f7d9395c_atings_and_reviews___Gwern_net__Review | [Title] No Country for Old Men [Author] Cormac McCarthy [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 2006 [Read] 2012/08/28 [Review] | Somehow a disappointment, especially compared with Blood Meridian. It has some fantastic moments & writing (eg. Chigurh’s first coin toss), but wrapped in a plot which feels simplistic, cheap, linear, and video game-like; I thought at one moment that it was no surprise that it made what was apparently a great movie, since it read like a screenplay version of the real novel. Harold Bloom mentioned that the apocalypticism was a flaw, and here I would agree: it’s a flaw I’ve also seen surface in Gene Wolfe, and which tarnishes the stories or novels which take up a crude - dare I say, conservative? - sort of jeremiad against these fallen latter days. | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |
f7d9395c_atings_and_reviews___Gwern_net__Review | [Title] The Rapture of the Nerds: A tale of the singularity, posthumanity, and awkward social situations [Author] Cory Doctorow [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 2012 [Review] | A mixed bag. A third of the way through, I was ready for 2 stars, and reading only because I remembered the preview as being pretty good; it was reading like the worst parts of Doctorow crossed with cutting-floor scraps from Stross’s Accelerando (general advice: if you haven’t read Accelerando yet, I strongly strongly recommend it over Rapture of the Nerds). After suffering through the crap of the first half, I finally get to the real story (recommendation: C-f to “It’s the Singularity!” if you want to save yourself the grief). This is pretty fun and decent, although the judge scenario is far from new. | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |
f7d9395c_atings_and_reviews___Gwern_net__Review | [Title] Chinese History in Economic Perspective [Author] Thomas G. Rawski [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 1992 [Read] 2012/09/08 [Review] | Fairly technical, largely not of interest to non-specialists. Some of the papers captured my interest: the demographic analysis revealing very high infanticide rates and mortality patterns of females was quite interesting, and some of the papers revealed a better integrated and more sophisticated Chinese market economy than I had expected, with less income inequality or dysfunctionality than one gets the picture of when reading of pre-WWII warlordism and civil war. (I read the online version.) | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |
f7d9395c_atings_and_reviews___Gwern_net__Review | [Title] The Wallet of Kai Lung (Kai Lung #1) [Author] Ernest Bramah [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 2002 [Read] 2013/07/19 [Review] | One reads this for the language on display by Bramah: the absurd sustained Latinate circumlocutions which forever perendinate and cunctate on expressing their simple sense. As far as that goes, it’s quite an interesting exercise and the source of a number of parodic versions of China/Japan, I suspect. I am not sure how many people are up to a entire sustained anthology of this, though: the stories are relatively flimsy and one can drown in the prose while losing track utterly of the plot and personages, which certainly is not calculated to create charm nor cheer in the consumer. | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |
f7d9395c_atings_and_reviews___Gwern_net__Review | [Title] Portfolios of the Poor: How the World’s Poor Live on $2 a Day [Author] Daryl Collins [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 2009 [Read] 2012/12/10 [Review] | The first 2 or 3 chapters are very interesting and enlightening on the risk borne by the poor and how they do their best to cope; however, the rest is generally repetitive and shows the same data in somewhat different ways and countries, and become boring quickly - making this one of the padded books which would’ve been a better read as a longform article or essay. (One exception is the discussion of APRs and how the loans actually are done which renders them far less usurious.) Ironically, the appendices were more interesting than many of the narratives in the later chapters. | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |
f7d9395c_atings_and_reviews___Gwern_net__Review | [Title] A Random Walk Down Wall Street [Author] Burton G. Malkiel [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 2004 [Review] | It’s hard to believe at this point that Malkiel’s views on the desirability of indexing and not trading and the basic truth of the efficient market hypothesis were ever controversial or not conventional wisdom (the 1 and 2 star reviews here notwithstanding… how many geniuses like Peter Thiel blew up betting against Treasuries in the past few years, guys? Efficient markets FTW.), but nevertheless, he was a pioneer. I didn’t wind up learning too much from this since it’s targeted at beginners, but that is not its fault and the advice is generally sound. | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |
