Time Travel

Ok.  I'll ask since no one else has.  Where?  And why?  That was pretty dang specific. 

No, it just sounds like a good date. Man I'm the only one answering the damn question and all I get is further questioning

1) I wouldn't want to lose an open mind. 2) I wouldn't even pick a time and date; that'd screw up the time-space continuum. But if you put a gun against my head, just so that I would take the risk, I'd have to say: England, late 60's, somewhere around 1967-68. That should give me enough time to assemble a band and break through with my silly, dated ideas by the standards of 2014. And I'd probably see Renaissance live at the Carnegie Hall for ... cheap prices? ... Maybe, maybe not, I don't know.

Good job, CV.    Sorry I must have missed something. What was 'the best explanation of the 2nd Law and of Entropy you ever heard'? Yea, I missed it too… What I say, what I say? I want to know; unless it’s sarcastic.  Actually, I still would want to know.  I like sarcasm, even if it’s directed towards me.   There are no wins, just far-reaching and open minded discussions.  And maybe some sarcasm.. When I first opened up the thread after you had posted about Gravity being an illusion, it showed your post as completely blank.  I quoted your post directly and there was nothing in it at first.  So yeah, it was a joke.

Yea, that was an excerpt from Through the Wormhole, season 5 episode 7, featured on the science channel.   One thing I love about the show is that each episode has top scientists giving different and opposing views on a particular subject matter. 

Actually, esoteric teachings and Einstein state that our physical reality is merely an illusion.

"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." - Albert Einstein

reminds me of this somehow

I would go back to Liverpool in the late 1950s, learn to play the drums really well and then track down John Lennon and say to him "I hear you're looking for a drummer".
