Time travel to the future is possible by slowing time down through time dilation.
Time travel to the future is possible if we slow time down. This is called time dilation and it's a real thing.

The bold line is korrents’ wording; the quote is theirs. These 2: what they wrote before what they said aloud, one per source, newest first.

It does hint at dark energy changing over time, but my money is still on a big freeze (not big rip or Big Crunch).

X has become flooded with toxic anger, aggression and extremism, while Bluesky is like old Twitter.Their words
I did try Mastodon too, which is also full of nice people and none of the toxic anger, resentment, aggression and extremism that seems to be flooding X right now.

The universe will most likely end in a Big Freeze rather than a Big Rip or Big Crunch.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
