Default Time travel!

http://www.timetravelfund.com/

Just $10 to join the fund

If it takes say, 500 years to acheive time travel, the $1 they invest in the fund for you will have grown to $39,323,261,827 @ 5% yearly.

They use that 39 billion to pay for some bloke to come back in time and get you

Ignoring the fact that $39 billion will probably buy you 20 fags in the year 2505 it's a cool idea

Worth 6 quid I say, they might come and get me tomorrow

Bye......lol

I wasn't going to pay until tomorrow, but they came and got me yesterday, so I don't know if I should bother paying anymore cos its already happened.

I've been to the year 3000, not much has changed but they live underwater.

And no-one remembers who Busted are NOW, let alone in a 1000 years time.

EIL132, maybe

Worth 6 quid for the chance tho?

Worth 6 quid for an interesting certificate to hang on your wall?

Worth 6 quid for devising such a cool scam?

2. You are retrieved, given the grand tour, and then put back to when you were retrieved, either with or without your memories of the future intact. This may or may not be desirable to you.
Great, so you wont even realise its happened

Time travel doesn't exist, cant exist and never will exist To believe that time travel exists relies on the fact the future has already happened as you need a future to go to to return to the past, which it hasn't or someone would have come back and if they have it doesn't mean shit The whole time travel theory relies on the fact someone can speed far out into space to meet our forefathers and then come back to the past faster than the speed of light, considerably in this case and even then light is only a reflexion of what we see, so it doesn't change time, just sight, so we must assume they are not there or even discovered time travel and have spent your money on space travel and still haven't reached here or even there yet

EIL132, the theory of time travel is perfectly sound.

Going forward in time is a piece of piss, you just have to go fast enough

Going back gets harder as it involves wormholes and shit

I've ordered a book called 'How to build a time machine' so will know more soon

That's where the theory falls to pieces, to go forward, time must exist, if it does then why has no one returned and where are we and why has your Ł6 not got you that Ferrari and what the fook are you doing on Passionford

EIL132, You obviously understand Einstein's special/general relativity theory, and thus you must know that if you were to travel at the speed of light You would have wave characteristics. Ie. have a wavelength and a frequency that when multiplied give the speed of light (some 300000000 metres per second) in accordance with the basic wave formula C=Fxlamda where C= the speed of light.

Which is a wonderful thought

If my math is right at the current rate of inflation $39,323,261,827 works out to be the equivilent of $170,890.07 today in 500 years.

I think thats still enough for people to come and get you

If you go faster than the speed of light then you dont go forward in time, just no one can see you

Save your Ł6 and buy this - you won't be able to travel time but you'll understand how everything works alot more!

Relativity - the special and general theory by Albert Einstein

Einstein's theory has been tested and retested hundreds of times in the past eighty years and it has never once failed yet. Also, time and not just the clock, run slower as the observer speeds up. Experiments performed with atomic clocks; one being on earth and the other flown on a rocket ship show that. Each clock uses the same radiactive element that has a known decay rate. The one that is flown on a rocket or spaceship is space runs slower than the one on earth, in other words the element decays slower than the one on earth.
The time slowing down part is my favourite bit, so MadROD and Mark will have experienced time slower than those watching at the time

Yes - I'm a geek
