Time Travel is a Reality!
 
Seriously! I did an experiment the other night and it worked.

Last Saturday, I built a time travel circuit, and installed it in my car. I calibrated the flux capacitor to trigger at 70mph though; 88mph is bit over the speed limit and didn't want to get into trouble. I also syncronized my watch against my GPS.

I then waited until late Saturday night to test it out to so there would be less traffic. So, I found a nice straight section of highway, and when I didn't see any cars in the distance, accelerated gradually checking my watch and GPS clocks every so often. When I reached my 70mph target, nothing obvious happened, but I really didn't know what to expect to be honest.

At this point, my exit was coming up so I slowed down and took a chance to compare my watch and GPS. I was ecstatic to discover that my watch and GPS were no longer syncronized and was showing the time from one hour previously! I went back to the house to tell myself it was a success, but I wasn't there. So, I decided to try the test again, but to my disappointment, it would not work. I must have overloaded the flux capacitor.

OK, maybe the time change had something to do with it. :whistle:

Yeah, that was a pretty lame buildup, but I was watching Back to the Future the other night and when Dr. Brown unveiled his "flux capacitor", I mused that this device has been in existence for many many many years already! Click here to see a nice selection of cheap flux capacitors.

:yes: :oops:

So you're saying flux capacitors are that cheap? Holy time traveler! Why didn't I know this sooner?

I need to go back in time and have fun with a few of those chicks I turned down earlier in life!

Boring! I'll be more impressed when you get Mr Fusion working.

Good one, Brian! :lol:

BrianG 03.16.2010 03:19 PM

lol, think about it: What is a flux capacitor? A capacitor is something that stores a charge, right? So, a flux capacitor simply stores [magnetic] flux. An inductor/coil/choke stores energy in a magnetic field, and when the supply is removed, that field collapses and "puts that energy" back into the circuit. :lol:

I time traveled Saturday night also, except I used alcohol and an overload of visual and audio to achieve the effect.:party:

I drive a time machine when I have to commute. I can leave at 8AM and reach my destination at 8AM that's 60 miles away. (Oh wait does crossing into another time zone not count?)

My laptop is a time machine...whenever I'm on RCM I'm going back to yesterday...or should that be you guys are looking a my futuristic posts?

shaunjohnson 03.16.2010 04:52 PM

believe it or not what you said has some truth to it!:surprised:
according to what we were talking about in physics class the other day...

if you move away from a stationary atomic clock at any speed then check your wrist atomic clock watch and had super vision, they would be different.
only by less-than-half-a-bees-dick but they would be different :oh:

how's that for creepy.

crazyjr 03.16.2010 05:30 PM

From what i interpret, anytime you are moving you are slowing time. I watched something on history or the science channel, in the late 50's or early 60's they linked two atomic clocks and put one on a plane. After the flight, the clocks were not synched

bigsteel 03.16.2010 05:40 PM

i guess if time and space are truly timespace then moving in space affects your relative time like lightspeed but as far as nasa will tell us,thats only in forward. lol --josh

I drive fast so I can live longer. :smile:

The truth will set you free.:yes: You never turned any chicks down now did you?:rofl: Don't you mean chicks that turned you down?:na:

Anyway nice little spoof BG. Just with the thread name we knew it was a trick from the start.

Sorry Brian but I have been wondering this for a while, I can understand your aversion to fans but what do you have against paint? Are you running with transparent bodyshells now?

Actually, yes. The avatar was really a joke because of a pic I posted in another thread showing 2 out of 3 clear shells. But, I actually do run them clear because it takes too long/too much effort to paint them just to wreck them first time out. So, unless the vehicle comes painted, or it is just a shelf-queen (like my GTP has been), I run naked shells. :smile:
