Time Travel
 

Man i just love the idea of time travel and a time machine
its something that i can remember loving ever since i was a kid


The idea of being able to go to the past or back to the future
the rules that may or may not apply



Can you change the past?
Can you see your future self?

Astronomy class was a total mindfuck. Even base level stuff like I was taking got into mulitverses and worm holes.

Or you just use the Pete and Pete method of waiting for daylight savings time and eating tons of cereal.

i really wish there was some way to travel through time, but that would transcend the third dimension and fuck up the time-space continuum

but maybe someday someone will figure it out

I'm more of a space travel dork

But obviously tme kicks in there as well with speed of light/near speed of light travel.

Anywho

No I wouldn't like to be able to travel through time

Too much shit to contemplate, added to the fact me present/me past wouldn't take any advice from himself :D

have you guys read about John Titor?

Yep interesting

enigmatic

bullshit

but fun to think about

If you wanted to see your future self
you would have to go back into the past and meet your past self

ouch

The riboflavin is crucial.

I once wrote a paper about time travel. It's all bullshit, but it is a good read. I think it's still up on my MySpace blog... http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=12102063&b logID=69554819

Fuck, I knew there was something in the cereal, but I couldn't remember it. Riboflavin!

This is not a discussion one should enter after drinking too much

blaaaaarhgg

well im pretty stoned at the mo mo and enjoying it

If all of earths gravity vanished but we were still able to breath
everything that wasnt moving would sit still and only float away if there was energy behind it

I wouldn't time travel if I could. When I'm older I might want to go back and be young again for a bit but now I have no desire.

I know nothing about it, but it doesn't make logical sense to me. I don't think it's possible.

time travel is such a stonery thing to talk about

but the concept of it is very interesting


like really though, time is something that can totally warp your thinking even if only for a minute or so

because it's so pervasive, and there is only one way to describe what time is, really. time is time. any other word you use to describe it would just be some other unit of time, like hours, days, months, years, minutes, seconds, etc...


if i had a time machine

london, late 80s
los angeles, 1972
new york, 1975-80

i might go make some noodles

You could say time is a limited perspective from which we attempt to view the entirety of life.

But that would be fucking stupid.

Damn, I changed my sig earlier this week.

"Time is what keeps everything from happening all at once."

i want to get a time machine tattoo
but not an already made up time machine idea
like i dont want the delorian or something from a movie

time is a linear method of measuring the intervals between events

i think

that's the best that i can do

it really freaks me out if i start thinking about it too much

I remember I had a hard time reading Heidegger because of his take on time in his discussion of boredom.

Ditto. I often find I can't sleep if I dwell on time and how it either seems to move incredibly fast or incredibly slow.

Thinking about time too much makes me feel like clay. Too real. Like I shouldn't be able to move. I'll take my metaphysical want-based existence over the acceptance of physical reality any day.

Time travel is only possible if there were infinite dimensions, and then it wouldn't be time travel because you would just be visiting other dimensions that were running on a slightly different time line.

And if time travel were to happen in a single plane of time then you wouldn't see your self in past of present because the matter that made you exist in space is/would be currently making up the you that went back or foward into time. Because there is a defined amount of matter in existence the latter way of time travel would be impossible, kind of.

that's insane

mind

blown

I've thought about time travel a lot, ahha

what if two people did that at once?

Something like this:

I see.

actually, yknow, fuck time travel

i want to go here





hey, i could pay richard branson £100,000 for 5 minutes in space

Every time I've thought about time travel I've come to the conclusion that it's a grand paradox.
I haven't really read too much about it, though. But I've had a few discussions with people who have.
My room smells funny.

also not only does it freak me out to think about space and time
but it actually scares me

looking out the window at night scares me too though

and i still don't sleep in the dark
especially if the closet isn't shut

i like dark a lot


time used to scare me... or not time, but the concept of infinity. that still irks me a little... we really have no idea how to gauge infinity

it's the things that i can't see or don't know about that scare me, because i have an overactive imagination.

i want to go back home
and then i'm never leaving my apartment ever again

i had that... or still have it... but was only scared when i was 4-8... its just your imagination filling in the blanks of your eyes

i like dark so much... one summer i pretty much didn't wake up till 4 pm, and didn't look outside until the sun was going down because i was so sick of the sun... i did it for a couple weeks at least... i also have good night vision, maybe because i ate a lot of carrots as an infant

The best time machine :

Reading about time travel, parallel universes and how the universe is going to end on Wikipedia is both fun and creepy.

already exists.

let me explain:

I have to get to Highland Park, twenty or so miles away, and I normally take the light rails with a bus, and it takes an hour and a half. This itself is magical, as aside from it my feet would take hours and hours, perhaps an entire days journey like following the damned Mission trails to get there.

Now If I jump in a car, and take the freeway short cut up the 710 to the 5 to the 110 exist ave43leftrightleftstraight.... I suddenly find myself in Highland Park in 45 minutes or less. a straight fucking time machine, you can go from being late to early with no traffic....

further, say I want to get to Portland Oregon, which took me 36 hours on the train [well, it was stopped or delayed for 10 or so of those hours..], or will take you 18 hours of straight driving north on the 5, or you can jump on a southwest flight north for 150 bucks and be there in an hour and 15 minutes. when I took the train, I went through all my albums, when I took the plane, I got through the airport, on the plane, took off, landed, changed planes, took off, landed, got out of the airport 1200 miles from home and still had not even finished one Grateful Dead concert recording! straight fucking time travel.

I think if someone gave me the option of travelling through time or spending a week readinng Heidegger, I'd probably do the latter.

Remember - speed can reduce the time spent travelling; it doesn't actually affect time itself in any way. Having said that, if you went up in space for a few years you'd find that people on Earth had actually lived longer when you returned. Ooh.

Bergson, anyone?
