  1. Hmm so are we doing a second Mosaic for this years Brickfair? I missed when we were jumping on ship for the Kopaka one so I'd like to participate. I'm not making a commitment yet but I'm think of it. I have several baseplates and I think it would be worth it. -Popup2
  2. Remind me to keep you close by just in case I get petrified ^^

  3. Double-posting is against the rules. As such, the double posts in the comments section must be fixed before this can be republished. <<DV>> Originally posted on Jan 29 2010, 03:45 PM. Well I was reading CF blog entry about time travel, so I started typing.... and the typing some more....and some more... And it turned out to be quite long so I don't think it would be appropriate to have a suppppppppppppppppper long comment so I'm going to post what I wrote here and then link it on his blog. I love Window of Opportunity. "Next time I won't be so forgiving!" "What? This is the first time." "If we don't find a way out of this I'm going to loose it.....loose it...it means go crazy....bonsai... no longer in the possession of the fact that he's three fries short of a happy meal. WACKO!!!" Types of Universes: Well back to time travel. It all depends on what type of universe you want to use. I'm just going to make up some terms to use so forgive me if it seems a bit odd but oh well. It helps me think about stuff better. In a "static" universe time is going on at all points in time so that if you jump from one timezone to another, you cease to exist in your previous timeline. So if you go to the point of time and space in which he time traveled, he wouldn't be there. So basically there is only one person place and so on. So if you change what time your in, you not in the other timezone. This is the kind of universe that Star Trek takes place. Heres an example of the properties of this universe. You have a time machine. But once you use it. It completely disapears from were it was created because there can only be one of an object (Unless you go into clones but thats another post ) In a "Continuing" universe as I'll call it, (I suck at making names lol) If time travel is in affect, the time line is always changing. If you go to the time and place in which some one is time traveling. You will see them going in the process. Its kind of hard to explain. So in this universe there are multiple copies of yourself doing different things at the different times that you exist. Of these two types of universe there are even more types of side universes that I can think of. There is the "String" universe cause I think this is what string theory deals with. But any way. String universe deal with the idea that everything that is happens cannot change no matter if you time travel or not. This is the kind of universe that I believe the Harry Potter is in. Because in the Prisoner of Azkaban (Spelling [sorry only seen the first 3 movies once and just started the first book today actually lol]) they attempt to change what happened but in reality they actually fulfill what actually happened. And then there is the "Tree" universe. This deals with the idea that at every possible occurance in time there is an infinate number of possible out comes. So there are in theory, infinate number of universe, every one different than the other. But it is possible to change what happens in your "Leaf" of the timeline. If you continue the tree example. If you were to take a time machine and travel to a place were a "branch meets another branch" and you change what happened this causes the universe that you reside in to no longer take that path. Hmm...As I was thinking about that I realized something. There are two more universes that fall under these. There is the universe where there are infinate universes for every possible outcome. But a second universe could be that 1 universe travels along the "Branches" making descissions as to what is happening. So there are an infinate number of options but only one path is taken by the universe. If it were some how possible to jump back to a break, you can change the direction the universe goes. The two major types of universes, Static and continuing, can be either String and the two types of Tree. Static is the basic universe and String is a “Zoomed” in with more definite things that must be in order for it to be. The tree theories can be categorized into Continuous except for the last one, because that was kind of inbetween the two. The types of universes I’m talking about are just universes in which time travel is actually possible and can be achieved. There could be many other types of universe I’m just writing what I can think of. How to stop time travelers in the different universes: Ok, now that I've told the universe maybe I can talk about how you can stop some one in each universe...Ya why not, I'm bored enough to write this much already. In the Static universe theory. If some one time travels to another point in time, they no longer exists in the time where they are. So the only way to stop them is to destroy the time machine in what ever time zone its in. If it is destroyed that object ceases to exist. It neither exists in the time in whats made or at all the other points in time. In the Continuing universe, if you destroy the time machine in the timeline that its moved to, you will only destroy the copy that went to the past/future. And there still exists in the time when it came from that hasn't yet gone into the future. On the string theory universe, if something goes wrong, oh well theres no way to change what happened. It may appear to people that go into the past that they change the outcome, but since it has already