That penalty got me thinking. There is an infinite amount of fractions between any two points on a number line. That means there's an infinite amount of space between two points on the same plane. That also means there's an infinite amount of time between two points in time. If all that is true, the key to time travel isn't speed, but size. The same goes for multidimensional travel. Yay or nay?
how would you use this to skip in time? for the record its the most unfair penality there is they should just put the ball on the 1 yrd line if there is not enough to back it up the full amount of yards and trhen move the first down marker forward for whatever yards are remaining.
wrong. there is an infinite number of points between any two given points, not an infinite amount of space. the space is defined as distance, which is finite and easily measurable. same is true for time. it can be measured to nanoseconds. there is exactly one minute between 12:00 and 12:01 no matter how many times you divide it.
Really? Let's see here. How long does it take to walk 1/10 of a mile? Now how long does it take to travel that same distance 10 times your size? Same distance at 1/10 your size?
OK I see what your trying to do here. You want to quantify space and time. By making things bigger you are saying you can cover more distance in a shorter time. I dont think that works but I think I can at least see your theroy. Am I close to having it?
For the most part yes. FTR, I'm not saying its possible on a practical level. Instantly becoming bigger then traveling a distance and then instantly revert to original size should put you further in time. The opposite should be true as well.
You're wrong as there is a finite distance but if you 1/2 it it is infinite. Its called a limit. Gish is wrong as he is not understanding what you are trying to say which is if you halve the distance it will be infinite. Which is a limit. Both of you are wrong for having those hair cuts. Discuss.
You might want to rethink that. If I'm right, you're not half the height of a grown man but infinitely tall.
WORK = Force x Distance Force = mass x acceleration in your theroy, the only thing that changes is mass. higher mass means higher force, higher force means more work. Which means it takes more energy to move the same distance in less time. The opposite being true if you were smaller. Less energy, more time. Either way, there is no shortcut. To go faster you must exert more energy.
the idea of time travel is pretty stupid. time is a concept. it was created to keep track of things that happen and will happen. the idea that all the particles of the universe are also aware of this concept, is dumb. traveling faster than light doesnt make you go forward in time. it simply gets you somewhere before the light from which you came. time his still moving at the same "pace". after all, isnt time just the speed of the universe? a relative syncronization of how fast everything moves? traveling through time is about as likely as shoving a turd up your butt and having an undigested NY Strip come out your mouth.
I think he is talking more about volume then mass. Bigger does not have to be heavier. Either way even in theroy I dont see it as possible.
Time is a relative relationship between speed and distance. It might be possible to manipuilate it but I agree it seems unlikely right now.
If we're talking about a person, then why would you assume that the amount force their muscles could exert would remain the same regardless of their size?
I don't know about all this time travel stuff, but "Half the Distance to the Goal" would make an incredible album title.
Time exists. How exactly to measure it is debateable, but it does exist. Time travel I do not believe is possible in the way most people think about it. But through the multiverse I believe it to be possible. If the multiverse theory is correct.
what? i didnt say that it would remain the same. obviously a large person exerts more force than a small person. but that also requires more energy. that person must consume more calories because they burn more calories while doing more work. let me ask you this. if the amount of "time" it takes for the earth to revolve was not constant, then how would we measure time? After all, every time increment we have is based upon an earth day. an hour is 1/24th of an earth day. a minute is 1/60th of an hour. a second is 1/60th of a minute. If we had no constant to compare these things to, would time exist at all? The idea that all matter can return to a previous state just because we know it once existed in that state is stupid. And the idea that we could fast forward to states of matter that dont even exist yet is even dumber. Parallel dimensions are dumb. Alternate universes are within the realm of possibility, but to think that they mirror this one is dumb. If time travel were possible, who would be the most likely person to have achieved it? I'll give you a hint. He can turn water to wine, walk on water, and rise from the dead. He also promised he would "return to earth". Anyone think Jesus Christ was the most successful time traveler of alltime, creating a worldwide change in belief, causing countless future wars and deaths waged in his honor, and changing the world in ways not even he could have foreseen, perhaps erasing his own existence? I dont think so either. But I think its more likely than other theories.
If you were able to travel in time you'd also better be able to travel through space. If you moved back 6 months for example, the earth would be on the other side of the sun, a sun which would be around 2 Billion miles away from where it is now due to how fast it's moving through the milky way, and that's before you calculate the galaxies movement.
Exactly. Every particle in the universe needs to collaborate to make this happen. Unfortunately the universe isn't TiVo.
but think about this: if a guy on a planet 1 light year away was watching a group of bro's was holding a light year long stick, and he suddenly got jabbed in the groin by said stick, he would have to wait a year to watch and see who actually poked him in the jewels. you get a full year with no bro repercussions!
