Violating laws of nature
November 8th, 2009
XKCD has a great suggestion on how to violate laws of nature (causality) by violating laws of society (murder):
But I feel that he’s asking the wrong question here: “How many siblings do you have?” The question he should really be asking isn’t how many siblings. It’s whether this phenomena is limited only to siblings, or whether it’ll work with other close relatives or friends. It would be a scientific bonanza if this phenomenon can be reproduced with friends—siblings and relatives you eventually run out of, but friends, well, if you do run out of friends, you can always make more.
