The secret to time travel revealed

    I've been hiding out away from humans for a little while and I think I have a formula for time travel that I wanted to share.

    Basically, time is a made up thingy all numbers and stuff right? And time is made based on the earths movements for day and night. right?

    The earth spins, but at what speed? In other words if you walked along with the speed of earth at exactly the same pace then time would stand still?

    But how can it stand still if days go by, in other words if you traveled at the same pace of time across earth days would still go by even though your travelling to the time dictated by earth.

    If you pull the key board away from his hands at the same speed his fingers move to hit the keys his newsletter doesn't exist.

    actually only if I'm walking at the pace of the earth in the right direction of time. For that matter what is the right direction.... Like If I walked from now until I die will I stay the same age?

    So what's this formula?

    Thingy² >= numbers and stuff / 24 x 365?

    There are so many "No" and "Facepalm" memes on the internet, Grumpy Cat, Captain Picard etc etc.

    If AH let me post picture, I would post them all for that comment.

    One of the biggest plot holes in cinematic history!

    The planet spinning in the opposite direction will not reverse time. Nor will what the OP suggests as he'll notice when he walks/swims across the International Date Line.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Some humans aren't worth my time.... If I could walk the reverse pace to turn back time and never meet them I would

    Put a watch on a train, and watch time travel.

    I also have a theory that humans are the planets for germs and bacteria.

    You got it messed up OP. The earth is spinning, therefore to counter-act that you need to spin yourself but in the opposite direction of the planet. You don't need to do it too fast, a gradual spin of one revolution per day (but with your body roughly centered and standing) ought to do the trick.

    but if I start walking the pace of the earth revolving I won't get it because time will stand still

    If you could jump high enough OP you would technically land back in the past as the earth keeps spinning forward into the future


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,436 ✭✭✭c_man


    OP why were you hiding out from humans?

    actually I did consider this in my theory and I'm still undecided. Like although it would me a milli milli second once you move anywhere time changes right. In other words someone at the end of the road is in a different time than you. Because the earth is subdivided into time zones and you can further filter it down if you wish...

    You can't walk at that pace. You need a rocket pack like I have.

    Was hoping for a Titor-esque thread.

    Got a terrible re-hash of one of the worst movie plots ever.

    My time travel can make you forget this ever happened.....

    The end of your road gets darker earlier.
    I suggest selling lightbulbs.
