Meh. I've been better off than now. I've been worse off than now. If a person isn't around to lend me $20 'til payday I don't worry about them. That's just me, of course.
Quite.
(I was still being facetious. For the most part, I just plod along).
I figured.

Hitler was born, ergo time travel will never happen.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

I shot the fucker who was trying to shoot the Hitler child, because if he had succeeded my grandfather wouldn't have gone to war and met my grandmother- so how else would a poor man from Stoke meet a woman in Austria in the 1940s?

True Love would find a way, Dev.
Actually, I went back and shot a guy named Shicklegrubber, who was far, far worse than Adolf ever thought about being.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Come to think of it, if Hitler just got accepted to that french art school he applied to........ Maybe it was you that re-lost his admissions application?

Nah, I was the Jewish doctor who looked after his mum.

That, and they deal in absolutes for things that Einsteind himself did not claim he understood.
No.
Cherenkov radiation is composed of photons released by particles travelling faster than the speed of light in a medium with a higher refractive index than a vacuum. The particle must slow down, to obey relativistic rules, and emits radiation of a characteristic frequency to release that part of its kinetic energy.
The cool blue glow observed coming from intensely radioactive materials immersed in water is an example.

What about if the photon is going down a really really steep hill? Faster, right!

You can't travel through something that doesn't exist.
Time is just a property of movement. Elapsed time is just a record of the movement of the universe. And the future doesn't exist, so you can never go there.
How the fuck did they think you could go somewhere that doesn't exist?
Ten seconds in the future doesn't exist...but look! I'm there already!

At which point in time it is not the future.
I think there is a difference between travelling faster than the speed of light and travelling at a speed that is different to "time".

So if my car travels at the speed of light, what happens if I switch my highbeams on?
