Rainy day thread…
Often when in a museum or collection (or just watching documentaries on tv) I think to myself “wouldn’t it be great to go back in time see that in action/see that happen.”
So… assuming Doc Brown has left the keys to the DeLorean with you for the weekend – where would you go and why?
Regards
Rich

Dunno what you’re on about old fruit 😉
Ive set my timer though 😎

Welcome back Ben. Have you put Muttley back in the cupboard then? 😀
As an aside, has it occurred to you that your wholly offensive avatar coupled with your thinly veiled jibe at the moderating team in your signature might just earn you another spell on the naughty step?
Whilst it may be true to suggest that you can teach SOME old dogs new tricks, there will always be others who, for reason or reasons unknown, will never learn the error of their ways.
BTW did you pop up to Key Towers and have words with the ‘principal’ (sic)?
Regards,

If I was a time traveller, I certainly wouldnt be telling people about it 😀
Just in case you got banned for it ? 😀

What makes me sceptical about time travel back in time is that we haven’t seen any time travellers yet
What makes you think that time travellers would make themselves known, they’d look (id imagine) just like any of the other 6 billion people that live here :p 😀

It must be shear folly to think we could reverse it or even make it move forward more quickly in it.Ha,ha:)To try and measure to see if we have any great brains to see if we can at least see if anyone’s capable of this great experiment shall we take for example the M25 and try and gauge how fast the little tin boxes with wheels we call a time machine(car) can travel 2 miles on a Friday afternoon between J14 and J23 at any point between these two after 3pm.

13.7
Time is like infinity in that you will never be able to see it,hear it,know how old it is and least of all be able to play with it like a fairground machine with a couple of gears.
It’s about 13.7 billion years old, time started at the big bang.

What makes me sceptical about time travel back in time is that we haven’t seen any time travellers yet – surely historians in the future would want to see first hand the Battle of Thermopylae, Jesus, the Dambusters, etc, but to my knowledge these onlookers have never been reported in history, apart from perhaps the Cumberland Spaceman saga, linked to two tall figures in white space suits observed on video watching a Blue Steel test at Woomera in 1964…

Another thought that occurs to me is that if time travel can only go into the future, it’s a one-way ticket!

I think if we solve the M25 riddle we just might have a chance of thinking about a time machine provided no sleazy politician has syphoned the funds off which could fund such a project but thinking about solving the M25 and if we did I think we would all be just so pleased about that,the time machine would be forgotten..:eek::confused::):)

In which case it wouldn’t matter, would it?;)

Shouldn’t we hope that time travel is not possible?
With time travel we open up pandoras box. History can be changed not only for the better but for the worse.
We might wake to find Germany won the war or that we just cease to exist.

The point the scientists made was that it would be impossible to go back in time to before a time machine was invented.
The equal and opposite reaction to moving forward fast would be the means of propulsion moving in the opposite direction.
Maybe it’s because moving forward has no negative equal (moving backwards is still positive) that backwards time travel is perhaps impossible…

Newtons third law of motion
I remember a TV programme which featured scientists argueing about time travel, and the consensus was that it would be perfectly possible to travel forward in time by moving very quickly in relation to time passing on Earth, but that it would be impossible to go back in time to before a time machine was actually invented…
Would Newtons third law of motion be broken then if the above theory about being able to move forward but not back,when he states that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.What would be the equal action to moving forward fast enough and also the opposite action to moving forward.:):rolleyes:?

It’s already been done, all the Apollo astronauts body clocks were found to be
billionths of a second out of sync compared to clocks on earth due to time dilation.

Are you quite sure about that?

Yes, you can borrow mine.
Be sure to return it to me by last Wednesday. 😀

As I mentioned earlier. It was only a theory!
Now where did I leave that DeLorean.. and does anybody have an inverter that can deal with 1.21 gigawatts?
