That was one of the best Twilight Zone ever!

And in the case of string theory, it’s thought that there can never be any hard experimental evidence.

My biggest problem with 'string theory' is that it pretty much can't be falsified.

"It's Not Even Wrong!" - can't remember who said that.

You can move backwards but not with the current technology...

If you can 'move back' - even one second - it makes the case for all 'times' existing simultaneously.

Cats seem to know this instinctively.

This is why, if have cats, it does matter which way you put the roll on.

Time is not infinitely divisible.

"You can say that again"

What!?
Are you saying three times wasn't enough?
When you are my age, never post to FR while driving in traffic...🙄

I have learned to run on Shrodinger’s time.
I all depends on how you look at it.

If you come to a stop light and you are in a hurry
time slows down and you sit there forever.

If you don’t care, the light will seemingly turn green
very quickly.

It’s simple really!

No kidding. Newsweek didn't exist for a few years either. It still shouldn't.

What I hate is how FR doesn’t post the stuff in the topic I want, but in the topic I’ve selected. Should be some ESP coding in there somewhere. ;^)

[SunkenCiv]

BTW, nice job -- this is a science topic, and you've got over 200 replies!

There is a lot of practical stuf to investigate even if it means we are validating excepted facts in physics. the reason why theoretical physics is popular is that it allows for statements that can’t be understood or proven true or false unless you are in the field and are in the top 1 percent in that field. something like voltage differences can be understood by just reading up on the subject. Stuff like this article might be interesting but as a layman I will never understand in a way that is useful in how I live life and interact with anything. This might as will be Magic.

I know my ass will stop with just a little more gravity. ;-D

[GingisK]

You can’t get grant money for stuff we already know is correct.

[GingisK]

Living in primitive conditions for one’s entire lifetime is not pleasant. Those who did so just didn’t know any better.

[GingisK]

Time keeps on slipping slipping slipping into the future.

[tet68]

In the church of the Future tm.
As a ordained minister who knows the meaning of
a hand shake and a piece of the pie, I can state
that at the Church of the Future tm. we are wasting
the present expanding on the past into the future.

If I don’t see ya in the future,
I’ll see ya in the pasture.

You too can learn how to keep the same tank of gas,
in your car for months at a time!!

[Paal Gulli]

That announcement doesn’t bode well for the time-space continuum.

[Lazamataz]

Time is the only thing that keeps everything from happening at once.
