So then, if we figure out how to go back in time and change history will we wake up one day really confused because history has changed and we have not changed?.. or would we change too and not realize it... in that case history could be changed all the time and we wouldn't know it.
Maybe we already figured out time travel.. in the future.. and kept changing things and kept making things turn out worse everytime we tried to fix things and just finally went back in time, destroyed the time machine and took the people who built it into the future...

the scientists at CERN are praying others find a flaw in the data!

 
You are probably right on the mark. Next thing you know Newton will be wrong too. I just hope they find out that the earth is actually flat.. that would be embarassing.

You can't travel back in time. Everything that was is dirt now.

As were we all spacey. As were we all.

I'd like to go back to 1981 and take the money I blew on a trip to Europe and buy Microsquish stock instead...

(then I could have bought parts of Europe if I actually wanted part of it...)

A version of me from the future keeps showing up and it's always, "Don't do this, don't do that, do this, do that.".

The nerve of that guy! Drives me crazy.

At one time the wisdom of the day said the world was flat, then later they found it it wasn't.

Then the wisdom of the day said the sound barrier was an impenetrable  barrier and man would NEVER be able to fly faster than sound.....


Now, the current wisdom of the ages, (thank you Albert Einstein) that light is the fastest thing in the universe is being challenged. An entire science (physics), and the rules that were though unbreakable are now possibly going to be proven wrong. 

 Last time I checked, we are kinda stuck on this planet and have not really explored the whole universe to see if it is actually the case that nothing moves faster than light. 

 So it might very well be possible, that we are in the "slower" part of the universe where things have already expended their energy and have slowed down to a mere crawl from the speed they started at.  Kinda like rolling a bunch of marbles across the floor, and we just happen to be on the other side of the room and things are slowing down out here, as is everything around us.... hence the theory of relativity that everything around us is relatively slow...or fast, depending on your perspective. It's all relative to you, or Albert's math, also based on his observations of things around us... 

 Does that mean they will correct that F I got in physics?  Probably not. I guess some rules are still unbreakable. Like post count... I guess it really doesn't matter.

Herb,

At one time the wisdom of the day was "Bapu is unfunny".

Nothing has changed there.

Carry on.

ROTFLMAO.....


wait... did I say something wrong? 

Everything is a "speed limit" until you develop the technology to break it. Then whole new theories and sciences develop around that new discovery and then it's on to the next "speed limit". 

When we find something going faster than the speed of light, as we just might have done, it shakes up conventional thinking. 


So, as that toy in Toy Story says...... "to infinity and beyond"

… let’s wait and see, this one could end up in the Journal of Irreproducible Results along with cold fusion.

What I find humorous is that the Swiss can lob neutrinos at Italy in the name of science and nobody says a word.  If the Fermilab in Chicago targeted the east coast, every lawyer in New Jersey would be lining up to file a lawsuit.

To change everything, wouldn't Bapu need more than one hair cut (wouldn't he need all of them cut)?
