Hi...I go by Fobio. Good to be here...and I thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm a 30-something married banker who's into cars and amateur racing. In my high school years I did well in math and physics but did not pursue that in university. I've always had a interest in science to the point that my friends would call geeky, but IT DON'T MATTER. =)

Anyway, I've always followed science news and tech blogs, and with some of the recent TV programs and developments I see in the physics world, it got me thinking again about the stuff I really cared about inside. Particularly, time being a product of relative speed, current observations of an expanding universe, the variances in the consistency and persistence of space-time, and all the associated buzz around dark matter/energy, mass, and what a lay person like myself undertands of string and m-theory. With regards to time, I'm really interested in different theories on whether it is slowing down or accelerating, on in a certain state of flux...

I look forward to discussing with you smart guys and gals and appreciate in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

Hello Fobio, make yourself right at home, snacks are in the fridge.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
