Dr. Clayton Forrester's Science Roundup

Re: Dr. Clayton Forrester's Science Roundup

maybe it's bad for future generations. I doubt it'll have any effect on us currently.

Sucks to be those future people!

Well those future generations are going to invent the time travel that lets me go back in time and ask Stephany Richardson to the 1980 junior prom, so there's a lot riding on this for me personally.

So are you going to go back in time as your current old self to ask out a minor? Or are you going to go back in time to coach your younger self up so that he would have the shot at Stephany that you never had? Either way is kinda problematic for you. One could get you in jail, and the other way could blink your current self out of existence.

Is Dr. Mrs. OK with being the time travelers wife?

I was thinking the latter. :)

I agree there may be some butterfly effect issues, however.

He wouldn't blink himself out of existence, rather his kids would be gone and so would this cascading effect of a great many other children of roughly that same age only to be replaced by other children created by different parental couplings. It would be a long list of changes because now his current wife might have married another man, that man's current wife might marry yet a different man, or stayed single and joined a convent - you just never know. That effect would just go on and on and on, much like Kevin Smith giving a radio interview (which I find fascinating, FYI). That would be the true Butterfly Effect.

Yeah, but what about the problem we would have with someone going back into the past to change their own personal past that would fundamentally change them? wouldn't that cause some sort of a time loop?
 
Re: Dr. Clayton Forrester's Science Roundup

Which begs the question.. If you could go back in time and change one event in your lifetime what would it be?

I'm 60, so I believe the answer would be obvious. 11/22/63

4/10/03.

I've got my priorities right.
 
Re: Dr. Clayton Forrester's Science Roundup

What about tennis? Anyone else remember Renee Richards?

Thought not... ;)

Some of us are old enough to remember, and remember the outrage from some of the women players of the time. Fortunately (or unfortunately) Richards was not a good enough player for it to really matter at the time. The point about weight events in track and field is well made though. It wouldn't take a very high level male shot put competitor to completely outclass the current female stars in that sport.
