Probably not. For one thing we don’t know how much it costs. It might never become anything other than really expensive. Also there’s a lot of people that don’t travel now. Like even a little bit. There are people that never leave their burrow of NY. People in England are notorious for never getting more than 20KM from their town, except for maybe on a party bus that follows their football team. Add in the fact that in any future that could have time machines our present is a 3rd world country, the freaking stone age, how many modern tourists go to stone age villages in middle of nowhere Africa now. I mean would you really want to travel back in time to before antibiotics exist? That version of the world any injury can be life threatening? I’ve got a co-worker that broke his ankle on a trip to a “less civilized” part of the world, it was really rough until he could get back to the states and real medicine. It could happen and just never be cheap or convenient or popular much less all 3.
“Ultimately, while the possibility of traversing through time may not be as far-fetched as once thought, one crucial takeaway is clear: the past is permanent. “
I have had leftist claim to me, “There is no past beyond our memory of it.
You also have to account for motion of the earth and the sun. Let’s say you go back in time, say 100 years,....maybe it could be done ...but then when you get there...you’ll be at least a partial light year away with no way to get to Earth of the past. You’d have to travel in a spaceship to get there and you’d have to find it as there is no assurance that when you went back 100 years, that you would be in the same place that you were when you left 2025 so that you could track it to the place it was in 1925. No way to know if the time jump won’t spatially leave you 100 years past but in a distant galaxy and no way to go home!
Nonsense...Superman absorbs the inertial energy disruptions onto himself and no one dies....
Well it’s just as good an explanation as the stuff Engineer Scott and Spock come up with on Star Trek to save the universe’s women from all being kissed by Captain Kirk...all at once!
He is outside of all those constructs. He created them and visits whenever and wherever He wants.
I can believe in time travel, but a DeLorean reaching 88mph is impossible.
Eventually, he meets more and more of his selves in the same timeline. And as each has a regular lifespan, they are different ages. Some of his selves he gets along with, some not so much. Sometimes he lives with several of his selves.
He even has orgies with his selves, which is really weird. He says it feels good, as he knows how to pleasure himself.
I think the author might have been gay, but perhaps he was signaling that homosexuality is really a form of self-love.
I actually came up with a good scientific explanation for how Superman can fly. He physically does it. He physically moves the atoms of his muscles to provide motion towards whatever direction he wants to go. That changes the mass of his body to provide lift, direction, and speed. I haven’t seen this idea anywhere online.
You know how sometimes you have dreams when you fly?
This is exactly how I fly in my dreams.
I just thought earth life gave him gastric problems.
EWWW!
Super Brown Snail Trails!
What a business that would be, transporting people back to fix their pasts. I would definitely take my dishwashing money from the restaurant in 1979 and put it on Apple. And I would never date L——, not even for the first time.
When I have that kind of dream I don’t fly so much as levitate and glide along at a slow pace instead of walking. And for some reason it always takes ***INTENSE*** concentration on my part, a supreme act of will to leave the ground.
I like how you think
Well, they don't exist separately. Time, itself, does not exist according to Quantum Theory. However there is space-time. But QT is above my head even though I find it fascinating.
