February 23, 20224 yr Even if you don't like this one you should take a look at what else is available at curiositystream.com . Hundreds of documentaries across a range of topics. I've learned a lot about a lot of things there and at USD$20 per year I think it's a really good deal.

February 24, 20224 yr This is a fascinating story. I remember hearing about it a long time ago, but I could never remember enough about it to be able to find it on the internet.

Well... given the expert on the language of the time that was interviewed toward the end of the video, that pointed out the grammatical inconsistencies, I'm pretty certain someone was faking it. looks very much like someone was trying to sound like they were from that error but made fundamental mistakes. 32:01 in video. The verb structure was all wrong for the time. She said it doesn't even look close to early English writing. Edited February 24, 20224 yr by martin-w
February 24, 20224 yr I'm very skeptical of time travel. Unless we are living in the past and future events have already occurred I don't see how you can travel into the future. Nor do I see how you can go back into the past. Where is the past? It would have to be a physical someplace. I don't think we are on a merry-go-round of time that can move forward or backward. Only the here and now actually exists. The only possibility for going BACK in time is exceeding the speed of light and overtaking the scenes of the past and then stopping for a moment to observe the moment. I wish I could go back in time to just before Charlie closed the Thoughts on a Mars Colony thread so I could add a comment. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.
February 24, 20224 yr I do not believe that time travel is possible, period. You can slow things down, processes that is, not time itself, by traveling at extremely high velocity relative to other people, but going back or forward in time is just not possible IMO. It's fun to think about it and imagine the possibilities though.

February 24, 20224 yr It is pretty easy to go into the future if you could place yourself next to an object with enough mass like a black hole. Gravity slows and bends time relative to everyone else. Time is not fixed, everyone experiences it very slightly differently. Going back in time however, well that is a different story! Specs: 11900K (5ghz), 64GB ram 3600mhz, RTX 3080 ti

February 24, 20224 yr In a sense you're right Matin. But as you travel into the future you are always in the present. Noel The tires are worn. The shocks are shot. The steering is wobbly. But the engine still runs fine.

Noel If you travelled into the past, you would be in THAT present too. 🙂 Zoom off to another star system at relativistic velocities and when you get back we are all driving anti-gravity hover cars and cats are now in charge of everything. When we truly understand time, because felines have shared that knowledge, we will really know. All praise to cats. 😽 Edited February 24, 20224 yr by martin-w Deleted something that might be wrong.
February 24, 20224 yr We are always in our own present. Even after we get back from that round trip at relativistic velocities when we return we are still in our own present. Our own present is where we are at the moment be it past, present or future. Everybody's present is different. Your present is personal. At any instant, even though you are in the same room with a group of people, each person's present is different because they are perceiving the present from different points of view. When the present is 0000GMT a person in Paris is sharing the same present with a person in Sydney but each perceives that present differently.
