Space Commander Travis Posted June 6, 2017 #111 Share Posted June 6, 2017 56 minutes ago, acute said: How does the Antikythera Mechanism work? Well, it's a "stationary mass, temporal displacement unit powered by two top-spin, dual positive singularities", producing a "standard off-set Tipler sinusoid".. But be careful not to take it over 88 mph because the brakes are lousy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh.... So gravity repels things now, does it. When was the last time you dropped something on the floor and it missed? Are you talking about Aunty-Gravity or Anti-Gravity?
