However, there are theories that predict the preservation of information from one iteration of a repeating universe to the next. Rodger Penrose has proposed that once the universe expands to the point where measuring distance and scale become impossible, then that state of the universe could be considered a singularity for that reason (absence of scale), and we may be able to detect radiation from a previous iteration of the universe, if that's how it iterates. It's a highly speculative theory, obviously.

An old post I made in a forum back in 1999 when I was 15 years old trying to figure out how special relativity worked... It is interesting coming across old gems of my childhood on the internet.

An interview where I answer some questions over the phone for a reporter with newsday. I was 17 at the time, nad had been in college for about 2 years and started my own company and software project that had exploded. I was on national news at the time like fortune magazine and front page of USA today, even had a bunch of TV interviews.

Reason I wanted to share this one is it is one of the few surviving interviews where I actually answer questions back and forth:

For those of you who cant read the interview/article about me in newsday back when I was 17 years old, here are some screenshots of it instead.

I'm still talking to that HS crush, few days in now. It is so surreal hearing all these stories about me from being a kid partly because you never really remember yourself accurately or all that well at all.

I'm reminded of awkward things I did like never talk to her and didnt really make eye contact with her (which she noticed because she always wanted me to). But other really nice things like she remembers how I was so unusual for being very mature and career driven at only 15/16 years old. She recalled me having a few conversations with teachers where I tried to understand really advanced maths or discuss my career outside of HS.

Anyway this trip down memory lane the last few days has been so enriching. So happy she tracked me down after 22 years :)

Back in 2011 when both Google and Stanford University flew me out to do a few talks on Semantic Data and Machine Learning topics. My how time flys.
