Conflicting Author?

[Nagy Vilmos]

Whenever I am presented by the notion that travelling through time at anything other than 1 s/s is even remotely possible I offer the following - if at any time in the past or future of life on this, or any other, planet, a being should invent time travel then we would have known about it since before the earliest records. I think that was said by George VII.

That's definitely wrong, and is a case in point that you shouldn't believe anything you read on the internet.

[Kenneth Haugland]

I think we have invented modulus[^] planning algorithm. (That is also often mislabeled as a clock though)

I just recently bought a time machine, but having tried it once I don't think I'm going to buy it.

Perhaps it recursively provides an affirmation on the original quote too. :)

Thats so pre-modulus[^] planning

[Nagy Vilmos]

Well? You started it!

[JMK NI]

One sure fire way to entertain a forum of nerds is to bring up time travel :laugh:

[Kenneth Haugland]

THere must be a quote somewhere on the internet saying you started it. :-D

I read somewhere that it was first said by Napoleon Bonaparte around 1795. I believe the other two gentlemen stole the quote without giving credit to the original author.

Don't forget the theory of relativity:

• Einstein was Lincoln's grandfather;
• Churchill was Einstein's son, and Lincoln's mother;
• Hawking is his own grandfather;

;P

But Boney was just paraphrasing Aristotle's Πραγματεία περί Αστεία βίντεο Γάτα στο Διαδίκτυο, written in 426 BCE and published by the ancient Sumerians. ;P

The original quote WAS Winston Churchill, the bit about Lincoln is just Americans trying to claim it for themselves.

Ah, finally I can bend the Internet to my will :evil laugh:

It didn't sink; it just move one second into the future.
