    You guys need to help me build a time machine than you can give me your wishlist.

    Some scientist figured it out in principle, but he could only send photons (light) back.

    It involved four high power lasers used to create a square....they do something to the space/time in the square or something. They run it on the Science Channel every so often, and the dude's name escapes me now, but he's on all kinds of discovery programs, history channels universe, etc. so you would probably know him if you watch those channels.

    EDIT: I should also probably mention that he could only send stuff as far back as when he turned on the machine, and it didn't go forward, only backward.

    He also couldn't send matter. He said that the amounts of energy required to move an atom would likely annihilate the atom in the process or something like that.

    I've heard of that too. What we need to do is build a machine that can detect and receive these photons so that when the technology is perfected and we can send messages back (in the form of intermitent code like Morse Code or some form of binary) there will be someone waiting to receive them.

    Even if we did that, we would still have to finish everything so we could send the information back to us.

    Cool Re: EB 1 ready for download! (or just someone with his keyboard faster then time?)

    Even so. If this is legit, then why hasn't any sort of message come back from the future by now? Yah know, some strange piece of paper or Email or whatever that wasn't there before. So how can we know that this will really develop that far?

    It hasn't been built yet. It's simply a theory, based mostly on mathematics IIRC.

    The math works. I wish I could remember his name...he's well known, at least in america.

    Meh. Unless 1.0 actually comes out tonight or something I'll be merrily playing good ole 0.81v2 tonight as well once I'm through drooling over all those new units listed on the site, which are - as usual - seven different kinds of awesome.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    This is true. I have an awesome Sabyn campaign going on right now. It's good times for sure.

    Me rambling.

    I seriously need to go play a game or something. I suspect they plan on torturing us for a few more days.
