Here's a quote for you....

There's no future in time travel.

Researchers have already cast much darkness on the subject, and if they continue their investigations, we shall soon know nothing at all about it.

Mark Twain

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, theory and practice are different.

I don't believe in time travel.

Whether or not we ever devise a means to travel through time isn't actually the point ... for all I know, maybe Mankind will manage it someday. My point is that, even if we did, it'd be useless.

My five word proof as to the total impracticality of time travel, is this ... 'Everything Moves, All The Time'.

... and so it does. There's literally no such thing as 'stillness' in our Universe.

The Earth travels around 66,000 miles in the course of a single hour ... I think this describes its passage along its orbit. Add to that the Earth's rotational speed. Add to that the fact that the Sun we orbit, itself moves around the Galaxy. Add to that the constant movements of galaxies relative to each other, in what's thought to be a constantly expanding Universe.

Now consider: if any journey through time was made to witness any event ... it's not merely necessary to reach the right point in time, but the right LOCATION for it, as well. To travel one hour back in time, you also have to be a minimum of 66,000 miles distant to reach the location of that event.

The greater the time-jump, the greater the distance involved ...

If any form of 'anchoring' was to be contemplated .. how would it work ? Not via gravity, because gravity needs the normal flow of time to function. So ... there'd be the perpetual need to get to where you want to be...

Maybe I've miscalculated. But - I reckon that to go back to Dallas, 22nd November 1963, you'd have to reach it ... approximately 29 BILLION miles away, because that's where the Earth was, back then ....

.... best of luck .. !!! .....

"Our constitution protects aliens, drunks and U.S. Senators." Will Rogers.

And I would add...."LIARS as well." The same as U.S. Senators. Right Harry Reid?

And, I found one for Gabby, who has bragged about being so much more intelligent than the rest of us here:

"There is nothing as stupid as an educated man(woman) if you get him/her off the thing he was educated in." Will Rogers

*There is little hope for the black community....Liberalism has basically imprisoned their minds to the point of no return....It would be Interesting to hear how Allen West or Ben Carson would have addressed the Nation Last night...The Nation desperately needs more leaders like them....`

`.......Who bum-rushed a cop with a frown
Six bullets later...he met his creator....
And his homies burned the town down.....`




`......There was once a cop from Missouri
Who went up before the grand jury
They had a big fight.... but didn't indict...
And the town burned down in a fury.`



`.......There once was a Ferguson thug,
who really just needed a hug.
But Jesse and Al and Obama their pal...
swept his history under the rug`

U.S. Military Lawyers and Judges from as far back as 2003 warned against "enhanced interrogation" :

Maj. Gen. Jack Rives, the deputy judge advocate general of the Air Force 2003, He wrote in a February 2003 memo that several of the proposed techniques.
“on their face, amount to violations of domestic and criminal law and the UCMJ (e.g., assault) …”

Maj. Gen. Thomas Romig, Army judge advocate general, wrote in a March 2003 memo to the Department of the Air Force general counsel.
“I question whether this theory would ultimately prevail in either U.S. courts or in any international forum,”

Romig, now retired from the military, said in an recent interview,
“Torture is an international crime. It has no statute of limitations. I would not, if I were those people, travel to a foreign country,”

Outstanding quote

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