happened to the people before them (Kind of like the grand father paradox) As I was writing this I realized that there’s really two types of Time travel. Going forward and going backward. All the stuff that I've written so far deals with both of them. But I guess I'll write about that later... Back counteracting time travel. Ok. What were we on? Ah the Tree universe. The way to counter act time travel there is to go to the point that they changed and stop them to traveling. Another way is to leap to a point that is a major point in their creating the time travel device and to stop it from being ever exist. But since it never existed you would never have to go, but since you didn’t go it was made which makes you need to do it and so on. With the Main tree theory, the way to counter it is just change the events in the past that lead up to what you don’t want happened. But with the last tree theory, the only way to stop an event is to go to a “leaf” or “Branch” that is before the time they went back and changed it. Going to the point that is changed and redirecting it toward the future that you want to. As I was thinking about the Harry Potter universe, what would happen if you used a time ticker and went into the past and destroyed the same time ticker that you used to go back in time. That does create a paradox, and I think there is a way out of it thou. Hmm…Actually I think its too big and boggling for me to think about I tonight. Time Travel, Future vs. Past: Ok, as I mentioned earlier, there is a big difference between going to the past and changing things and then going to the future except in a few universes. In a static universe, if you go back in time it affects you however you changed the time line. But if you go into the future… Hmm…I can’t seem to wrap my head around this… Because, the question I’m asking is, what happens if your in a static universe and go into the future and change things. Does it in some way affect you? Hmm.. well if you go back to Star Trek. If you go to the future…Ok you know what I think I’ll skip that for now. Ok, well… the continuing universe is next. Well, in the this universe if you do something in the past, it affects the future. But in the future it is possible to stop this…. Hmm… I think I’m getting a bit too tired…. Eureka! Ok well, the in general if you are the first person to invent a time machine/ and no one has come back and fiddle with the timeline, no matter what universe you inhabit, your actions in the future will not affect you at all. This will be changed in some universes though. If you are the third/last tree universe, if some one comes from the future and changes something before you, and then you go and change something before their time using time travel in will in turn affect that person causing your universe to follow another path and one that doesn’t include what the person changed, so their actions are nulled. Say there are two scientists. Bob, who lives in the 24th century, and Steve who lives in the 30th century. Steve wants time travel to be invented earlier so he goes to the 23rd century and plants the seeds to the unlocking of time travel. So bob in order to try out his new time machine he goes to the 29th century and kills Steve’s grandfather. Then Steve is never born, ergo, (I love that word ) Steve never goes back in time, and never plants the seeds. Basically it creates a grandfather paradox…Again… This is all in the third tree universe. Another way to “time travel”: or to get the affects of it In the second universe I just realized there is another way to get the affects of time travel with out having to go back in time. You just need to make a dimensional portal. If you can find the universe where the thing you wanted accomplished is the only thing that is different, you can go to that universe. And thus you accomplish what could be done with time travel with out having to go back in time….Only thing… I’m a little rusty on dimentional portals… Any who, it is basically the same boat as the static universe in this sense. Ok back to the other universes. As I think about it in all of the universes I’ve proposed, unless there is a second time traveler affecting the future will not affect you. I think I’m going to try to find out what the Star Gate universe is based upon the episodes. Hmm, they seem to be in a static universe, but they have multiple dimentions as well.. Agh, I’ve already lost my train of thought from last night >.< I give up on this…. I have Never read time trap, as I know that deals with time travel so I’m not very familiar with Bionicles Time travel because all I know is how the Nuva used it to slow time. And plus a lot of the stuff in Bionicle is supernatural esk. Aka, impossible. Types Of Universes: Just to make this more clear Static- Every thing that has happened will always happened and it may appear to be able to change but it really is impossible. Continuing – Well the time line is always changing, that is with time travel in the picture and there are multiple copies of everything. String- is a type of Static universe in which everything is fixed and it is impossible to change anything. Tree – Well, these universes deal with the idea that in every point of time where something happens there is an infinite number of possibilities. 1) Infinate number of universes for every possible outcome. 2) Infinate paths that could be taken but only one is chosen. And if you get over 50% of this with out your brain falling out on the floor. 10 awesome points to ya, and a virtual high five. Can you tell what I wanna do when I grow up?.....Well if you can, can you tell me cause I still don't know ....

