Big Brother entropy and the ultimate crime solver

Let's imagine that some time in the future some boffins could make a satellite that could be dropped into a worm-hole and flown to any point in space instantly. Or something. Or hyperspace. As long as it can travel faster than light.



Let's gaffer-tape a big 'Makes-Hubble-Look-Something-Sherlock-Holmes-Has-In-His-Back-Pocket' sized telescope on it. Lob this telescope out into various points in space-time to record pictures (maybe movies) Google-Earth-style of the light leaving Earth at various interesting times and places. For example, Dallas City Council multi-purpose Grassy Knoll and Book Depository, 1963. Israel 30AD (Hey, look, you can see the shadows that the crosses make..) Sherwood forest 1300, Kursk 1943 (Panzers and T-34s mid-explosion), your own self playing footy at primary school 1992. Dinosaurs, too. Tectonic plates moving, you name it.

How about it, science?

From Larvtus Prodeo, on the health care debate:

OMG, it looks like more punters havent been paying attention to teh narrative.




And its gold:



‘A Herald reader summed it up best. Anthony Molloy of Bondi Beach wrote to the paper on Thursday that Abbott’s “feigned indignation and lack of anything substantial to put forward suggest he is all smuggle and no budgie”. I wish I had thought of that.’
