Time Travel! A thing of the past...?

Ahh time travel, i can't wait until the figure it out, well i shouldn't have to because if they figured it out in the future then surely they would have come to the past and told us the secret but seeing as how no such thing has happened yet that means we will never discover the secret to time travel... or we are all selfish gits in the future!

Anyways, I wanted to talk to you about the age old dilemma of killing your grandfather in the past, the 'Grandfather Paradox'. ( Oh and remember i am talking about the theory of time travel, not time travel its self, trust me they're two completely different things. In the theory of time travel logic still applies whereas in actual time travel logic breaks down and is thrown out of the window.*Poof* not that it hasn't already... ) Anyway, it goes like this: If you went back in time and killed your own grandfather, you yourself would cease to exist. But! if you where able to go back in time and kill your grandfather then you wouldn't exists. But if you didn't exist then no one would have been around to kill your grandfather in the first place which enabled you to be born and then go and kill your grandfather ect ect as you can see it goes on for ever. Basically to kill your grandfather and therefore kill yourself would be rather illogical and by the laws of logic and reasoning rather impossible. But then again its just the theory of time travel. We could carry this conversation on for ever.

By Dan's explanation, this would mean you would be trapped in a time-space loop, meaning normal life would not be able to continue, as everything would be trapped in this loop forever. So i think that the best thing in this situation would be not to kill you grandfather in the past; but kill him in the present if you have that much of a grudge on him.
I Like paradoxes though, they are used quite a lot in literature as Oscar Wilde famously said: "I can resist everything except temptation." I believe this is so true for me, as I live by that quote. In Shakespeare he says "though this be madness, yet there is method in’t". Oh the joys ^__^. Although back to time travel, I would like to point out about "Bill and Teds excellent Adventure" if anyone remembers that. Bill and Ted are constantly realizing that their plans are foiled by the lack of a certain item, decide to later travel back in time and deliver themselves the necessary item, often indicating a specific place in which the item will appear. Upon searching the location, the item is invariably there. So it could help in the future.

Random Questioning.

Who Should Have Won: The Hare or the Tortoise?

Well, now you see I have done a lot of research on this... in theory the hare should win, because its faster. however if the hare goes too fast then it will not be able too see where its going. There fore will be more at risk of tripping over or getting caught in something (Peter Rabbit anyone?) So logically in any logical world with normal hares and normal tortises, then yes the hare should win. The problem is, i think the hare is so cocky because he is compensating for something else. Maybe a weak bladder, now this could really hinder the hare. The tortoise however being older (and we all know grandmas cheat at games) would find an easyer way to travel, Rockets maybe? some sort of automobiel whick makes it easyer for him. Maybe a pimped up scooter that you see the elderly on these days. So it would be debatable, however i think the tortiose would win by miles.

Hmm, well i guess as the tortoise is probably older, seeing as how they live to 150 (finding nemo ftw) he has probably lived in that area for longer so in theory he should know all the shortcuts and back-alleys better than the hare. And as the hare spends all his time wizzing around that probably leaves little time for exploring such areas. I think the tortoise deserves his victory as they are much cooler and have cooler looking shells that hares who don't even have shells!

But also if this where going on, in say a farmers field or a patch of woodland that fell into the boundaries of the farmers jurisdiction then he might cotton on to all the commotion and come over and just shoot the hare while he lay snoozing on the side of the patch.
(run rabbit, run rabbit, run run run,
run from the farmer and his gun gun gun,)

Wow, is that how the rhyme goes? I only ever knew the first line >.<

Would you like butter with that?

Hey ma peeps, Dan here! umm yeah anyway...

Do you ever think about the phrase "bread always lands buttered side down"? Well i do! What would happen if you didn't even butter the bread in the first place and then dropped it! Logic says it should land buttered side down, but there is no butter. so logically, it doesn't land. it just becomes suspended in time and space unable to move towards is pre-determined destination, the floor.

Okay, so we're sitting there in our kitchen, a piece of bread just suspended above the counter and your still hungry. this time we butter the bread, because we like butter, not marmite>.< (Dan is mean and won't let me have Marmite *sniff*), and again... Butter fingers! we've dropped the bread! But it didn't land buttered side down. Surely the gravitational forces of the butter would pull it downwards. But us being the cool people that we are butter the bread perfectly evenly, so the weight of the butter is spread out perfectly thus taking away some of the gravitational effects of the butter. Also dry bread is porous, so it would absorb some of the butter into it's center thereby even further taking away the gravitational instabilities of the bread!

Or i guess it could just be luck...

Dan? Does Butter have a gravitational force that's big enough? If it does, why don't the lighter things have an orbit around it, surely by now all butter blocks should have their own asteroid belts made from dust, and in supermarkets everything must be nailed down, because that much butter all together (if we are going on the more the mass the bigger the gravitational pull) must have its own moon somewhere. Also, if butter does it must have a bigger gravitational pull than the bread to land butter side down. Which would all depend on how skimpy you are with the butter...

Still i prefer Marmite, so i don't have this problem.
