Who receives the Nobel Prize for time travel? 39 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:21,000 Since you claim no world lines are the same, this information could not hurt anything. 40 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000 There are a great many people involved with the discovery of time travel. 41 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:34,000 Just as I will not give stock tips, I will not divulge their names, as that would hav... 42 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Q. Why not give us technical information that's discovered in a year or so anyway? 43 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,000 If I had that information and published it, I'm not so sure it would have an impact. 44 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:57,000 Again, we get back to the same question. If you were a time traveler, what would you d... 45 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:04,000 Q. Have any other time travelers visited your future? 46 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:14,000 No, I'm not aware of any time travelers visiting my world line in 2036. However, t... 47 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:25,000 Also, the possible number of world lines a time traveler might arrive at would place ... 48 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:35,000 Q. What happens to a particular person? Am I involved in time travel? What are the... 49 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:45,000 I have no idea what happens to you in your future. There was a resistance on my world... 50 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000 We killed most of them by 2020. 51 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000 How big is the IBM 5100? 52 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,000 I would say it's about 20 inches long, 10 inches high, and 30 inches wide. 53 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000 Q. Are there still books in 2036? 54 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000 Yes, books are still published. 55 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,000 Q. Are there restrictions to what you can do with the time machine? 56 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:21,000 The displacement machine is not mine, but I am free to make certain decisions based on... 57 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:31,000 I am expected back, but from their perspective, I will only have been gone fo... 58 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000 January 6, 2001. 59 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,000 Q. What is the progress with string theory? 60 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:48,000 In 2036, string theory still dominates physics due to its continued effect of... 61 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:58,000 A great deal of theoretical mathematics behind time travel was discovered by testi... 62 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:08,000 As I recall, it was this original work that led to the final proof that six dimensions... 63 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,000 This in turn supported more of the theoretical math behind time travel. 64 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:24,000 It's ironic that the beauty of string theory gives future engineers the confidence to... 65 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,000 You're a physics student. Have you ever heard the Princeton String Quartet play? 66 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000 January 9, 2001. 67 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:43,000 Q. Why do you give us more detailed information about the future so we won't b... 68 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000 I think skepticism is a good thing and no one should lose it. 69 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000 Q. Why don't you accept my challenge? 70 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:59,000 I'm not sure what challenge you are referring to. If you mean the live chat, I have no... 71 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000 I do that quite often on other boards. 72 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,000 However, I fear I have very few bread and circuses left and I fear I am becoming qui... 73 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,000 Also, I am not sure I fully understand the nature of your challenge. 74 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:21,000 Q. You could still give us details about the future that would add to your credibility. 75 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,000 Again, I do not seek to add to my credibility. There is no point to it. 76 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Actually, by providing information that was useful, I would be adding to your collecti... 77 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:43,000 In that case, the cycle we are in concerning truth only spirals out of control and gets... 78 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,000 Q. Can you name the five presidents you have in your time? 79 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:55,000 Over the past few postings, I have tried to describe the limits of what I will talk ab... 80 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:02,000 1. I will not disclose any information that will cause someone to personally gain by i... 81 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000 This means no stock or sports tips. 82 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:12,000 2. I will not disclose any detailed information that will allow someone to avo... 83 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,000 This means no earthquake or bombing information. 84 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:26,000 3. I will not disclose any information that may compromise any future actions by... 85 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:34,000 On my world line, we are no longer afraid of the NWO. Are you afraid of Nazis? 86 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:41,000 The reason the job of president was split into an office of five has four main reasons. 87 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,000 With five presidents, foreign policy is more consistent. 88 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:51,000 Power shifting between parties has less of an impact on the overall government. 89 00:09:51,000 --> 00:10:01,000 Individual strengths between presidents adds to the strength of the office, as one... 90 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Q. What is the extent of presidential power in 2036? 91 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,000 The office of president is far more diluted and decentralized than it is here. 92 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:20,000 The power of the national government are more defined and reside more in the county and... 93 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Q. Do you like the new government in 2036 compared to the current one? 94 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:36,000 I think the new government is good. However, since the concept of nationally subsidized... 95 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000 Q. What is the new U.S. Capitol? 96 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,000 The new U.S. Capitol is in Omaha, Nebraska. 97 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,000 Q. How do the five presidents take power? 98 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,000 The voting for individual candidates is on a rotating schedule. 99 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,000 Q. What are the other time travelers' destinations and missions? 100 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,000 I am not aware of the details of other missions. 101 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:11,000 Of the seven, three had already left before I did. I suspect they are on similar missions. 102 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,000 Q. Are any other time travelers on our current world line? 103 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,000 No. The chances of that are very slim. 104 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,000 Q. Are you in contact with other time travelers? 105 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:37,000 No. Although I would suspect that it's not impossible, I have no idea how you would d... 106 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,000 Q. Is it possible to send a message through time? 107 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:46,000 No. Not unless the information physically travels with the person. 108 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:54,000 I apologize for being unable to respond faster. I looked back and I couldn't find ... 109 00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:02,000 Q. Forum member condemns time travel and time travelers as evil. 110 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:10,000 You seem to have a great deal of anger directed at me. If you knew where I was an... 111 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,000 What judgment and punishment should be passed upon me? 112 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:22,000 On this and many other discussion boards are people who are generally interested in and... 113 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,000 What punishment would you apply to them if they succeed? 114 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:33,000 I see that you claim to have had time travel experience. What punishment do you deserve? 115 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000 When time travel was discovered, there were many people who were against its development. 116 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:44,000 However, once the true nature of time was realized, that resistance faded. 117 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:51,000 Even if one world line was able to ban, kill, and stop all time travel, it will continue... 118 00:12:51,000 --> 00:13:03,000 However, the corollary is also true. Take heart, on some world line you have succeed... 119 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:11,000 People, or perhaps, excuse me, perhaps we should all agree what we mean when we use ... 120 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:20,000 We are all moving forward in time just by existing and the effects of acceleration a... 121 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000 So the rest of the world seems to speed up around them. 122 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:40,000 If we call this natural time travel or time like trips on a single world line, then... 123 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000 January 10th, 2001. 124 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:51,000 With that, it may then be useful to separate the concepts of control time travel into... 125 00:13:51,000 --> 00:14:03,000 In theory, time travel was taken seriously by mainstream science when it was discovered... 126 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:17,000 Since special relativity, under its current limitations, of course, has been proved... 127 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:29,000 Nearly all of the solutions that allow time travel in special relativity also have the... 128 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:40,000 In my experience, there is only one safe way to obtain control time travel, and that... 129 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,000 However, I do not discount the possibility of other methods. 130 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:56,000 I'm just not sure I would bet my life on them without any math to back them up. 131 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000 Q. 132 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000 How is it possible to measure divergence between world lines? 133 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:08,000 The measurement for world line divergence is an observation variable isolated to the... 134 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000 An effective analogy would be a gravity radar. 135 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,000 The unit sensor takes a snapshot of the local gravity around the unit before a flight. 136 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:26,000 During travel, this baseline is periodically checked to make sure there are no major... 137 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:38,000 The percentage of EGL divergence from one world line to another is a calculated gues... 138 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,000 It is useless in describing characteristics of individual world lines. 139 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:50,000 There is a bit of folklore about the first distortion driver who reaches a destinatio... 140 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,000 This would mean he had traveled on a space-like trip to their own world line of... 141 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,000 This paradox is quite possible, although highly unlikely. 142 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:06,000 I wonder if anyone out there can take current string theory and make that one work on... 143 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000 Q. You said six dimensions. 144 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000 The current string theory suggests that there should be at least seven. 145 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:21,000 I may be mistaken, but I thought it was pretty well established now that N-10 was ... 146 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,000 January 11, 2001. 147 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,000 I must admit, you have succeeded in confusing me. 148 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:36,000 The more I read your postings, the more I question my understanding and local use of... 149 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:43,000 However, I also believe that all viewpoints have some inherent value, even if it's not... 150 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,000 Q.