Two days ago I saw the brothers Grim. Well most of it. It was a good movie and I liked it a lot. My favorite part was when he kicked the cat into the blender thing. After I saw it I looked it up and watched it again and again. I was hilarious. Well another good movie I saw was Terminator 2. I only saw the last 1 and a half- 2 hours of it. I didn't see the beginning so I had to rely on my bro to fill me in. But it was a pretty good movie. Although it did make me think back to my Time travel universes. I haven't seen enough to be able to identify which one though :/ And then finally the good TV show I saw was MacGyver. Always a good show ^^. I was happy to see it was on and so I changed to it and watched it. The first 2 episodes were and average MacGyver episode. Ya know, soviet retired generals, priceless Jade artifact, some one he thought was dead, some one he thought was an enemy but wasn't. Ya know. Stuff like that. The second episode was more interesting in my opinion. It was called Ghost ship. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Well to tell you the story. Mac's friend the bald guy (can't think of his name ) has a friend who works in preserve of Alaska. But since a new preserve they need to map it out. MacGyver volunteers for the hardest area. So he heli's out to his drop point and then quickly gets his first of four beacons (for mapping) but then as he is walking along he sees a bay. And in that bay is a very unusual thing. A large ship. As he says "One problem I have is I can never leave a puzzle" or something like that. So he goes down to the bank, makeshiftly (I just made an awesome word ) fixes a boat and paddle and paddles out to the boat. He gets on the boat calling out to potential crew members but there's no answer. So he starts exploring. He finds no crew and he makes his way to the main cabin. He lifts up a newspaper and something that should/couldn't be there....is there.. A giant paw print made in blood. At this moment a harry creature crashes through the window and starts chasing Mac all over the boat grunting and making a big mess of the boat. He finally is able to jam a door shut and start to run away when he realizes something else is in the room with him...He picks up a pipe and is about to strike what ever's in with him. But at the last second he stops because its a woman. She is of course scared and isn't speaking. But then the harry creature burst through and their off again. They run around a ship a bit before jumping of the side and swimming to shore. The quickly walk away and make camp. After attempts at talking she finally replies. She explains she was coming to Alaska to see her father. She and her brother/cousin (can't remember which) hears about a ship going here. So they stowed away. But as soon as they anchored at that bay the monster came and killed her brother/cousin. At night three creepy hunters come and join them. They swap their info about the creature until the old guy says "Sasquatch". Mac is a little skeptical "I a person of facts" he tells them or something along those lines. And so they agree to get moving first thing in morning. But when they wake up they're gone. The keep walking until they come across some people tampering with the Alaskan pipeline. So Mac goes to go get help but just as he leaves her they find her. Then he comes back and saves her and while their out looking for him. He goes to the pipe. Stops the flow. Stuff his three transmitters in the pipe and then open the flow. This is to attract his friends to him. Well then they start booking it to the top of the hill when...dun dun duhhhhh....Theres big foot. The woman screams (which she did at the biginning and end of almost all of the commercials) and MacGyver fight. Mostly its bigfoot throwing him around and Mac avoiding all of bigfoots attacks. Then finally he is able to jump on his back when hes turned his back to go after her. He struggles to throw Mac of but when he finally gets him of Mac is able to grab something as big foot fell down the hill. The thing that he grabbed was a TUDAH a mask. Big foot is knocked out. And by this time his friends have come and they take out the other bad guys and save the day. In all, an attempt at stealing oil is stopped but some one is still dead. Well it was a lot more exiting watching it than reading my poor explanation . Kudos to you if you read it all ^^ Well I need to get to sleep.
  5. My birthday was awesome yesterday...But on to today. Well this morning/this night... (Still dark out, just finished about 20 minutes ago) I made a snow duck. Its about 4 ' maybe 4' 5" but I'm not really sure. I'll try to put up pics soon but right now I'm really tired, but not cold any more ^^, so I want to get some sleep.
  6. *Feels stupid* Wow...I meant we're both 15 not 16....

  7. Hey dude...this is kind of creepy...You have the same birthday as me and we're both 16 O.o ^^ Are we like twin bros separated?

