This is basically nonsense; time travel with the LHC is probably less likely than the other typical LHC related hoopla, such as the fearmongering over it creating Earth destroying black holes. This time travel hype started with the Russian and a dozen clueless media outlets have run with it.

there are somethings that just aren't possible, like:
-time travel
-dividing by zero
-getting a good blowjob from kronos' ex for anything other than a big mac and a large diet coke (if you have said payment ask her to take her dentures out for that pleasant gummy feel)

^Actually an old ex-girlfriend of mine cheated on me by giving a dude a blowjob in return for a dimebag. I didn't know about it until after we broke up, of course. To be fair, she DID share it with me, and it WAS good weed.

I make up a lot of goofy shit here from time to time, but this time isn't one of them. It's 100% true.

Sharing that was oddly non-cathartic.

Actually, time travel is possible according to relativity. The faster you move through space the slower you move through time, so just move fast enough and you are effectively traveling to the future. To move backwards in time you need a wormhole with one end close to a black hole, the extreme gravity is equivilent to moving fast under general relativity, so that end of the wormhole lags in time behind the other end.

Dividing by 0 is also possible. The limit of k/n, where k is any constant, as n approaches 0 is infinity. Similarly, k/infinity = 0.

Rottenseed strikes out on all three counts.

The LHC does not offer any sort of time travel. THC, however...

"approaching" isn't a finite number even if you say the difference between the number being approached and the actual approaching points are negligible. Infinity cannot be grasped, only discussed, it is metagnostic (thanks choggie . Solving math by using limits is like having sex with a condom: its safe and it gets the job done, but it just isn't the raw fun that everybody can enjoy. but thanks for your definition of horizontal and vertical asymptotes though, that was lovely. And the third point about kronos' ex wasn't disproved, he just doesn't know about it

I hate having to defend my jokes

Just another scientist selling out to get his fifteen minutes.

i'ma post a comment for all the non-smarty pants that watch this:

could that lady breathe ANY MORE if she tried?

Saying that one is effectively moving through time because they are going fast is the same thing as saying that I'm traveling through time sitting here on my amazing ass. As I sit here, time passes by. That doesn't mean I'm traveling though it. OH, and one other tiiiiiiiny thing - it's called the theory of relativity for a reason.

No, my money is on the statement that time travel is not possible. If it were, theoretically, we would already know about it. How can something exist that hasn't happened yet?

I say that time is only something that man created to organize his life, and there isn't some extra-planar existence or any other B.S. like that.

"it's called the theory of relativity for a reason." Growl, theory in science is fact.
