Many science fiction shows, books, movies, etc. deal with the concept of time travel and FTL. I just read a really trippy article about why time doesn't exist and therefore neither is possible.

This is no time to be arguing about time. We don't have the time!
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Of course time travel is possible. Why, as I type these very words, I am travelling forward in time at a rate of one second per second!

Fucking mathematicians. All conceptual theory & no proof.

I didn't wake up with a headache. I just spent the last 20 minutes reading that article. I have a headache now. Does someone want to travel back in time and stop me from reading that? Please?

By the time you read that article your time will have been wasted- further driving the desire to create a time-machine, thus making the creation of said more plusable, despite the prevailing mathmatics of this backward era. sigh In the future they'll know better.

I'm traveling through time right now...

If you're traveling in a time machine, and you're eating corn on the cob, I don't think it's going to affect things one way or the other. But here's the point I'm trying to make: Corn on the cob is good, isn't it. Posted by Harry (Member # 265) on :
I'm eagerly awaiting his definition of 'motion', if it doesn't involve time.
It seems awfully close to arguing semantics. He claims there is no time, and then explains quite in an elaborate way that time = change, and that there wouldn't be time in an empty space (that means, a space without anything it). I mean.. that's just silly. If there's NOTHING, there's no time either.. the difference is purely academic, since even if there was some 'magical time arrow', you wouldn't notice it since nothing could concievably change.

But the point is that the 'passage of time' is just an evolution from one state, arrangement of mass, to another. You can't 'travel backward' in time because it's not a physical dimension. You'd have to force the entire universe into an alternate configuration matching the one at the 'time' you want to visit.

"The only reason time exists is so that everything doesn't happen all at once."

I think time was invented by cavemen and women who got tired of their little cave-brats asking "Are we there yet?"

Time is but the river I go a-fishing in.

you are ALLLLLLL!!!! LINEAR BEINGS MUWHAHhahahahahahaahaa
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
You are linear. Advasarial. A pennace must be landed on your ass.

You are educated stupid.

Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. After all Number One, we're only mortal. Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
