    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 backdate posts on AP.

      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.

      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.

    Your brain is a time machine. However, it cannot effect the reality that you physically reside in.

      Time machine, but not a space machine

      source
      • disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        And the bike is a space machine, but not a time machine. What we need is a spacetime machine.

        You can travel through space too, but again, it won’t affect the world you physically reside in.

      We all have our time machines, don’t we. Those that take us back are memories. Those that carry us forward are dreams

    you can easily return to the past

    but a tree used to be there where you are and now you’ve impaled it

    source
    • kameecoding@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

      source
      • BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

    Langoliers?

    source
    • Wogi@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

      source
      • Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

  • blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      So if aliens launch a nuke at the solar system, you would have died 15 minutes ago? 🤔

      source
      • qarbone@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        No, sounds like the solar system just got pushed out of phase with the rest of their universe.
