Back to the Future

[RU OX Alum]

that's interesting, you make good points

I think time travel is possible, but not into the past or the future as they relate to events, only in time/space itself. For example: You could say, by going really fast around the earth backwards (superman rules) probaply "go back" in time, meaning physichally the world will be less old when you land, but "the past" won't be able to be redone. In other words, what's already happened will forever have already happened, but it could be possible that it happened sooner than it did. Or could be manipulated to be sooner.

That's why I think going forward in time is more interesting. You'll still be your same age now like 1,000 years from now (futurama rules) but you wouldn't be able to bring back stock quotes or anything to get rich or maybe you could but that would depend on everything that was going to happen happening anyway, because even if it were possible to navigate into the future timelines of the human experience, you would only see one possible future based on one possible timeline that could easily be thrown off by you simply being there.

LOL, that is why I loved the Star Trek shows, they could do both ways!

It basically breaking down the human molecular structure and sending on beam impulses and then restructuring at the final destination!

Will be done one day, well that will be interesting but way after I am gone!

I can't think of the room they could go to on Star Trek The Next Generation. It was some kind of virtual reality room where everything was real. Do you guys know what I'm talking about? I wish we had that now.

Holodeck.

I took a class in college that dealt heavily with theoretical time-travel. It was a three-hour block once a week, and every time I left the classroom I thought my head was going to explode.

Yep! That's it! The Holodeck.

Don't know the room name, but, didn't they do this on the original show or were they just transported?

I think on the original show they were just transported. I really didn't get into the original show. Their space suits were laughable.
