No, I'm not talking about palm trees :o] I mean, the date stamp for a post such as this one is wrong - it says 6th July, which is 2 days off. It's the 8th today, or I'm living in the wrong year..... :] FishNose

Hey George, Its the 6th where I am, least that's what my pc says.

Someone's playing with the timeline again. I just hope I'm still me when they're done.

quixote and martian_manhunter: I hear that according to chaos theory, observing something changes the result. So if you were to get information from the future it probably wouldn't happen that way again. (but it's worth a try. BTW FishNose,got the California Lottery numbers?)

Of course, you know, all of this is relative.

There was a young lady named Bright, Who travelled much faster than light. She journied one day, in a relative way and ended up the previous night.

(he-he.) Is it time for the quote from Buckaroo-Bonzai, again? "No matter where you go - there you are." Could apply to "time displacement" I guess.

"No matter when you go -- then you are." Nah. Larry Niven has a much better handle on the whole concept in his reknowned essay, "The Theory and Practice of Time Travel."

Looks like I have some catching up to do. (Wonder if my library card's still good.)
Little_Dragon posted Sun, 07 July 2002 at 12:52 AM
If you're serious, the essay was published in his short story collection, All The Myriad Ways.
He's got some other good stuff in there, too, like "Man of Steel, Women of Kleenex" (Kryptonian reproduction) and "The Theory and Practice of Teleportation."

L.D.: Yeah, I haven't Read any Larry Niven in quite a while. Thanks. BTW get a chance to check out that "fog" yet?
