  1. Time travel is something we all do -- and each person travels through time at a different rate. You can go forward in time but you will not be able to come back.

    I'm not sure of the exact Lorenz equation used to compute it, but if you want each of your seconds to count for 100 years of earth time, all you need to do is get on a spaceship and travel at some speed close to C (99.999999999%) and you will go to the year 9010.

    Good luck finding the energy source for your spaceship.

  3. I do believe that humanity may eventually evolve and spill over into silicon. There could be some hybrid humanoid at that time period. There could be internal implants to assist in curing any disease.

    As time goes on, these implants and assistive devices will make man more productive in an ever growing technological society.

    However, at some point, man/machine will merge with man providing the consciousness and awareness and machine providing the simulation / experience. Then man will live in his own created world and, theoretically, could become something of a god.

    Don't mean to bust anyone's bubble on this topic (and I don't necessarily believe this myself) but according to the Mayan calendar the world is going to end on Dec. 23, 2012

  6. Well that's nice for the Mayan's and all but I believe that the end of the world is actually going to be Valentines Day 2016..... (extra points if anyone can tell me who made that prediction....2 extra points if you don't cheat to find out)...;-)
