Cunting Scientists Piss on Time Travel

You 21st century humans have a lot to learn, lol.

The speed of light cannot be exceeded! No aircraft can break the sound barrier! No train will ever go faster than 30 miles an hour! It will never work, get a horse!

Might as well shut the patent office, since everything has been invented.

Well, they have developed a new way to put a point on a quill. That will make writing easier.

I've heard of a new mechanical writing device, or more correctly, a mechanical printing device, called a "type writer". Apparently, it has a separate key for each letter, which, when pressed firmly, impresses a copy of the chosen letter on a piece of writing paper, by way of striking a piece of ink stained ribbon. I can see no real use for such a machine, imagine the dreary tedium of repeatedly striking these "keys", impressing one letter after another, until an entire document has been created!

If this sort of nonsense is all that modern "science" can manage I think we can safely ignore it for the obvious social fad it is.

In the future It may be possible to link such a machine to the telegraph network and send Tele-types messages think of that !

Actually, they are morons... Cherenkov luminescence is due to photons passing through the fluid faster than the speed of light is it not?

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.

A FORMER employee of mine suggested we use one.

Yeah, like Gates's "I don't see a time when we will ever need more than 64K to load a program" myth.

Fun repeating it though... makes one feel better about their vast wealth compared to one's own paltry cash.

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.

Nonsense! It requires intensive training to understand Morse or International, how would a machine know which key to press based on a series of dots and dashes?

That Bell fellow, now, he's a genuine danger and should be jailed! A bloody Socialist if you ask me. If his telephonic speaking machine isn't banned then anyone, anyone at all, will be able to shout in your ear from miles away regardless of their social station. Imagine the chaos that would ensue. You would come home from a long day and find your wife gossiping with the neighbors or sit down to a well deserved dinner only to be interrupted by some poltroon trying to sell you a bottle of patent medicine. No, this simply won't do. We must nip it in the bud, I say, in the bud!

Quite.
