Ah, the joy of a good steak, and baked potatoes. Well, while all of you are debating whether or not we should kill animals for food, I'm going to sit here and enjoy my steak, and baked potatoes. I learned a long time ago, that food is for eating, and if the creator did not want us to eat it, he...

Hey all... so the time travel forum was lost in time, eh? oh well. cie la vie, or would cie la temp be more appropriate? While I'm sure that at least a few of you have heard of Dr. Ronald L. Mallett's work at UConn, I'm sitting here watching one of those Discovery Science Channel shows...

Hello all. I'm presently on my first set of homework for my 2nd QM class, and am stuck on the degeneracy issue. I thought that I had a more comprehensive explanation of it in my notes from the first semester, but was not able to find them. I know that I'm suppposed to take the sum of the...

Bob, While time was "invented" by humans, that invention was only a means of keeping track of how life passed for those in the midst of it. Time existed long before we conceived of how to track it, or how existence passed for each individual. How can we explain the previous live's of those who...

1- the idea that we just haven't seen someone from the future, is a matter of the "pollution" of the timeline issue. 2- that we cannot travel faster than light, while a premise of present day physics, it still just hasn't been done yet. There is research being done that discusses the...

I know... Perhaps we need to contact the guys who wrote the Outer Limits' episode with Burgess Meredith, as a librarian. I think he had a watch that allowed him to stop time. Unfortunately, even he ended up breaking that watch--- while time was stopped. Oops!

You have to admit though, it provides a good laugh.

Yes, this traveler is the Jehovah(YHVH) of the OT, and the Jesus(YHshua) of the NT. No, definitely time travel is far from being his only "trick." As to omnipotence, that is just one of many attributes. Omniscience, righteousness, kindness, the list goes on for quite a while. But to spare the...

All of a sudden, it dawned on me. There really does exist one time traveler in history. For a number of reasons, he hasn't interjected himself into this time frame for the past two thousand years, but there was a time-- in ancient Israel-- when he did so, apparently, quite frequently. Let me...

I thought that was part of what we were discussing--- none of this has been proven. All of it is just hypothesis' and ponderings. The only real research that I've heard of on time is the work of Dr. Preston in Britain. And even then, I'm not aware of his more recent work...

Ok, Grizz. Obviously the directorate didn't watch ST4 when the crew went back to '84 and saved the whales. Nor did they watch TNG's episode on the crew's getting caught in the causality loop with Kelsey Grammar as the captain of an 80 yr old ship. I think that we could talk sci fi here all day...

Since Sol2 brought up the discussion of Dr. Maguiejo, has anyone been able to test his theories yet? I was able to get a copy of his first article, and presented it to my lower division physics prof. He poo pooed it as soon as I mentioned it. Obviously, guys like Dr. M. didn't get to where...

Imposiblities Hey, Shadowman. :surprise: For the past 100 years, we have accomplished more impossible things than any other point in human history. In theory, I'd generally agree that time travel would be highly infeasible. But with believers, nothing is impossible. Or more accurately...

cool? Actually, yes. It'd be interesting to say the least. Moreoever, while you may deny that, inside, after giving it some thought, even you will agree that it would be an interesting thought. Now, it is indeed written in our writings that "the natural man cannot comprehend the things of...

response to phobos. Well stated. And as a 16 1/2 year suvivor of cancer, I owe my life in part to the research that developed those MRI, CT, PET, and other medical scanners. And as part of my desire to learn about astronomy/physics, I too am in the beginning stages of developing a solution to...