f7d9395c_atings_and_reviews___Gwern_net__Review | [Title] Kim [Author] Rudyard Kipling [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 1981 [Review] | Though it’s one of his most famous, I found it hard to like. It’s laden in Orientalism, picaresque almost to a fault, the Buddhism is a little laughable for all that it might have been state of the art in the 1800s (although less laughable than the ornate antique language forced on every character), and the plot is a bit of a trainwreck with endless pages lavished on Kim growing up only to abruptly end in a short theft of documents and an equally abrupt and unsatisfying finish to the religious quest that previously drove events. | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |
f7d9395c_atings_and_reviews___Gwern_net__Review | [Title] Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age [Author] Clay Shirky [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 2010 [Read] 2012/10/03 [Review] | Short, fluffy - an attempt to expand on what is a pretty short idea at core. If you read or watched any of his previous talks like “GIN, TELEVISION, AND COGNITIVE SURPLUS” and have followed some of his other writings, there’s little new here for you. One advantage of being in book form is that he includes his references. | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |
f7d9395c_atings_and_reviews___Gwern_net__Review | [Title] Everything Bad is Good for You [Author] Steven Johnson [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 2006 [Read] 2011/11/03 [Review] | I thought it was very short and not in depth at all; yeah, his handful of graphs of episodes was interesting from the data visualization viewpoint, but most of his arguments, such as they were, were qualitative and hand-wavey. (What, there are no simplistic shows these days?) The best I can say is: the thesis is not obviously impossible or wrong a priori, but needs a heck of a lot more empirical backing. | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |
f7d9395c_atings_and_reviews___Gwern_net__Review | [Title] Spice and Wolf, Vol. 1 [Author] Isuna Hasekura [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 2009 [Read] 2013/07/28 [Review] | I’m afraid this suffers badly in comparison with the anime: Hasekura isn’t nearly as good at conveying Lawrence & Holo’s interactions as good animators + good seiyuu, and really, that’s the heart of the story. If you can’t get that perfect, then there’s not much to it, and the irritating aspects of light novels come to the fore (very short, sketchy chapters, endings that feel almost rushed, etc). | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |

Not bad, but more than enough dated at this point (finished in 2004 and most of it is more relevant to before then) that I’m not sure how much is worth reading. The CLI material is as worthwhile as ever, but the GUI parts are totally obsolete. The case studies are also rather too brief. | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |

Charlton [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 2000 [Read] 2012/10/23 [Review] | Not really sure what to make of it; it has interesting ideas but so broad that one has no idea if they’re right or if Charlton is hiding fatal evidence (he doesn’t have the best reputation these days, and this book way back when wasn’t received with acclamations), and one would have to be an expert oneself to know whether Charlton is putting the pieces together in a licit way. | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |
f7d9395c_atings_and_reviews___Gwern_net__Review | [Title] The Chicago World’s Fair of 1893: A Photographic Record [Author] Stanley Appelbaum [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 1980 [Read] 2013/08/07 [Review] | As the other reviews say: worth it for the photographs, not so much the commentary. Some might be a little disappointed by the focus on the neo-classical prestige buildings and not parts us moderns would find of vastly more interest, like the first Ferris wheel, the first Japanese building in the US, Wild Bill’s show, etc, but it’s still much better than nothing. | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |
f7d9395c_atings_and_reviews___Gwern_net__Review | [Title] Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error [Author] Kathryn Schulz [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 2010 [Review] | Touched on a lot of the standard points and citations you’d see somewhere in skeptical literature like LessWrong, but in a very much fuzzier humanities sort of way. Couldn’t really recommend it unless you’re the sort of person who has never heard of Tetlock or Quine or the studies on eyewitness fallibility or read their Kahneman etc - for beginners only. | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |

Valente [Rating] ★★★ [Year] 2011 [Read] 2012/01/01 [Review] | Read this on Cosma Shalizi’s recommendation. While the writer is clearly skilled, the style grates and the story leaves me cold: the only fairy tale that really spoke to me was Turing’s (but turning his life into a fairy tale, given his death, is almost cheating). | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |

All in all, though, I think Mechner’s The Making of Prince of Persia is a better read if you’re not specifically interested in R-Type. | [] | Ratings and reviews - Gwern.net | Review | http://www.gwern.net/Book%20reviews | 4/1438042982502.13_20150728002302-00293-ip-10-236-191-2_475259833_0.json |

Most of it wasn’t worth reading, and extremely suspiciously sophisticated and likely written by Chamberlain, which reduces the novelty value.

