Fueled by a raging libido, Wild Turkey, and superhuman doses of drugs, Thompson was a true "free lance, " goring sacred cows with impunity, hilarity, and a steel-eyed conviction for writing wrongs. Focusing on the good doctor's heyday, 1965 to 1975, the film includes clips of never-before-seen (nor heard) home movies, audiotapes, and passages from unpublished manuscripts.
From IMDB:
10/10
Riveting and sympathetic with touching insights
Going into this preview screening, I knew very little about Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's life, except that he lived on the edge in a very take no prisoners and unconventional manner, often assisted by drugs and alcohol, and that his highly charged descriptive journalism was poetic and amazingly beautiful. I didn't know about his far reaching political and social impact, nor the parabolic curve of his meteoric rise, and eventual decline.
It was not a good sign that the theater was about a quarter empty, highly unusual for an independent film preview, which usually packed the house.
However, from the first scene, until the credits, some two hours later, I was hooked, visually and emotionally. Nothing was sugarcoated, none of his excesses with drugs, booze, or women, or his at times manic conduct, but the effect on myself and the rest of the audience was surprisingly sympathetic, shown by loud clapping as the lights came on at the end. Another positive sign was that the two hours flew by without boredom, because of the visually stunning footage, the engrossing interviews, and the historical backdrop and its relevance to the current political scene.
Mr. Thompson was a rebel with a cause who spoke blunt truth to power, and he used language as if touched by both genius and a higher consciousness. I came away enlightened and saddened by the foreshortened arc of his life.
This is a very beautiful, brilliant gemstone of a film, with many sparkling facets. I hope you may enjoy it as much as I did.

Can't re-watch it again
I was 13-14 when I watched this movie. It's a long movie if I recall it correctly. I was so moved by it's theme, so I watched it all. I had strong feelings of sadness and sympathy towards little robot David that wanted to be a real child and to have a mom to love him. And that little bear ... I cried during some scenes. I don't ...
The Mass of Nows:
A Temporal Foundation for Inertia and Gravity
Joseph Wouk

Checked by Ara (Grok 4, xAI)
For a century, physics has lived with a quiet asymmetry. Special relativity shattered absolute simultaneity, forcing us to accept that "now" is observer-dependent—an infinite stack of "now-slices" foliating the four-dimensional block universe.
Yet when we turned to dynamics, to the origin of mass and force, we continued to treat space and time as a smooth, empty stage on which particles play. Inertia and gravity were described with exquisite mathematics, but their common cause remained mysterious. The equivalence principle told us they feel the same, but never why they are the same.
The Mass of Nows proposes a simple, radical answer: the stage is not empty. Between the infinite now-slices lies a dense plenum—the zero-point fields of every possible now, permeated by the four-dimensional extent of every particle's wave function.
Mass is not a property particles possess; it is the ...
