I would buy a big delicious ice cream cone, and eat it... then go back in time until it was a big delicious ice cream cone and then eat it again... and then I would go back in time until it was a big delicious ice cream cone and then eat it once again... and then I would go back in time once more until it was a big delicious ice cream cone and then eat it all over once again... and then I would go back in time until it was a big delicious ice cream cone and then eat it once again... 

...and about that time I would have a terble tummy ache, be dizzy as hell and need to turn my time machine off and take a knap!





ROFLMAO.... thanks NastyDaddy... i really needed a good laugh  
 
 
And Fergus... i'm with You... some people have no sense of humour, and are way too serious  
 
 
As for me... i would travel into the future all the way to September (yes! of this year... 2006)... why?... i am headed overseas to be with my Master... can't wait!   *Gimmie that time machine!!!....*

I'd love to see the future, but fear that it would sadden me too much when I came back to the present.

Oh!  i'm with You MistressLorelei... can i share Your time machine for this one? i have a big thing for ancient Egypt too

Time stops at the speed of light in the sense that using the time dilation formula, of T=(gamma)t gamma tends to infinity as v -> c this obvioulsy implies an interval of nominal time continues for unbounded time in a light speed frame.

Could you not have been polite, and simply said I disagree?  Then given your reasons.

However, I read that time had never been explained or defined and so I'm assuming physicists are a little lost at this point.

I'd love to travel into the future more than the past, to see what happens but given that speculation could go on ad infinitum, perhaps I'd better stick to the past. I'd want to find out truths behind mythic stories such as Gilgamesh or if there are any truths in the Ilyiad and settle some points on certain stories in the bible. I'd love to be the slayer of myths and maybe create new ones. I'd draw flying machines on cave walls just to confuse people in the 20th and 21st centuries.

(Of course, "respectfully" is a dangling modifier in that sentence, but maybe grammar ain't his thing either.)

Still no takers on the Colts vs. the Jets in Super Bowl III?  I'll even give you eight points.

A travel companion would be great... and we can hit the roaring twenties on the way back to the present.  Maybe we can even do some shopping.  My bank account will go a lot further in the twenties.

I'd just scoot ahead to the time when physicists have figured out how the fuck time travel works, and then scoot back and lay HEAVY wagers that the New York Jets would win Super Bowl III.


OK, I don't know much about football... but I will go back in time just ahead of you.... and the fix the game... Jets will lose, and I'll take those wagers.

Well, with the Jesus shacking up and having kids theory resurfacing again, I wouldn't mind going back in time and finding out myself. After all, any evidence found now is to easy to discredit or has already been destroyed.

Now, going back to the 60's wouldn't be bad either. After all, I would already know all the winners of Tracks, Ball Games, Olympics, Boxing Matches and such. Not to mention, I'd be ready to begin my investments in the Stock Market and Realistate.

If you could time travel, what era would you go to, and why?


First pick up a few friends with a similar taste in 'fun' (like IronBear). From saving the great library of Alexandra, kicking arse in Carthage, sacking Troy then off to relax with the geishas of feudal Japan.

time travel is impossible,






I think everyone knew that it has not yet been invented in this timeline. 

Why not let us have our fun and play with this thread, instead of killing the buzz?

My votes:  The fifties (great cars) or the Victorian era  (so much repression to work with).  As for the future, all my destinations look good.

Further Einstein showed if one travelled at the speed of light, time actually stops
 
Respectfully, you are full of crap.  Please include the mathematical solution to the relativistic equations that you are interpreting that shows time stops when something travels at the speed of light.  IF that were true, how would stars shine?  LIGHT travels at the speed of light and time continues...
 
Einstein used a Cartesian coordinate system in his reference frames when he should have used a polar coordinate system. It should be rather obvious that translating the results obtained using spherical reference frames in order to form the rectangular frames that the Lorentz version of the formula is based on, is not only unnecessary, but introduces complications that serve only to cloud issues rather than clarify them.
The first repercussion of using polar coordinates is the realization that contrary to special relativity, horizontal distances in the direction of travel are effected in exactly the same manner that vertical distances are effected.  That is, what Einstein saw as an unchanging vertical distance between intersecting frames is actually the radius of the moving frame sphere and thus representative of all distances in the moving frame and not just vertical distances.  Moreover, it then becomes clear that real distances are not affected at all.  That is, the special property that Einstein assigned to vertical distances actually applies to all distances.  In fact, time variance as defined by the transformation formulas is contingent on exactly that proposition.  Using Einstein's equations to show time travel is possible is ludicrous because his equations work only in special cases.  All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.  Einstein told us that all squares are rectangles which is true, but then he postulated that ALL rectangles are squares.  Wrong.


ARGH!!! Banality!!! make it stop!

Hun, if I could grant you this, I sure would. :-)

Very touching. Not that it makes your pain less, [but] I sure the heck made my share of mistakes in life.
