The Official Thread of Relationships
Darkness Ascendant replied to Curious Anamaximder's topic in General Discussion
Yep, do exactly that! Tell him how you feel. Oh, and I'm not sure if you should call Turbinator Turb. It's bears an uncanny resemblance to another word I know. As for time travel....*coughs* *wrings his hands*....I think you came to the right place. Realistically, lets put it this way. Time travel means moving through two points in time. Alot of theories have been made to see if it is indeed possible, however most scientists believe it is either impossible, or doing so would be fatal to humans. Think of a temporal rupture, or a historical splinch XD Well. Alot of people think that time is constant, but then Einstein came along and proved us wrong, showing that time is an illusion and that it is in fact, relative, it varies for every observer depending on how fast you are travelling through space. To Einstein, Time is the "fourth dimension" the first three being in space,such as width, length, height. But time brings a new dimension, "direction", which happens to conveniently only go forward. Einstien's theory of specia relativity states that time speeds up or slows down relative to how fast you are moving to something else.Approaching the speed of light, a person inside a spaceship would age much slower than his twin at home. His theory of general relativity states that gravity can bend time. Picture a four-dimensional fabric called space-time. When anything that has mass sits on that piece of fabric, it causes a dimple or a bending of space-time. The bending of space-time causes objects to move on a curved path and that curvature of space is what we know as gravity. Both of these theories have been proven with GPS satellite technology that has very accurate timepieces on board. The effects of gravity, as well as the satellites' increased speed above the Earth relative to observers on the ground, make the unadjusted clocks gain 38 microseconds a day. (Engineers make calibrations to account for the difference.) Using this sense, astronauts are time-travelers as they return to Earth slightly younger than their twin. Now, to the theories on how it may be done. First up is "Wormholes" General Relativity shows that it could allow travellers to go back in time, however it has been considered physically impossible. One way is to go faster than light, however that is said to be impossible. Another is to create wormholes between two points in space-time. These are entirely possible, but today's tech desn't allow us to create them. Wormholes can exist naturally, but they are unstable and collapse quickly, only suitable for small particles, however, we still need to observe these wormholes. Infinite cylinder Astronomer Frank Tipler proposed a mechanism (sometimes known as aTipler Cylinder) where one would take matter that is 10 times the sun's mass, then roll it into very long but very dense cylinder. After spinning this up a few billion revolutions per minute, a spaceship nearby — following a very precise spiral around this cylinder — could get itself on a "closed, time-like curve", according to the Anderson Institute. There are limitations with this method, however, including the fact that the cylinder needs to be infinitely long for this to work. Black holes Another possibility would be to move a ship rapidly around a black hole, or to artificially create that condition with a huge, rotating structure. This is what Stephen Hawkings supports. "Around and around they'd go, experiencing just half the time of everyone far away from the black hole. The ship and its crew would be traveling through time," physicist Stephen Hawking wrote in the Daily Mail in 2010. "Imagine they circled the black hole for five of their years. Ten years would pass elsewhere. When they got home, everyone on Earth would have aged five years more than they had." However, he added, the crew would need to travel around the speed of light for this to work. Another limitation is that if you used a machine, it may break down before you hit lightspeed. Cosmic strings Another theory for potential time travelers involves something called cosmic strings — narrow tubes of energy stretched across the entire length of the ever-expanding universe. These thin regions, left over from the early cosmos, are predicted to contain huge amounts of mass and therefore could warp the space-time around them. Cosmic strings are either infinite or they’re in loops, with no ends, scientists say. The approach of two such strings parallel to each other would bend space-time so vigorously and in such a particular configuration that might make time travel possible, in theory. Ok, finally we come to Time Machines It's generally understood that you would need a machine to go back in time.Time machine research often involves bending space-time so far that time lines turn back on themselves to form a loop, technically known as a "closed time-like curve". But to accomplish this, one would need a form of matter known as "negative energy density". But this form of matter has strange properties, including moving the opposite direction when pushed.Such matter could theoretically exist, but if it did, it might be present only in quantities too small for the construction of a time machine. However, time-travel research suggests time machines may be made without the exotic matter. The work begins with a doughnut-shaped hole enveloped within a sphere of normal matter. Inside this doughnut-shaped vacuum, space-time could get bent upon itself using focused gravitational fields to form a closed time-like curve. To go back in time, a traveler would race around inside the doughnut, going further back into the past with each lap. This theory has a number of obstacles, however. The gravitational fields required to make such a closed time-like curve would have to be very strong, and manipulating them would have to be very precise. All of these have their own problems, but the general ones include the Grandfather paradox, related to the butterfly effect. Also, humans may not be able to withstand time travel at all. Traveling nearly the speed of light would only take a centrifuge, but that would be lethal. Using gravity would also be deadly. To experience time dilation, one could stand on a neutron star, but the forces a person would experience would rip you apart first. That help? -

