Belive it or not, I was going to say that.

I believe you.

hang on a sec

Don't think a time machine could exist...
But if I had the chance I'd go to the prehistoric age and show off to cave people :)

Don't talk about what you don't know, you Philosophy student. MA is talking about the fact that time slows down as you go faster. Thus, travelling around planets at a speed approaching the speed of light will make you age slower than your peers that stayed at home, which means you're effectively zooming in to the future.

Your other alternative for time travel is to pilot a spacecraft through the Hasslein curve, but this seems to only have two exit points at 1972 and 3978, and one of those is ruled by apes

I thought he was talking about using time zones to travel back through time? I had similar thoughts a few weeks ago.

Why do people think you could travel time with speed?
Just asking, cause I really want to get involved with this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

And how could you know this is true?

In my opinion time does not exist anywhere but in our heads. It's just present, the happening, just staying where it is... not going further, not going faster or slower or anything... it's just there.. and we are in it. This theory of relativity... it was said that Time goes more slowly in higher gravitational fields. I think it's just a mindfuck when you actually feel like the time goes slower but instead your brain just work slower... in a way.

This is just my quick opinion, don't get me wrong.

How can your mind, or anything else for that matter, work faster or slower without time? There can be no speed or acceleration without time. Without time everything is still. I would say "eternally still," but it's not really eternity when it is just a single moment. Without time there will only ever be one moment.

On the time dilation page you might want to scroll down to the heading entitled "experimental confirmation". We're hardly dealing with what time "seems" like when two identical synchronised atomic clocks emerge from their respective journeys telling different times.

Long ago we came to the point in science where the world stopped making sense. Common sense is worthless on the front lines of science these days. And why should the universe make sense to us? We only ever needed to think in terms of very slow speeds and scales perfectly between the very small and very large, the middleworld where classical physics is applicable. But at the extremes the universe behaves very differently, in a way that we never had to deal with in our evolutionary history. It's made and it's insane. We can observe what happens when a particle meets itself coming the other way, because they can do that. And it doesn't matter how irritating, annoying or confusing it is, we just do the maths and they predict our experiments and observations correctly, to an obscene degree of accuracy.

I would go in 2010 to buy Oddbox or in 2011 to look Citizen Siege!:D

Go back about two and a half decades with an HD TV and Xbox 360 and blow people's minds. I like the simple things.

don't even go there.

i know because i've been there, and i was wrong. i was fucking embarrassing.

TIME

IS ON MY SIDE

OH YES IT IS

They'll make fun of you for not having the same fashion sense as those hip young bastards are wont to do.

I wonder I can go back and sire my brother/son. ohhhh, that's disgusting

♪ If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay ♫

Why do you need to go back in time to do that?

♪ LETS DO THE TIME WARP AGAAAAAAAAAAIN! ♫


Oh come on, SOMEBODY had to.

I'd feel less awkward if she didn't know who I was.

Something tells me that at the time the Second World War was finally over the population of Germany as a whole were at least as happy as the British, French and Americans were.

I'd go back to the eighteenth century in Germany and ask Friedrich Nietzsche what the hell he was talking about.

This one is borderline Bits 'n' Pieces, but I figured it would be relevant enough here. It's a timeline of time travel plots from Hollywood. Click on it to view the creative process that led to this final version.

Nate... Are you serious..?

I think I'd just go back really far and take a great big shit in the ocean, then see what evolved in the future.

Erm... why wouldn't I be?

If I had a Time Machine, I'd go to Europe to see the fascination cultures :)

I'd go back to 1959 and live my life through the 60's as it's where I belong. Then when 1970 arrives, I'd go back and repeat.

Take a bath, hippie.

I hate it when people say "I belong in such and such a time". I bet half the people who say it wouldn't go through with it if the opportunity arose, or would wish they hadn't. I think that people tend to view the past as it is portrayed in the media, which more often than not have their nostalgia goggles on. Things are a lot better in many ways now than they were several decades in the past, and the sooner people realise that and focus their concentration on the present, the better.

Take a hit, dad.

No, because I really really detest modern lifestyles. I see nowdays as the worst the world has been, what with chavs and other horrible things. If I had the chance to live my life in the 60's, bet any money I'd say goodbye to these times and leave without so much as even looking back. I know a lot of people talk about things they would never do. But there is nothing I want more in life than to have been living it then. I do belong there, everything I love is from those times, be it music, TV, fasion, everything. Modern life makes me depressed and I want no part of it. Ever. I would miss videogames but that would be all. That's just the way I'm built, and I'm out of place. :fuzblink:

Oh, yes. Nothing equally horrible ever existed in the '60s, did it? What you see in mainstream media is not representative of the opinions and interests of a regular modern-day person (and I'm sure it wasn't in the '60s - I bet you a lot of people wished they were alive a couple of decades ago back then, because "they would have been the days") - it merely shows the morons and the loud people. There is a lot of good in the modern day, but it just doesn't get noticed, because people are too busy complaining about the bad, and worrying over whether John Smith's going to win the X Factor or not.

I don't doubt that there was bad in the 60's but those are the times I was brought up around. If I have to have some bad around me, I'd rather it be in the 60's than now. I just don't like modern times. I don't like modern music or TV, or fasion sense. I like how it was in the 60's, so therefore, I want to be there. I will take any bad with it as to me, it is well worth it. But I am certainly not happy taking the bad in modern times, as I honestly hate them. Basically, it boils down to this. I am not happy in these times. There is absolutely nothing for me in these times, everything gives me depression. Even the sight of something modern makes a cloud come over me. Call it wierd if you like. I know where I want to be, but unfortunatelly, I will never get that.

You don't know how it was in the 60's,

You've got this warped view as a lot of popular culture lionizes the period

I know the music, TV and fasion of the 60's. I also know people who WERE from the 60's, ones who have told me the bad and the good. I know enough to know I want to be there. Notining anyone says will change this, nothing at all. :)

EDIT: I just watched your Oddworld Inspired Animation. That was awesome.

I know more about 60s music than modern songs. I can name about 4 songs released last year, if I'm lucky...

Also, the above as made me think that the ideal time to live was a time before people were civilized enough to look to the past and see how much better things once were. Life would have been so much easier back then...

Sligoth: What's you're position on household items made of plastic? What about air conditioners, central heating and microwaves? Would you like an affordable car? A television that doesn't cost a month's wages? How about a quality medical system that cares for you without gouging out your wallet? Would you like to go to university and get a top-notch education without having millionaire parents?

If you answered 'Yes' to any of those questions, you'd better stay right here.
With the possible exception of the medical system one. Depending on where you live, you might not actually be better off today