However, consider that an exact entry poin... 327 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,000 The important factor is the path, not the destination. 328 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:14,000 Under multiple world theory, there are an infinite number of homes that I could retu... 329 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:21,000 The divergence for that window is somewhere near 0.0002377%. 330 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:27,000 Q.

Just because people tal... 337 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,000 I agree with you that an explanation doesn't make it so. 338 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,000 However, you can build a model to describe physical behavior. 339 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:24,000 Even if the model is not complete, its truth can be measured by how well it predicts th... 340 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:34,000 Q. Where did the idea of the multiverse come from? Where is the evidence of its existence? 341 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:45,000 I believe the closest non-relevant evidence for multiple universes right now comes fro... 342 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:54,000 If you examine a typical Penrose map, science agrees that you can travel to other univer... 343 00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:02,000 They can't be different places in your own universe or world line because you would h... 344 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:12,000 Since the existence of multiple universes is a reality from my viewpoint, please allow ... 345 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:28,000 Since all possibilities, outcomes, and events are occurring and existing simultaneously,... 346 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:39,000 There are some who believe that memory is some sort of information transfer or... 347 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:53,000 Although this is seemingly quite ridiculous, if you think that could be true, then phys... 348 00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:05,000 Could it be that fantasy or what-if scenarios are actually future memory from an... 349 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:11,000 According to physics, there is no reason why this cannot be true. 350 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:21,000 Your mission to go back in time seems rather pointless since you stated earlier there i... 351 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:31,000 The reality of infinite possibilities is rather difficult to get a grip on and if i... 352 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:35,000 I like to think of it as standing in a room with mirrors on all the walls. 353 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:41,000 I can look to my right and left and see many me's all doing the exact same thing. 354 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:52,000 If we all took a step to our right and passed through a dimensional doorway to the next... 355 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:59,000 In that sense, there are an infinite number of world lines waiting for me to return wi... 356 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:04,000 If I can get to one of them, I've had completed my mission. 357 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:14,000 Q.

