  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Well there's always the talk of time travel by accelerating to the speed of light. Naturally we know that anything with rest mass can't go at or exceed the speed of light. It'd also be interesting to hover just above the event horizon of a black hole. It's speculated that you could go far into the future that way. There's also the possibility of taking a particle accelerator and keeping a quantum-level wormhole open. In any case our technology is far from being at time-travel level.

Well, we could appear back in time, cause a slight breeze by our appearance, which adds to worldwide air currents just enough to blow a young J. Robert Oppenheimer off a bridge, so he never headed the A-Bomb project, so Hitler split the atom first, so the Nazis took over the parts of the world not permanently irradiated...
Or, we could just kill our parents by accident and lock the universe into paradox so God has to straighten things out...

Actually, technically every time you move you go forward in time. Granted, by immesurably small amounts, even a long, supersonic plane ride would only move you forward by a fraction of a second, but still! It's time travel! :p

Or our presence, since it already happened, was what was needed to keep Oppenheimer from falling and we might be the ones who save our parents life. The creation might be a nice, neat package which isn't changable.

A while back there was a really good thread on this that had a lot of interesting information discussing things that were real possibilities, I was wondering about that a little more... what are the possibilities?

Google "time warps" for the confirmation by the greatest physicists and universities that EM field warps are possible within the EM field of any major planet, naturally.

Amos Ori, at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology is working on the math of their theoretical time machine, in planning stages. That was reported by paranormal.about.com & coasttocoastam.com.

At the battle of Galipoli, an entire Austrailian regiment vanished before many witnesses in a mist, and never returned. "The Complete Books of Charles Fort" has that, and many historical reports that CAN be explained by EM field warps. forteantimes.com. Late 1500s a Spanish soldier found himself in Mexico city suddenly, while on guard at a presidential palace in Manila. It took months by ship to verify his story.

Google "Philadelphia Experiment" (book) which provides documentation of gov artificially creating the "Bermuda Triangle" effect. The 5 Navy planes lost in BT radioed about instruments not working, and a colored haze, and were lost.

The Bible tells us, the Lord (who left via cloud) will be here at the end, and was in the "new earth" at Eden, though born 2000 years ago. That's spanning time somehow, as referred to in 2 Peter 3:8 also. Extradimensionality is in Daniel 5:5 and 2 Corinthians 12:2-4, and Malachi 3:10, and at mkaku.org.

Creating a flux is much easier than controlling where it leads & when, obviously. At a time of EM field reversal of polarity, anything caught up by it would be released to the present. "and the sea gave up the dead that WERE in it"-Rev 20:13.

The mentions in the Bible of the "bottomless pit" could refer to the "holes" in space/time that are NOT black holes, therefore with no "singularity" or bottom. The Lord spoke to Job out of a whirlwind, as the one depicted in the movie "Philadelphia Experiment", and Elijah was taken by whirlwind also. Those whirlwinds could be spatial warp holes also.

We have historic and modern reports, besides the modern knowledge of physics, to back up the possibility of actual time travel. Controlling it is the trick. That's where the angels come in, I'd guess. ufoevdence.org

Even a body at rest is moving forward if one takes special relativity into account. The earth rotates on its axis and orbits the sun; the sun orbits the core of the Milky Way galaxy, the Milky Way is moving within the Local Group, etc., etc.

We do not notice the bulk of the relativistic effects acting on objects "at rest." They are only detectable from an "external" frame of reference i.e. a frame of reference not pinned to the motion of earth; the solar system; the galaxy and local space as a whole.

That would be 1 second squared per second. Second per second is not a unit, it is unitless because a second/second=1, thus there would be no time.

John16:2, you now have a limited opportunity to show me that you are not a conspiracy-theorizing nut.

I've seen that official gov version Navy site before, and they verify communications from the 5 navy planes, but not a word of quote from it.

Allow me to quote from the back cover of the book; "The Philadelphia Experiment: Project Invisibility" by William Moore with intro by Charles Berlitz/Fawcet Crest NON-FICTION book;

"Now, OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS and first hand stories are revealed. Here is the truth in a report so shattering it is difficult to believe it is NOT FICTION".

Gov may have, since the book in 1979, reclassified the documents involved. In 1979, MANY great books came out because Carter signed the Freedom of Information Act, which has since been mostly neutralized by national security priority and so called "Patriot Acts" non disclosure clauses.

disclosureproject.org is ALL former & current gov employees uniting to break their oaths of silence together. Gov does cover things up.

No, it's second per second. It's not a real unit simply because we lack the ability to time travel and therefore have never come up with a way to describe the rate of travel through time. Look at radians. That's meter per meter, and it is considered a proper unit, even though it isn't "real".

Units are what we define them to be and rates may describe a change in any unit with respect to any other unit regardless of the unit being compared. For example, specific humidity/mixing ratios used in meteorology are often times reflected in terms of kg/kg i.e. the weight of water vapor contained within a parcel of air over the total weight of moist/dry air in the parcel.
