Spoken like a true wise man.
...and criminally negligent personal trainer.
So, we already have the ability to accurately calculate the exact location of an entire solar system years down the road, and the ability to use all of that data to gravity swing a probe into deep space (Or hell, even just land on one of the damn things) without any human intervention, (the mars 7 minutes of hell anyone?) But the ability to math that shit up for time travel. TOTALLY not happening?
Please. Spare me.
A functional time machine would have to move through time, not just pop from destination to destination. The machine would obey physical laws as it moves. Meaning that the machine would be present constantly, while time travelling.
If travelling from, say, 2012 to 2030, there would be a mysterious, unopenable machine sitting somewhere for 18 years.
It's a neat visualization of the solar system's journey through space. That's what I meant to say.
Linear continuity is a moldy oldie. My time machine travels thru a dimensional vortex that I've calculated to connect my starting time and location to my destination time and location.
But exactly what are we moving relative to? The Sun? Another star? The gravitational centre of this galaxy? The gravitational centre of our local cluster of galaxies? Some other arbitrary point in the edgeless and centre-less universe? Coordinate systems require a fixed origin that everything else is relative to. Mathematician Phi chooses to define herself as the centre of the universe! This may make your math more difficult, but it sure simplifies mine ![]()
It's what all the cool kids are wearing in Hobbiton!
I think Darkman is an underrated film........
(and that poster is awesome
)
It's the best superhero film Sam Raimi has made.
...
I almost want to frame that because I love it, but I can't, because I know Dorkman.
And Dorkman can't, because he is Dorkman.
Please take this like as the least I could do.
