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

ithinkimissyou 07.18.2008 10:21 PM

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?

ithinkimissyou 07.18.2008 10:22 PM

Yep interesting

enigmatic

bullshit

but fun to think about

ALIEN ANAL 07.18.2008 10:23 PM

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

ithinkimissyou 07.18.2008 10:24 PM

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

acousticrock87 07.18.2008 10:33 PM

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.

Cantankerous 07.18.2008 10:34 PM

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

ALIEN ANAL 07.18.2008 10:37 PM

i might go make some noodles

acousticrock87 07.18.2008 10:39 PM

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

But that would be fucking stupid.

Sonic Youth 37 07.18.2008 10:41 PM

Damn, I changed my sig earlier this week.

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

ALIEN ANAL 07.18.2008 10:45 PM

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

Cantankerous 07.18.2008 10:51 PM

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

pbradley 07.18.2008 10:55 PM

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