has anyone ever played Command & Conquer: Red Alert? The Tesla Coil was the best part of the game. You put it around your soviet base and every now and then some allied soldier walks by and gets fried.

what if its true though? thats really creepy my friends. i mean death ray? that article made it sound more powerful than thermonuclear bombs!!! dudes, we're dealing with something of an incomprehensible magnitude where the whole earth, once harnassed, could BE the weapon. imagine gather up the earths engergy up in one lighting bolt...but you could control where the bolt landed OBLITERATING where you wanted it to go in a crater 10,000 feet deep!!

a lot of accumulated cultural knowledge is questionable, naturally, due to the way memes work. but you won't find big foot/dracula in encyclopedias, which are the most credible sources available probably, because no credible person found anything objective to add to it. I'm sure legends pass by word of mouth and become more and more entertaining and extreme, or an individual might mock the system and pass on deliberately false but super quirky/entertaining memes about themselves for fun. Aphex twin would do something like that :). but just look at his patents, those are proof enough.

it's a big conspiracy. There are arguments that challenge the validity, and unfortunetely most of the supposed military witnesses are no longer alive, or deny the project.

but i mean if someone in the future DID come up with a way to do it they already have know what im saying? although we presently arn't in the time of their findings the future is...and they've already done it. so when we get to that point and and travel through time ... our present time already knows it. or doesn't know it cause the people traveling through time look as human as us.

im trying to think of something that might have already occured through the use of time travel. and all i can think of are the stone henge and crop circles. everyone thinks they're made by aliens but what if they're made by time travelers? you don't know that. when we get into the future we'll know cause then when we get there someone will do it and we'll say "remember those crop circles? now we know who did them? that guy on tv just showed us"

The Philadelphia Experiment was where the US government had a group of Navy officers and sailors aboard a US vessel eat a large amount of white cream cheese. It transported them to another dimension and tasted ever so nice.

hmm... I agree that time travel isnt ethical... as you said amon, its messing with something that isnt ours to control. People will argue that time travel can be used to prevent or lessen the effects of global catastrophes, for example, going back to the 1920s and assasinating hitler before he could come to power. Unfortunately, removing hitler will change the past, present, and future in untold and possibly even MORE catostrophic ways, as would changing anything about our past. At the very least, someone else from some other nation would probably eventually try to do the same thing hitler tried... to take over the world. The best way to change our past is to learn from it and direct that knowledge to the future, so that history does not repeat itself.

but don't you see? if someone was smart enough to have gone back to stop hitler...they would have done it which means hitler wouldn't have happened right? understand? we're living now and if someone from the future (us in the future) came back to stop something it would have been stopped now in our time. it only makes sense. time is on going and donesn't end.
if i went back yesterday to visit myself, yesterday i would have visited myself meaning today i have known about it. can you understand that?

our past cannot be changed cause if it has already been changed our time now is unaffected cause the changed time is equal to that of unchanged time meaning what was changed -- the outcome -- turns up to be normal for our time. nothing can be changed except the future.

time-travel DOES exist. and it's just as well, because if scientists from the future hadn't gone back and wiped King Aragnarok III out in 1834, we'd all be wearing lilac and speaking in Australian accents.

in case you're still not getting it take this example:
Okay...say in 1950 the Hoover dam explodes and millions die (to those europeans thats a huge famous dam in america..in case you didn't know). big disaster. we cannot, in present time, expect or hope to go back and change it.
but say we did. say we stopped it.
now pretend the future hasn't happened.
its 1950.
the exact same time the dam exploded in the other dimention HASN'T happened. why? cause we stopped it.
unless we knew for certain it was stopped because of time travellers we'd have no thought or feeling toward the effort to stop the dam from exploding because NOTHING'S happening right? you cant assume somethings wrong unless it happens.

what if the person who shot JFK was from the future?
we CANNOT go back and change it...why? cause if we DID JFK would NOT have died! making sense now?