9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] When Hiro seems on the verge of saving Charlie and thus causing a causality paradox, he returns unexpectedly to the present. (Six Months Ago) In the novel Saving Charlie, Hiro makes several attempts over a six month period (though much longer for him) to try and put Charlie out of harm's way. These attempts, along with his first few attempts at intimacy with Charlie, result in Hiro teleporting someplace else relevant to his "destined" mission (i.e. saving Claire), such as the morgue where James Walker's body is being stored. [Notes] + Hiro's forced return to present-day Japan and inability to use his powers to go back and make further attempts to save Charlie Andrews suggest that something is blocking his ability to go back to that specific point in space. + Also, Future Hiro has to get someone else to go back to present-day Odessa to save Claire rather than taking matters into his own hands, perhaps due to his inability to return to that point in space and time due to a rift his past self created. - If this were true, then Hiro shouldn't have been able to change the events of the explosion, because Future Hiro wouldn't have come back and told Peter to save the cheerleader. • If this is true, then it could be the same cosmic authority that controls Hiro's "accidental" time travel, in Genesis, Five Years Gone, and How to Stop an Exploding Man. Perhaps the authority is not simply keeping Hiro from causing paradoxes, but actually making sure he goes where he needs to go. • This "cosmic authority" could be the writers. - Hiro eventually did save Charlie's life (Once Upon a Time in Texas). • This once again hints that the "cosmic authority" are indeed the writers. [Theory] | There is some kind of higher-power/cosmic authority that prevents Hiro from creating paradoxes. | [] | Theory:Space-time manipulation - Heroes Wiki | Theory | http://heroeswiki.com/Theory:Space-time_manipulation | 2/1438042981856.5_20150728002301-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_115788192_2.json |
9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] Hiro's trip to the past appears to have actually changed past events from his perspective. (Six Months Ago) [Notes] + If Hiro's trip to the past to try and save Charlie were meant to have happened, then all of his former co-workers at the diner (to say nothing of Charlie herself) should have recognized Hiro when he came into the diner for the first time, six months after he had been working there. + From a writing stand-point, it doesn't make sense for Hiro and Isaac to have the powers that they do if they cannot use those powers to change future events. • However, although some events can be changed, it seems that others (such as Charlie's death at the hands of Sylar) are immutable. - But that changed, initially she was killed by Sylar, after Hiro went back in time, she refused to go to Japan because she had an inoperable aneurysm in her brain. He could change how she died, because that was the only reason for him going back in time. + Future Hiro's trip to the past allowed Claire to live five years longer following Sylar's first attempt to kill her. This shows that the timestream can be altered. (Five Years Gone) [Theory] | There is no predestination in the world of Heroes. | [] | Theory:Space-time manipulation - Heroes Wiki | Theory | http://heroeswiki.com/Theory:Space-time_manipulation | 2/1438042981856.5_20150728002301-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_115788192_2.json |
9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] Future Hiro traveled back to talk to Peter to tell him what to do to save Claire. (Hiros) He must have figured that Peter, who could copy his power, would remain immune to the affects of any paradox Future Hiro caused by going back in time to deliver the warning. Hiro's memories of what the explosion future was like before he went to talk to Peter remained unchanged, though some details about the past did change. (Five Years Gone) [Notes] + This would explain why Future Hiro needed to find an exact point to talk to Peter, before they "met for the first time" in the Dark Future. + It would also explain why he chose Peter - who he knew would gain his power and become similarly immune to the effects of paradox. + It would also explain why Sylar, disguised as Nathan, would be so insistent on killing Hiro - especially after it was confirmed to him that Hiro could travel through time. [Theory] | A person with the power of space-time manipulation cannot have their memories altered by a change in their own personal timeline. In short, they are immune to the effects of a paradox changing time and if a person changes the past, their own memories of what things were like before the change will remain unaltered. The one exception to this is if they die in another time. | [] | Theory:Space-time manipulation - Heroes Wiki | Theory | http://heroeswiki.com/Theory:Space-time_manipulation | 2/1438042981856.5_20150728002301-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_115788192_2.json |
