My time machine...

[Davee]

Is now in working order. I was sort of wondering if we should all go back to this time tomorrow. Bit like saving the game in Championship Manager, playing another game and quiting to play it again should you lose.

Well, we now have that option.

I was just thinking how many 'Groundhog days' we wiil have to see out before we beat Wednesday by two clear goals.

I think 3.

Which is just as well, as that's the limit on my current time machine.

or this time yesterday

 

[Davee]

Ah. Always wondered where I went wrong!

 

[Wise old Bee]

Does your machine go back to pre-war days? If so drop me off next to my dad and grandad on the New Road for one of those games when we used to beat Arsenal. I reckon more than three by the way, probably six plus.

 

[Barry Proudfoot]

How many can you seat. Thought we could just go back and find the best players ever and transport them back in time for pre season training!

 

[mhead bee]

Just take me to the beginning of the next pre season friendlies.

I have a feeling of optimism that eclipses the beginning of this season gone!

MA has brought so many quality players to the club I can hardly wait to see the next batch!

 

[Banshee Mildew]

Please can you take me back to Saturday so that I can change my lottery numbers (I'll even give you 10%).

I believe excited states are the answer to your woes!

I believe excited states are the answer to your woes!

I believe the difficulty of wormhole expansion to be your downfall, or alternatively setting up conditions for quantum entanglement. Either way, :shrug: Also there would be the problem of your being unable to travel to a time before the machine's final construction.

Can't you just go the other way round the Earth really, really fast thus moving time backwards. Superman did it to save Lois lane.

Two flaws, which way round the earth is "the 'other' way" the Earth is spherical, if you took away all locational markers there'd be no way to tell which way you were going. Unless you mean in the opposite direction than the earth is spinning?

Secondly, when you are travelling very fast, time only slows down for you, not the entire world and even then it is very fractional. Say you were travelling at the speed of light, so all photons around you appear stationary, you'd only lose about a third of time directly proportional to a stationary observer and that would be only you, you'd be an hour younger, but the world will be the same.

...so it wouldn't work.

Durghhh, of course I mean the opposite way to the way the Earth is spinning. How else could he do it stupid?

However, haven't read the rest of your argument, I can only conclude that I was being conned by those damn Hollywood lies as I assumed at the time that Superman was biographical.

Yet another illusion shattered

How can you be sure of this given the uncertainty principle? :shrug:

 

[Womble]

Are you a Time Lord ?

My point exactly, I just thought you were being stupid yourself, best to cover all angles here....

How can you be sure of this given the uncertainty principle? :shrug:

Because, simply, if you are talking about teleporting yourself through space-time using a standard wormhole-time machine, you'd have established already a wormhole to go into, and its exit elsewhere (say the distance between the two exits and the strength of the wormhole determines how far you'll go back) you can't go back any further than where there is an exit available. So you can't go back before the exit has been created else you won't have anywhere to come out of.
Also, using the wormhole time model, just because you have expanded a wormhole does not make a large and bound body suddenly no longer bound to classical and relational physics. I mean, if the uncertainty principle was to affect the macroscopic body which is yourself, you may as well not bother because then half the electrons in your structure would end up in a different place, you'd exit the machine as a pile of ex-human goop. Safer to assume that only classical physics and Einsteinian physics will affect a large-scale body travelling through time.

I was thinking of marketing it as an alternative to liposuction.
