I cant believe its not PHP!

Sounds interesting. Unfortunately, what I picked up from it, it isnt actually going to send people back in time. Just show the conditions they believe caused "The Beginning". What a shame. -_- |

Not really. I don't think you'd like to go back to the beginning of the universe; conditions weren't very hospitable to life back then. It'd be very hot, very little air (in fact, none), and quite cramped. ![]() But actually, yes, the completion of the Large Hadron Collider has excited me. I was also unaware of the conjectured existence of Higgs boson until I read an article on the LHC. Particle accelerators are cool, but this one will be extreme--the sheer amount of data that it outputs per year will be mindboggling! Scientists are going to have lots to do. That is, if it doesn't explode the first time they fire it up.

Oh, I get it "Latnok" hungarian, I believe it means one who sees the future, makes sense. This sounds pretty cool, never heard of it before. So basically this thing is a simulator. Not as exciting as a time machine but but probably the closest we'll ever get in this lifetime. Ben is right about the conditions but if Ben is able to figure this out I'm sure physicists are as well. They probably won't put a human in this contraption the first time aroudn anyway. |

I like their tests on the site. I pass two of them every time! |

Well, now, don't be so sure. I saw a documentary on the Science Channel a few months ago about a theoretical physicist who came up with a way that may enable us to create time machines for subatomic particles. Although subatomic particles are extremely small, think about this: electrons power all computer processing, meaning sending electrons back in time could send text, images, sounds, video, etc. back in time as well. The idea is that light contains so much energy when concentrated and "purified" (i.e. one wavelength/color kept away from the other wavelengths) that arranging lasers correctly could warp space-time around them. They said a pseudo-cylinder made of a stack of square-arranged lasers slightly rotated at each layer could create a "space-time warp [distortion] within the confines of the cylinder". Shooting subatomic particles into this cylinder at the right angle and speed, we could make them come out at whatever time in the past we want. Of course, the particles could only exist when the distortion exists, so it couldn't go back to a time before the machine was built and turned on. But still: Imagine turning it on for the first time and getting a video message from yourself in the future... Sci-Fi is becoming Sci-Fact. -IMP
