You are all moving through time...

With every tick of the clock, I move into the future while leaving some of you in the past.

Uhm. What makes me a "Jesus freak"? I liked a movie about him?

You have issues.

Get back to the topic at hand, leave the religious ******** out of it, stop with the unnecessary personal commentary, and try to at least pretend to be normal, civil people having a conversation.

Time Travel is not possible because there is no time. Discuss

correction, Time travel is not possible with out a flux capacitor, the doc and Hewie lewis's "power of love" playing in the background

If I leave this Earth traveling near the speed of light and return 50 Earth years later I will still be my young virile self whilst the rest of you will be old or dead. Therefore, time travel is possible.

OH-N'omac · May 24, 2004, 08:43 PM

Absolute time travel seems impossible, but relative time travel happens all the time...like when an hour long class seems like it takes three hours because you want to be somewhere else, or when two hours fly by like 20 minutes while watching a really good movie.

Only if we give you enough fuel to get back.

It's true. Time travel is not possible because time doesn't really exist. Time is just a variable we use to explain the physical world. However, it is possible to see into the future and into the past.

ghost_flash · May 25, 2004, 02:25 AM

Possibly with a quantum computer?

no time

And, as I posted in that other thread, we know it will never be achieved because if it does we would already know about it. i.e. someone would have come back and told us.

Aren't we all moving into the future with you?

That would depend on who is trying to live in the past at the same time, and who is not.

You can't live in the past no matter what you do. If you are trying to duplicate the past you are still moving into the future.

Sorry but you are just wrong. A person can live in the past. Just look at anyone with a mullet for example.... living in the past.

This brings me to the next topic: Isn't time circular instead of linear?

Won't that mullet be popular again someday?

If you wear disco shoes from the 70's does not mean you are in the year 1970, it still means you are in the year 2004 wearing something from the past.

I never stated you would be *in* the past. Just living in the past. Wake up.

Living in the past means you are in the past.

Looking like you are LIVING in the past is different. Duh.

That isn't what it means here in the US.

It means you wont let go of the past.
