If you had a special ability, what would it be?

If being completely impossible to kill by any means count, then that. Otherwise, pyrokinesis. Because it would be fun.
Convincing people would be a fun ability. But I don't know if thats very super powerly. Invunerability? Or super healing, like wolverine. I do a lot of crazy shit, and it would totally come in handy. I had a hobby out of sliding down hand rails on my feet. I never really got the hang of landing, The most I could hope for was a decent roll when I hit the concrete.
It's from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ5CqqK89QEIzakflashman said:
I'd have to go with shapeshifting, the less limits the better. If I was limited between human and another form, I'd probably choose between a mimiga (from the game Cave Story), cat, or moogle. Or some other fuzzy creature you can hold in your arms. I dunno.
I checked it out. The video has been removed. =(. Damn youtube and its gayness these days on cracking down on things.. Or perhaps it was the author..ProjectileVomit said:
It isn't time travel! Because actually on that star, things are happening on the same parralel time as on earth, it's just the delay of light! When we see people, we see them as they were a billionth of a second ago, is that time travel? No. It's trickery of light.SinisterDeath said:Are you stupid? Or do you have a condition.Ago Iterum said:Are you just stupid? Or do you have a condition.SinisterDeath said:There are several theories on time travel.Ago Iterum said:
1. You can only 'observe' or 'see' into the past, but not interact. (This one is 100% true.)
2. Time travel devices to send information in the past, can only send information back, as long as the device exists. So escentially I would have to invent it, then send myself information from the future back.
Your asking your self now, how can #1 be true? How can I prove it?
Its simple.
Anyone right now, can see into the past. ITs fairly simple, and we have been doing it for about as long as humanity has existed, and more then likely before.
Its fairly simple process.
Wait till around 21:00 hours, go outside, and tilt your head up to the sky.
See that shiny thing? thats a star. Its several houndred light years away.
You know what that means? Your seeing several houndred years into the past.
ZOMG Time Travel!
pwned?
We're talking about people travelling through time. Looking up at the stars is seeing delayed light, if you were at that star, you won't've travelled time at all. What you will see will be unnoticably different to what we see on earth, but that's due to the light.
Think about it before making retarded comments like that.
And as for your time machine theory, if it was that simple, it would've been done already. But it's not, and you can't, don't be stupid.
We ARE tlaking about people travelling through time, but as it has been stated before, YOU CAN'T TRAVEL THROUGH TIME. Becaues the very act of time travel would create a grandfather paradox. Now, the only possible way time travel can exist, is if the very proccess of time travel allows you to see/hear or in another words, Experience the 'past' but not actually change or alter it. THERE IS ONLY WAY TO DO IT. And we do it everytime you look up at the stars. It is 'delayed light' but it is alos seeing into the past. IT is not retarded, nor a condition. it is a simple fact. THAT IS the simpilist form of TIME TRAVEL!
So your going to ask 'so how can we see 200 year sinto our past then. HUH?
Simple by playing with worm holes and furhter advanced 'hubble telescopes'.
Simply speaking, if I look up, and see a star 200 light years away, I AM seeing what has happened 200 years ago, on that star. That is time travel.
So, how do we 'see' or 'experience' earth 200 years ago?
Well, the only way is to 'go' 200 light years away, 'now'. And the 'only' way to do that is to 'bend' the rules of space and time, via worm holes. And that is basically where you take two places in space, bring themtogether, and 'tunnel through'. (so to speak)
This IS the only way to travel faster then the speed of light. The problem is, wormholes, while theoretically possible, only exist for nano-seconds if that, and the time the 'bridge' is made is even smaller, and immediately collapses... Finding a way to create, and keep said path open, won't be an easy task... (let alone getting anything, even information through; is going to be just as challanging.)
Once your 200 light years away from earth, 2009, you'd be able to 'see' earth as it was 200 years ago. It would be impossible to actually go there, and your not actually back in the year 1809, but you ARE seeing it. Imagine it something along the lines of a TV channel that you can turn to, and watch what the earth, or other various things on earth looked like 200+ years ago.
The only way to physically travel back in time, (As a human, and not as information) would require the ability to take a worm hole, and connect it not just between one point in space, and another in space, but one point in space/time with another point in space/time. And even then, its possible that the 'laws of the universe' would prevent you from doing anything that would change anything at all. And more then likely, you wouldn't actually be in the past, you'd probably be in some tangent-space/time alternate universe.
You can't physically travel through time. Shut up.
