I refuse to recognize any parallel universe that I do not exist in.


Someone's going to hack the time stream and integrate a time virus!

He is a good guy, for whatever reason, this show isn't as good as he is, or as Art usually is. But "it aint over yet" and this guy is not Obama; he got his position due to his hard work and studies, not affirmative action/white guilt voters.

Oh.  Is that why I voted for Obama?  Apparently you know me better than I know myself.  Wow.  Impressive.

hehe, top-right corner nominee

I will steal all valuables from parallel universes I do not exist in.  I will be unprosecutable (sp) in those time streams!

Muahaha!

I hope this is the parallel universe and I'm actually in another, more Georgie for President friendly universe.

It hasn't? Don't we, Russia, etc make various time changes? Or those even more radical try to start "year zeros?"

I'm concerned that this could be bath-salt like to me! Thanks though (I'm calling support group for salt and pickled items.)

I still like the old fashioned crinkly cut fries from the grocery store...buy those, fry...while hot just out of the oil, add this powdered vinegar (acetic acid), salt and pepper! Pure Crack!

I'm talking about erasing the time hard drive, dogs living with cats, etc.

The parallel worlds are fictional worlds... you (the eternal omniscient spirit wafting lonely in the ethersphere) need the 'real' world of clunky matter and boring fundamental laws in order to access the infinite possiblities presented by Imagination. Maaaan.

I imagine that some/most of the possible 'universes' would be unviable, for whatever reason...
Yes, like the cloned "children" of Dolly the sheep.

Dude there are universes where you and your VP Leo are ruling the world.  Unfortunately they're worlds filled with unending pizza roll wars.

Backstabbing Leo?  Maybe I am better off here.  Plus I only burn my throat a few times a week in this universe.

All this thyme travel and talk of salt 'n vinegar chips is making me hungry.

Must make burritos...

Heh, pull my finger...

I've noticed Prof that as wife and I age, she is looking older than me... No worries Wife isn't a Bellgabber...  I've driven a car like a million miles, while wife drives a lot less. Does this explain the difference in our apparent aging.. Should I trade her in for a younger woman that has a lot of miles on her?   

I want to know the following.

If Ronald Mallett turns his time machine on today, and his grandson immediately steps out from 50 years in the future, then what happens for the next 50 years?  Does he see his grandson sitting in the time machine for the next 50 years until he actually climbs inside?

If so, doesn't that establish a continuity?  Wouldn't that mean the grandson never left this universe for an alternative one?  Then he could not have possibly gone to an alternative Universe because of the continuity we established by watching him for the next 50 years?

Now what happens if the grandson steps out and destroys the time machine?

If someone understands my question about continuity and can phrase it better, could you please wormhole this?

Mexico would deport you if you put rice inside a burrito!  :D

;) I'm just still trying to get ya on the probabilistic, "rounding," and "adjusting" stuff. And dogs can lie with cats and get along; albeit in an almost "balance of power" situation that would Metternich proud. Now, lambs with lions? Not yet.

I think they already did in a parallel universe, that's why I'm hear...

I think.

You can't put rice in a burrito?  I may be about to destroy the multi-verse complex, as I fully intend to ricify (sp) these burritos.  I will do it for science!

At least we are past the "One thyme at parallel universe band-camp..." caller stories before the question.
