I found this fascinating web site about physics. If you can get past the contentious attitudes towards some of the top minds in physics today, his arguments actually do (to my untrained mind) make a lot of sense. I've never believed that time travel above the quantum level was possible, but apparently some of the big wigs think it is allowed by GR. If motion in spacetime is impossible, which some of them readily agree to, why do they insist that time travel might be possible? Makin' it sound good for funding, perhaps?
The idea that there is no such thing as time, only an everchanging NOW, seems to logically hold water...
Thoughts?

good site. its nice to see a spirited debate about real scientific theories for a change. actually its what makes SFN such an excellent site. i enjoy seeing discussions about the nature of reality based on actual data and real scientific ideas as opposed to the pseudoscience crap that is so common.

LOL! I perused that site for a while, and am still not sure what to make of it. I will provide a decent opinion when I have more time to check the information.
I am afraid I'm not clever enough to come up with a good signature, eh? |

For science on the Internet, I trust only .gov and .edu sites. The web is full of bleep science, and, unless one is scientifically knowledgeable, one must be very careful not to be inundated with yucky *stuff*.
However, this applies only to me. I, myself, do not like scrubbing down after a torrent of pseudoscientific manure...

Cool site. I just casually perused but I think that I know what the author is referring to. One of my pet peeves. Mistaking a mathematical model for physical reality.
Greg.
