Brilliant! I've just inhaled half a cup of coffee laughing at that!
and I found the likes for it educational.

Guy at work proposed an idea that would save time and fuel...and it' so simple he's wondering why no one has thought of it.:tongue:
UK to Australia...roughly 24 hours.
UK one side of the planet, Australia the other side.
Earth rotates once every 24 hours.

So, simple innit. Take off, head just out the atmosphere ....and wait for Australia to come to you, which will take only 12 hours.
Time taken, half the current time. Fuel used, very little.

It's a win win situation...but no doubt someone will poo poo it.:headshake:

Might take longer if you get the timing wrong.

Space is only a little over two hours driving time away, anyway.

Dirk Gently series 1 explains time travel best.





Sadly that article reveals itself that is a hoax at the end. I was a true believer for about four paragraphs :sad:

The Express must try harder.
And the female factory worker, leaving work. Massachusetts 1938?

Think of time as a bit of string.
When first viewed, it has a beginning and an end. Now connect those ends, creating a continuous loop.
Then take that loop, making a ball in your hand of it. Where the string touches another piece, you have a connection made. If that was time, where each connection is made, you would be able to travel from one period in time, to another.

Three word soundbite
Andrew Carlssin hit the headlines back in March 2003, as he made a stock investment of $800, only to make $350 million just two weeks later. Many people believed he was receiving inside information, and he was charged for the crime.

However, he claimed he was a time traveller from the year 2256. After skipping bail, he vanished without a trace and was never seen again.

That would be great if it were true.

Think of time as being part of a continuum with space.

...Time and space as parts of the same thing.

Now sit down for a bit.
