Frank and Ernest by Thaves for November 28, 2023

At least you could have sent the instructions back.

There is a time machine, only works one way but it’s a telescope

My time machine works. It goes forward a second at a time.

That is a time pair-of-dorks!

That’s a really tachyon-looking piece of equipment. Not the “Cadillac” of tesseracts.

But would you really? Of all the places you could go, that’s where you’d choose?

https://youtu.Be/IP_wzBeBlAU?si=pboZJf0q1HYDD_XRThe pretenders said it pretty well.

You’ve got to get it working first you idiot.

it’s about time you figured that out

They need a flux capacitor.

With you two, I’d think you’d come back from the future to prevent you from making it work.

you guys need a plunger… all good time machines have a plunger stuck on the side to get it going….!

I seem to remember reading a scifi story with a similar theme years ago.

Go back and watch yourselves begin the build. You’ll see the mistakes from an objective viewpoint.

That’s actually one of the most compelling arguments that time travel is impossible. If we were ever going to have time machines, we’d have had them for thousands of years already.

This assumes that there is a single timeline

Just maybe it did work and after what you did in the future the future you came back to sabotage your machine. A little preventative time travel. Cheers

A related bit from “The Big Bang Theory” (at about 3:29):

Wish I had the time to build one of those…

If there will ever be a time machine allowing backward travel, surely someone would have come back to the time travelers’ party hosted by Stephen Hawking in 2009. Nobody came.

I was thinking… if Benjamin Franklin had a flux capactor AND was running at 88 mph when the lightning struck the key, he could be anytime.

For me sleep is a time machine to breakfast.

Well, anybody who knows anything about science fiction knows if you travel in time and meet yourself, it causes a serious disruption in the space time continuum.

If time machines actually worked, they’d take you back to a point in space that the Earth had yet to arrive at. Bad news for anyone who might be fond of oxygen.

My machine i start at 10:30pm, next thing i know I turn head to nightstand and the clock says 7:30am !

Not necessarily…

I love Frank and Ernest, and have for some time (I’m 69 going on 70).Long may F&E wave!

Time travel paradoxes. You CAN TRAVEL FORWARD and you CAN LOOK BACKWARD, but you CAN’T TRAVEL BACKWARD and you CAN’T LOOK FORWARD.

I seem to go forward one instant at a time (more analog).
