Professor Predicts Human Time Travel This Century

[Dusty Rhodes]

Gee, I wonder of we can get him to stop in the early 1940's at the Stetson Factory store in Philly? lol I wish him the best of luck though.

COOL!

I'm gonna buy me a ticket back into time soon as they're available!







Wait a minute,......maybe I already have?! [huh]

 

[J. M. Stovall]

Just don't get stuck there, or you'll be witness to the decline of fashion all over again. First the hippies, then leisure suits, closely followed by grunge and backwards ball caps.

 

[penfencer]

First stop: the 1939 New York Worlds Fair and a visit to the Westinghouse exhibit to see Elektro the Westinghouse Motoman and his dog Sparko.

You know what they say: Don't believe everything you read on the internet!

We're also said to be close to

True AI - The Singularity.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Ha ha. We'll see. First he needs to prove that time is a continuum.

time is a what ?

i go with the old argument....if time travel was a possiblity there'd be people visiting us all the time from the future dressed in tin foil belt back jackets (possibly).

 

[herringbonekid]

True AI - The Singularity.

if we create an artificial intelligence that surpasses the upper limit of human intelligence how will we know we've created it ?

This guy just wants government money to support his project

The key to this concept is contained in the following excerpt:

" With a brilliant idea and equations based on Einstein’s relativity theories, Ronald Mallett from the University of Connecticut has devised an experiment to observe a time traveling neutron in a circulating light beam. While his team still needs funding for the project, Mallett calculates that the possibility of time travel using this method could be verified within a decade.

A bunch of snake oil bull s***.!! And YOUR tax dollars no doubt, from some stupid endowment or government grant! No way! I say it is IMPOSSIBLE. Now back to a re run of STAR Trek.

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

No, of course they wouldn't,.........

time is a what ?

.....wear their own tin foil suits. They would wear vintage clothes to blend in!

The heck with all that mundane stuff. Send me back to 1955 so I can buy in on IBM and Xerox. I'll even settle for a trip to the track so I can bet on Seabiscuit.

 

[Bebop]

I have always wanted to travel back in time so I could predict the future and be thought of as some kind of wizard.lol Imagine what telling people the outcome of everything from ball games to assasinations to medical breakthoughs would be like. Not to mention the betting on sports. There would be studies of my brain preformed at universities.

 

[Mike K.]

I once had a few too many beers in college. The next thing I knew...it was a day later! Does that count as time travel?

If you never try you never succeed! Most government spending on science comes to nothing. But the few things we learn make it all worth while:

Who'da thought 25 years ago that we would achieve teleportation? Well, it's been done. The quantum computer is just around the corner ... pending funding

Can you please link me to more information? I'd like to know more.

Sitting here at my computer, surrounded by iPod, Cel phone, Tivo, etc., knowing that I can walk thanks to modern medical techniques, that nearly-blind folk can be given 20-20 vision, and that we have cracked the human genome and are very close to duplicating any specific human, well... I think just about anything will be possible in the future. Anything.

Just be sure you're ready to "pay your fare" fighting in a war! Unless you want to cop out and set the dial for 45...

running joke with my coworkers: Whenever they read aloud a news article about some depraved voilent act, I respond, "Wouldn'tve happened back in the 40s... Gonna build me a Time Machine..."

Besides who needs to give that guy funding, when they already show up on eBay from time to time

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

So that's a time machine???

As seen on ebay? I suppose you would put that band thing around your head, turn it on and tune it into the era of your choice with the knobs on the box. But what is that divining rod-looking thing for? It doesn't appear to be hooked to the box with wires. [huh]

By the way,....how much does one of these babies cost?

You can see this one in use in the movie "Napoleon Dynamite"- the T-shaped stick is connected to 120v AC and placed in the crotch area... (it didn't work very well in the movie, which BTW, was hilarious)

Put it this way.... Here's a blowup:

Still wanna know how much they run?

you're probably better off just visiting the Lounge or organizing your own local vintage events when you want to time travel... (and then you can still have children)

Okay,....

I'm Hep!lol
