Is Time Travel For You?

But <a href="http://shopping.yahoo.com/shop?d=v&id=1800264968">Morbius</a>, why do you address me? I have not posted to this thread.

In any case, I do not subscribe to the "punctuated equilibrium" theory of evolution. PE is merely a crude stalking horse for Creationism. I am certain that evolution is continouous and thus Gen Y's little toe is (statistically) shorter than Gen X's, etc.

Surely we are continuously evolved from pond-scum.

Oh I forgot, no html.

And God said, "Let there be pond-scum", and there was pond-scum. God saw that pond-scum was good.....

Morbius, I noticed that you were not "rated" so I just rated you at 4 stars. Sorry, I could rate you higher because someone had previously rated me at 4 stars.

Sad to hear of your identity theft. Such a tacky crime.

Regarding time travel, I was priveledged to take a time-trip several years ago. There is an eccentric genius that I know who invented a time-travel machine. I don't know how it works but it required assuming a fetal position in an egg-shaped enclosure in his back yard. There were magnetics and herbalistics involved.

I opted to go forward in time for one year. He was not sure that he could bring me back if I went further. It was OK, I just wanted to see where the stock market would be. I saw that it was way down so I figured that when I got back I'd sell short and get rich.

But before I got back, I saw myself. I was broke so I figured that the the time-travel experience was bogus. Therefore, when I got back I did not sell short.

Sure enough, the stock market tanked and I went broke. The time travel worked, sort of.

A great experience and you broke even to boot!

Hey, the mind wandering was worth a fair trip and you missed the boat. What flits as you're falling asleep?

I have always been fascinated with the idea of time travel. But then, I guess it is available to us, in a way. They can definitely read history, & our imagination is the portal to the future.

I had a similar thought when I was planning a cent​ral asia trip. The Silk Road region especially gives that feeling of moving through time, with ancient cities, traditions, and landscapes that haven’t changed much for centuries. While searching for options, I found a central asia trip and decided to go for it instead of just reading about it. For me, it turned out to be a really good experience. The route felt like a journey through history, everything was well organized, and I could actually enjoy the places instead of worrying about logistics. It suited exactly what I was looking for something meaningful, not just another trip.
