Because the langoliers got them?
Time travel is easy, it's just lame

That was the first Steven King movie I saw when I was a teenager. Messed me up.

I saw it on TV when I was 7 or 8. I had nightmares for months.

Even though a bit cringy, I really liked that twist on the time travel trope.

Of course not, don’t be ridiculous.

This comment makes me so happy, I do the dance of joy.

Your brain is a time machine. However, it cannot effect the reality that you physically reside in.
SparrowHawk@feddit.it 6 days ago
Time machine, but not a space machine
disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 6 days ago
And the bike is a space machine, but not a time machine. What we need is a spacetime machine.
MossyFeathers@pawb.social 6 days ago
You can travel through space too, but again, it won’t affect the world you physically reside in.

Langoliers?
Wogi@lemmy.world 5 days ago
is THAT what that was about?
I only ever watched the first half of the TV movie. Second half never really seemed to air, or it really failed to explain anything.
Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Yeah, they fly through some “portal” or whatever and end up in the previous day. Then langoliers show up to devour it. There’s some other madness going on, too. You know, typical Stephen King shit.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 days ago
you can easily return to the past
but a tree used to be there where you are and now you’ve impaled it
kameecoding@lemmy.world 6 days ago
Well, if we follow that logic, then where you end up is the emptiness of space, even if you go back exactly one year, people tend to forget that the Earth not only goes around the sun, but the whole system is moving, so Earth is not in the same place as it was a year ago, even if it is relative to the sun.
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 5 days ago
I think that brings up the question of how do we go about establishing an absolute position? If everything is moving, what isn’t?
Everything being relative is a hell of a thing.
samus12345@lemm.ee 5 days ago
Presumably all time travel devices, spells, etc. compensate for that. If someone figured out how to travel to the past, calculating where the planet was at the time should be easy by comparison.
blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 6 days ago
It is a plot point in the sci-fi series Perry Rhodan, where they push the whole solar system 15 minutes into the future (iirc) to hide it from the rest of the universe.
IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 days ago
So if aliens launch a nuke at the solar system, you would have died 15 minutes ago? 🤔
qarbone@lemmy.world 6 days ago
No, sounds like the solar system just got pushed out of phase with the rest of their universe.
mdurell@lemmy.world 6 days ago
NGL, this sounds pretty awesome.

Only time travel to the future is possible. For example I will time travel one hour into the future and it will take me one hour to get there

My Lemmy client says your comment is 1h old. Is it possible to learn this power?

You can travel to the past. You just need to take a plane to somewhere in a negative offset time zone.

I’ll travel several hours into the future and it only takes me one bottle of vodka.

Unless you’re traveling close to the speed of light!

It still takes you an hour, it just takes everyone else infinitely longer.

Slowing down the metabolism seems the mistake realistic thing we might be able to do to something like time traveling.
