“That’s not bad. When I was in High School there was a guy in the next school district named Harry Dickey.”
When I was stationed in Germany, there was a Major assigned to brigade HQ who’s last name was Dick... Major Dick
He was anything but though, in fact he was one of the funniest, most laid back officers I’ve ever met.
Oh,I wasn’t complaining.😏
i know... 8^)
“Nice and blurry, like any UFO or bigfoot photo.”
There has been hundreds of (unfortunately) crystal clear photos of Bigfoot disgracing the covers of People magazine and other such rags since at least 2008.
Nothing near even only a full second.
Think "micro-seconds."

Good English name. One of the doctors who helped kill Geo Washington with bleeding him of a quarter of his blood mass was Dr Elisha Dick.

Yes, I meant to say 7 milliseconds (or something like that).
The Earth’s future in 49 years is to be in a much different location. Does the Earth’s gravity continue to pull you along as you travel through time somehow?
At least his name isn’t Hank.
Hey, the only thing they're allowing you to use in the future are Instamatic cameras!
The train I mentioned in post #64 would behave like any other train on Earth would. It would be affected by gravity the same way, etc. The only difference is that because it is moving close to the speed of light around the track, clocks on that train would run much slower than clocks not on the train. So the train jumps into the Earth’s future significantly.
Again, it’s almost impossible to believe. But Einstein is right about this. An experiment using not a train but the Concorde proves it.
This is not the best article on that, but it’s a start.

I don’t actually look at it as ‘time travel.’ After all, we are all traveling forward in time, at the same rate.
What the ‘time travel’ hypothesis seems to be saying is that the person (object) ‘traveling’ is actually slowing down his rate of forward travel (in time). The rest of the universe goes on into the future, and when the ‘traveler’ comes to rest, he is in our common future without having experienced the intervening years.
‘Travelers’ stay relatively young, others age, and there is no ‘going back’ in time for the traveler.
> After all, we are all traveling forward in time, at the same rate. <
That was Newton’s view of time. It makes all the sense in the world. But Einstein showed that Newton’s view was wrong. The rate of time is affected by relative speed. So if two objects are moving relative to each other, those objects will not be moving forward in time at the same rate.
We don’t notice this because the rate difference is very small at everyday speeds. It only becomes noticeable when the speeds are great - near the speed of light - or if you have very sensitive atomic clocks.
Let’s say you and I both have such a clock. The times agree to the nanosecond. You jump on a plane, go to Europe, then return. When you land our clocks will not agree. Your clock will have run slower simply because of the relative motion between us.
The difference is how much you “time-travelled” into my future. It will be way, way less than a second because your plane went nowhere near the speed of light.
This experiment was actually done with the Concorde. The clocks differed by the amount Einstein’s equation said they would.
Which is so weird because they found a camera from a stone age fa mah leeeee that used the same technique via a little bird in the housing. Which proves that a time traveler DID go back!
I appreciate your post, Jack.
Kid in my HS was named Richard (Dick) Click. Instead of calling him Ricky, his parents unfortunately nicknamed him Dick.
I’ll bet he desperately worked to avoid getting to....
wait for it....
