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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 22 hours ago

Isn't this the premise of The Langoliers?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago

I'd like to return to about 12 hours ago so I can sleep

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

We are all time travelers

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

You can backdate posts on AP.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The people are all gone, the Langoliers just haven't shown up yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Of course not, don't be ridiculous.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you can easily return to the past

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Even more specifically, if we are talking a temporal teleport, then this shouldn't be a surprise. Most mainstream fiction uses teleports for time travel, pop out of one time and into another without experiencing the time between. As opposed to the device Farnsworth made in The Late Philip J. Fry, where they actually just change speed through time instead of skipping through it. In the latter case, you shouldn't have to worry about this issue at all. But with a teleport, any teleportation device is simultaneously a temporal and spatial teleport, due to causality and the nature of spacetime. So any teleport would need spacetime coordinates, not just spatial or temporal coordinates.

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Time machine, but not a space machine

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Ok so we need

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

If used correctly, the bike can move you forward in time. It takes approximately 60 minutes to move an hour into the future. But you can't return so think twice before you go into a horrible age.

NGL, this sounds pretty awesome.

Give me just a couple of minutes in either direction, I'm golden.

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.

Imagine going back to the past and getting UNLIMITED RICE PUDDING! (it's worth it I promise 😉)
