JoeyJoJo 18 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Physiology twice!Also, that's interesting that you and brv thought he traveled back in time. Like loogie, I assumed he went forward in time. I'm sure this says a great deal about us. You know, psychologically speaking. Link to post Share on other sites

When I first started this experiment, I think I was trying to use my pointer finger to type and my middle finger kept getting in the way, but eventually I figured out that I should be typing with my middle finger and less mistakes were made.

JoeyJoJo 18 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Yeah, that wasn't a typo, unfortunately.I know! I was just excited for double the physiology!Let's be honest, physiology is much more exciting than anatomy. Anatomy is just, like, body parts and stuff while physiology is...um, well, it's similar to anatomy, but, different. Science! Link to post Share on other sites

Anatomy is just, like, body parts and stuff while physiology is...um, well, it's similar to anatomy, but, different.It's actually a tough call...both are pretty cool.

vbnautilus 48 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 If he went back in time a couple days, without changing location, he'd be ahead of the earth on its path. If he goes forward in time just a couple days, without changing location, he will be just behind the new location of the earth. The arrow indicates that he is behind the earth on its trajectory. So I read the cartoon as saying he went forward in time by a small amount but remained in the same place. The other possibility is that he went forward or backward in time a large amount, to (X years + a couple days) backwards or forwards. Link to post Share on other sites

It's pretty simple maths, I had LLY code it for me a few years from now. Link to post Share on other sites
JoeyJoJo 18 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 The other possibility is that he went forward or backward in time a large amount, to (X years + a couple days) backwards or forwards.But he couldn't have traveled backward in time by a large amount because you can't travel back in time to a point before the time machine was created.

JoeyJoJo 18 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 False!Renowned physicist Dave Goldberg disagrees!2) You can't visit any time before your time machine was built.According to Einstein's picture of the universe, space and time are curved and very closely related to each other. This means that traveling through time would be much like traveling through a tunnel in space—in which case you'd need both an entrance and an exit. As a time traveler, you can't visit an era unless there's already a time machine when you get there—an off-ramp. This helps explain why we're not visited by time-traveling tourists from our own future. Futuristic humans don't drop in for dinner because we haven't yet invented time travel.
