Time Slips and Time Traveling?

Go to the Stellarium Web Online Star Map
There you can select dates and times and locations for planets, stars, galaxies and more.

Thanks. What I had in mind was more of a God's p.o.v looking at the Solar System to show that Earth was at point X on August 10 1901 and at point Y on October 5 1789. I assume that when you tell your space car 'Gay Deceiver Bounce' it rewinds the clock and moves over a few million miles.

In that podcast one of the women claims they saw Marie Antionette. Of course she did, never mind the billions of faceless, nameless, unwashed masses of humanity that have truly turned the Wheel of History - she got to see a rock star. Sure. I am reminded of people who claim to channel really ancient past lives and its always Thundarr the Barbarian or a Warrior Princess, it's never some guy named Larry who ran a small cat meat shop until he caught dysentery and **** himself to death. What fun would that be?

If you like that Stellarium app I've had SkyView Lite on my phone a while, my niece turned me on to it and its free.

Sort of related to this, I've been watching old movies.

Every generation seems to think they have achieved a fantastic level of understanding, one so great that they feel as if they have Life, The Universe and Everything all figured out based on their current level of understanding. We also have a lot of angst over creating an artificial intelligence that will subsume us, but that's another thread. Thing is, it's a moving goal post. I am very cautious to never say never, to make a flat statement that something is impossible.

In non-scientific arenas this described unsinkable ships, impregnable fortresses. As far as my understanding of empirical science goes, its supposed to constantly revise itself as new evidence is presented. Often phenomena can be recognized by some, not necessarily accepted my all and it takes a while before mainstream science catches up. Smallpox vaccinations and germ theory being two i can think of right away. Think about how many 'healers' over the course of time have killed their patients by applying what were considered to be unassailable facts.

Does that apply to time travel, life after death and likely a few other interesting topics ? Sure. There's no harm in leaving a playing card in the door, you don't have to let it close completely.

This 1000%. I keep hearing all these idiots claim that they've got everything figured out and what they're saying (selling) is the safest bet ever. Yeah, ok pal.
