Future is getting closer

Is sci-fi to pschologically prep us for this stuff?

I was bored 20 seconds in. Did you post this just because the scrawny punk's name is Ian?

Actually scientists have just proven that the future is NOT getting closer.

Time relativity bugs me and I dont believe in it.

If youre busier time goes quicker and all that twaddle.

It's illogical.

Many things are illogical and people seem to believe in them with no facts at all but this is not one of those cases. It is a proven fact. Or Do a Google search on "GPS time dilation" for other articles. It's well documented.
The clocks on GPS satellites tick faster than Earth-based clocks and have to be adjusted constantly to account for relativity or the whole GPS system would be worthless in about 2 minutes.

Oh and the XBox thing. Lame video but the concept is pretty cool in how that it reads your body movements.

But your lameness is.

I'm still a dumbass whose none the wider.

I'm still ... none the wider.

That's the benefit of healthy eating and excercise right there.

Im wiser for that!

Time slowing down the faster you go is old hat and was physically proved ages ago using atomic clocks on jets. Time REVERSING due to frame dragging around rotating black holes IS interesting-since some of these natural time machines may have existed well before the start of mankind, it creates the prospect of raising the dead (whereas a man made time machine, as proposed by the brilliant Ron L Mallete, could only take you back to the time it was built) Of course, mankind will need near light-speed spaceships to ever reach such objects, so that won't be for a long time, since even relativistic speeds are outside present day technology.

Yes, I do see the irony in my post. The Trail of Tears is enough to have me banned.
