I follow a strict regimen when conducting sciency things. The formula used, the process I follow is ‘The Scientific Method’. You may be thinking “Mark, we learned the scientific method in sixth grade”. Well unfortunately what you think you know of science is wrong. That [...]
As most of you know, I’ve been traveling around quite a bit for the past few years. Moving onto bigger and better things almost on a yearly basis. Now that I have reached New York City, I’m left deciding what is next. Is this the final target? Time to settle down [...]

Lets say that instead of having memory of the past, we only had memory of the future. Everything that happened in the past immediately becomes unknown, however we know what happens in the future.
Now I know you are thinking, “Ok, that’s a pretty simple concept. Makes complete sense.” But you are wrong. Dead wrong. In fact it doesn’t make much sense at all.
You see, if you know what happens in the future as well as being aware of what is happening in the present your future awareness gains knowledge of the present. But in the future you don’t have memory of the past (which is the present). The concept is broken.
As well you wouldn’t know what you are doing at any point in time because you don’t have any memory of what you were doing just a moment earlier, however you can still accomplish it because your knowledge of the future allows you to know the end goal. Even though your future awareness won’t know how or why you got to that goal.
Luckily time is a completely ambiguous quantity that we only use to explain something we don’t truly understand. Is there a past? Is there a future? Am I here to teach you the moral of living in the present because the past and future don’t exist? No. I am here to tell you that I just invented a fucking time machine.
Awesome.
