Since when is Isaac Asimov's Sci-Fi authorship in any manner make his substantive point here "tin-foilish"???? It turns out in his particular insight here he was dead-on. A lot of REAL scientists both read...and write Sci-Fi. Jerry Pournelle is another example of such, and an illustrious pantheon could be adduced if you take a look.
So what the heck ARE you smoking? And what is the big deal about four days, are you only into real-time? An "existential" ErnBatavia?
