... some of you might get the somewhat esoteric reference.

Sometimes, in my mind, yesterday is tomorrow—or should be.

Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated?

All I know for sure is Today is Tomorrows' Yesterday

Some Star Trek stuff is becoming reality so I am going to say, if it was done on the show, it will happen in real life. I just won't be alive when it does.

How else to explain Regis Philbin.

Sure, but we could never perceive it.

That's a lot of pesto.

Yes, but not in any way that we currently perceive it.

Time travel to the future is demonstrably possible. We do it every day at a rate of 1 minute per minute. However, special relativity dictates that we can travel at virtually any faster rate as long as we speed up moving through space. If you travel at a speed close enough to the speed of light, you could, potentially, fly away from Earth and then back in (say) a year of your time, and find that the Earth and all of its stationary inhabitants have aged hundreds of years.

Not all time-travel SF stories are 'crappy'.

Quote

Maybe, it is not possible to know for sure

Better: "Maybe, but unlikely, given what we know about the universe. But then, we know very little."

Best: "The possibility must be kept open, if only to inspire more good SF time-travel stories."

if it was possible, wouldn't someone from the future have come back by now to tell us about it.

Somewhere I have an ancient Flash comic where he gets on a treadmill and runs faster than the earth is turning in the same direction, thus sending him into comic book future. Think Superman did much the same thing in one story when he flew around the earth in the opposite direction of its spin to go back in time.

Only if there is a future.



Course, maybe there is no compelling reason to travel back ......

Maybe someone did, then someone else went back and stopped that person. Hmmmmmmmm.....

I tend to subscribe to the "Multiverse" theory. But it's all mathematics far beyond my damaged brain's ability to understand (and perhaps my undamaged brain's ability... I mean, I did get through Differential Equations, but I sucked at it.)

I'm still getting a grip on the whole "Spaceship Earth" thing put forth back in the sixties and seventies. If this is "Spaceship Earth" we're on, why in the hell are we traveling in circles?

Cheers!