9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] Since a traveler from the future cannot change the past in a way that would prevent him going to the past to change it, Hiro found it necessary to imbue one in the present with the knowledge that could change that. [Notes] + Hiro is at least somewhat free of normal space/time continuum rules. But not completely. By learning of the future and then going back to his original time, Hiro retained free will and can now actively work to change to future. + This helps with the "rift" problem that Hiro alluded to with Peter. By traveling to Peter and Hiro exclusively, beings who possessed his power and by extension his immunity to the "rules", he was able to change the future and quite possibly, eradicate his existence. Because the past Hiro knew of the future, the knowledge remained in place even without the Future Hiro having to necessarily exist. [Theory] | Future Hiro could only change the timeline by warning his past self. | [] | Theory:Space-time manipulation - Heroes Wiki | Theory | http://heroeswiki.com/Theory:Space-time_manipulation | 2/1438042981856.5_20150728002301-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_115788192_2.json |
9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] None [Notes] - Bodily aging is caused by physical degradation of the body over time, not time itself. + If the user had full control over his power, he or she could reverse time on their bodies (making themselves physically younger), whilst keeping it still on their minds, to retain their memories and identity. [Theory] | Theoretically, if Hiro can bend space and time, he could make himself look younger, physically become younger and make himself invisible. | [] | Theory:Space-time manipulation - Heroes Wiki | Theory | http://heroeswiki.com/Theory:Space-time_manipulation | 2/1438042981856.5_20150728002301-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_115788192_2.json |
9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] None [Notes] + Time and space are both dimensions, the first three being space, and the fourth being time. + Noah Bennet said that all the evolved humans with whom the Company has come in contact have only had one power each. + It would seem that Hiro's space-time manipulation is different from ether time travel or teleportation. His power moves both these forces around himself, where as a time traveler would move through time, and a teleporter through space. - Future Mohinder explained to a skeptical Future Parkman that Hiro could time travel. "Hiro Nakamura can stop time, teleport by folding space, theoretically he can fold time as well". Hiro does not move through space when he teleports, space folds so that his location and the location he wants to be become the same place for a moment. If a time traveler moved "through" time instead of folding it, it would seem like they would then have to age however they would have if they had naturally aged to whatever point in time they went to. [Theory] | Space-time manipulation is actually the power to manipulate dimensions around oneself. | [] | Theory:Space-time manipulation - Heroes Wiki | Theory | http://heroeswiki.com/Theory:Space-time_manipulation | 2/1438042981856.5_20150728002301-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_115788192_2.json |
9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] None [Notes] + When Charlie was killed, if Hiro rewound the time, he would be there to prevent it. + It appears that Hiro can rewind time around localized objects such as a clock or a bullet fired at him. [Theory] | If Hiro actually rewound time rather than teleporting, he would be able to change the past. | [] | Theory:Space-time manipulation - Heroes Wiki | Theory | http://heroeswiki.com/Theory:Space-time_manipulation | 2/1438042981856.5_20150728002301-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_115788192_2.json |
9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] None [Notes] • A space-time manipulator can possibly move from one location to another without teleporting, but rather moving themselves all the way. - It's redundant to make the effort to fly when you can teleport. - The ability can't propel its user the same way as flight. + Says who? In Volume Three we saw a new trick - sending someone elsewhere without teleporting oneself to that location. Now that there are no more people with this ability, we can't discover other secrets it may keep, yet it's possible there are. - It was still teleporting, Matt didn't fly from America to Africa, dimensions were manipulated to send him there. - Since the user of the ability isn't frozen by it, it wouldn't work, since gravity would still affect the user. + What does gravity have to do with bending space? - Gravity is related to time because it affects the speed motion of things, and since time is related to space, so is gravity. • By that logic, gravity should be slowed down to a near halt when time is stopped. • It could have a selective effect, depending if the person is frozen in time, or if the person is the one freezing time. + If time and space can be bent, so can gravity, and a space-time manipulator may still perform flight. • We never saw a space-time manipulator who fell in a frozen time, so we can't be sure about gravity. - Yes, we can - the time does not stop completely, it slows down. + In season one, Hiro moved a bullet back through time by itself, not teleported. It stands to reason that something can be moved through space by the same ability • Hiro was actually reversing time when Hope shot him. • If this can manipulate time, fold time and space, it should manipulate space this would include gravity and dimensions. That could affect flight, gravitional manipulation, telekineticaly when the user move things. [Theory] | Since this ability allows user to bend space, they can perform flight. | [] | Theory:Space-time manipulation - Heroes Wiki | Theory | http://heroeswiki.com/Theory:Space-time_manipulation | 2/1438042981856.5_20150728002301-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_115788192_2.json |
