on the contrary, you'll already see how im thinking of ways it would be possible to work around the huge odds, it's just you can't fully appreciate the difficulties and prefer to exist in a trite "we can do anything" universe without comprehending the task.

ok to remove my snides remarks to nocarrier : to know how it is possible you first have to know why it is impossible.

"Did anyone actually build a large version of this thing? Well, no one could have come this close to the real shape of flight without working on a larger scale. This little wooden model could hardly exist unless someone had worked with large, light models, or even with man-carrying versions."

LOL! Open your dictionary, and search for "sarcasm". :1orglaugh

'nuff said.

Look.. I understand fully your theory about the whole point of origin and destination in time and space. Trust me, once they figure out a way to break that barrier, your problem will be a thing of the past. No pun intended. :glugglug

In theory, time travel is possible. That doesn't mean our civilization will ever gain the technology to do it, but the problems you are talking about will be solved once they find a way to do it.

sarcasm is sometimes hard without a sarcasm smiley

Oh really? I didn't know we had one on GFY!? :1orglaugh

I already stated the problem is only one of degrees of difficulty and lack of knowledge, not theorectical impossibility. It' not a "theory" it's just one of the reasons why it's not easy.
I also suggested how to get around it. And how the initial low success rate would get higher as more data was collated.
And wasn't even operating on a simple "the time machine" time travel ability others were using I was thinking in terms of plotting destination co'ords that weren't just "this spot here, 50 years ago".

Thanks, but like I mentionned many times in this thread, it was about a "what if" scenario. Not about theories and problems of time travel possibility.

that's just plain moronic...you are presuming that space and time are separate or that time is even a thing at all...it's not

time is a concept used to describe our own perceptions of progress....and thus you have people conceiving of time as a river, one that you could possibly travel "backwards" on or jump forward

trust me, there is only now, it is a constantly changing now but past and future are strictly human concepts -- until you can prove me wrong

if you didn't have memory you wouldn't even be aware of a past and it wouldn't matter - you'd only be aware of the constant now...kinda like a dog

Uhmm... ok, the whole tomorrow doesn't exist thing... that can be argued until... well, tomorrow.

I agree, it doesn't exist, the past doesn't exist... the future... what ever. But just because humans gave names to them, doesn't mean that it didn't happen or won't happen.

Time is happening.. time is mother nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.

In some form or another... time has existed, and will exist for ever... to say that it's a human concept is kind of an egotistical way of thinking. We mean nothing to the grand order of things. To think we could come up with something like a past or future is kinda overstating our capabilities.

:warning

this is the most intelligent thread i have read on this board

I'd go back & kill every bastard that:

Wrote a "hate crime" into law
Made the interstate speed limit "55"
Ever started a war
Killed an innocent person
Killed a Native American
Started a relegion
Started a cult
Instilled the fear of god in man
Imprisoned a man for his/her political beliefs
Dumped nuclear waste into the ocean
Killed a whale
Killed a Dolphin (not the fish)
Beat up a retarded person
Knocked over or tripped a blind person
Let women into professional golf
Let women into professional basketball
Let women into professional tennis
Brought African American slaves to America
Brought Mexican Slaves to America
Brought Chinese Slaves to America


Then i'd fuck the following people in the ass years prior to their fame:

Marylyn Monroe
Susan B. Anthony
Mrs. Jack F. Kennedy (And all their daughters)
Mrs. George Bush Sr. (And all their daughters)
Mrs. George Bush Jr. (And all their daughters)
Billy Jean King (That dyke tennis player)

Here read this post from this guy that says he is from the
41ST Century.

I think it was Robin Williams that said:

"I would buy some of his paintings"

I can dig it.

I would go to the time of my conception and be born into a family with a lot of wealth and prestige. Or I would want to be born into someone who was going to be rich and famous, preferably a pop singer/star. I'm getting too old, so doesn't look like it's going to happen in my lifetime. Or at least born into a rich family and be a socialite without ever having to work in my life ever. It seems like money makes all problems go away, if I was rich I could buy Manolo Blahnik shoes, Louis Vuitton purses, expensive clothes, get everything that I dislike about my body fixed and be 1,000 times happier. It seems like all of my problems I have are things I want that only money can buy and things about my body I want to fix that require money, but unfortunately I don't have enough of it. If I had millions I could be anyone I want and look any way I want. Celebs look so good because they spend shitloads of money on veneers, personal trainers, stylist, thousand dollar makeup artists... etc.. If I was a millioaire my life would be perfect, My problems all revolve around money, or lack thereof.


Or at least go back in time so that I would obtain the genes to be a little bit taller with more curves, and be more mixed looking.

Sorry but I don't want to make monumental changes and change history or anything, I don't have time to worry about other people, I got my own problems!

The only tangible, and scientifically possible method of time travel is to create a wormhole in space. However that means you can only go back in time as far as the point where you started the wormhole. So if we created one tomorrow, we could theoretically travel back to that point, but no further. However, there may be other cosmic entities that are the equivalent of wormholes, who knows.

Philadelphia fans could relive the Monday press conferences ad nauseum!

100 time travellers not as cool as michael j fox.
