It should be illegal to remind people (me, particularly) about Steins;Gate while they're at work
I can't be fucking crying on the clock, dawg
Wow, I never thought about that.
Math is hard.
It's even cooler if you remember we send something to the moon even with all this variables and no calculators humans were able to know where the moon would be
Of course the moon is relatively close but still
Oooohh. Thanks for the tip, just added that into my time travelling port o pottie's destination algorithms. Gotta respect the earth be moving and shit.
It's just another problem with the mechanics of the snap at the end of Avengers: Endgame
Also, the earth will never be in the same place twice. So it's not even like you can only jump increments of a solar year.
And its not like there even is a same place. Position is relative, but to what in this case? Doesn't even make sense
well it's likely the big bang has a central point, no?
Imagine the universe as the surface of a balloon. The Big Bang Theory stipulates that at one point, the balloon was extremely small, like a single point. But now that the balloon is bigger, you can't find a particular spot on the balloon where that point was, because everywhere was that point. No matter where you are in the universe, if you turned back time and shrunk the balloon back down, you would be at the point of the Big Bang. Nowhere is closer or farther away from it.
would not the fact that blue shifted galaxies being rare, mean that in general all galaxies are red shifted from the perspective of all galaxies, thus they are expanding away from a point on a similar vector, and thus have a central point?
No central point there
Heyy this property features in the accidental time machine by Joe Haldeman
See, that's a problem they always skip in time-travel movies.
At least in Doctor Who, the T.A.R.D.I.S. can't teleport through space as well as through time, solving that problem. But most time machines don't
Also ghosts likely wouldn't be affected by a gravitational pull, so the concept doesn't make sense and there'd just be a trail of ghosts in space.
Can't they just float and follow the Earth? Or would it be too fast? What's the terminal velocity of a ghost?
What is this comment in response to?
Glad I’m not the only one confused. Who’s talmbout ghosts
I also think about this a lot.
Same place relative to what?
It's space-time, not space and time. Moving backwards in one moves you backwards in the other.
I always wondered about this
