World's FIRST, or world's WORST?
AMIRITE? :D
No? Ok.

And I think at some point, this picture should be mentioned:

That is the first thing I will do if time travel is possible. Teach a T-Damn-Rex how to fly an F 15.
Then kill Will Ferrel. But enough of that.

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.
...time is affected by love too.
Oh that is so damn true. The question is WHY on earth is it that boring and stupid stuff feels like it lasts longer, but enjoyable things make time go by like sonic on speed?

It's insane.

As I once said "Time flies when you're having fun. Therefore, Love and fun are bad for your life expectancy...but good for everything else!"
It is as it is, I do not know why, but I do know that love is stronger than the evil, how?

Well; the bad lasts a mere moment if your love is there beside you.

Well, if we did get a time machine working in the future:
*We would've encountered someone from that period already
*The machine creates another dimension seperate of ours, thus we would never know.
*When they do discover it, the planet is so balanced and in order that nobody would want to come back here.
*The world ends before we can make one (I'm not saying 2012 is right, the world could end at any time, 2 seconds or 2 millinea. We'll never know...)
OR time travel can only be achieved back to when the first time machine is invented. Like a rail system. Can't travel to a station that hasn't been built yet.
Except it would be destinations chronologically instead of geographically.

How about we just NOT fuck with time and space?

Maybe we can send someone back to make sure Christianity never happens, that would be the best thing we could do.

Surely if this is successful then the human race will either self-promote itself to the status of God-like beings or it will destroy itself in a paradox.. still either will be fun..

But seriously, this is massive in terms of advances being able to have scientific (theoretical) access to the entirety of the universe.. certainly should bring man closer to discovering the true origins..

This is a nice theory and all .. how they ever plan to detect these particles is quite another story.

I believe that if it worked, it would already have happened. Either that or tear the universe.

Science: Continually striving to DOOM US ALL.
do not, only if the experiment works, and they start decrypting the time travel particles would it happen

This article doesn't mention that the only way to send a message back in time would be to "attach" a "message" to a singlet. So even if we did, we'd only be able to send it to someone who had already developed the ability to send it. It would be pretty neat if we discovered the singlet with a message on it that said, "congratulations, time travel is possible!" or perhaps "It's a trap! Don't look for the singlet!"

We would most likely start receiving messages from the "future" the moment someone got that hing working.

Creepy...

....Except Christianity (and religion in general) is NOT the problem. The PROBLEM is the stupid lunatic extremist *insert insulting term for humans here* that take it too damn seriously and screw everything up. (Personally, I used to be Catholic, now I'm pretty much Agnostic)

Christianity would be awesome if everyone who followed it understood that it was basically all about "be nice, respectful, etc to everyone", and stopped being like "BUT IN THE BOOK WRITTEN BY OLDSCHOOL SCHOLARS OF THE TIME, GAY = EVUL!!!". What matters is the MESSAGE behind the religion (For Christianity, it's supposed to be respect and acceptance of others despite their faults, believe it or not), not the damn details written down by biased humans trying to make sure their society's values were immortalized to pester future, more progressive generations.

Also, why are you picking on Christianity, out of all religions? three are other that are FAR more likely to create dangerous extremist followers.

Can't argue with that. The girl I'm with (My first ever), was the final piece that allowed me to fully recover and grow my self-esteem. Took me five years and finding a totally awesome girlfriend, but I feel like I've FINALLY recovered the self-worth that my high school stole from me.

I think you need some kind of other machine to receive the messages...
Then sending messages to the past would be useless since no one would be able to pick them up. I guess the future is the only possible route here.

A simple message is enough to mess it up!
But what if everything is in the future as we make it to be now.
Example if we send a message to past to me saying don't fart next to the stranger with pink hair. But future has been laid out so that I have already received the message, so that when I get the message in past and time goes on and after I send it the result will be the same.
Hold on... That makes no sense.

But in basic, time is not an universe it is a status. So if I change the status of the past it wont change the status of future, otherwise I would need to be able to change the status of everything the state of evey particle would need to change.

Umm.. still doesn't sound right.

What if future is just as we lay it out to be now. No matter if we change the past it doesn't change what is now. Think them as 2 time lines, one will go on, one will change.

In a sense (Or rather nonsense) Can we jump in to the same river twice? We do not know what time is yet. Is it a state, a moving object, a wall, energy or something that doesn't exist at all.

I personally think that there is no time. It isn't anything. Things just go on. Universe just keeps moving forward

¨But hold on. Didn't the article mention that the singlet can move in time but matter can't. So If I receive message from future the matter of the future wont change but the matter of our future will change.

Or just forget this message, this is confusing me... Ill just take some tramadol and go back to sleep.

Whats even more terrifying is that they're most likely going to send us the exact date for mankind's destruction...
Who knows about that, but if that thing ended up being true (doubtful) and someone built a machine that could encode information within a bunch of those singlets (even more doubtful), you could bet your ass that the moment someone turned the link that goes both way on, the thing would suddenly start receiving information from the future as it would be likely that a future would exist where the machine had already been operational for a while--the issue would be which future would that be? A few seconds after launch, a few hours, a few years, etc.?

Oh, science, how I love thee.
