sortie

Hello, this is Albert Einstein and I have stolen the log in from that idiot "Sortie". I will use his screen name because I don't want the language I'm going to use on 12clicks to be associated with my legacy.


Now, on to it!

Fuck you 12clicks! Your ice cream knowledge is garbage and how dare you insult my research on time travel.

Let me explain:

Consider that the star you see in the sky tonight is 10 light years away.
You are therefore seeing this star light as it appeared 10 years ago.
If you magnify this light you would see the activity on that star that happened 10 years ago.

So just reverse this scenario and put yourself on that star looking back at earth. You would then magnify the light from earth and see the activity on the surface that occured 10 years ago.

But what good does it do for you to travel to this star at a rate where it would take you 10000000 years to get there? None...because you would only see light that was 10 years old and thus not see in the past of when you left earth, which was 10000000 years ago!!!! In other words, you would only see light from earth that occured after you left earth and not before you left earth.
It is the light that occured before you left earth that allows you to see into the past.

But if you traveled to that star slightly faster than the speed of light then you would get to this star just in time to see the light before you left earth.

Summary:

In order for you to see what happened on earth yesterday you would need to travel to a location in space that is 24 hour's light distance away and get there before the actual light from 24 hours ago reaches that location.
Which means you would have to travel faster than the speed of light.



Now, I will go get my own ice cream and eat it faster than the speed of melting so that I willl not have to whine about that past oppotunity to have eaten it in its full state.

BTW: I'm loging off so that the real "Sortie" can log in.
