Nelson Coral Nye (1907–1997) was an American writer, editor, and reviewer of Western fiction, and wrote non-fiction books on quarter horses. Besides Nelson C. Nye he also wrote fiction using the pseudonyms Clem Colt and Drake C. Denver.[1] He wrote over 125 books, won two Spur Awards: one for best Western reviewer and critic, and one for his novel Long Run, and in 1968 won the Saddleman Award for ""Outstanding Contributions to the American West".
Nye was born September 28, 1907, in Chicago, Illinois. Before becoming a ranch hand in 1935, he wrote publicity releases and book reviews for the Cincinnati Times-Star and the Buffalo Evening News. He published his first novel in 1936 and continued writing for 60 years. He served with the U.S. Army field artillery during World War II. He worked as the horse editor for Texas Livestock Journal from 1949 to 1952.
In 1953 Nye co-founded the Western Writers of America (WWA)[2] and served as its first president during 1953–1954.[3] He was also the first editor of ROUNDUP, the WWA periodical that is still published today.
From 1958 to 1962 he was the frontier fiction reviewer for the New York Times Book Review, and served a second term as president of the WWA from 1960 to 1961.
Nye became a breeder and trainer of, and expert on, quarter horses, and wrote several non-fiction books on quarter horses and quarter racing. Nye died October 4, 1997, in Tucson at the age of 90.[4]

Vsauce, I’m Jake and what are you doing on the ground? Let’s get you standing up...there...you’re looking great. Actually since I have you here, have you seen the film Interstellar? I watched it recently and in the movie they use a wormhole, a shortcut through space and time to travel much more quickly...ostensibly time traveling. And that got me thinking about a complicated part of time travel, paradoxes. Like the bootstrap paradox, also known as the Ontological Paradox, which has been used in things like the Ocarina of Time, Time Splitters, Terminator, and Back to the Future. It’s when information or objects are never really created, because their existence starts by coming from the future and ends by going to the past to become themselves… for example in the Ocarina of Time Guru-Guru teaches Link the Song of Storms in the future, yet Guru-Guru learned the song from Link when he traveled back in time or...wait...where did this camera come from again?... Excuse me, I’m trying to film could you keep it down a bit? Actually, let’s travel a little into the past and talk about the Predestination Paradox. The predestination paradox is when you travel to the past to stop or change the outcome of an event (phone rings) “Hello?” Jake “Bill?” Jake, Jake you’re travelling through time. “I am, correct.” So what you’re going to experience is Time Dilation. What you and I think of as the speed of time as being constant even when we’re in a hurry even when we lose track of time. We nominally imagine a clock that’s running at a constant rate relative to the universe but that turns out not to be true. Its not the speed of time is constant its the speed at which energy can move is constant this is to say the speed of light. So, I want you to be careful of this because when you look at your watch it will look like time is passing at normal speed, normal rate, but in fact the universe is moving along at its own speed and when you try to reconnect with it you might end up changing the course of history in such a way that you never exist...and neither do I. “Bill? Bill? Bill? Bill?!!” Excuse me, I’m trying to film could you keep it down a bit? So with the predestination paradox, you travelling back in time to stop an event is what caused it in the first place. And the creation of that instant leads to future you going back in time to try and fix it...lets move on. When we think about traveling backwards through time, we tend to think of it like the Butterfly Effect where an action as seemingly inconsequential as stepping on a flower or killing a bug can cause a domino effect, rippling through space and time to drastically change the future. Do I have a mustache now? And a knife? However, in most paradoxes the timeline is an endless loop. Isaac Brock has a great verse, “The universe is shaped exactly like the Earth, if you go straight long enough you’ll end up where you were.” And why am I still holding this knife? Oh….oh no...oh I am so sorry...I killed myself, literally...wait no this is perfect…we just hit the Grandfather Paradox. The Grandfather Paradox is fairly simple. If you were to go back in time and kill your grandfather, he wouldn’t be able to have one of your parents and they wouldn’t have been able to have you which means you wouldn’t exist and therefore wouldn’t be able to go back in time and kill your grandfather...in this case (points to body out of frame) I killed myself, but if I killed myself before I could go back in time to kill myself I wouldn’t be alive to go back in time to kill myself which means I never killed myself so then I’d be alive to go do everything again leading up to me going back in time and accidentally killing myself...making this whole video...a paradox...and as always, thanks for watch… Vsauce, I’m Jake and what are you doing on the ground?