Da-aamn Son, he breakin them moves good. Haha, this is what we do at shool every day. We try and make the most uncomfortable and strange things to say, then say them at the wrong moment, *Principal walks by* Matt- Don't you just hate it when your torturing someone and they have to scream? *Principal freezes* Me- No way, that peeves you to? I know right! I mean, come on people, if your gonna get tortured at least have the diginity to stay silent! *Principal slowly turns his head to look at me* Matt- That's exactly what I mean, just because I'm flaying the skin off your back doesn't mean you have to wake up the whole neighbourhood *Principal slowly looks down at Matt* *Que Sunny, another friend* Sunny- What are we all talking about *chews gum noisily* *Principal takes the chance to inconspicuously leave* -

Food. Food. Food. And spreads
Darkness Ascendant replied to Darkness Ascendant's topic in General Discussion
"Seen the Fizzing Whizbees, Harry?" said Ron, grabbing him and leading him over to their barrel. "And the Jelly Slugs? And the Acid Pops? Fred gave me one of those when I was seven -- it burnt a hole right through my tongue. I remember Mum walloping him with her broomstick." Ron stared broodingly into the Acid Pop box. "Reckon Fred'd take a bite of Cockroach Cluster if I told him they were peanuts?" Ron thought for amount. "Na, they probably already know what they look like, oh how about these Spickles? I could slip them into their lunch or something. I wonder how much they are" Right then, a staff-member stepped up beside them, "Ah you want some Spickles? A kilo would be 2 Sickles". Harry nearly turned around in surprise, but steeled himself, for surely the staff member would recognise who he was. -
Since noone's answered @Zathoth's description. I will post a new one. Also care to share the answer? 2 siblings go back in time to save a park.

Divorced, beheaded and died Divorced, beheaded, survived I'm Henry the Eigth, I had six sorry wives Some might say I ruined their lives Catherine of Aragon was one She failed to give me a son I had to ask her for a divorce That broke her poor heart, of course Young Anne Boleyn, she was two Had a daughter, the best she could do I said she flirted with some other man And off for the chop went dear Anne Lovely Jane Seymour was three The love of a lifetime for me She gave me a son, little Prince Ed Then poor old Jane went and dropped dead Divorced, beheaded and died Divorced, beheaded, survived I'm Henry the Eigth, I had six sorry wives Some might say I ruined their lives Anne of Cleves came at four I fell for the portrait I saw Then laid eyes on her face and cried 'She's a horse! I must have another divorce! ' Catherine Howard was five A child of nineteen, so alive She flirted with others, no way to behave The axe sent young Cath to her grave Catherine Parr she was last By then all my best days were past I lay on my deathbed, aged just fifty-five Lucky Catherine the last stayed alive (I mean, how unfair! ) Divorced, beheaded and died Divorced, beheaded, survived I'm Henry the Eigth, I had six sorry wives You could say I ruined their lives. And @Spoolofwhool I think ur question may have been a tad bit too hard -
I'm from somewhere near Australia. XD Anyway, what do u guys mean "it learned your name". I only use my laptop for the Shard (mostly). And I've seen Mestiv's sig loads of times. But it still calls me "fellow sharder"
