Gonzagafan2021 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 With so many technological and scientific advancements within the past few years it would be cool for us to have the ability to travel back in time. If I could go back in time and change something I would make sure that China doesn't turn communist and the KMT win the civil war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tspoke Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The only way it may be possible at some point is backward through time to when the time machine was activated. And I'd say that is unlikely. But chances of moving backward or forward through time Willey nilly I think is impossible. Why? Stephen hawking held a party for time travelers and its well known about..... And nobody came. The type of time travel I'm talking about is in the movie "Primer". If you want your brain to hurt I'd suggest it. The first time I watched it I came across it in TV while I was doing something else so the endung/climax hit and I thought "wow I must have missed a lot I need to watch this again" watched it again paying close attention, the end hit and I was just as confused. But it's good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's good. Yeah I love that movie but it is impossible to figure out. Shot the whole thing on like $8k budget. There’s a book called “Recursion” with a sort of similar plot device but based more along the lines of memory. I thought it was pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happycamper Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I mean we already have lots of them lol. I mean we are time travel machines ourselves. Go run outside. Congrats, you are a little bit in the future compared to if you sat on the couch. Just all our time travel machines are really slow compared to our perception lol Quote Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

son of a gun Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Anyway, to make it even somewhat feasible, the inventor would have to account for not only their location on Earth and screwing with the time stream (which is a whole different can of worms), but also Earth's location in 4D space. Mathematics was never my strong suite, but in time, it may be possible to calculate that, and then work on the time machine itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured you'd go back and prevent Netflix from existing, this ending the streaming wars before they started. By a few years anyway.
