"Ask Ethan: If The Universe Stops Expanding, Will Time Run Backwards?"

"as far as we can tell, time continues to always march forward at the same rate it always does: one second per second."

There maybe another way to look at speed of time though:
According to Special Relativity, as movement speed of an object in (3D) space increases, its movement speed in time (dimension) decreases & vice versa!
& if an object is not moving thru space then its movement speed thru time (dimension) is equal to speed of light!
So, IMHO, that is the (normal) speed of (flow of) time: speed of light!

I personally think that, even though galaxies get dragged along w/ expansion of Universe, the opposite would not be true!
IMHO, if the expansion stopped & galaxies pulled together (because of gravity), they would not drag along spacetime!
IMHO, Black Holes (no matter how massive), do not have power to drag along and/or pull back in spacetime, either!
(& so, a Big Crunch would only create a single Hyper Massive Black Hole & nothing more!)

Also, I completely agree that arrow of time is not because of entropy increase!
For example, entropy inside a volume (of gas) can be increased/decreased by heating/cooling!
But, would that really mean time inside passing faster/slower? I think the answer is no!

(202101306) AGING & CANCER:
Considering, how human body can stay "young" & healthy for many decades but later somehow it starts decaying/aging, how some people have early aging disease, which makes them look like very old people even when they are children, how true causes of aging seems almost impossible to pinpoint, I think it looks very suspiciously like whole aging process of human body maybe some kind of (very advanced) genetic computer program/software which stays dormant until triggered someday!
(Not to mention, I think there are at least few people known to history who were said to be looked like very young people when they were actually very old!)

I think cancer also seems far beyond "simply cell division going out of control" & actually seems very suspiciously like some kind of (very advanced) genetic computer program/software which stays dormant until triggered someday (& you get a different form of cancer depending on what kind of cell(s) triggered it)!

(Viruses could be also seen as advanced genetic computer software too, no doubt!)

(BTW, I never really/actually had any political party (of) choice/interest, until I had moved to Los Angeles (for about 2.5 years) & eventually had decided to vote/support Democratic Party/President(s)/Presidential-candidate(s) (ONLY!)! (Which lasted for many years, until I had eventually decided both Democratic Party & Republican Party have some views/policies (fully/partially) (un)match/(dis)agree to my personal ones (on/for the same set of political issues/subjects)! (Which is also true for me even when it comes to ANY political party in ANY other country!!))))

(202102092) Ultimate Herbal Medicine:

There are countless known medicinal plants all over the world!
Each medicinal plant helps w/ one or more different (un)known health issues!
Each medicinal plant can be turned into a separate pill but that is highly impractical for many reasons!
It is OK to mix multiple kinds of medicinal plants (unlike most (if not all) artificial/chemical medicines)!
If so then why not try to mix as many as possible known medicinal plant extracts/powders into a single pill?

"Do Objects Get More Massive When They Move Close To The Speed Of Light?"
https://www.patreon.com/posts/do-objects-get-47314772

"The speed of light is constant in a vacuum"

Just some food for thought for anyone interested:

I personally think gravitational lensing is actually caused by light slowingdown passing thru gravitational fields!
& that is because spacetime (superfluid) is denser around massive objects & light waves slowdown when passing thru denser medium!
(Imagine spacetime as an emergent property created by virtual particles of quantum vacuum + QM already says that all real particles are surrounded by a denser cloud of virtual particles!)

(202102103) Maybe LIGO could be used to prove light slowingdown when passing thru gravitatinal field (by bringing a heavy massive object near one of its arms)?

(202102276) What is quantum measurement?
For simplicity, consider a classical computer (Turing Machine) that has just a single bit of state/memory!
& it only supports 2 operations: Read (0 or 1) & Write (0 or 1)!
Is there really anything mysterious about meaning of these 2 operations?

Now consider a quantum computer (Quantum Turing Machine) that has just a single qubit of state/memory!
& it only supports 2 operations: Read & Write!
Realize, now Write operation can write 0 or 1 or U (Unknown/Undetermined)!
& Read operation still reads 0 or 1 & if the state was U then it first causes the state to choose either 0 or 1!
Is there really anything mysterious about meaning of these 2 operations?

Now imagine that our whole reality is a quantum computer that processes real/virtual elementary/composite particle movements/decays/collisions & particles are actually just clusters/registers of qubit/qutrit state data!
(& so, what a quantum measurement actually is just the Read operation of our reality quantum computer!)

UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME

My guess is most working people of humanity are always unhappy w/ their jobs, for many reasons, but have no better choice (for job or source of income)!
"Wage Slavery" is actually one of the biggest problems of humanity!
& like that is not enough, relentless rise of automation/AI/robots is threatening to takeaway most of all available jobs of humanity!

Universal Basic Income (UBI) idea (that is government paying a minimum wage to everybody or jobless people for lifetime) could really be a viable/global/permanent solution?

My guess is paying everybody (instead of only jobless people) would be a really bad idea, because it would easily/quickly lead to price of everything (like rent & food) keep increasing, until that minimum wage is no longer enough for anybody to cover their basic living costs!

(Of course, there maybe always some jobs really needed to be done by some people, but pays low wage!
What if, nobody wants to do those jobs anymore, if they can get a comparable minimum wage w/o working?
I think (local) governments could make an exception for those jobs, so people doing them also get UBI!
(And/or, (non-violent) criminals of (local) prisons could be made (in)voluntarily doing those jobs, in return for reduced sentences!))

But, I think the biggest problem against permanently/globally realizing UBI, is the problem of providing cheap housing (at large/global scale)!
What can be done to permanently/globally solve it?

Imagine (UN?) creating a set of standard building designs, available to all countries/people for absolutely free!
Each big/large/giant building is designed to provide a max number of micro-apartments!
& to be of min construction & maintenance costs & max durability & max strength against earthquakes/storms/fires/floods!
(So, all made of reinforced-concrete?)
(And/or, big/large/giant (stainless) steel skeleton buildings that just provide slots for standard-design shipping container housing units! (Imagine if, such RV-like standard-design housing units produced at large/global scale, to make each cost minimum!))
