Only time travel to the future is possible. For example I will time travel one hour into the future and it will take me one hour to get there
Unless you’re traveling close to the speed of light!
It still takes you an hour, it just takes everyone else near infinitely longer.
Slowing down the metabolism seems the mistake realistic thing we might be able to do to something like time traveling.
Langoliers?
is THAT what that was about?
I only ever watched the first half of the TV movie. Second half never really seemed to air, or it really failed to explain anything.
Yeah, they fly through some “portal” or whatever and end up in the previous day. Then langoliers show up to devour it. There’s some other madness going on, too. You know, typical Stephen King shit.
Because the langoliers got them?
> go back in time > "no one is there" > change plans > change SPAS12 to a barrel of petrol > go to the moment when Thomas Mathus has been born > pour everything with it > the whole Malthus family dies > go back to the present > it's now a utopia without neoliberal capitalism and/or the world-wide rise of fascism
you can easily return to the past
but a tree used to be there where you are and now you’ve impaled it
Well, if we follow that logic, then where you end up is the emptiness of space, even if you go back exactly one year.
People tend to forget that the Earth not only goes around the sun, but the whole system is moving, so Earth is not in the same place as it was a year ago, even if it is relative to the sun.
I think that brings up the question of how do we go about establishing an absolute position? If everything is moving, what isn’t?
Everything being relative is a hell of a thing.
NGL, this sounds pretty awesome.
Give me just a couple of minutes in either direction, I’m golden.
No one? Really? That sounds like heaven! is very introverted
Langoliers but worse special effects
I think you mean better…
I think you mean heresy
Reminds me of white Christmas from black Mirror
