I keep seeing people grieving their pups. I'm a programmer who lost his two dogs, so I built something that might help (no, I’m not selling you anything)

Wait 5 sec.

Hi, I'm not a bot or a marketer, in fact I'm a mod over at r/national_pet_adoption where I and our thousands of members try our best to help shelter pups find homes. I spend a lot of time on dog subreddits, and I keep seeing people going through the same grief I went through when I lost PJ and Austin. After losing them, I couldn't stop thinking about something Einstein wrote in a letter after his best friend died: "For us believing physicists, the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." There's a real concept in physics called the block universe: the idea that time is a dimension just like space. The past doesn't disappear. It's still there. Your dog isn't gone. They're just somewhere else in the block. It’s actually more than just an idea: it comes straight out of Einstein’s relativity and he himself said this is what reality is like. I wanted to actually see that, so I built a free site that visualizes it. There's no email signup, no account, no paywall. There's a tiny support link in the footer there: if you like this and think it could help people I'd greatly appreciate if you'd support me running this but it is totally optional and up to you. I just built this to try and help you realize that your furbaby still very much exists. And always will. If you're in the thick of it right now: I'm sorry. They were lucky to have you. I hope this helps.   submitted by   /u/2dogs1man [link]   [comments]
