Time Travel is a Reality!

[BrianG]

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.

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.

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!

[BrianG]

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.

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

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]

believe it or not what you said has some truth to it!
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

how's that for creepy.

[crazyjr]

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

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.

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

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.
