And after all that irrelevant typiing you still seem completely incapable of using your imagination to think of something that might be impossible.
There's no need to pursue your erroneous premise of impossibility.

Nothing is impossible, although ignorance of conditions and elements that comprise a condition, abounds.
Learn and understand some science b4 you assert nothing is impossible. :evil:

Since this is an advice column for you, learn to not assert assumptions based on your ignorance concerning another's knowlege, Einstein.

Wot? What has that got to do with you asserting that EVERYTHING\ANYTHING is possible? Please, do provide YOUR knowledge that EVERYTHING\ANYTHING is possible - that is not implied by your Einstein quote. Idiot.

Oh, have a little giggle for yourself - fantastic concept of an emoti to have on a "philosophy" forum.

Are you drunk or merely dim?

Learn and understand what it is you yourself write before inspecting elevators, you little advisor you.

And now, for that giggle you requested.

The grandfather paradox can be solved by the creation of an alternative reality when the grandfather is killed. However another solution is simply that one cannot go back to the past to kill the grandfather in the first place.
Yes, you cannot go back.
But we are all travellers in time. We are all going forwards in time, and if you really want you can go much faster in time if you simply go very very fast.
The closer you get to the speed of light the faster your subjective time. This means if you travel near the speed of light then return to earth you will be in the future.
One can also leap time - s_leep. - when we sleep sometimes when we wake fills like a minute or two (hours later).

"Stasis" - is a plausible concept I think one day - to keep the body from ageing in a sleep like state to travel vast distances in space and time.
Possibly. But even in stasis, you will still be travelling forwards in time. This is a much talked about phenomenon in Sci-fi - but like FTL travel it is highly likely that it will never be achieved. Human biochemistry is massively complex. What might be more likley to succeed is storing the inforamation genetic and cerebral of the moment. A sort of brain download, and then in the far future rebuild the body using the DNA as a blueprint and then upload the "mind" into the new body.
Whether or not people could be convinced to do this is anothe matter.

If one could travel faster than the speed of light, with the right equipment such as a huge radio receiver dish - one could plausibly (under those conditions) receive TV transmissions of Earth from eras such as the 60s etc. Yes, I believe that is nonsense in reality.
Yes, accoding to Einstein, (and I do not think this part of his theory of Relativity has been challenged) when you reach the speed of light you mass becomes infinite, and so would require an infinite power to ge to that speed.

But ya, no past time travel, unless the Panetheistic God unraveled causality to a point in time. Or simulated what had been recorded (not time travel).

The laugh is, you with limited knowledge, and supreme assumptions, have no knowledge of the conditions required for the, not even.

It's the unlicensed inspectors who send folks to the wrong floor, or quickly to the basement.

Your future you is transmitting the message to the world for you to wake up, you dummy.
When you meet that future you ... singularity.

Can’t you hear?

Just because the word "woke," has been bastardized by idiots, does not negate the principle.

Why don't you just fuck off and take a walk in the surface of the sun, since nothing is impossible. Let's see you do it!!
Until then jog on!

That's right, I forgot. You're a coward who insults as a last resort.

Your content of your ignorance has already been addressed.

That sounds like a hot foot.

Are there scientific plans afoot to block the sun?

You know, to combat global warming.

Maybe those plans are coming from the future.

btw: closer to home, not knowing how and having no formula, could you mine, fashion, and machine a car from scratch, or would that be impossible for you?

Don’t forget, this is a philosophy forum, and just to illustrate a magnitude of Dickness, I won’t call you Einstein again because after all, credulity only stretches so far.

Nobody outlasts everyone let alone the last one, son. Drunks have been known to call any particular insight a moment of clarity, which is a moment notable for it’s transience and worth as compared to a cup or two of hot chocolate after shoveling snow.

This simple sentence tidily disposes of any bleating (past present or future,) that demands proof other than rationality and logic, that passes for discussion.

Or, any bleating that insists on asserting what's impossible to current human knowledge.


As the sheep said to da Vinci, "Oh yeah? I'd like to see you fly, man!"

Stick to the thread, dickhead. I am a poet, and ya, I know it.

You quoted Einstein (cbf verifying) to support that as you stated: NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.
Your Einstein quote:- "..learn to not assert assumptions based on your ignorance concerning another's knowledge, Einstein."

You claimed it, you stated it. You used a quote from Einstein to attempt to support yourself...so, please do explain according to that quote where we are ignorant concerning your knowledge, where you assert that nothing is impossible?

It's probably too late for you.

Don't be sad. It's the natural way of things, to keep your noggin from exploding.

However, a philosophical truth has emerged from the thread, and silent consultation with Age's frequency to the future indicates the proper form of expression, namely,

It’s funny, isn't it, how folks couch what they think is impossible within elements they know can’t make what they think is impossible, possible.

If ANY one just wants to KNOW how to, what is Wrongly called, "time travel", then just let me know. I am, after all, here with 'you' NOW, ready to divulge and REVEAL what is YET to be learned and understood.
Consider the fragmenting of human identity, especially these days with attention being pulled here and there by the lies being told. Oh, the lies those politicians and gubberment folks tell.

But, back to CAPS. A fragmented identity that has been growing in consciousness is one’s identity as words. In other words, no matter who you think you are, in certain situations you are only words. This is one of those situations.

We can surmise that in the future, awareness of oneself as words will expand like a food-junkie’s wasteline in February. What’s insignificant now will become significant and informally regulated in the future, just as certain words spoken in the past have become so significant now as to now alter lives (Joe Rogan).

Thus, the significance of CAPS will change in the future, as the fragments of identity shrink and expand. In the future, CAPS just might be the word no one dare utter with tongue or fingertips. Future inappropriate CAPS will be the social ammo that it now is not, but is trying to become, just like the word that no one dare utter is now on par with nuclear-handling.

Your usage of CAPS is your reaction to transmissions from the future. With total and complete knowledge of conditions, and with capacity altered to withstand the full energy frequency of total comprehension, not to mention apprehension, you could easily explain the future in detail, even the climate.

Furthermore, because of your wisdom you very well can explain the future in detail, but refrain to do so in order to save the planet, and so occupy attention in hopes of leading folks away from ennui.

Not surprising for a Time Lord, which of course is a possibility subject to probability.
