I'm confused enough anyway.

Sorry. For explanation....I'm using the U.K. flag cause it's the most similar one we have to the Hawaii flag. Hawaii and the U.K. were really close together and Hawaii almost joined the U.K. (or in SMAC terms, Perma-pacted) until the U.S. sent in troops to help aid an illegal overthrow of the monarchy in Hawaii.

But I've changed my avatar to the small Hammer & Sickle until there is a reduction in the 'The Reagan' avatars here.....then I'll switch it back to Disney villains I've been using.

You sharpen pencils. Pens write by ink.
If you sharpen your pen, not only is the pen lost, but so is the myth that you had any intelligence whatsoever.

It's hard making jokes when they keep getting taken seriously.

[Snowflake]

Yes it is sooo unfair. :sob: When skanky said "I does" they thought he was funny. And when I say "everybody are" they say "poor at using plurals".

[Kody]

I know what you mean.

When I Jamski says "I don't agree".

People understand him.

When I say "I think the reasons for that time travel movies are generally impossible are that they usually ends up with temporal paradoxes. This is where the action in the past cancelled the specifics that caused the time travel in the future. Basically for one to happen it negates the other. Ofcourse there is the possibility that the temporal incursion happened all along and caused the result of the incursion. This is the case where the changes caused by the time travel in fact were what caused the time traveling making a kind of self locking loop effect. There is another mode of thinking that time travel is actually from multiple parallel universes. You don't actually change your own universe but instead make a change to a parallel universe that is in a different time frame that to your own. Generally, movies ignore those issues and hence make themselves impossible. Ofcourse with Hollywood you don't need to actually have something realistic to sell a blockbuster so movies will continue to have key flaws in temporal dynamics as I've outlined above."

People just tune out.

[Snowflake]

Ok I'm tunning out.

[Kody]

Hey don't tune out on me!

I don't tease you about your use of plurals at all.

PS:

Ok I'm tunningtuning out.

This thread really gives me a laugh!

Looks like both our teenagers missed a minor typo in HongHu's initial post.

They appearantly still have to learn a bit...

[binTravkin]

Hey, dont make fun on me, after a week I wont be a teenager anymore!
Anyways, have met many people in my life who are much more stupid than me while being much older at the same time..
I believe that after teen years Homo Sapiens dont get any smarter..
..some become even more stupid with years passing..

No pun intended!
Just philosophy..

[GeoModder]

Just referring to those referring to HongHu's initial post.

The movie Timeline gets this right though Kody.

Personally I have a very flexible view on the way time travel works. My view is that it's sci-fiction, and it doesn't have to make sense since we haven't managed to do it. If we do manage it then it may just defile current understanding like quatumn physics is completely different from a Newtonian view of the world.

However, according to the more popular theories on time travel (that I was reguritating) Timeline didn't get it right. Basically they changed the past, but that should have changed their own knowledge of the past with it.

So the part where they found out that they rescued the french lady who was supposed to have been killed. They shouldn't have been aware that they changed the past, since their own memory is supposed to have changed at the same time that they changed the past.

PS: In my opinion the acting in Timeline was really bad and I felt I wasted a movie ticket.
