I for one hope its not. If they were to prove it WAS possible I wouldn't know what was original anymore :stupid:

So wait, if the US gov is funding this, does that mean obama's economic plan is to go back in time and steal the riches of the past? :shock:

Haven't you ever learned? People and the government make up these programs just to get paid the funding, most of it is garbage that will never see itself out of an alpha phase, if that.

That and time travel is in the same boat as string theory: the USS You Can't Test Us Without Fucking Everything Up. :)

First thing i'll do is go back in time and kick abraham lincons ass and go score a drink with john.

Abraham Lincon was actually racist. Among other things wrong with him

So physicists are idiots now?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

You cannot travel backwards in time (unless you are a theoretical partical, and still then only for a period of time so short that it cannot even be measured). TIME does not exist execpt as a concept for measuring the movement of matter and energy through space. That is why they call it spacetime and why the faster you are traveling the slower time progresses and why gravity can effect the progression of time. ANY physicist that starts talking about time travel as if it is a possibility is not just a quack, but a total freaking idiot. If anyone ever travels back in time like in works of fiction I will eat a bowl of shit. No offense intended

They weren't proving it possible. They just announced it cannot be proved impossible with physics and math.

Time travel is possible..

to quote demetri martin:
I have a time machine, but it only goes forward at normal speed...

Right, but you can't prove a lot of things impossible, so it's comepletely insipid to say such a thing. It's like me saying that I believe in an Invisible Pink Unicorn (look it up). You can't prove that is doesn't exist, I dare you!

I'm sorry, but the mention of time travel get's me emotional. It's not just improbable, it's unfathomable in that the level of energy and math that would be nessesary to move every object in the entire Universe to where it was at even a second ago would make your head explode. I mean OMG, imagine trying to move a supernova or even a doughnut shaped black hole, OMG!

There is also this thing called a barrier. Humans can NOT discover time travel for two main reasons: There is someone out there who obviously doesn't want you to travel through time (tower of babel, anyone?), and the clear facts of the matter which are that time doesn't even exist. It is a measuring tool, man-made, and that is all it is.

Word to your mother Divine, I think I said that previously about time not existing however I think that most people find it difficult to understand. Also I usually only consider the metaphysical stuff last and what you said opens a whole other door of discussion involving paradoxes, spirituality and junk I don't even want to touch.

LOL Wamp Rats is only about a 1/4 right about that. You guys know Abe was homosexual right? If I could go anywhere back in time it would be to hook up with Cleopatra, man that would be awesome. She was like half Greek and half Semetic and may be even like a little bit East African, man I bet she was like the hottest chick ever. Oh, and I would totally punch Hilter in the nuts.

I googled an image of Cleopatra and got these 2 things
Image

And then I got Image

I'm led to believe that the first one was Cleopatra

And there is no proof that Abe was a homosexual racist.

Both those pics are hot, but I am betting she was even more hot than both put together, oh and passionate too, Mediteranean chicks are fieisty. Abe was definitely a homosexual, google it.

i would just like to point out that even if time travel was possible we wouldn't have to worry about it. my guess is that if time travel happened it would create an alternate universe each time you time traveled and that person would be stuck in that universe. there for, we has no worries :stupid:

Or if they went back in time it would have already happened, so it wouldn't ruin anything either.

or if they went back and changed something, we would never know because we would think it was what always happened.
