Hehe, pele,

OAM4J:
Are people still expecting 6000mw this year? It is very unrealistic.

Very, mii dear!!

Why not?

This is my personal idea of how one can physically go back in time and witness events that happened millions of years ago. I have problems with the idea of folding space and traveling through a worm whole. This is a popular idea that scientists are toying with; but a critical analysis of that I idea makes its feasibility improbable. Perhaps, it's due to my little knowledge that makes me think the idea of folding space does not hold any water. Any body who can really explain that theory is welcome to explain it to me. So far I haven’t had an explanation of the space-fold theory that makes sense to me.

Before I proceed with my idea, I most warn you that this idea does to propose returning somebody in the present to live in the past, change the past or manipulate the past. Actually I believe that is impossible. My idea only offers a feasible scientific way of how people in the present can watch the past, but not participate in it or change it.

Here I go:

We all know that the visibility of things depends on how much light they emit or reflect. I.e. you can see the light bulb because of the light rays that it emits, You can see your brother, your sister, your room, or any object because the light rays from the sun or other light source(electric bulbs perhaps) reflect off the object and goes into your eyes. Thus if something emits no light, or reflects no light, that thing cannot be seen.
Se we arrive at a well known conclusion: Visibility depends on light rays.

Now the light ray that is emited or reflected off things takes time to travel. Vision appear instantaneous to us because light(rays) travels extremely fast. It also follows that the further a thing is away from us, the long it takes the light rays from it to reach us. Every body must have experienced this with sound. You can see a man sounding bell far away but the sound doest reach you the moment he strikes the gong, it takes a few moments. The same thing happens with thunder, which claps and it takes a few seconds for us to hear the clap; while the lightening that happened at the same time is seen by us almost instantaneously.

Looking at is critically, one can conclude that we can hear the past. Because the lightening that we hear may have already concluded before we hear the clap; the clap that we hear actually happened seconds ago. So this is a form of hearing the past. We can also experience the same with light; after all light( rays) and sound are nothing but waves which typically behave the same way. 

Lest just assume that the speed of light is 5 miles an hour. From an object that is 5 miles away from a light source, it will take an hour for light to travel from the source to that object. So if the light source goes out at 5pm; from this object, you can still see the light up till 6pm.
So when we look up to the stars in the sky, some of the stars that we see could have already died years ago; but from the earth we can still see them because the last ray of light that they emitted or reflected has not reached the earth.  So when we look up to the sky, to some extent we are actually seeing the past.

Now imagine the rays of light that the earth reflected 2000 years ago, from this ray we can see the earth the way it was 2000 years ago, irrespective of what the earth looks like now. The rays that light sources emit or objects reflect, travels perpetually away from the object or the light source. These rays will remain intact if they are not obstructed by another object. The rays that the earth reflected 2000 years ago are still traveling speedily away from the earth; so at a certain distance from the earth, one can see these rays. To put it simpler: If the speed of light is 5miles an hour; this means that the rays reflected by the earth 2000 years ago had only traveled 10000miles away from the earth. So if you look at the earth from another planet that is 10000 miles away from the earth, you will see the earth the way the earth was 2000 years ago.

Therein lies the time machine. If scientist can send satellites, with very powerful telescopic video cameras, so far away from the earth; and if from that distance, the satellites can video the earth and send the signals back to earth; then we can watch the past from the present time.

This means that from a TV screen or a computer screen we can watch what happened on earth 2000 or more years ago. 

Imagine watching the dinosaurs as they roamed the earth from your TV screen. Imagine watching the beatitude from your living room. Imagine listening to the actual Jesus on Sundays, during worship, from your TV screen. Imagine watching your favorite historic figures come alive again on your TV screen. Wonderful!!!!!

Anyway this is just an idea. But critically analyze it scientifically and tell me if it makes sense.

I know that the speed of light is actually 299,792,458 meters per second. I only said 5miles an hour just to make the math easier.

(Sings): Oyo lo wa!!

LOLOL for ur dreams

I suggest French for two main reasons- We are surrounded by French countries by all angles

Its such a shame that with all the revenues and taxes of Rivers State nothing can be shown for it.

Cant Amaechi see what Fashola is doing and follow suit or even do better?
