Time Travel

Thanks to Mr King, I now (apparently) have to produce quality postings to
satisfy the void left by Mr Hall.

So where to begin? Being expected to produce quality puts a certain amount of
pressure on one.

How about Time Travel? What's that about?

Travelling in Time? Are we actually expected to believe that? That you can move
from one time period to another without moving in physical space? Yeah, right.

I mean, if you did move in time (but not space) then the Earth would have moved
in the interval and you'd end up in the void. Without a Spacesuit. Not pleasant, I can tell you.

And even if you did get the spatial coordinates right, you'd still have to reappear in place of whatever matter was in that position. Air? No problem. A wicker patio table? A little more challenging. How about one of those enamel Dalmations you can get in Art Stores? It's just stupid.

I'm not sure exactly who is supposed to have done this (NASA perhaps) but I find it highly unlikely. I think it would have been on the BBC News if something this important had been done for real. Maybe the BBC don't think it's that important? Or they did report it and I was out?

Although in theory, it should be possible to Travel in Time. There's no law of physics that says you can't. Or maybe there is. I don't really know, I hadn't really considered it until just now.

I'm gonna have to do some research into Time Travel and get back to you.

Yours in some confusion.

Michael

Isn't "Explain Time Travel Holidays you have been on this summer" one of the questions in your Quantum Physics OU papers?
