I was thinking the same thing sometime next week

Interesting thread, anyone ever googled "John Titor" apparently already happened or should i say, yes poss soon well 2036 to be exact, and yes theve been back already using time travel,
This person showed drawings and talked openly about his time machine and reason for returning,
Google John titor, have a read, seems convincingly possible,
John Titor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Titor is a nutbar....

try reading the Philadelphia experiment by Charles Berlitz,interesting and thought provoking take on the concept of time travel (and supposedly true).

fourth paragraph down in that link,fact is most definitely in there,oh by the way I did state supposedly in my post,a fact you deemed so important you felt it necessary to underline but failed to to consider it important enough to pay any more attention to.

have you read the book and formed your own opinions on the truth or fiction contained within the pages or just believe what skeptic.com tells you.i have read it and found it most entertaining,why not pm me your address and I will gladly post it on to you if you have not,who knows,you may enjoy it and form an opinion on it yourself.

try to sit and read it though,preferrably in a comfy chair as opposed to that high horse you are currently sat on

Just wondering if you could travel faster than the speed of light ,would you see yourself arriving ?

[HibbyDave]

I you were really fast you could see yourself leaving....

I got on a City Sprinter bus in Glasgow yesterday, thought I'd traveled back to the 80's......

[DOUGALMCD]

You must've been desperate.

As long as nobody saw you coming.

I was waiting to for that , tried to avoid it by using "arriving" but seriously what would one see if you looked back travelling faster than the speed of light?

[GastonJ]

Can't think you'd see anything because the light reflecting off the objects behind you wouldn't be reflect back to your eyes. So I'd guess the opposite of light which isn't really dark, but the absence of light.

That does make perfect sense , thanks for the answer, off now to think up the next silly question

[GastonJ]

That's ok, anytime

I'm still waiting to find a credible answer to my questions which is "If the universe is the biggest thing ever and it's expanding then it must be expanding into something, which means it isn't the biggest thing surely?" People always come up with the balloon example, but that doesn't hold water, since when balloons expand they're still expanding into something. I think it's just a crap answer with no thought put into it at all. For something to expand it means it's getting bigger, but that still means that it has to have room inside something else to get bigger into..... Perhaps they should go with the truth - "The universe is the second biggest thing ever, but we don't know what the biggest thing is, but the universe is expanding into it"
