A time travel fund? While time travel may well become practical in the future, a whole organization dedicated to it seems a bit silly... :wtf: :p

 
Well, i'm tempted, but i'm sure i'll die for a good enough reason, here's not much point resurecting me in the future...  And what if nobody invents time travel? Then you loose your $10.  And what if you discover the secret of eternal youth, and never die.  Yet again, a waste of $10.
I'm thinking about this too much already.

Random time travel thoughts:

Time travel is not possible. If it was someone would have come back and told us about it.

If you had a time machine, you could theoretically go back and change the course of history. But you wouldn't. Because you didn't.

yeah but by changing something, you may create a whole new dimension...

In which case YOU wouldn't be in that dimension, it would be ANOTHER you! So this whole thing is a waste of money!

*gets confused*

What did I just say?

Time travel into the past might still be possible if there is a second time dimension, allowing for closed curves, but time travel into the future only would still work fine regardless.

yeah, but there is no one "real" you, since all the yous correspond to you. :D

Actually my theory, and a few others i think (scientists and stuff) is this: (in my own words)

Since everything we see we're not actually seeing the way most people commonly think of it... It's been proven that we see reflection of light waves.  Everything we see is in light.

Light reflects... and therefore (to cut it short) reflects ... (!?)  and if we can travel faster than the speed of LIGHT, we could travel back in time and SEE (not experience) what happened, without sound... cause we'd move back and see the reflection of the light in space, if you know what i mean

i'm no scientist, it's very vague... can't explain, i'm sure you understand (hopefully) :) lol

 
:no: SCAM ALERT!! SCAM ALERT!!


I can't believe this bull****.  I read in some scientific magazine that if a time machine was built, u can only go back to when the machine was built and not before.  They gave a host of reasons, but who knows who to believe.  This is all highly theorhetical and IMO totally fraudulent.  It might work as well if we all contribute $10 for FS3 to be made (which BTW won't work).

Catch my drift?

you're not talking about my post, are you?

 
actually, i was replying when u posted so i didn't see it till i posted.  I was referring to the whole thing.  They claim it's not a scam, but if its too good to be true well...

I had an idea to do something like this.  it's the same idea, but people would be donating to my "sick" mother...

That's what it sounded like to me as well; time travel is good, but a time travel institution? :p

That makes sense, but since we're not made of tachyons, it is thought to be impossible to reach the light speed in the first place (relative to anything) since that would require an infinite amount of energy. There might be ways of getting around that using gravity though...

You can jump foward in time the close to the speed of light you go.
It's a fact.  Stupid people have stupid children.  If you are stupid, don't have sex.  If you insist on having sex.  Have sex with animals.  If you have sex with an animal.  Make sure the animal is smarter than you are.  Just encase of some biological fluke you and the animal have offspring, they won't be as stupid as you are.   One more thing.  Don't assume the animal is protected.  If the animal has a condom, or if female some interuterian device, insist they wear it.  Help stop this mindless mindlessness.  Keep your stupidty to yourself.  This message was brought to you by the Committee of Concerned Citizens that are Smarter than You are.

i didn't say we could travel the speed of light, i said it would probably be POSSIBLE...

they say you can stop aging by traveling the speed of light too!

 
u don't move forward in time.  the closer u get to the speed of light, the slower time passes for u.  So while u experience 1 day, stationary people may move forward 1 year.

You cant travel at or faster then the speed of light, as proved by Einstein (sp?)

E = MC^2

The only way the speed of light can be reached is through pure energy (E). To do this, you would have to take mass (M) out of the equation. And since we have to be composed of mass to exist, you would be taking us out of the 'speed of light' equation. Therefor, only pure energy can travel at the speed of light (photons). - E = C^2 (energy equals the speed of light squared)