9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] None [Notes] + Hiro teleports directly from Tokyo to New York City. The speed of the ground in New York City would be roughly 55 miles per hour faster relative to Tokyo, but Hiro emerges stationary. • The different in speed is due to the fact that Tokyo is further north than New York City, which means the circumference it travels is smaller in the same time period, which means it rotates faster. [Theory] | Hiro can control the speed and direction at the destination of whatever he teleports. | [] | Theory:Space-time manipulation - Heroes Wiki | Theory | http://heroeswiki.com/Theory:Space-time_manipulation | 2/1438042981856.5_20150728002301-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_115788192_2.json |
9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] It was confirmed that when Hiro freezes time, it doesn't really stop, Hiro just slows it to a near halt. [Notes] + Logically, by accelerating time, Hiro would become very slow and effectively freeze. • If Hiro accelerates time for himself to the point where the entire world appears to be frozen, it's possible that he could do the opposite; slow down time for himself until he appears to be frozen to the rest of the world. [Theory] | Hiro becomes frozen in time, because he (unwillingly) accelerates it very much. | [] | Theory:Space-time manipulation - Heroes Wiki | Theory | http://heroeswiki.com/Theory:Space-time_manipulation | 2/1438042981856.5_20150728002301-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_115788192_2.json |
9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] Arnold died of a tumor and Hiro has been diagnosed with one. [Notes] • Samuel states that "his [Arnold's] body couldn't take the strain". (Once Upon a Time in Texas) - Arnold was murdered by Samuel. (Bloodlines, Part 2) - Hiro got the tumor before he could time travel again. - Masi Oka said in an interview that Hiro got the tumor because he took others into frozen time, which overloaded his brain. • Maybe Arnold also did that. • Neither Arthur Petrelli nor Peter Petrelli showed signs of a tumor, and Future Hiro seemed perfectly healthy. This could be because neither Arthur nor Peter used time traveling as extensively as Hiro. [Theory] | Travel through time eventually causes a fatal brain tumor. | [] | Theory:Space-time manipulation - Heroes Wiki | Theory | http://heroeswiki.com/Theory:Space-time_manipulation | 2/1438042981856.5_20150728002301-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_115788192_2.json |
9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] None [Notes] + It would take an absurd amount of power to stop time for the entire earth, but it wouldn't take nearly as much to speed time up for the user, which would essentially achieve the same effect. + Daphne could move when Hiro froze time. She suggested Hiro only slows it, and it was confirmed by BTE. - However, BTE also said this happens everywhere. The entire world freezes when Hiro uses his ability. + If he sped up time around him enough, for all intents and purposes he would have "frozen" time all over the world, if he perceived himself to be moving at a normal speed. + In a blog post Hiro (when explaining why in Godsend he appeared to be only slowing down time as opposed to stopping it) says, "Instead of Stop, I casted Haste". The term "Haste" implies that time was accelerated, not slowed down. • "Haste" is the name of a magic spell found in many fantasy role playing games, which allows the target of the spell to move faster. This would of course mean that this person would perceive the world around him in slow motion. [Theory] | "Freezing" time doesn't stop time for the entire world, but speeds time up for the user until the point where they're moving so fast the entire world appears to have stopped around them. | [] | Theory:Space-time manipulation - Heroes Wiki | Theory | http://heroeswiki.com/Theory:Space-time_manipulation | 2/1438042981856.5_20150728002301-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_115788192_2.json |
9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] None [Notes] + With telekinesis, one can have a grasp over people and objects without physical contact. + It can also affect many targets at once. - Ability wouldn't extend if its holder doesn't touch another person. [Theory] | If a person possesses both space-time manipulation and telekinesis, they'd be able to teleport other people without physical contact. | [] | Theory:Space-time manipulation - Heroes Wiki | Theory | http://heroeswiki.com/Theory:Space-time_manipulation | 2/1438042981856.5_20150728002301-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_115788192_2.json |
9e7742db_ime_manipulation___Heroes_Wiki__Theory | [Citations] None [Notes] + It is impossible for a person to exist in the same timeline as their future or past self, yet both Peter and Hiro have existed with their future selves in the same timeline. Without space-time manipulation, if someone were to somehow travel through time, the version of them from that timeline and all of their decendants up to that point would disappear because they would then exist at that timeline instead of their original timeline.

