Where's the fun in that though? Isn't 50% simply just chatting for the sake of chatting? I think it is.
And anyways - discussing space/time etc is as about as 'rational' a conversation as we can have - I'd argue in any case.
As for time travel - I don't think it is possible (yes, duh!).
But Ive got a slightly different take on why not - people tend to use the example of a logical paradox - how can you have a conversation with yourself? If you do something to your grandad etc etc etc.
But how about this one? Thinking of 'matter'. You'd need to remove, say, 75kg of matter from time frame 'a' - and place it in time frame 'b'. Doesn't this create some sort of 'conservation/balance' issues - in that you assume that e=mc2 - and therefore (IMO) you'd assume (OK, my conjecture) that at any given moment in time - the total energy/matter totality/balance etc remains constant.
So, is it scientifically/physically/theoretically possible to transport matter from one 'time' frame to another without breaking any rules regarding 'balance' as such?
Even if it was simply a chunk of rock - but then again - it would still be tricky to do (

- can't beleive I said that, tricky?).
For instance - you (somehow) invent something that you think can teleport a chunk of rock 1 hour into the future. You put it in - it disappears - and it reappears 1 hour latter. I can't see how thats a concept that clashes with 'relativity' as such - in that the rock is just experiencing '0' time whilst you are experiencing '1 hour' of time - then the two 'densities' of time get remerged - if you've followed how I think about these things. But then would it 'visually' disappear?
for example - if you were to use a mechanical clock - or one of those funny fluid things were you see a purple liquid/oil dropping from the top and going down a ramp or two - would you simply see it stop for an hour - before restarting again - or would it disappear totally?
I'll cheer up Gene at this point and revisit a previous thread for a bit

Why would this place just for 50% pointless chatter? I come to exchange info and experiences, and have a laugh along the way ... not to see how everyone is doing. I have MSN and such to ask people about what theyre at today and all the fun stuff you love to talk about to one another. To many different people this place is a lot of things, and to each one of us it's different. What each of us want it to be and what it is is also different. So I guess my want for the majority of serious conversation, at least serious topics, is pointless. I can have fun, but when the thread starts out by asking something that talked about in the last little while, "where's the fun in that?"
You don't need to entertain me and go visit another thread ... but that's your business and I can't make you do it. I've read your posts and I notice that you don't state what pops into your head off the bat ... you at least look like you know what you're talking about. So this wasn't intended for you ... more along the lines of the people who don't wish to use the search on this page ... or even Google, Yahoo or whatever other search engines there are. My first day on this forum I learned how to use the search feature because I didn't want to look stupid.
I guess I'm no longer new to this place and now that I've spent hours upon hours here everyday for the last 8 or 9 months, I've come accostomed to the same topics being posted and going nowhere and I guess lately I'm getting sick of them. But it's not my place to do anything about it ... and "if I don't like it I can skip over it". Wrong ... thanks to a few hard a$$es around here, my brain got kicked into gear when thinking about a topic. I'm just passing on the favor. Sorry if it seems harsh and pointless to some .... but when the newness wears off you'll be doing the same.
Cheers,
Gene
