  Tell the pilot to cross into another time zone so you have an extra hour. Just make sure they don’t go the wrong direction.

    Nah going backwards will just give an integer overflow so you get essentially infinite time

      It’s due at 11:59pm, but we teleported forward 1 hour and skipped right over it. We now have 23h07m left!

    Just tell the pilot to fly faster and relativity should handle the rest

      Unfortunately, time dilation works the other way around.

    Most academic deadlines are “anywhere on earth” in my experience.

  I am a historian, who even in this scenario would be one of the least useful… But I work on history of aviation, so maybe that could work out somehow lol

    I’m kind of an expert in prehistoric aviation myself.

    I’m interested in what career you have. Are you a professor of historical aviation?

      Well, I am a professor at a university, which involves teaching and research (at a research focused gig, so not excessive on the teaching load). I wouldn’t call myself a historian of aviation really, but a historian of technology - but my dissertation and hence first (and only) book is primarily about aviation so that would potentially cause lots of folks to think historian of aviation, but I already moved on to other topics, so aviation was not my focus really, but rather aviation’s role as a technology in a particular process that is the actual thing I was focusing on (territorial expansion and colonization through aviation). So, if historian colleagues ask what I do, it’s history of tech and history of the geographical region I focus on. If someone outside the profession asks, sure, history of aviation.

      All that said, my long and (pejoratively speaking) academic explanation is kind of a moot point, since I am unfortunately quitting academia because I am too underpaid to guarantee my kid a secure future. So the next project I had, on the history of hydroelectric dams and their environmental impacts, will not come to fruition

      PS.: peeked your profile after responding, and ehrmmm I am actually going into IT work, which is what I have done on the side to sustain life while being a professor. I have been divided between tech and humanities for a long time, and have mixed both in my career. Also keep my side gig doing custom 3D printing for local artists, but that’s just because I enjoy it :)

    the abstract still need tobe correct

      ChatGPT does very well at summarizing existing information. I haven’t seen it change the meaning of some input text yet. But if generating new text, sure it’s an issue then.
