So, uh.. about them Clones

Link. Since when did science care about religion.

On time machines; It would be impossible to build a time machine to go back in to time to change/fix something. If you changed time, you wouldn't have the need to build a time machine, thus you couldnt go back to fix anything.


Everytime you lose your train of thought, that was you inventing a time machine, fixing the problem and no longer needing a time machine.

You just described the space time continuum here.

You can't go back to change what already happened, because then it will lead to events causing you to never had built that time machine in the first place.

But what if u changed something
but left ur self a blueprint to still build the time machine
and told ur past(or is it present at that point) self why u went back
so that he makes sure to build the time machine :nerd:
 
Well time is relative to speed and gravitational pull. In theory you can suspend yourself in time, given the correct extreme conditions, to return later in the future which technically is traveling

Infinite time loop paradox
 
That would stick you in a loop right?

Would your time machine be invented if you didn't go back and give yourself the plans?

Cryogenic freezing is real, and made available. Its several thousands for the procedure, and then some more to maintain.

We don't currently have the technology to survive the unfreezing process though. 

The idea is that you're frozen now, then when the technology for unfreezing is available you'll be unfrozen. Ex. Dude with cancer
 
Side Bar:

I think wealthy people altering their genes to be smarter. Taller. More attractive, etc. is just as worrisome

Science is scary

I'll keep this short....

Time traveling is not going to happen you crackheads. Time is a man made concept/idea.







Who's got the plug tho?

Some could argue that time IS God. It is absolute, omnipresent, flawless, destroys all, heals all, imortal, infinite.

And time is really just a concept......

Thanks for posting this. this is what I was talking about.

The World’s First Genetically Modified Babies Will Graduate High School This Year

View media item 1221560Remember the sci-fi thriller GATTACA? For those who never saw the film and/or eschewed all pop culture in the late 90’s for some reason, it was a popular movie that came out in 1997 about genetically modified human beings. Now some literally genetically modified human babies born that same year are entering their senior year of high school.

The first successful transfer of genetic material for this purpose was published in a U.S. medical journal in 1997 and then later cited in a Human Reproduction publication in 2001. Scientists injected 30 embryos in all with a third person’s genetic material. The children who have been produced by this method actually have extra snippets of mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA, from two mothers – meaning these babies technically have three parents.
It’s still unclear whether all 30 babies turned out healthy. The Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science (IRMS) at St Barnabas, participants of the experiment, finally began following up with at least 17 of the now teenagers earlier this year, according to the UK’s Independent. We’ve reached out to IRMS to get those follow up results but have not heard back yet.

While we don’t know the identity of these genetically modified teens, or even how they are doing health wise at this point, the ethics of creating designer humans is still very much a hot button issue. Modifying humans genetically to create some superior race of people or simply to chose one preferred visual trait over another has been debated among scientists, politicians and others ad nauseam. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration no longer even allows such genetic modification to embryos, citing them as a “biological product” and thus under its jurisdiction. They put the kibosh on this practice back in 2002. However, these original embryonic modifications were for parents who would potentially pass on severe genetic diseases to their children if it weren’t for scientific intervention.

These teens could potentially pass on their genetically modified material to the next generation. So even if no other humans are legally able to be created this way in the future, we’ve already introduced biologically modified genetic material into the population with the potential to affect large swaths of future generations to come via reproduction. We’ll be sure to update you, should IRMS release any information on the health of these teens.

Walt Disney is still cryo-stasis. real talk.

From what Ive read, most scientist agree that time isn't absolute. before the big bang, there was no time in this "universe". You need space to have time. And more than one "object"