  8. Yep ^^. For my birthday tomorrow I got all the stars. I know it sounds kinda weird but...Just what ever.... Well any who, I got all the Stars for my B-Day because they are the last sets....for now.. I have already opened Tahu (Cause I had to pay for that.) But that was just a small event, a happy but small event, in my day. Well school went pretty normal. Man I love my class . But after school was when the fun started. Me and my best friend had about 2 and a half hours to burn so we decided to play chess. (We're both nerds ). So first we played a normal round. I think I won that one. And thats when we got the idea of, "Lets see who can loose first"...that was soo much fun. We literally had the openest gaps in our defenses and every thing in me just said "Go take his this" or "Go take his that" but I controlled my self. After about 30 minutes it started to get a little boring so I turned and put him in check mate, making me loose. Although one fun thing I did was rearranged my entire back row side ways... He cracked up when he saw what I was doing. After that we played a version of chess I've always wanted to try. Its normal chess but with one other rule...well two but it kinda follows the first rule. At any time on your own turn, you can call "stop" and then you switch sides. And you get to do this 1 or two times depending on how you play. My friend had an interesting stratagy. Kill off himself then switch. But in the end I think I won that one ^^ It was fun though. Then we played pawn rush until the end of the time we had to burn. Chess is fun... Oh and we still haven't been able to know if my Bros going to go to the next level of the Mock Trial. The second part, the one that he's not in, was supposed to be on last Friday but it was canceled because of the snow. I can't wait for tomorrow. I'm going to wake up early and cook up an entire package of bacon. All for me. I've always wanted to try it ^^. And then for lunch I was going to eat 4 pudding cups but I decided not to. Just going to have 1 and a sandwich. I can't wait.
  9. We got a lot of snow. Like 1 1/2 feet. But unfortunately it wasn't the right kind of snow. Aha that might be the sound I've been hearing all day. Maybe my bro is making a snow man with his alternative method ^^ I can't tell you how but its probably easy to guess. Well any way since last year my neighbour got a snow blower but it was broken, so my dad fixed it. So now its like a communal snow blower. So since we had a ton of snow he maxed out the tork (spelling?) of it so it sent the snow like 10-15 feet depending on the wind. But then I still had to shovel the bottom layer. But it wasn't too bad. Well my old headphones are now completely dead >.<. They were really good quality sound, but fortunately we had a spare around. But unfortunately the sound quality isn't as good. So I'm going to get another pair of my old ones and keep my current one as a spare. Woops....Forgot to post this this morning.. Oh well, I'm just watching the super bowl while doing the Home work I neglected on the weekend.
  10. Ya I love the comics ^^ I hope to get one of the books soon.

  11. Well today was an interesting day, as normal . First I'll start with school, I had the same schedule as usual, first class went normal, (Won a dollar from the teacher for being the first to complete the in school project thing {For some reason I'm really good at those things ^^}), and way, then I had study hall, didn't get much done besides reading a few pages of HP 1 (Sorcerer's Stone), and then Geometry. It was a fun class as normal, I know that doesn't happen in most schools but I love my class/classes and I would never want to go to another school. Well any way after Geometry we had lunch. Usually me and my bro get an entire pizza to ourselves (Its kind of funny because all the high school gets 2 boxes) but since my bro had mock trial again I was left with entire pizza ^^. I was only able to eat 2 pieces before we had to go. I usually eat 3-4 pieces but back to my story. Then on the car ride up we listened to a comedian named Tim Hawkings. Oh wow was he funny. Almost every one was cracking up laughing for the entire car ride down. Then we find the parking garage and then walk over to the court room and while going through security I look up and my dads there. I didn't even think he was coming to watch so I was like "Dad?" "Oh there you are." we were 2 feet from each other and we didn't know the other was there for little bit. Then we make our ways down the hall, up the elevator (Oh interesting story, we found a sign that had a bunch of things written on it giving directions to different sections of the court