I believe the links are... 361 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:40,000 Q. Why haven't you commented on not caring about your original world line? 362 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:47,000 I'm not sure what you're asking. I think those statements speak for themselves in y... 363 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,000 One of the reasons I like the board is because the questions are more thought out. 364 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:59,000 The people seem to be a bit smarter than normal, and I have not continually bombard... 365 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,000 I will admit that on a conceptual level, you are picking it up much faster than I did. 366 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:11,000 Q. If you leave your world line, your friends and family members will never see you again. 367 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:17,000 If you leave your world line, your friends and family members will never see you agai... 368 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:25,000 I'm not sure what you think it would be immoral.

Earlier you said the people on your world line would only experience your being away... 380 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,000 Again, I refer to the mirror example. 381 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:06,000 Q. It seems impossible that another you would return to the world line you originally ca... 382 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:12,000 I'm not sure I said another time traveler will return. I think I said they could... 383 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:19,000 The location gravity map I have on my path getting here could be duplicated with a... 384 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,000 It's just that my machine was not designed to do that. 385 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:29,000 I think it's a mistake to rely on the concept of the impossible when dealing with the... 386 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:35,000 Keep in mind there are an infinite number of yous on infinite world lines having... 387 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:42,000 Q.

Actually, I don't blame them. 416 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:16,000 The means by which I travel in time is very physical. I require a machine to do it. It... 417 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:24,000 I do not own it, and I did not build it.

Why wouldn't it be possible to use a recording to go back to your original... 431 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:54,000 Perhaps it's better to say it's so highly improbable as to be considered impossible. 432 00:46:55,000 --> 00:47:02,000 A good example is the concept of trying to get closer to something by cutting the... 433 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:09,000 Since the computer is basically making calculations from an imperfect model of... 434 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:16,000 I also believe there is a theory that states you would have to violate the speed of lig... 435 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:24,000 Q.

