spoiler alert: they’re not the only ones that break from what is popularized as the concept of time travel, they won’t be the last, and honestly their direction with it is better than a lot of ways people go about it

I could go on forever about it but I digress
@Megadoomer is right
Seriously, am I the only one who doesn't like this movie? Is there anyone else who thinks
the time travel falls apart under scrutiny and there were next to no actual hype moments and the depressing beginning didn't need to happen and that the truly heroic thing to do would have been to change history?
Please tell me I'm not alone!

You're probably not alone since million and millions of peoples saw that movie and there is probably atleast one other person out there on the internet that agree with you...

But here, yeah, don't expect alot of peoples agreeing with your points.

Okay, you don't know it's impossible. Who knows where science could eventually go.
No it's absolutely impossible.

The concept of time travel flies in the face of the laws of physics. For something to travel forward in time faster than one second per second, it would need to move faster than the speed of light. Given how the speed of light works, it's literally impossible for matter to go faster than the speed of light.

And going backwards in time is somehow even more impossible due to the same reason. You can't propel matter at less than the negative speed of light.

Can I add that it's a good thing that time travel can't exist irl?

Like, ****, if we can't do right in movies, can you just imagine the terrible and stupid stuff we could do with it?

That gave me shivers honestly.

which is yet another thing that was avoided by the Endgame time travel mechanic, via quantum mechanics

Guys, guys, you're forgetting black hole orbit time dilation.

It's an entirely different and far less useful variant of theoretical time travel than ANY fictional variant but you'd still -technically- be fast-forwarding time from your perspective.

So instead of figuring out how to crack reality into little itty bitty shards we just have to figure out how to make interstellar travel work somehow.

Decided that when I finish solar light today, I’ll try my hand at nuzlocking. Which I haven’t done in awhile. Going to give renegade platinum a try it seems fun

Btw it's Jojo Friday. This is especially important because we are getting close to the Seven Pages...


But what's more important is that @Shishœ has been pissed at Vento Aureo for 4 weeks in a row.

Since time travel is being brought up I want to clarify how it works.

As some have mentioned time travel to the past is not possible. Time travels only in one direction and that direction is forward. Time travel to the future though is definitely possible. However, it works a bit differently than what you might normally expect. The concept was explained well by Einstein in his Special Theory of Relativity. Here he established the concept of time dilation. Time dilation is best explained with frames of reference. Imagine someone in a spaceship and someone observing the spaceship from the Earth. If the person inside the spaceship travels close to the speed of light (say 80% of it) to a nearby star and the trip takes them 5 years from Earth's frame of reference 8.33 years would have passed. So that means if we had both people, the one on Earth and the one on the ship be 30 years old, once the person on the ship returns they would be 35 while the one on Earth would be 38 or so. Or in other words, 8 years have passed on Earth by the time the person on the spaceship returns when compared to the 5 that did for the traveler. This difference of course is further increased the closer you travel to the speed of light. It is important to note that anything other than massless particles cannot travel at the speed of light.

For those curious the mathematical formula itself is:
t' = (t / sqrt(1-(v^2/c^2)))

t' would be the person on Earth's time
t would be the person on the ship's time
v would be velocity
c is the speed of light = 3.0 * 10^8 meters/second

That doesn’t explain how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop but it’s close enough, thank you

I have not really watched the anime recently, where is it at now? Is it after the Green Day arc?

As much as I've tried to figure it out in the lab, no amount of research has allowed me to figure that out. It shall forever be one of the greatest mysteries of nature.

Just played VR for the first time.

Although it was incredibly cheap, and there were loads of laziness hidden in plain sight, overall VR is amazing. It was a mental experince.

What the hell are you going on about? Everyone else has been corrupted, I was trying to save you the same fate?
Ohhh.. of course.. not. i aint gonna fall that easily.

yes yes, very good observation..
except it doesnt take parallel universes into account. technically there's lots of possibilities there ;O

I mostly liked the movie, but I would also never dislike a movie because the time travel falls apart. Time travel is impossible, so you can't make a perfect time travel movie. Also, if I went back in time and killed someone, it would literally change everything that ever interacted with that person. So for instance, if I died that means my family's memories would jut somehow vanish, and the car I bought wouldn't have driven on the roads I did, and I'd never interact with anyone so it doesn't really make any sense.

I had some serious issues with the movie, but I disagree highly with "next to no hype moments". There were MANY in my opinion.

I give it a 7/10 (I gave IW 9/10)

You don’t have to be heroic to change history. Changing history is what makes you heroic.

Well, how does your "science" explain King Crimson then?
