Whoa, this is heavy

Doc Brown: There's that word again; "heavy". Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?

A wise (but not old) musical genius once told me that building a time machine would be disastrous, because everyone would travel back to the crucifixion. And this is how we know that people haven't managed to build one in the future, because we'd see all these time machines in our history.

So I guess that that disproves the existence of the time machine, or the existence of a God, Jesus. Don't worry I'm not going to blab out some raging theory as to why I don't believe there is a God, but it does make you wonder, if something as sci-fi and surreal as a time machine could prove the existence of God. I'd find it rather funny.

Talking of funny, I think I must have had one of the best days of my life today. The sun was shining, I rode my bike into school (now my knees hate me), and I started my school day. Brains, light and light switches, more sense made clear by that same genius. Yeah, I had a shitty RS lesson, but no change there, but then music was great, greater than the greatest great lesson that ever called itself great. I just giggled and laughed, laughed and giggled all the way through, I even sat on the floor and took my shoes off. hahahahahahaha! Ah, it was so wonderfully random, with punch ups and piss takes, me not being able to phrase sentences correctly AGAIN, or just generally being a philistine. But hey, I get a free bottle of rum out of it too =P

So in high spirits, after nearly shouting cock porn very loudly across school (but managing to shout pop corn instead) I walked up the steep hill to de la salle pool... got there and thought, shit. I'd left my swimming stuff in my bloody locker at school. But no matter! I legged it back to school, grabbed the stuff, legged it back up the hill (which seemed a hell of a lot steeper than before) and jumped straight into the freezing pool. *ahhhhh*

Thank you for such a perfect day.

Hey, if you're gonna wander into my territory, expect a comment on the science :P

Just cos someone hasn't seen one doesn't mean it doesn't exist btw. They might only go forwards in time. Also, there is a theory that time machines can potentially only stretch as far back as it was built. Which makes sense tbh. But I do think you're underestimating time travel a bit... assuming you can change the past at all (which is a WHOLE other debate :P), if someone went back to the Jesus times and someone saw the time machine, there are 2 options the way I see it; either it's not that big of a deal, and it doesn't affect history, or it does and the mysterious blue box is written about in folk law... The time traveller, when he gets back to his present, will KNOW he's been seen, because it's in the history! So all he has to do is go back and correct his mistake :P

Plus, if you want to get technical, time travel is possible. I'm a time traveller. I don't have much control over it though, I tend to just go forwards in time at a rate of 3600 seconds per hour.

...and I won't even go into relativity, which messes up the concept of time plenty, in real real life... I'll spare you the physics, cos quite honestly it messes up my head. You gave up physics at the right time :)

Yeah, so I'll stop typing now........

Hey don't forget to wear Teflon knickers 'cause the friction will be a killer if you can travel fast enough to break the time barrier.. Yo ho ho and rottle of bum I say...
