  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Sorry, Matt. It may have been too obscure. When I taught the play, I loved the baiting of Caesar that Shakespeare crafted. I replied to your OP to play the fool and was hoping someone would try to talk me into going forth to the Senate yesterday.

Ah, it's a forum.

You know what's funny it looks like today's English so hard to tell. Very impressive that you know the play so well. I now have to watch Renaissance Man again. It is not the Ides of March, so you are safe.

Yes you could use a positive feedback loop with a time machine to achieve infinite wealth.

Again, the moral of Back to the Future.

Actually I found my position on time travel reinforced yesterday in Brian Greene's Fabric of the Cosmos: he also believes the only way to go back in time is to have a receiver, and even then only information could be sent. SO no one will be able to go back in time ever, and not send messages until the first time-message receiver is built -- and then never farther back than the receiver.

There's a sci-fi novel based on that; the moment these guys build a receiver for messages from the future and turn it on, they get a message instead of their test pattern.... :D

My mind is in hyper today or something . . . .

I recall reading a sci-fi short story called "Beware the Tides" -- the captain of an interstellar scout ship gets told "Beware the Tides of March" by a wizened old woman on a space station . . . .
The story goes on to involve a black hole. :D

I've always viewed time as a river we're adrift in, with eddies and currents, but for the most part flowing in one direction. Time machines, like boats, could flow forward relatively easy, but backwards against the current would be choppier, and take more power.

Except with time, the "current" is made up of forces acting in dimensions we can't even touch.

At one time flight, the sound barrier, and going to the moon was out of reach.

Those were in the same physical dimensions. To travel backwards in time would be similar to an ant trying to crawl to the moon dragging an elephant: there's nothing to grab onto, and he can't handle that much weight in the first place.
 
Alnitak said:
Both of these involved engineering questions in temporal and spatial dimensions. The extra dimensions proposed by string theory are intangible.

Yep. Another way to put it would be a dog in a picture trying to chase a ball outside the window in the surf -- the dog is stuck in two dimensions, the ball is in three and not even in contact with the dog's two . . . and it's being tossed around by various forces.

On the physics note, a major discovery is set to be announced today. Speculation says gravity waves have been detected.
 
Alnitak said:
Speculation is fun but often wrong, though Einstein is probably correct and gravity waves exist from the early universe.

Still exciting what it was. More neutrinos are detected at night than during the day. One plausible explanation is that they change flavor.

And I just watched a Star Trek NG episode where they did neutrino detection . . . I wonder how that could be done on a vessel with only that limited space. :D

Extremely dense matter. Neutron star densities could put a neutrino detector in a smaller area than the period at the end of this sentence.
