The Bump Thread

I think the underlying plot of it is unbelievable and there are so many issues with it, but I love it anyway.
Like, if the doctor can see everything that happened and will happen and that could happen, then why are they ever surprised? Wouldn't he just be like a robot carrying out the actions that he sees? Also, why would, for instance, Rose say her mother would have seen her with her father as he died because she went back in time to change the past, but later in the episode at the hospital (first episode, second new season) that woman played the video of herself at that party but it didn't show her with herself in that man's body. That's such a HUGE inconsistency. The only time travel that makes sense to me that I've ever read or seen was Jo Rowling's in Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban.

Time travel is a sci fi plot staple...no one ever seems to get it compltely right though. I was watching the final episode of Star Trek Voyager last night and kept thinking to myself "How in the heck does this work" lol.

The problem with temperal mechanics is that its all theoretical...theres no way to know how exactly time travel works until we actually acomplish it. It isn't anything I'd like to mess with though!

I don't want to mess with it either!

*bump*

Actually... I had 2 "bumps" removed yesterday!
Well... a lump and a mole to be exact!

For now those bumps have been replace with stitches!

Quantum and theoretical physics are strange indeed! Although, very interesting! It kind of goes with metaphysics a bit.

We've already got the math for what time *is* mathematically (no! really?!

). We need to figure out a way to go through it or around it or whatnot. People just can't figure out what direction time goes, how one experiences it, etc.

That's where it gets into metaphysics. "As the boundaries for experiencing time are removed, so is its relevancy" is a quote that I've read recently and find intriguing. Also, suppose you are traveling at the speed of light. (Remember, this is *supposed*) Since it seems to be agreed that time slows as you approach the speed of light and stops AT the speed of light it has been brought up that maybe time ceases to exist all together. Interesting! On to read more Parmenides, Xeno, Plato, Augustine, and such..

Although I wonder if time stops at the speed of light then how can we reasonably measure its speed? Part of the problem with time as you said we don't understand how time works in relation to how we percieve it works. For all we know, we have it completely backwards (or sideways even!) We percieve time in a series of causes and effects that progress in a linear fassion but have no answer as to how going backwards will effect that progression. Some theories suggest that even the act of going back in time will irreversibly change the "present".
I wonder if going back in time will alter ones perception of what the present is? There are so many variables, the only thing we can do is speculate the enorimity of the effect that time travel will have.
If there is a time travel experment, I'm not going to be one of the people that signs up lol

Oh and Bump

Yay! It's Friday!

Krissy, I am at school right now typing this. I will have to bring up your points in the metaphysics class which is in 55 (cinquante-cinq

) minutes.

I took some notes of my own, doing my own searches, and finding my own sources, so I could bring it up in class this past Wednesday. Wouldn't ya know it, the teacher wanted my notes!

It was odd and hilarious!

I will type a reply to your question when I am at home.

Right now, I must go see if I can purchase a stapler here!

**smokey the elder** · 10-10-2008, 02:42 PM

I don't have any pearls of wisdom to offer, just a BUMP!

I have no idea why but your comment reminded me of this stupid/funny utube video called Schfifty Five.

I look forward to your reply...you should pop into my faith discussion thread over in the DH and add your two cents there too

. I'll probibly be asleep for a little bit here for work then I'll be up around 8-9ish and on the computer until I gotta leave. Working at midnight is so much fun!
