No discussion of time travel is complete without mentioning the TimeCube. If you haven't been to this website, GO NOW. Then, when you quit laughing, come back!

www.timecube.com

I call down a Demonic Curse upon the Evil
Americans who ignore Earth's 4 Corner Days
within a single rotation of 4 quadrant Earth.
Believing in a God when there is proof that
there is no God, dooms humanity to a Hell
of Horror. America is 1/2 way to it's Hell.
The American "Bill of Rights" - "Freedom of
Speech", is BullShit. MisEducators suppress
The Time Cube Principle and will not allow
Students to discuss or debate it's merits and
application. Also, the Academic bastards
will not even allow Time Cube on their web
sites. On Yahoo, Time Cube - 81,000,000
and on Google was once 89,000,000 - until
cut back to 3,000,000 by ignorant believers.


A demonic curse?!? AAAAIIIIEEEEE!!!!!


eek

i love how his rant just suddenly stops in mid-sentence. lol

That was a interesting cult. This cult last meal was supposedly at Marie Callender of all places. Hmmm. Maybe, there's something about the pie. eek

You have no idea. I actually spent an entire subway ride yesterday thinking about this question and a response that I wanted to write up in here. When I got home, this thread had already dropped to page two and I thought it was a sign that I should just keep my nerdy thoughts to myself.

If we can find a way to warp space and create a worm hole.

Space time is continually being warped though around black holes.

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson explains this perfectly in his various lectures. He gives an exhaustive exlaination actually of what would happen if two black holes collided or got locked in a close rotation around each other.

Apparently, space/time would be warped in such a manner that you could start in one spot, and when you got to another spot at the other side of the rotating blackholes, you would be further back in time than when you started. Or some weird shit like that.

I was so pissed when I missed his lecture here in Tampa last week. He's like a rock idol to me.

nod That's what I'm talking about but there is a very delicate way you'd have to go about going through it because the singularity will disintegrate you so you have to catch it at the right angle. And that would also assume we'd be able to harness and manipulate black holes and also be able to open them big enough to travel through but they speculate that you can time travel that way and possibly go to different universe's.

Kind of, well, sort of...um...all of it?


Yorkshire's kind of stuck in a time warp, but in a good way.

Where I live, the Midlands (hey, did you see what we did there? We're slap bang in the middle of the country and ...well clever word-play is our forte, obviously!) is stuck in a time warp too, but not so much in a good way!

Well, let me hip you to Marie Callender. On the West Coast, there are chains of restaurants that serve everything like Denny's but their known for pies. And in the Mid West and East Coast, the Franchise sells frozen dinners which are pretty tasty.

I don't believe that. I believe it's only the perception of time, since black holes have such strong gravity that even light can't escape. So light would move backward, and you'd see the past, but you wouldn't literally be in the past.

Of course it's moot, as the black hole would tear you to pieces long before you got near it. Maybe you could see yourself being torn to pieces before it happens!

But time is part of the continuum. It actually slows as relative to speed and mass, or speeds up depending on the e=mc2 dealy right? So super massive objects containing enough mass to distort the other parts of the equation should be able to reverse that no? I think relativity allows for this? It just doesn't allow for us as humans to actually survive such a undertaking, right?

I'm really don't know cause I'm not smart. But I believe time itself is part of the equation and thus relativity allows for this behavior.

We think of it as unchanging and linear--like to the beat of a metronom. General Relativity states that it isn't at all.