house. On of them was Dog and Hunting Licenses. So some one put their had in front of and so it became "Dog Hunting Licenses") ok then we sat down and waited for a member of the Jury who was late (I think he/she was sick) so we waited for a bit then they started. At first it was kind of interesting but after awhile it got kinda boring. Well the case was, there is this guy who is missing but there is not body, no witnesses to the murder just out side of the building. The clues point to the boss but he had an allaby (I have no idea how to spell that lol). The company was an insurance firm and they lost almost all their money after some one falsifide records to make his program look good. And basically stuff like that including a Inspector, the major investor who committed suicide after loosing all his money and that persons wife. Well I don't think I should put my bro's teams ideas up because its kind of hush hush so their ideas have to be kept secret. Well to make a long story short there are two teams. A defence and a...man I can't think of the name....Oh the prosecution team. In order to have them go on to the next level both teams need to go on. My bro is on the defence team and today, well yesterday, they won ^^ (But just barely they said). But not today/tomorrow depending how you look at it, they Prosecution team has to win to go on and I hope they win ^^. After watching the mock trial I was thinking, man I could never do this. Its all too formal for me and its kinda boring, but I might wanna try it to see if its different on the other side of the railing. ---------------- Well I've been spending my spare time going through old comics and getting a lot of chuckles. I'm cutting out the best ones. Dilberts, Rhymes with Orange, Opus and all those other goodies. I'm only cutting out the ones that are really funny. And now to the second half of the title...my poor head phones.... It just happened all of a sudden. I was listening to music (Skillet) and I noticed the left ear wasn't sounding right. It kept cutting off than coming back. Then all the sound just stopped. No attempts at fixing have worked. I got this interesting wooden puzzle a few days ago. Its a puzzle were you have to first take it apart and then put it back together. How I aproached it, was I took it apart very carefully studied every step. My bro on the other hand just completely tares it apart. The only hard thing about it now is to get the base. Its kinda tricky to get the right lay out, but its fun ^^ I like mental challenges. My B-Days coming up ^^ The reason why I can't wait for it is because I'm going to eat an entire package of bacon for breakfast ^^ Thats one reason why I'm exited. Wow this a long entry but I think I'll curl up to HP 1 (SS) and maybe if I can find some headphones some tunes
  12. "Be a fruitloop in a world of Cheerios" Basically how I live my life right there ^^ lol Edit: Just remember a nice quote for this lol "We've reached.....Normality...." "Well we can talk about normal until the cows jump over our home" "What is normal?" "What is home?" "What are cows?"
  13. Going to my friends party makes me look forward to mine ^^ Just a week away. It just had to be school day :/ but I'm waking up really early and cooking an entire bacon pack just for me ^^. I just finished up my history cards. I'm writing a paper on Islam and I have a WHOLE lot to read on it and I'm really busy... Oh, today, after school, we got to see Wooster and Jeeves the tv show that our play was based on. Oh man it was hilarious. Although I CAN wait to do the newt dance...Its my part and this is what the script says: " Leans back and shakes chest vigorously" oh boy is that part going to be fun to play. And my other character I play is Rismby and he steals the oddest things lol. I stole an elk lol I can't wait till we do it, but I'm probably going to have to go to EVERY practice because my bro is the main character and he has to be there every day almost... I need to get to sleep, I have school tommorow and I wound not like to be half asleep again lol (Although I've never actually fallen asleep in class) I'll leave you with the final words of the play "Well Sir, one cannot make an omelet with out breaking any eggs."
  14. I wish we got 7 inches. Where I got we only got a slight dusting and only about 1 inch stuck and its totally useless snow The last big snow fall, my bro made a 10 foot or so snowman, I can't remember exactly how tall but it was huge. But before that he made 7 or so smaller ones and then he wacked them to pieces with his machete ^^ It was fun. I also threw a tiny knife into the snowman from a good distance away....Good times...
