Posted here because this is the closest to a science section. Thought you might enjoy it Tim.

Will post more if more are listed.

I made a science section now. Good idea. Now about this video I found the comparison very useful, but that's the first time I've ever heard that if one went faster than the speed of light they would go backwards into time. I think that is still very theoretical at this point. As much as I would love to believe that to be the case I kind of think once time stops in a vehicle going the speed of light that's probably as good as it gets.

Well, you also need a DeLorean with a flux capacitor...

I got the gist that if you moved faster than light in the same direction as the rotation of the planet you would move forward in time and against the rotation would result in going backward.

Sounds like Superman the movie.

I thought of that too, but what he did was reverse the spin of the earth which actually should have shut off the gravity and shot everyone and everything on this planet into space.

If anything he should have just moved himself back in time and spared the rest of us.

Well you're right, but I guess it looked more impressive the other way.

That cracks me up. Shooting people into space. Can you imagine the look on Superman's face?
