pu7pl3: You have raised a very compelling discussion today bro
LOL. I've been pondering about it for a while now. Myself and Koice when he was still here, debated on it.
OhBritannia: Legendary reply 👌👌👌 and another observation is the date Ethiopia uses. If we travel to Ethiopia right now, we will land in 2017.
Yep. Then take again another example, the given date of 05-10-2002 in Lagos, Ikeja, Oba Akinjobi Street GRA. If I were there with you, Purple, Abdul, Oyaski, Glorious et al. If we hung out, now using Time travel, it's very possible for me to return back to the exact same date, in a different location, the same time zone and not encounter my old self chilling with you guys because it's a different location but the same time zone, as I wasn't in the location I traveled to in the past, this creating an alternate timeline or so I think
armadeo: Logically speaking time moves in one direction ( to the best of our knowledge). In a straight line so to speak.
Agreed.
Time travel would mean leaving that line at one point and getting to another point either ahead or behind while time itself doesn't stand still.
I believe Time itself stand still and the same time, it moves. It stand still with dates. Take for example 05-10-1983 etc. That itself is Time standing still, and Time can't go back to that time again, but it might be possible, humans can, with the aide of machines, just like aeroplanes, that usually take us from one time zone, to another.
How do you know where you'll land since it doesn't stop, and if you leave the " timeline " where will you be while waiting to reenter. How would the person exist outside the timeline.
There are so many questions unanswered.
The Blackhole theory ( bending the straight line till two poonts meet )is still the only one that has tried to answer the question however its still a theory and still doesn't answer " when the time traveller would arrive " there's no sure way of knowing.
The blackhole theory just make it easier to people to arrive at their various Time destination.
Take for example, going to Egypt. Egypt is 2 hours ahead of us, if I'm to walk there, it will probably take me more time, and also age me during the process of walking there. So using an aeroplane, it takes me less time and doesn't age me, much as walking will age me. This is the same logical explanation I have that buttress the blackhole theory.
Someone is making 7.6 million Naira within 3 weeks, while someone will work for 30 years and not even have up to that amount for their pension.
I honestly don't know why our system in Nigeria is somehow design to reward fraud and criminal activities, while at the same time, it punish honesty and honest labor.
Ishilove: You're right, though. While I may not agree with her sycophancy, I understand the sentiments behind it. We are in an era of shamelessness where many people must tear cloth and be shameless in order to get what they want.
My dear, you have no idea... Do you know how many times I've heard people (most times women) say those who have shame, are the ones who don't progress in life.
I've even heard some girls say, they don't even mind being used for yahoo plus, as long as they get to live in a lovely house, drive good cars and use the best phones. I mean, with such mindset, a woman tearing her clothes and riding on a man's pudenda is small fish, compared to what many of these girls of nowadays are doing.
Nickshrapnel: You have to assume he tried that and failed
Lol. I want to assume he didn't think of it, because if we assume he did and failed, that means Thanos is much stronger than Dormammu. I mean, 14 million attempts and only 1 succeed goes to show he never thought of it.
musicwriter: Obi Wali is a real African. If he was still alive I would have paid him a visit to learn more from him about the destruction of African languages in literature.
He and Ngugi wa Thiongo have been hidden away from you because they stood on the side of African languages. Yet, they're the people you should know as an African.
The people pushed to you as "literary giants" are the ones who sided with white imperialists to bring down the black civilization.
If anyone knows Obi Wali's family, kindly tell them to contact me. My email is: kemeticphilosophy@gmail I'll like to know whether he had some unpublished works talking about African languages.
budaatum: On Nigerians? My superpower really is atomically small. Least if I'm being honest.
Currently, I say, "food be in my belly", and my belly is full, but I've never tried feeding a state not to talk of endowing 200 million plus Nigerians with intelligence and smarts, lol.
I am currently experimenting very hard with the sweat of my own brow first though, such that when I say, "buda! Be smart and intelligent", buda gbam! Smarts and intelligent. Then buda will say, "others be smart and intelligent", and others too will rely on the sweat of their own brow to be smart and intelligent and wise.
In fact, I need volunteers. I'll be testing my superpower on me soon.
