Time travel

"Emergency temporal shift!"

"Exterminate!"

With my new PVR, I can reverse time travel on TV when I want, as much as I want, anytime I want. The only thing I can't do is travel forward. Why are you guys complicating things so much with talk of earth position and the such. The Earth will move back in time when you do so there's no ending up in space. The problem lies in when you go back to the wrong spot in time. I just did and ended up watching a Gilligan's Island marathon. I was hoping for Leave it to Beaver. I bought my Tardis from a guy in a white van. Did I do something wrong? He looked honest and said it was genuine.

@Galu Precisely.

I'm now thinking about watching "Groundhog Day" this evening.

There's also "Next" with Nicolas Cage and "About Time".

Or "Deja Vu" with Denzel. And of course, "Time after Time".

@Cal The guy in the white van was the Master....

 

[Galu]

What did I do wrong?

You're using the wrong remote control with that PVR!

I ran out of plutonium.

Appearing in the same space as air would be a minor issue compared to appearing in the same space as a brick wall. Why are you asking, have you completed a time machine and investigating potential issues before pressing the go button?

I always run my time machine designs through SpiceLT first, I mean, that seems to have worked for my other projects. Trouble is, it ended back in Windows 5... and ran out of memory

I sell software and you would be shocked how many people still run XP.

I read too much science fiction but one book had time travel limited to such a small interval that you would appear 44ft away from where you began due to the earth's movement, but you were duplicated. Now that would help with projects.

Einstein talked a lot about time and space.
Is there really such a thing as time or do we just exist in the same time slot permanently ?
And time is just a human perception of their environment ?

 

[Galu]

Now we're getting philosophical!

"Gilligan's Island. You think you hate it now, wait 'til you've watched it for twelve hours..."

I got involved in astronomy because my father said I was great at taking up time and space.

I ran out of plutonium.

I thought it was available in every corner dime store in the country.

It works, doesn’t ask for money every month, or bug you about updates every 45 minutes.

And never crashes running Virtual DJ.

 

[mhenschel]

I helped an office of architects run their computers for a decade.

XP was great.

 

[Bigun]

I never thought I'd live to see the day people looked back affectionately at Windows, in any form!

 

[mhenschel]

It's not affection.
It was XP.
It's all relative.

@Galu
Good one!

I'll see your Morlocks and raise you a squadron of Daleks.
[I'd put a picture in here but I've yet to insert a picture successfully... sigh]

I see your squadron of Daleks, and raise you Ace with a base ball bat.

Do you folks not watch "Outlander"?

Yeah, but not for the intricate details of how time travel might or not work.
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone

 

[wg_ski]

I’ve watched religiously, and anxiously awaiting what they do with it next. Whether or not causality can be violated. If it can’t, then history as we know it is destined to repeat. If it can, then *anything can happen* in the American Revolution the 2nd time around.
