This is my blog. I speak for no one but myself here. The words I write, the images I post, and the articles I link to interest no one but me. I stand by what I put here, however, it is not a reflection of time, effort, or particular care. I just want a clearinghouse of what does interest me and a space to spout out poorly written and thoughtout rants. Consider this a disclaimer.

Is the a practical limit to the size of the portal that can be opened and is there a limit to the length of time the event horizon can stay open? (Yes, like a stargate.)

My brother and I had a conversation about @RickandMorty and the technology therein. His argument is that Interdimensional Cable is the best piece of tech. My argument, the right one, is that it is the Portal Gun, through which all things are possible. pic.twitter.com/3hmabcywgY
