Pangloss Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 What's wrong with the existing ban? Oh right, you don't know about it yet. Wups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daecon Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 We'll ban it later. Or earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Skeptic Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Yeah. Time travel is soooo dangerous because we could destroy the whole universe by creating a paradox!!! Oh, wait. Paradoxes are paradoxes because they can't happen, and if they can happen, they are no problem Also, causeing the world to cease to exist would cause a paradox as well. Anyhow, if time travel were dangerouse we would have gotten a note from the future telling us not to use time travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Anyhow, if time travel were dangerouse we would have gotten a note from the future telling us not to use time travel. Oh, sorry. I thought they sent the note to everyone. My bad. Um, don't time travel, people. It would be/has been/is dangerous, according to the future.

Royston Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I welcome the ban in public places, but if people want to time travel in the privacy of their own home, that's their business...nobody else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I welcome the ban in public places, but if people want to time travel in the privacy of their own home, that's their business...nobody else's. But only if they own their home over all time periods. I'll get right on this sometime in the future and have it banned by last week. Mmmmkay?

ecoli Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 are we physically banning it or legally banning it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royston Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 But only if they own their home over all time periods. Bureaucracy can be filled with paradoxes, and now the bureaucracy of paradoxes. People should have the right to time travel, but paradoxes should be banned...along with bureaucracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 are we physically banning it or legally banning it?The Chinese legally banned reincarnation without permission. Maybe we can do the same with time travel. And when people ask for permission, we tell them that if we had granted permission they wouldn't be here now to ask for permission. Permission DENIED.

swansont Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 That's some catch, that Catch-22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 But only if they own their home over all time periods. Is that just the 12 legal time physicalities, or all 27 temporal arondisements? And are you including the 47 global war eras between the 20th and 27th centuries? Obviously after the 27th it doesn't matter, of course, since the planetary inhabitants are no longer classified as "human". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 Obviously after the 27th it doesn't matter, of course, since the planetary inhabitants are no longer classified as "human". I just saw them, and if human scientists were still around, I think the planetary inhabitants would be classified as "cockroaches". It's nothing but steel bars, concrete slabs, plastic, radioactive waste, roaches, Styrofoam, and Twinkies in the 27th century.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YT2095 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Time travel Already exists. only our digital watches are too crude to display this, a bit like trying to measure a C-C bond length with a tailors tape measure! we`re all in "Violation" of this ban.

Pangloss Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I think we're starting to run out of good time travel jokes. This map explains time travel perfectly, I'm told: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 I much rather prefer the wormhole method. Just get a couple of rockets, attach a wormhole, and launch one of them to the Tau Ceti system and back at relativistic speeds.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
