They're trying to make a Time Machine!

Time is really interesting from a physics point of view. We can slow it down but not make it go backwards. We have absolutely no idea why it’s different from the other dimensions. And yet there’s some ways we can do non time limited communications using quantum linked particle pairs. Which somehow seem to communicate backwards in time. It’s mental.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

This about the Large Hard On Collider?

Maybe the directionality of time is not inherent but is imposed by our minds in order to make sense of things?Biffer wrote: Mon Jul 04, 2022 8:31 pm Time is really interesting from a physics point of view.

I've seen that proposed before but I think the general view is that If it was just imposed by our minds then things that aren't governed by our minds would show some evidence of being able to navigate time like any other direction.Tilly Orifice wrote: Wed Jul 06, 2022 2:38 amMaybe the directionality of time is not inherent but is imposed by our minds in order to make sense of things?Biffer wrote: Mon Jul 04, 2022 8:31 pm Time is really interesting from a physics point of view.

mm, well it's true that things seem to change in a constant way as they move in time (Aging) Maybe that's relevant.Biffer wrote: Wed Jul 06, 2022 6:50 amI've seen that proposed before but I think the general view is that If it was just imposed by our minds then things that aren't governed by our minds would show some evidence of being able to navigate time like any other direction.Tilly Orifice wrote: Wed Jul 06, 2022 2:38 amMaybe the directionality of time is not inherent but is imposed by our minds in order to make sense of things?Biffer wrote: Mon Jul 04, 2022 8:31 pm Time is really interesting from a physics point of view.

Probably needing to put even more 50 pence pieces in the meter these days, what with the rise on energy prices.Kawazaki wrote: Tue Jul 05, 2022 9:15 pm I think I read somewhere that the electricity bill is about €48m a year to run the LHC.![]()

I read in the "Time Travel weekly" magazine that they actually managed to build on in 2052.
