    If you made a time machine that was stationary, that instead of travelling through time, just sped it up, you could overcome that transport issue.

    If you traveled that fast you would be going faster that the speed of light, if you weren't dead already, you could never die because you're going so fast that anything that touches you will disintegrate including bullets, knives, etc. So you would eventually die of starvation.

    Is there a reason you can't slow down or something?
    I don't know why but my friend is a genius at these things (he told me about this). Professor Carty (not really)
    He also took some parts from a microwave and made a microwave gun. Of course he put a metal wall between him and the waves, or else...
    Then he took 11 microwaves to make a cannon and liquefied a tree in 30 seconds!
    Of course then the power company called because he had used 2 days worth of energy in 30 seconds :shocked:

    How is that possible, it can't have been plugged in if it could hit a tree, and it can't have used electricity if it wasn't plugged in.

    With a tiny meltdown that burns your flesh and gives you cancer.
    Technically it would be Timex L.L.C.

    Technically, if you had a reactor on your wrist you wouldn't live long enough to get cancer.

    No -- they've solved this problem. They've come up with a new kind of alloy that is lightweight and yet can shield one from the radiation of a reactor the size of a mustard seed.

    if there was a black hole, it would take in everything, even light, so would this include changing the amount of time for things to reach us and make us go through time??

    meh that makes little sense to me aswell

    relativity breaks down in infinite gravity. so yea i don't really knows how physics work in a black hole, whether quantum physics or general relativity theory is applied. maybe time just stops in a black hole

    Obviously it's Nimro Klims. He heard about the site (probably from Udoboy) and decided to subvert us all. Be afraid, be very afraid.

    so Nimro Klims is a satanic alien

    it is posisble to travel forward in time currently by the slowing of one's measured time in conjunction with gravity to another's constant in time; however into a past or dimension, this may prove imposisble; difficult to say the least

    it's not so much the question of whether one may travel to and fro in time, rather, it's what actions or inactions would one perform, i.e., observer or participant

    interesting. So you discount the debate of whether the premise is valid and want to discuss the details.

    Sort of like, Forget that I'll be stretched to death as I approach a black hole. Once I land on the surface of it, will I be able to pick a dime up off the sidewalk?

      CommentAuthorzymurgy

    let's hope for dimes; it'd be a shame if it were pennies. Conversely, I like stretching; although I'm not sure how safe it is in the dark.

    I don't disagree that the details; the hypotheticals, are in fact important when considering something such as this. However, perhaps it is because of this very oversight that we have as of yet been able to build and travel back in time with a machine.

    I suspect something on the surface of a black hole (not the event horizon, but the surface itself) would have nearly infinite weight.

    • CommentAuthor5010
    • CommentTimeMar 20th 2007
     

    Yes, and the cosmic forces of such weight cause nearly infinite flatness, meaning the surface quickly becomes nearly infinitely smooth as well as nearly infinitely reflective, but the reflected energy cannot escape the event horizon so any energy just bounces between the surface and the horizon, producing nearly infinite heat and brightness.

    It's like 9-11 times infinity.
