tizz Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Can anyone else see why I DON'T come to this place to debate philosophical theories? GEE how did I know this is what I would run into if I did LOL Last time I go there in this place. Like I said, HE is the one who posed the question.

tizz Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 That is WRONG! Do you believe in MightyMouse? 1) Color is a wavelength of light that reacts with the cones of the cornea to produce an electrochemical response to the occiptal lobe of the cerebrum via the optic nerve. (if we only believe it is true, then it is, of course) OK I am not going to bother bringing evidence (you won't read it) and I am not going to even attempt to explain any further the basics (you cannot comprehend anyway) Of course I believe in MightyMouse (doesn't everyone?") And no color does not exist, it is simply a reflection that every person perceives differently. To one person it is red, to another it may be Grey. Only a wavelength exists. (we simply label everything in order for our brains to process what little we DO have the ability to comprehend, which in your case is EXTREMELY limited) And of course UnderDog will kick ALL their asses (except of course for Buzz Light year) Quote "An intelligence that is not humane is the most dangerous thing in the world" Ashley Montague "No one should have to walk alone" Phuong Du "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind" Ghandi "If I were asked to define an American in a single phrase, I would say 'An American is a person who has the right to be different' and I think that right is growing" William Manchester

ToriAllen Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Alright. I can see it is time for another lesson. Time travel in the forward direction is possible, but not in the reverse. Einstein believed this. This has to do with the theory of relativity. I had it explained this way and I will do my best to relay it back to you. When you are on a train that is going 60mph and you are walking five miles an hour then a person watching the train sees you as moving at 65mph. However, if you turn on a flashlight while the train is moving, the speed of light is the same for both you and the bystander. The speed of light is a constant. Einstein could not explain this. This would mean if a person could travel at the speed of light the person may be able to travel into the future. It is hard to grasp and there is a lot more to it, but keep this in mind: Quote Smart men learn from their own mistakes; Wise men learn from others. I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
tonon Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 so if you travled into the future, you could never come back? that sucks. what about if you phsychologically made yourself really believe you were from, lets see, 1995 or something. maybe that would work? Quote p1010226

Nicole Kidman Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Time travel is possible, unfortunately, I haven't figured out a way to power my Flux capacitor with the 1.21 gigawatts of electricty it requires, so I can go back in time even further and pick some better powerball/keno numbers, then slingshot to my REAL life in 2325. . Here in this century, it is much different from my time. Jesus made his second coming in 2128, according to our history book, and he united all religions of the world into one massive peacefull planet. Unfortunately, he was unable to include the Muslims in his spiritual endevour, for you see, they were wiped out in 2101 when the earth ran out of fossil fuel and America did away with it's oil for food welfare program. My purpose for coming back was to convert A.I.G. to Diesm before the big Jesus thing happens. . . Mofo, you stole my answer! I watched BTTF just yesterday. Quote

Mohammed_Rots_In_Hell Posted October 4, 2005 Author Posted October 4, 2005 Tori, Question for you: If you could send a team of astronauts to a distant star system,say 20 light years away, and you accelerated them to near the speed of light (.999 c) and were able to keep them from splattering on the walls. and then bring them back home. They would age insignicantly and we would have aged 40 years. Couldn't you also send another team of astronauts very far out, say 900,000 light years and bring them back as well, they would also age insignifantly, and the earth would age 1.8 million years when they return. It also seems possible to be able to send another team to another galaxy (billions of light years away) and be able to bring them home before they naturally expire?

tonon Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 the butterfly effect was good, it kind of reminded me of me when i was a kid. my "friend" ricky used to be kind of a jerk to me, but his mom and my mom knew each other so we used to go over each others houses. then this girl krista we used to know and i liked, we got to know each other pretty good, but i saw less and less of her until i never saw her again, in fact im not even completely sure if thats her name, but you get the point. i dont even know these people anymore but at one time we knew each other very well. i could pass these people on the street and not even know it. the somewhere in time movie was good too.

Would it be possible to send a team of astronauts to another galaxy and bring them back? Is that it? I really don't know. I suppose it depends on how far away this other galaxy would be? Even at the speed of light, the light from most stars takes thousands or even millions of years to reach us. Even if there was a galaxy close enough for them to be able to travel there and back, there would be no guarantee that the Earth would still be here when they returned. Event Horizon was another good one. Quote Smart men learn from their own mistakes; Wise men learn from others. I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
