Time Travel Is Possible -- Proven
December 9th 2006 04:30
All these years, I've been trying to prove time travel using physics. Apparently, I should have been looking to biology.
"A recent study has shown that illusory inversion of temporal order can be induced by the ‘intentional binding’ of an action with its consequence, and that this is associated with increased activation in a brain area implicated in conflict monitoring."

I've always been interested in the concept of time travel. Is it really possible? What are the recent studies regarding this?

Wow, as clear as crystal, keep looking in the crystal dear.
With Einstein's theory of relativity, such things seem possible, but, realistically, not probable, turn back the clock sufficiently and cure the cancer before it gets hold, etc etc and so forth.
I think Biology is just that little bit different and we fall into the headline trap.
Next step is to regenerate mice, but , as I said before, before the recent press on the deleterious effects of a new cholesterol treatment, effective in mice, harmful to man, to move forward we'll have to move on from mice and learn to reason more. Not a high priority in to-day's research, I think.

I made that title a bit tongue-in-cheek and I'm sorry for the confusion. This study is about human perception of past events. A part of the brain is stimulated (by an argument or other conflict) and the person begins to believe that their action X was a reaction to someone's action Y. But an uninvolved person could prove that Y came after X.
The study just says the person isn't lying when they say X came from Y--they really believe it and it has a biological cause.
Physics has proven time travel possible, but only for tiny inanimate particles. Nothing living has traveled yet.

I'm sure the mice would appreciate any work we do to make them look younger. We do seem to make more headway in curing mice of lifestyle diseases than we do for humans.

Makes you wonder whether he was having a bit of fun, or was a complete nutter. The ad was quite serious in it's tone and I seem to recall a line there about the successful applicant would need to supply their own weapons.

Except for the part about the weapons. Is he going back in time to commit a crime? Or is he just really curious what a war looks like?
Whatever the case, he's probably an interesting individual.

I think the weapons were for protection, but who knows.