  15. Man I am so tired... After church I went to my friends house and stayed there for his B-Day party. Man was it fun. Probably the best thing that happened was the games we played. We played Dirtball and Mafia. In dirtball I kept rising up through the ranks, vice dirtball 4th commoner, 1st commoner but then we stopped. Then in Mafia I kept on becoming the mafia and I once had a very fun round. There were three people mafians, me and another maffian voted off one of the mafians so that left me and some one else. Then in the voting I helped vote the other one off. So I was the only mafian for the rest of the game. Over all it was a very fun time but now I am very tired. Now I can't wait for my birthday (Feb. 9th ^.^), although it is a school day, I get to have an entire packet of bacon for breakfast ^.^ Well now I am dead tired but I still have to do my home work since I've been busy every day since Thurs. (Bible quizzing practice on thursday after school, then went to a friend's house, then on friday I had to clean and get ready for the tournament, Sat was a bible quiz tournament and today was a friends party so I haven't had time) Well I got to get to work. Oh and I loved The Bourne Ultimatum it was awesome and at the end I was like: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Aww man...He can't be died, I mean unless he got hit in the head he could of survived the dive and a gun shot and then at the end I was like "YES!!!!!!! I KNEW IT!!!" Any way it was awesome and now I get to home work while watching M*A*S*H (Love it ^.^)
  16. I'm watching the Bourne Ultimatum. I love the first one so I hope this is as good. So far its kind of confusing and if I hadn't seen the first one I would be completely lost lol. Any way I went to a MACSA bible quizzing tournament. I did pretty well, but I didn't win a trophy. The one thing that excited me a lot was it started snowing. Although it didn't snow a lot it was still pretty nice. But it just added to the cold level. The other teams did kinda well. The other middle school team got just as far as we did, but in the novice devision. The high school team didn't do well at all . My team got to the semi finals but we couldn't get any farther. Its a four person team but it was really me and another person that did almost all the work. Me and her got all the questions but one and a few free questions. But it was still fun, seeing all the people I've met a few times. After the quiz was the long and dreary car ride home we went to staples. As payment for recording all the matches, my mom got me a rubber band balls cause I loved the one the I tried out. If you want to know more about Bible quizzing (At least I'm pretty sure I can) or if you do do it, tell me. Now I'm really tired because I walked probably about 3 miles in total so my legs are pooped. I'm going to finish Bourne Ultimatum, clean a little then go to sleep, or read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone. Well off to the movie. So far its pretty awesome. And now I have to fix my watch because it broke. Just the ring that keeps the thing down so that it doesn't go "flabbing" I don't know how to explain it, but I have to fix my watch... Edit: I'm convinced Duct tape and Electrical tape can fix anything ^^
  17. I'd really like to start blogging more, but my life is busy so I don't always have time/remember, but yet I still have trouble finding something to talk about while blogging lol Well, tommorow/today is a bible quizzing tournament and I hope I do well. I don't have any more physics stuff to talk about any more, I've max my brain... I guess I'll finish this with my favorite quote from The Barber of Saville. "Cheese has fallen on your Macaroni"
  18. Had to merge it with post above. Revised with a more third person point of view and I removed all the comments. Types of Universes: Well back to time travel. It all depends on what type of universe you want to use. I'm just going to make up some terms to use so forgive me if it seems a bit odd but oh well. It helps me think about stuff better. In a "static" universe time is going on at all points in time so that if you jump from one timezone to another, you cease to exist in your previous timeline. So if you go to the point of time and space in which he time traveled, he wouldn't be there. So basically there is only one person place and so on. So if you change what time your in, you not in the other timezone. This is the kind of universe that Star Trek takes place. Heres an example of the properties of this universe. You have a time machine. But once you use it. It completely disapears from were it was created because there can only be one of an object As in Star Trek, they are not able to “fix” the time line because, the time machine in the future doesn’t exist. So they can’t stop him from going to the past in the first place. In a "Continuing" universe ,if time travel is in affect, the time line is always changing. If you go to the time and place in which some one is time traveling. You will see them going in the process. Its kind of hard to explain. So in this universe there are multiple copies of yourself doing different things at the different times that you exist. An example of this universe is the universe in Back to the Future. As the main character has the opportunity to stop him from going in time. In other words, you can see the object disappear when they time travel. Of these two types of universe there are even more types of side universes that I can think of. There is the "String" universe cause I think this is what string theory deals with. String universe deal with the idea that everything that is happens cannot change no matter if you time travel or not. This is the kind of universe that I believe the Harry Potter is in. Because in the Prisoner of Azkaban, they attempt to change what happened but in reality they actually fulfill what actually happened. And then there is the "Tree" universe. This deals with the idea that at every possible point in time that some thing happens there is an infinite number of possible out comes. So there are in theory, infinite number of universe, every one different than the other. But it is possible to change what happens in your "Leaf" of the