So i had yo switch hotels as there was no easy access yo the deep ocean at my last one. Slippery rocks made it impossible to get in safely. Anyway at a new hotel and got 15 minutes if open ocean swimming in before the sun went down and the life guard yelled at me. Still had a lot of fun. I plan to be in the ocean all day tomorrow. Tonight im gonna be lazy and get some seafood room service.

The sea here in egypt is a bit of a mixed bag. The water was more than warm enough to enjoy, so thats nice. Also the outside is fairly warm at 27C / 80F and above. The problem is there is a constant fairly significant wind with no breaks and as result a decent current. You have to constantly exert effort to stay still and are fairly cold coming out of the water. Should be ok for scuba though.

The other problem is the beach is rocky and slippery, very dangerous with my back. My hope is ill find a better point to enter next time. I need a day more to recover from my travels before ive recovered enough to attempt a proper dive too

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.
