Roar!

Who all is on thread?

Let's talk about Time Travel.

Who believes we will one day be able to travel through time?

Yes, I'm quoting my own post.

No one has replied on the subject.

Does no one here have any grasp on the subject matter, or just not interested?

It has nothing to do with the band...duh!!

Why did I have flashbacks of Scott Pilgrim versus the World when I read that last line?

"For the band. For the band. For the band!"

[Grasp]

Many people use the argument when speaking on the subject of time travel that if we were to one day be able to do so, then wouldn't we have already traveled back and informed us on the subject?

Well, my theory is that the reason no one from the future has traveled back in time and shared future technologies or information with ourselves, is because we will never be able to travel backwards in time to any point before the first receiver is invented and built. For example, we build the first device that allows for the receiving of information from the future on 1 Jan 2050. Anytime after 1 Jan 2050, we can send information back to that device we created on that day. We will of course, be able to send information back to any date post 1 Jan 2050, from any point in the future, because once the receiving device is invented and built on that date, it will be there each day after, and so forth.

My theory is that we haven't invented the proper receiving type devices, or machines, whatever you feel best suits the theory.

This is only my theory on time travel backwards in time. Once the receiver device is built, theoretically, we should also be able to send information forward through time, because the receivers are already there. I believe the limit on how far we can go forward into the future would be a measure of available power. The further from one date to another, either way, the more power required. I believe as well we're talking about power on the massive scale.

This is how I theorize the beginnings of time travel will occur.

I liked what Interstellar stated about time travel, what if as human's we have ability just to perceive time, but our physical construct is not perfect enough to attain this travel.

First we will have to re-construct ourselves to travel in Space, far before we can travel in time. The construct needed might involve moving to a different plane/dimension to accomplish this task.

Right now in our present form we can view the Stars and Time itself, but we frankly lack the ability and right construct.

[Grasp]

I just watched Interstellar for the first time last week. It was definitely thought provoking. Plus, I'm a giant nerd for anything about black holes.

I'd volunteer with zero hesitation to enter a black hole. I don't care about the theorized danger.

Can you imagine the possibilities!

[Omtose]

Step one:

Travel the stars ,we would need to change our physical construct to something that last's at least one million years at a minimum and can deal with the rigors of this travel. Be more on Geological time.

Step two:

In that form, through say somewhere between 350-500 generation's of future-man, about what it takes to get to the current industrial revolution. Future man finds a way to ascend to the next plane of existence.

The Problem:

The problem as stated by Asimov is that future race would have no idea the current man existed, just like we take our own cells for granted. They wouldn't consider it significant to ever send a message back by this point. Or if they did our perception would be so far removed from the signal it might appear as something else entirely.

[Grasp]

Oddly enough, you brought up Interstellar. It talks about Murphy's Law, "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."

Another way of stating this law is that "anything that can happen, will happen."

Even quantum physics plainly state the same mantra, "anything that can happen, will happen."

Odds are, given enough time, everything will happen, including our species manipulation of the time line.

ME: Dang it smell's great in my room. That smell's delicious.

Cue 5 minutes or so later: OH FUCK!! my food!!! nooooooo!!

Scrambles to the oven.

ME: It's somewhat edible, I think.

:Enjoying dried out bbq chicken sandwiches for dinner:

ME: Yum!!

I need time travel for those ten minutes back.

I wanted NyQuil. It's the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, aching, coughing, stuffy-head fever, so you can rest medicine.

Why choose post # 200? Just an arbitrary guess, or do you know more than you're letting on?

Yea, what would the post number have to do with it?

Because posts mean prizes.

The Monocle has disappeared, not having been awarded.

Is there a Giant #2 Foam Finger?

Disappeared because it wasn't claimed or destroyed by an action/post?

It is Day 1.
Day 1 is Over.

The recruits yammered. Or rather, one recruit yammered while the others tried to get a word in edgewise. In the end, they couldn't come to a consensus about which recruit needed to be booted, and all decided to be weak and go to bed.

Tomorrow was another day, after all.

Unless you're Hood's Path.

Hood's Path Wakes up Dead. He was ADemonLlama and an ordinary recruit.

The Monocle disappeared without having been claimed, but you search HP's body frantically for the Giant Foam Finger. He didn't have it.

So just to be clear, we're all considered recruits? Like, just cause you said HP was a recruit, doesn't mean that he got recruited by the Cult Leader?

So it seems. Default state is "recruit"

I'm not sure if I should still be answering every question so am playing it safe