timeline. If you continue the tree example. If you were to take a time machine and travel to a place were a "branch meets another branch" and you change what happened this causes the universe that you reside in to no longer take that path. There are two more universes that fall under these. There is the universe where there are infinite universes for every possible outcome. The “Leaf” universe because there’s a “Leaf” or different universe for each possible out come. But a second universe could be that 1 universe travels along the "Branches" making decisions as to what is happening. This is the “Single Branch” universe. So there are an infinite number of options but only one path is taken by the universe. If it were some how possible to jump back to a break, you can change the direction the universe goes. The two major types of universes, Static and Continuing, can be either String, Leaf and Single branch types of Tree. Static is the basic universe and String is a “Zoomed” in with more definite things that must be in order for it to be. The tree theories can be categorized into Continuous except for the last one, because that was kind of in-between the two. The types of universes are just universes in which time travel is actually possible and can be achieved. There could be many other types of universe I’m just writing what I can think of as possible for time travel. How to stop time travelers in the different universes: Ok, now that I've told the universe maybe I can talk about how you can stop some one in each universe. In the Static universe theory. If some one time travels to another point in time, they no longer exists in the time where they are. So the only way to stop them is to destroy the time machine in what ever time zone its in. If it is destroyed that object ceases to exist. It neither exists in the time in whats made or at all the other points in time. In the Continuing universe, if you destroy the time machine in the timeline that its moved to, you will only destroy the copy that went to the past/future. And there still exists in the time when it came from that hasn't yet gone into the future. On the string theory universe, if something goes wrong, oh well theres no way to change what happened. It may appear to people that go into the past that they change the outcome, but since it has already happened to the people before them (Kind of like the grand father paradox) In the Tree universes, The way to counter act time travel there is to go to the point that they changed and stop them to traveling. Another way is to leap to a point that is a major point in their creating the time travel device and to stop it from being ever exist. But since it never existed you would never have to go, but since you didn’t go it was made which makes you need to do it and so on. With the Main tree theory, the way to counter it is just change the events in the past that lead up to what you don’t want happened. But with the “Single Branch” theory, the only way to stop an event is to go to a “Branch” that is before the time they went back and changed it. Going to the point that is changed and redirecting it toward the future that you want to therefore counteracting what the other time traveler did. Time Travel, Future vs. Past: There is a big difference between going to the past and changing things and then going to the future except in a few universes. In a static universe, if you go back in time it affects you however you changed the time line. The question I’m asking is, what happens if your in a static universe and go into the future and change things. Does it in some way affect you? Hmm.. well if you go back to Star Trek. If you go to the future…Ok you know what I think I’ll skip that for now. In time travel in general if you are the first person to invent a time machine/ and no one has come back and fiddle with the timeline, no matter what universe you inhabit, your actions in the future will not affect you at all. This will be changed in some universes though. If you are the third/last tree universe, if some one comes from the future and changes something before you, and then you go and change something before their time using time travel in will in turn affect that person causing your universe to follow another path and one that doesn’t include what the person changed, so their actions are nulled. Say there are two scientists. Bob, who lives in the 24th century, and Steve who lives in the 30th century. Steve wants time travel to be invented earlier so he goes to the 23rd century and plants the seeds to the unlocking of time travel. So bob in order to try out his new time machine he goes to the 29th century and kills Steve’s grandfather. Then Steve is never born, ergo, Steve never goes back in time, and never plants the seeds. Basically it creates a grandfather paradox…Again… This is all in the third tree universe. Another way to “time travel”: or to get the affects of it In the second universe there is another way to get the affects of time travel with out having to go back in time. You just need to make a dimensional portal. If you can find the universe where the thing you wanted accomplished is the only thing that is different, you can go to that universe. And thus you accomplish what could be done with time travel with out having to go back in time. It is basically the same boat as the static universe in this sense. Ok back to the other universes. As I think about it in all of the universes I’ve proposed, unless there is a second time traveler affecting the future will not affect you. Types Of Universes: Just to make this more clear Static- Every thing that has happened will always happened and it may appear to be able to change but it really is impossible. Continuing – Well the time line is always changing, that is with time travel in the picture and there are multiple copies of everything. String- is a type of Static universe in which everything is fixed and it is impossible to change anything. Tree – Well, these universes deal with the idea that in every point of time where something happens there is an infinite number of possibilities. 1) Infinate number of universes for every possible outcome. 2) Infinate paths that could be taken but only one is chosen.
