Master Bates Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 been waiting years for thhis Americans are still waiting.
Nexstar Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 Americans are still waiting. Their one happened last month.
Hatch Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 Americans are still waiting. How fast do you need to travel for time to never change in a day.
Ponty Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 How fast do you need to travel for time to never change in a day. Depends where you are. On the equator, a little over 900mph. As you get nearer the poles you can go slower.
St Landrew Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 Americans are still waiting. Come on now, the line is America is waiting... If you're going to quote Brian Eno & David Byrne, do it accurately MB.
hamster Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 Depends where you are. On the equator, a little over 900mph. As you get nearer the poles you can go slower. I have often wondered, if you were to run around the North or South pole, just like in that crazy drinking game involving a broom-handle, would you in actual fact be travelling through time? Or would the time remain exactly where the big and little hand tell you it is? Serious answers only please.

hamster Posted 7 August, 2009 Posted 7 August, 2009 Who? No stupid, that was Roger Daltrey, Pete Townsend, Keth Moon and John Entwhistle. Oh and some other bloke after Keith's unfortunate accident.
tpbury Posted 25 August, 2009 Author Posted 25 August, 2009 Who? St Landrew is being rather arch in his esoteric musical tastes. However, I recognise the song he is referring to I think and it is from "My life in the Bush of Ghosts" by Brian Eno (Roxy Music, ambient music, produced U2, wrote the log on theme for Windows) and David Byrne, who was Talking Heads' lead singer. I wouldn't bother replying if this wasn't one of my favourite ever albums - it was from about 1983 and was years ahead of its time. I think the Chemical Brothers borrowed from it extensively, it has that kind of sound as well as using sampling effectively (can't have been many records around at the time doing that!). Just off to stroke my chin....

No, the poles use GMT so you would be in the same time zone as London (except if London were in BST).

dubai_phil Posted 25 August, 2009 Posted 25 August, 2009 No, the poles use GMT so you would be in the same time zone as London (except if London were in BST). Strange, I was certain Warsaw is on CET
Baj Posted 25 August, 2009 Posted 25 August, 2009 Strange, I was certain Warsaw is on CET No, you're thinking of Walsall and that's GMT too
MongoNeil Posted 25 August, 2009 Posted 25 August, 2009 How fast do you need to travel for time to never change in a day. There are some villages in the north where time hasn't moved for decades...
keithd Posted 25 August, 2009 Posted 25 August, 2009 Has it happened yet? Will it be shown again on iplayer?
ChrisPY Posted 25 August, 2009 Posted 25 August, 2009 There are some villages in the north where time hasn't moved for decades... Stoke-on-Trent is actually classed as a city.
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 25 August, 2009 Posted 25 August, 2009 There are some villages in the north where time hasn't moved for decades... I know a place near here that's a bit like that. (Steps back to avoid all the p!55 taking!)
tpbury Posted 25 August, 2009 Author Posted 25 August, 2009 I know a place near here that's a bit like that. (Steps back to avoid all the p!55 taking!) Chandler's Ford?
Marsdinho Posted 26 August, 2009 Posted 26 August, 2009 The only way to make time stop is to go exactly the speed of light, which would require infinite energy if you still contain mass.
Baj Posted 26 August, 2009 Posted 26 August, 2009 The only way to make time stop is to go exactly the speed of light, which would require infinite energy if you still contain mass. This wont make time stop at all, it'll just suspend your perception of time until you drop below light speed, time will continue at its relative pace around you.
DS Posted 26 August, 2009 Posted 26 August, 2009 This wont make time stop at all, it'll just suspend your perception of time until you drop below light speed, time will continue at its relative pace around you. What if everything in the universe travelled at the speed of light? Would that stop time as there'd be no time happening around you? Reading the above sentence again makes my brain hurt. I suspect I've written something which makes absolutely no sense (it wouldn't be the first time).
Thedelldays Posted 26 August, 2009 Posted 26 August, 2009 i know how you trvel through time.. just fly around the sun and hey presto...I this to be true as it happened on Star Trek 4
Baj Posted 26 August, 2009 Posted 26 August, 2009 i know how you trvel through time.. just fly around the sun and hey presto...I this to be true as it happened on Star Trek 4 Or around the earth... Superman 3!
Marsdinho Posted 27 August, 2009 Posted 27 August, 2009 This wont make time stop at all, it'll just suspend your perception of time until you drop below light speed, time will continue at its relative pace around you. But that's the point isnt it, time (as far as you were concerned) would have appeared to have "stopped"
