On the plus side, it looks like my descendants get their own Gateway Arch and an anti-aircraft gun in the back yard.
> So driving 88mph in a DeLorean won’t do it, eh? <
Actually, it would. Einstein provides an equation for that. All you need to do is plug in the object’s speed, and the time that the object is at that speed.
The equation will tell you how much the object jumped into the future. Without doing the calculation, a car going 88 mph for a month might jump a trillionth of a second into the Earth’s future. Nobody would notice that.
Now here’s the interesting thing. An experiment was done with the Concord flying to Europe. Einstein’s equation predicted how much the plane would jump into the future. Nobody noticed it, as it was way less than a second. But an atomic clock picked it up. It read just as Einstein’s equation said it would.
Ol’ Albert was one smart guy.
Actually that looks like another part of the apparent idyllic European village view that is center there. Looks like a stone bridge with building or tower on one end.
What is with the St. Louis Gateway Arch? Still there? Or just another common copy?
So in 3311, technology has improved greatly - except for camera technology.
Totally legit. It’s like Thomas Kinkade of the thirty-fourth century!
Girl at my HS named Anita Dupuis.
I’m a time traveler. Since lunchtime I traveled five hours and twenty minutes into the future.
Wonder if this is him or a recycled old story.
If you could travel through time even one second, you would be in the middle of space. We are moving millions of miles per hour.
No one will be alive on Earth after the next few years.
I cannot believe the degenerate human race will make it very far. Genuine time traveler would keep it totally secret.
Maybe invest in growing industries,internet, social media and being best friends with Gates and Musk from childhood.
I was going to tell a joke about this, but no one thought it was funny.
no they ate the elites
and then went back to eating other animals
That could be true
Everyone knows you cant time travel without a steam engine and a bull gear.
Large brass clutch handle optional.
have him bring back Mr. Fusion so we can scrap these crappy EVs
Much more likely aliens built the pyramids in Egypt.
True. Wise statement.
A little known SF book The Return of the Time Machine by Egon Friedell (DAW Books, 1972 translation from German) was written by an author who disappeared during the Holocaust and is presumed to have died in a concentration camp.
He wrote that any time machine has to be space travel machine taking into account the constant motion of the Earth and the solar system and galaxy which move at the moment one changes their point in time.
Even one on a second floor apartment going back to before the building was erected or after it was torn down for a fast food joint would land you on the dirt twenty-five feet below where you started. If not many miles away in space.
(except for camera technology.)
It’s the same one that they use on UFOs 🛸🛸🛸