  19. I finally got all my ideas down on pape....wait....Um on Microsoft word So if you really really want to know what I think about time travel and you want to read 3 1/2 pages of words, go ahead. HERE BE WHAT I WASTE ME TIME ON! Kudos to you if you understand it completely... ~Popup2~
  20. I love Window of Opportunity. "Next time I won't be so forgiving!" "What? This is the first time." "If we don't find a way out of this I'm going to loose it.....loose it...it means go crazy....bonsai... no longer in the possession of the fact that he's three fries short of a happy meal. WACKO!!!" I'm writing my theories about time travel and its turning out to be quite long, 3 pages already and I'm not finished. If you want me to post I will if you want me to but I'm taking a break and I'd like to post this and go to sleep.... ~Popup2~
  21. Hmm, well pre lunch classes were pretty normal nothing stranger than usual happened. But then in Public Speaking we had a fun class. We got 6 sentences that in no way went together and we had to come up with a dialouge to fit them all together. These sentences included stuff like "Good Doggie, Thats a Good doggie doggie" "Surprise!" "No one will find me in here" and most memorably "I thought you were going to call the plumber". Man I can't wait to see what the other group came up with. I heard many giggles and laughs coming from the other side of the room. Then after school we had auditions for the High School play (Every one has to be in it but this is to decide what part you play) and its a play about a British comedy where the main characters are Wooster and Jeeves. Interesting play I have to say. I think I'll post some of the script But I can't wait to see which part I got. One annoying thing is I'm writing a report on Islam, and I look on the internet site for my area, find the books I need, and I get ready to go to the library. I look at the time table thing I have and its closed >.< That was Saturday. Sunday, I get dropped off at the Library and as I watch my dad drive off, I look at the door and what do you know? Its closed. And yesterday, I had the Play Auditions so I was pretty late and too late for the library. And today/tomorrow however you like to think of it, I have something to do after school so I can't get to the library. So I have to go Weds. Luckily I happened to have a H.G. Wells history book that involved Islam and should last me until tomorrow. Oh one last thing, on my way back from play auditions, I picked up Rock Band 2 the CD. I've had GH3 for a while, and my mom found the drums on sale so she got them. But they just sat in the attic and did nothing. Until today ^^. The drums were pretty fun. I've played them before at a friends house and I was a complete cluts with them lol. I was doing expert for the guitar but I had to do begginer for the drums. But one thing I don't like, is I don't know a lot of the songs . Hmm well typing out the script is going to take a while so I don't think I'll type it. But it is full of British Humor (Which I love). But I really need to get to sleep >.< I need to find a better time to write than early in the morning. I'm thinking about using dilberts comics to spice this up but I'm too lazy to upload them >.<
  22. hmm I have to say, this is what my friend said when we discussing Rubik's Cubes: "Man. I can get a few sides, I once got 5 sides but I couldn't get the last one" I just busted out laughing. But keep at it. As Black Six it does become second nature. I don't even think of the algorithms any more, I just do them. If you ever get some good times you should post them (Good time equals anything less than 30 minutes) And I need to learn how to do my bro's professor's cube, if he ever lets me touch it
  23. I just got a bunch of Bionicles ^^ I got Nediki (To lazy to look up spelling), Pridak and a set of the McToran plus some extra McToran and all for 26 $. I am so happy right now ^^ they look pretty cool with my other stuff.
  24. I love rubik's Cubes. Me and my bro have tons. I think my bro's best time was something like 53 seconds. Mines 1 minute and 30 some seconds.... And alas. My christmas was legoless as well....And wow....I just got the pun for "Their taking the hobits to Isengard"....ahh...good movies.... But any way. I hope my parents get me some of the stars for My birthday....
