Out on the shooting range you fire a pistol and the bullet travels at 500 miles an hour and then you take that pistol on a train ride & while the train is roaring down the tracks at 100 mph you fire a bullet out ahead of the train. That bullet is not traveling at 500 MPH, it is traveling at 600 mph. Outer space travel is the same. If you have a spaceship with an atomic propulsion system; each time you explode one of these you are propelled ahead that much faster. The increasing multiplying of the speed will get us to the stars much sooner than one might imagine. We have the tools now, no inventing required.

What do you say-?

I know. I am from the future........... or is from it the past?

All I know for sure is that time travel messes with your....... your,,,, uh...... OH, yeah! Your memory.

I would not want to travel very far into the future based on the direction this Country is heading. May not like what I see!

I will say two things:

One, if you shoot the bullet in the directions the train is travelling the bullet is actually going at 400 mph because it is in the opposite direction...? Gandalf is really confused about this. Unless you immediately hit something because then the speed should be double that of the starting speed of the bullet.... Yikes Gandalf needs to lie down a bit :rolleyes:

Two, your avatar make my nose itch :p

Riding in a Nuclear Missile loses some of the appeal one may otherwise have in interstellar travel. I would rather have an H G Wells type of experience myself.

We will never be able to travel through time.
With enough time, we may be able to, but Jesus is coming way before then, if indeed we ever could do it.
We are stuck in time where we are.
The best way to view our time limitations is to imagine standing in a corn field, and you can't see much distance in any direction.
Now imagine God in that cornfield. He raises above it, and sees everything.
What we consider the future, God may look at as the past, present and future all at once. We are awaiting the return of Jesus, but in Gods perception, it may have already happened.

Like 2001 A Space Odyssey...just ask the astronaut....

HAL can mess with your mind muhuhahaha ;)

The light of the stars visible in the sky has taken countless light years to reach the earth. What is observed in the sky today is not how it is now but how it was then. This could be considered a form of time travel.

It is an Einstein kind of question.

Fortunately, we know that many of Einstein's theories have been proven correct by scientific experimentation and observance of what happens to astronauts when they are spun around the earth at incredible speeds. Travelling through time actually happens to them.

It gets tricky when you realize that the acquired speed on the bullet appears to be different depending upon whether you are the shooter or whether you are the shooted.

What happened to the bullet fired from the train?

And don't forget the world is spinning at 1000mph...

And .... the earth is orbiting around the sun at 67,000 MPH. Since we're on the subject, I find interesting that Venus' day is longer than its year taking 243 days to make one day. If it went any slower it would have to speed up to stop. :p

The space shuttle and apollo spacecraft already went many times faster than that... In fact, the International Space Station is orbiting the earth at 17,000 mph as we speak.
