Time travel at the speed of thought? (A Thought Experiment)
« on: 26/02/2018 13:37:06 »
Hypothesis:
I have made you smile, you just don't know it yet.

Experiment:
Step 1
Copy paste the following statement into the google search engine and look at the image results
"I Feel sad and I wan't to blow my brains out"

Step 2
Smile

Step 3
Confirm my hypothesis

Conclusion:
I thought I was going to make you smile. I was right.

Feel free to attempt to disprove my hypothesis. I welcome new insights.

Wrong. You haven't made me do anything. Pointing out your ridiculous error is more of a social duty than a response.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_matrix
I see references back to 1973, and I'm sure it goes back a lot farther - the APL programming language (developed in the 1960s) has binary matrices.

Just how old are you?

Hypothesis:
You made us laugh, but it wasn't laughing with you.

He’s not old enough to remember it, but he is old enough to look it up before claiming the impossible (again).

Wishful thinking!  The desire to be able to send someone to another time.  :)

Probably using words like...

1) Sun
2) Mercury
3) Venus
4) Earth

N then requesting guests/members to use google images n take a flight of imagination from the sun to earth...

N then pointing out it takes about 8 minutes 20secs for light to reach earth from the surface of the sun...

N then mentioning the flight of imagination/thought ' in comparison ' only takes a few moments hence concluding the mind can travel faster than the speed of light.
That might have been a pretty thought example.

@Ve9aPrim3
P.S. - to be honest, your OP didn't make me smile but my post/reply did. ☺

Next time try harder, A.T.B. 👍