What sort of future do you imagine after 2036? 454 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,000 Will we colonize the solar system? 455 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:15,000 Keep in mind that not all humans were destroyed, but we were all affected. 456 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:22,000 There is an effort going into colonizing space because it's believed that the probl... 457 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:29,000 Personally, my generation sees itself as having a duty to try and repair the mess o... 458 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:39,000 When we were young, most of us had a small taste of the world you live in now, and ou... 459 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:53,000 Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to approach the Wright Brothers in 1910 befor... 460 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,000 What tools would I be able to show them that would convince them? 461 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,000 Would a picture of a jet airplane do it? 462 00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000 Would complicated math and physics equations do it? 463 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,000 Would it take a ride? 464 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:10,000 Perhaps there will be a way to share the photos again, but I don't expect it would... 465 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:17,000 I would only hope they would spark conversation and make the reality of time... 466 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:22,000 Although I have no personal experience with non-mechanical time travel, I cannot disco... 467 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,000 Physics has a way of making the impossible a reality. 468 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,000 I'm not here to study anyone. 469 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,000 My objective was in 1975, and the reason I'm here now is my family. 470 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,000 I find my preconceptions of what I would encounter interesting. 471 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,800 Being exposed to a society through its social and political 472 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,800 and the technical breakthroughs are happening on your world line right now. 473 00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:51,800 Technologically and technology is not gone in 2036, nor is it the private domain of... 474 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,800 I'm not sure the physics of time travel is really that hard to grasp. 475 00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,800 Most of the working theory has been around on a large scale since 1970, 476 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,800 and the technical breakthroughs are happening on your world line right now. 477 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:09,800 Technologically and technology is not gone in 2036, 478 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,800 nor is it the private domain of government leaders. 479 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,800 Computer printers just didn't work very well on 12 volts, 480 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:19,800 and many people just got used to doing things the old way. 481 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,800 After the war, the main problem was distribution. 482 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,800 Can anyone tell me how many companies in the United States still manufacture bicycle ti... 483 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,800 Anyone who still has a bike in 2008 will find out. 484 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,800 January 31, 2001. 485 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:41,800 I'm not aware of any specific predictions I made, or perhaps we do not agree on the... 486 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:47,800 What anyone chooses to do based on something I might say will not affect me in the least. 487 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,800 My goal is not to be believed, and I submit that your life would not be any better, 488 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:55,800 and perhaps worse, if you did believe me. 489 00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,800 You placed tests before me that I would not be able to do. 490 00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:03,800 You placed tests before me that I must pass. Why? 491 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:06,800 What do I have to gain by passing them? 492 00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:13,800 The fact is there is nothing I can say or show you or let you drop hydrochloric acid... 493 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:16,800 will make you believe me, and I really don't want that. 494 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,800 It would be nice to discuss your views on religion, politics, physics, 495 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,800 and the mechanical requirements of time travel, 496 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,800 but in order to engage in those types of conversations, 497 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,800 I must apparently tell you who wins the hockey game next week. 498 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:35,800 I'm just guessing that if I were to write out the ten lines for Furman's Final Proof, 499 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:38,800 you wouldn't be very impressed either. 500 00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:44,800 One, industrialized mass production does not produce the uncountable tonnage 501 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,800 of useless consumer items so gleefully absorbed by your society. 502 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,800 I would estimate there are about ten units like mine, the C204, 503 00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,800 and twenty large units, C206. 504 00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,800 The main difference is the sensitivity and number of main cesium clocks. 505 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,800 I would estimate that some sort of public time travel would be common around 2045. 506 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,800 Two, I'm not aware of any other time travelers here now, 507 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,800 but if they are here, I'm sure they're poring over sports history books 508 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:19,800 so they can go back in time another week and start a friendly conversation on the web. 509 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,800 Three, the mad cow story here is yet to begin, but don't worry, 510 00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,800 the fruit and gelatin desserts are safe. 511 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,800 Four, I'm glad to see it's so easy for you to dismiss the Middle East. 512 00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:38,800 Yes, I suppose it is a no-brainer, but pretty soon it will be a no-armor and a no-leggar. 513 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,800 Ethics is an excellent topic of discussion, 514 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:47,800 and I hope we move past the collective insistence of applying everything to this... 515 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:53,800 The distortion unit reaches its target destination by using very sensitive gravit... 516 00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,800 The basic unit of calculation is the second. 517 00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:05,800 So yes, in a sense, you do dial in on a date and the computer system controls the... 518 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:11,800 At maximum power, the unit I have is capable of traveling about ten years an hour. 519 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,800 Unfortunately, time travel is not an exact science. 520 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,800 There is inherent error and chaos in the computer's ability to make accurate... 521 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,800 Based on the current technology of the clocks and sensors, 522 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,800 distortion units are only accurate to about 60 years or so. 523 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:33,800 So no, in 2036, we are unable to travel back a thousand years due to the error rates in... 524 00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,800 The divergence between the world line of origin and the target world line would be ... 525 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,800 If one were to try and travel back that far, 526 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:43,800 history would look nothing like what you would expect. 527 00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:49,800 The unit has mass limitations, but the 204 is capable of transporting about three people... 528 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,800 I don't think you would like 2036 very much. 529 00:54:54,800 --> 00:55:01,800 The 5100 has a very simple and unique feature that IBM did not account for and decided i... 530 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,800 which is hindsight, was not very smart. 531 00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,800 This accident feature was thus removed from the system. 532 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:17,800 In order to take advantage of this feature, the 5100 I have now required a couple of... 533 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:24,800 Anyone who is familiar with this feature and was told to keep their mouth shut about it... 534 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:30,800 I have noticed and gotten used to the act of verbal conflict as a cathartic entertainment. 535 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,800 I don't totally understand why this is so. 536 00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,800 Perhaps we could just arm wrestle someday and still be able to have a pleasant... 537 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:43,800 The year 2008 was a general date by which time everyone will realize the world they... 538 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,800 The Civil War in the United States will start in 2004. 539 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,800 I would describe it as having a Waco type event every month that steadily gets worse. 540 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,800 The conflict was a very long time ago. 541 00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:03,800 The source of power for the C204 that allows it to distort and manipulate gravity comes... 542 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:08,800 The dual event horizons of the C204 are the same as the C204. 543 00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:14,800 The C204 is a very small and very small, but very small, and very small, and very small... 544 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:24,800 The source of power for the C204 that allows it to distort and manipulate gravity comes... 545 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:35,800 The dual event horizons of each one and their mass is manipulated by injecting electrons... 546 00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:38,800 The electricity comes from batteries. 547 00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:47,800 The breakthrough that will allow for this technology will occur within a year or so... 548 00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:52,800 Perhaps it would have been clearer to state that the math has been around since 1970. 549 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:58,800 I would urge you to examine the properties of Kerr black holes and Tipler cylinders. 550 00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,800 An actual working prototype was first tested in 2034. 551 00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:09,800 On my world line, time travel is not a public recreation, but we are all aware that it... 552 00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:16,800 You may be disappointed to know that the ability to manipulate gravity is not the... 553 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:29,800 Miniaturizing the clocks and sensors, creating clever ways to vent x-rays, and... 554 00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:36,800 There are no missing pieces, just missing energy levels and a few very interesting...