70c113ef___RevolutionSF_Contests__Long_Version | [Rating] 10/10 [Short Version] The Wrath of Khan [Long Version] | A masterpiece. One for the ages. If you miss this, your "Knows what the filk he/she's talking about" card will be revoked. If you don't like this, there is something wrong with you. | [] | : RevolutionSF Contests | Long Version | http://www.revolutionsf.com/ratings.php | 41/1438042989510.73_20150728002309-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_676476255_3.json |
70c113ef___RevolutionSF_Contests__Long_Version | [Rating] 9 [Short Version] The Voyage Home [Long Version] | Bloody damn good. You should own it — right now. There are a couple of things to quibble over, but the whole thing is excellent enough that it doesn't matter. So just let it go. | [] | : RevolutionSF Contests | Long Version | http://www.revolutionsf.com/ratings.php | 41/1438042989510.73_20150728002309-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_676476255_3.json |
70c113ef___RevolutionSF_Contests__Long_Version | [Rating] 8 [Short Version] First Contact [Long Version] | Very enjoyable. It doesn't achieve the dizzying heights of a 9 or a 10, but overall does what it does quite well. | [] | : RevolutionSF Contests | Long Version | http://www.revolutionsf.com/ratings.php | 41/1438042989510.73_20150728002309-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_676476255_3.json |
70c113ef___RevolutionSF_Contests__Long_Version | [Rating] 7 [Short Version] The Undiscovered Country [Long Version] | Solid entertainment. Worth giving a shot. It won't be the best thing you ever see / read / play, but those things are rare. You'll like this just fine. | [] | : RevolutionSF Contests | Long Version | http://www.revolutionsf.com/ratings.php | 41/1438042989510.73_20150728002309-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_676476255_3.json |
70c113ef___RevolutionSF_Contests__Long_Version | [Rating] 6 [Short Version] Generations [Long Version] | This one is like a failing student who did his best, or a good student who didn't bother to study. Calling this "kind of OK" is being nice; calling it a disappointment is being honest. | [] | : RevolutionSF Contests | Long Version | http://www.revolutionsf.com/ratings.php | 41/1438042989510.73_20150728002309-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_676476255_3.json |
70c113ef___RevolutionSF_Contests__Long_Version | [Rating] 5 [Short Version] The Search for Spock [Long Version] | Uninspired. This punches the clock. It's not outright terrible, but it's certainly nowhere near great. | [] | : RevolutionSF Contests | Long Version | http://www.revolutionsf.com/ratings.php | 41/1438042989510.73_20150728002309-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_676476255_3.json |
70c113ef___RevolutionSF_Contests__Long_Version | [Rating] 4 [Short Version] Nemesis [Long Version] | You won't much give a flip about this, and it's obvious that its creators didn't, either. Maybe there's a germ of a good idea here, or perhaps one (ONE) of the performers did an OK job. But that doesn't save it. Forgettable, thankfully. | [] | : RevolutionSF Contests | Long Version | http://www.revolutionsf.com/ratings.php | 41/1438042989510.73_20150728002309-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_676476255_3.json |
70c113ef___RevolutionSF_Contests__Long_Version | [Rating] 3 [Short Version] The Final Frontier [Long Version] | From here down, you'll need to tell people in detail about how bad it is, because the irritating details of it will all stick with you, you poor bastard. | [] | : RevolutionSF Contests | Long Version | http://www.revolutionsf.com/ratings.php | 41/1438042989510.73_20150728002309-00117-ip-10-236-191-2_676476255_3.json |
