Ok just to clarify my earlier post about math 'lying':
Up until the advent of quantum mechanics, everyone thought that the precision of any measurement was limited only by the accuracy of the instruments the experimenter used. Heisenberg showed that no matter how accurate the instruments used, quantum mechanics limits the precision when two properties are measured at the same time.
Hope that clears it up for all of you. lol

Uh.....no, you lost me there. I'll just go with, math can appear to lie when things are too complicated and have lots of variables.

Ah how is this possible, we are discussing quantum mechanics and measurement accurracies on a game forum. Shame on you mrtimbre. ;D
Just kidding. ;)
I don't know nothing about quantum mechanics so I guess I can better shut up about it. :-[

All I know is that it proves time travel IS plausable. i know only the science part of it though, none of the mathimatical stuff that goes with it, lol.

zephyrblade: it's not what you posted about any more because we discussed it for the first two pages, then you never posted again til now, so we started to get off topic.
Luffy: Time travel is an impossibility. The laws of physics prove that going backwards in time in not feasible, because time is a unchanging variable.

Well, how do you explain time be affected by gravity? Such as it supposedly being slowed the closer you get to a "black hole". If it can be slowed or sped up, then it is techinically possible to go backwards... just not in the sense most thing. You could go near.. say a year passes for you, and 10 years pass outside. You come out, and you have in a sense gone back 9 years in time.. although you can never get back to the 9 years past it, until those 9 years have passed..

In that scenario you will have gone forward in time. But other than that what you said is very true. The only problem is having the ability to
get back out.

its kind of a paradox.. you have, to the people on earth been gone 10 years. but to you 1. so from someone elses point of view, you have gone back in time. but to you, you have gone forward 10 years...

But still, putting Einstein's theories aside, time travel is an impossibility.

Time travel is possible, because we have no d**n clue how the universe works. We can't properly explain black holes, and numerous other things. Now, the way science fiction depicts time travel is impossible, but time travel itself is possible, as you would only need to create an influx at a single point in time which wuold cause what is known as an improbability jump, which would put you somewhere else in time, and possibly space at random (of course, it may turn you into a duck, but eh.). If that could be properly harnessed, you could travel in time. This cannot be disproven, therefor it is true (theories can only be disproven, not proven. Basic science 9th grade. So until we have evidence that says otherwise, I'm right.)

The lobster got warped to an alternate deminsion where it had to use Kung Foo and Tai Chi to save a race of humanitarian vegitbles called mice! Lol, jk.

Well yeh Luffy, but the energy you'd need to generate the magnetic field to create an influx in time and space would be so massive we'll never be able to do it any time soon. Maybe in a million years, if human civilization is still around, we'll do it. But until then... all we have are theories.

If you could even tap the smallest solar flares off the sun... that could power it.. so imagine tapping a nova star..  |

Well yes, but as I said, it's an impossibility right now.
