Possible Time-Traveler?

Post Reply New Topic

Cool Technology!

As for Greek Fire: It is, according to what I've read, composed of a petroleum substance called naphtha mixed with potassium nitrate and sulfur. That's a possible combination anyway. Based on the phonetic similarity of a name of a container of the Greek fire and the name of eggs yolks in Greek, I have supposed that the egg yolks may be what holds the K2NO3 and sulfur in the mixture. Anyway, aside from its possible composition, how it functions is this: regardless of its method of travel, when the ignited Greek fire hits a target, a usual thought would be to put the fire out with water (as it was mainly used at sea). Applying water to the mixture of petroleum and ionic compounds didn't help anything. In fact, due to the ionic compounds reaction with the oxygen in the water, the fire spread even worse when an attempt was made to extinguish it.

well, I agree, I give a fair amount of doubt about the possibility of time travel actually, I even think the odds against it seems to be of a fair amount, considering some things, at least for now it seems so, and even if it was possible, very likely it would be strictly limited to be at the atomic level, sending particles to the past. Well, at least I think so. But... we never know.


Actually, yes, technically speaking, everything that is used to measure and make calculations and predictions about anything, would be man-made constructs.


Well, there are different philosophical views about the nature or idea of time. The unexistence of time is quite interesting -link-, the idea that time is an illusion.

That's interesting, but I don't agree with it. There are too many combinations of things happening all at once in the universe. History might appear to be repeating itself, but it's only a similar story with several variations from what happened the last time. That's like staring at a clock and figuring that cince it's three occlock today and was three occlock twice yesterday, we must be stuck in a loop. It's just a futile human atempt to simplify and understand an infinite universe.

Time is no more a construct than space.

There is no space in my house ... XD

you can always mix the nitrate potassium with sugar
but I think you already knew that

I knew Callinicus very well, he always seemed rather odd and never gave me a direct answer as to where he was from. I figured it meant he was from Italy, and just didn't want to admit it, I wouldn't either if I were him.

If you see him, ask him where did he left my remote control batteries.

Have you looked behind your Van Gogh painting?

behind as in inside it?

*slaps on forehead* stupid Calisthenicus!

...I think notparakeet and the others will wake up tomorrow and not be very happy of the way the thread went...

No puedo dormir, pero no hay problema aqui. Estais loco though...

insane in the membrane!
or vato loco


BTW, there's a movie about if the germans won, based in japan, Jin-Roh.

Ah but what was once unwitnessable of eye is now seen through the progressions of our technology like microscopic organisms, unseen by the human eye.

Hmm...is time travelling paranormal

Well, from the Random House:

par·a·nor·mal adj.
of or pertaining to the claimed occurrence of an event or perception without scientific explanation, as psychokinesis, extrasensory perception, or other purportedly supernatural phenomena.
[1915–20; PARA-1 + NORMAL]

I don't think so. Not if it's via technology.

Time travelling is easy, i do it everyday.
But i`m just moving slowly forward in time so its not so interessting really
First, we must figure out what time is. Then, we might just be able to travel
all we want - but what is it, time? Is it real, or is it something we made, the
way we do, to put things into places that fit us/make it easier for us?
When did time start? So many q`s...what to do, what to do
