Donald Trump said Tuesday that he has ordered his attorneys to conduct a review of Smithsonian museums, calling their portrayal of U.S. history too negative and focused too much on “how bad Slavery was.”

Trump said he would subject the museums to “the exact same process” his administration has conducted of universities, with the goal of making the Smithsonian less “woke.”

    Admittedly, I don’t fully understand how reincarnation is supposed to work… But does it involve time travel?

      Time is just a fourth dimension we can only move one direction in, in this form.
      There are (fictional) stories, like “The Egg” for example, in which God or a god can reincarnate you as anyone in any time.
      In “The Egg” by Andy weir a man is killed in a car accident and reincarnated as a Chinese peasant girl in the 16th century.

      Some interpretations of reincarnation posit that every person that has ever and will ever exist is the actually same being living through a mortal life over and over again. In that system, “time travel” (if you view it that way) would be essential.

      Kurzgesagt did a nice video on the concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6fcK_fRYaI

        I’m fascinated by the similarity between reincarnation and the one-electron universe hypothesis.

        The one-electron universe postulate, proposed by theoretical physicist John Wheeler in a telephone call to Richard Feynman in the spring of 1940, is the hypothesis that all electrons and positrons are actually manifestations of a single entity moving backwards and forwards in time.
