<< &quot;I'm pissed. I lost a brand new Alpha Cooler and Coppermine to a parallel universe. I called my insurance company and they don't cover losses to rifts in the space-time continuum.&quot; >>

OMG, that is the funniest thing I've seen in a while. My wife is probably wondering why the hell I'm practically in tears from laughing so hard. :D

for me the article is just a bunch of bullsh1t :p
I don't personally believe that we can travel through time. I don't even believe Einstein's theory ;P

Doesn't Einstein's theory say that time travel is impossible, since your mass becomes zero, as you hit light speed?

Posted a couple times before already, but it is amusing.

your mass doesn't become zero when approaching light speed

your mass becomes infinitly large

sure time travel is possible. we are all moving forward in time all the time. of course you can speed up and slow down how fast you go, but you cant go backwards

Don't miss the &quot;Other News&quot; articles - so far they are all amusing, and each one has a bunch of &quot;Other News&quot; articles linked to it as well - you could kill a bunch of time at that site. Some of the other articles:

&quot;AMD to Release New Moron Processor&quot;
&quot;Oracle Says Ellison is Unfrozen Caveman CEO&quot; (complete with comparative pics)
&quot;Microsoft Alleges US Government is a Monopoly&quot;

and the ever popular:

&quot;Oops, I Did It Again...And My Breasts Exploded&quot;

Einstein's theory states that as you near the speed of light your mass becomes infinite, and therefore the energy required to support that mass becomes infinite. That is the reason you can't time travel.

Mass becomes infinite as you approach the speed of light eh?

Does that mean, the faster the fat man runs, the fatter he gets???

Heres a little theory for ya...

People say like &quot;When they invent time travel they can go back and kill Hitler before WWII starts...&quot; Ok, then if at a point in the future they created time travel, and they went back to kill Hitler, we wouldnt know about WWII and the Holocaust... get it??
Either 1) Time travel will never ever happen or 2) It does, and they will never go back and kill Hitler :)

Something to think about ehh??? :)

Not necessarily, because we don't really understand the way everything works yet :)

So maybe we actually have to GET THERE first, invent time travel, go back, THEN kill hitler, THEN we won't know about it :p


Don't listen to me, I don't know anytyhing :)

But that was a pretty damn funny article ;)

Actually Hitler did win the war, in 3542 Germany invented time travel at the Randhimer Institute but 3 humans of the Omarth faction traveled back to 1943, we didn't exactly know excatly when but we guessed on an approximate date. A one way time travel back to make sure that he lost the war. We helped the allies win with secret technology now we have been stuck here for 57 years with no way to get back. Were still here so I think that they now do not exist in the future therefore they don't have time travel to come back and prevent us from doing what we did.
