Extreme hypothetical here.

Let's say someone has figured out a way to transmit information into the past from the future. They bide their time, wait for a big win to come along, perhaps in Canada where no tax is taken off the winnings.

Then they get greedy and try to take two wins, maybe three or four. Maybe hand guaranteed winning numbers to family. I assume the extreme improbability of such an event would get someone's attention.

I guess what I'm working up to, is there any sort of protocol in place to attempt to deal with information gained from the future, or for dealing with a time traveler? Would it even be illegal?

Thanks for all your tireless and no doubt aggravating work - your appearances on TV in the 70's and early 80's changed my life for the better.

One thing I always wondered, did you personally know Mister Wizard, AKA Don Herbert?

You might wish to educate yourself on what Atheism actually is before you make such ignorant statements.

Atheism is not a "worldview" it is a lack of something - a belief in a deity. Nothing more. There is a wide spectrum of views among atheists on almost every subject, but lack of belief in a deity is what they all have in common.

An atheist is not free to accept creationism.

There you go again with this imagined top-down hierarchical structure you imagine the path to knowledge to be.

"Free to accept?" It's got nothing to do with freedom. It's about evidence. Empiricism is not democratic. Evidence trumps all else. If there were specific, repeatable, observable evidence of this creator, an atheist would probably accept it.

Apparently those of us with frozen shoulder that's so bad we can't sleep, and can't hold down a job as a result of it, can go fuck ourselves, because reasons. Moral panic! Someone might feel better and become a productive member of society, gotta put a stop to that!
