And also people who like watching Ashton Kutcher pretend to be an actor.
From what I've seen, that movie's headed straight to the MST3K pile.

i hate it when i have to do a google search just to decipher comments 
although Ashton Kutcher was a major portion of the movie, and i am not a fan of him, his being there didn't retract from my opinion of the movie.
if you watched it, you musta like it enuff to do so, if you haven't seen it yet, but only previews, then your opinion is flawed. either way, its not really that bad.

| I generaly hate time travel moveis because they always ignore the real paradoxical impossibility of changing the past, and that's assuming going back in time was possible, which it isn't. not even theoreticaly. |
at this point, time travel is more a belief than a reality (obviously) but i personally believe it will be discovered as possible someday.
i also believe that altering the past is impossible, cause were it, the moment you conceived its possibility, it would have become reality.
lastly, i believe ALL events, from the beginning of time to the end have already occurred, they are set in stone, its just we haven't caught up to the future ones yet.
strange beliefs for sure, but they are mine none the less... i love almost all time travel films, but my best is Bill and Ted's excellent adventure, the concept of placing the keys behind something in the past, but conceived in the future, for use in the present.. was GREAT ![]()

Uh... show me a theory/decent hypothesis that says it's not possible?
Anyway, does anyone know the name of the song? Not Mad World, but the scary sounding instrumental.
Hmm, don't know which one you're talking about, but my best guess would be "Liquid Spear Waltz"?
Maybe "Manipulated Living" or "Ave Maria"?

C'mon, I thought Ashton Kutcher was a recognizable enough name to make fun of w/o a link.
Seriously though man, if you haven't experienced the old school sci-fi film joy that is MST3K, then you my friend are just missing out COMPLETELY.
As for time travel, well if you believe that time doesn't exist, like I do, then it makes it rather hard to travel through. My theory is matter just is, and then it changes, there is no "time" to move through at all. I also like believing in free will cause it keeps me from getting the Heebie Jeebies so there being no such thing as time is good for that, cause you can't have predestination without time.
*must resist temptation to give a philosophy lesson*
Hnngggh.

/me scratches buttocks..
i have no idea how this went from time to free-will 
anyways, sometime later, as opposed to soon, we need to explore this more.

My good man Siddhartha said in the novel of the same name that every object is at once itself and everything else in the universe, because time is only an illusion.
To my knowledge, nothing is actually created or destroyed, different atoms take shape as various identities, all of which have limited lifetimes. I think this goes a step further: there is nothing that is really new, everything has existed from the beginning, but everything is just a different combination of essential elements and parts of reality.
Thus, over a long enough timeline, different elements of my (then decomposed) self will integrate into other things with other identities, then into others, then into others, over and over again, until I have become everything.
I'm not exactly clear as to why he said that time does not exist, however, but clearly some of you guys do, so I ask you why.

How does he know every object is 'at once' (despite this seemingly not meaning anything to him) itself and everything in the Universe? I can see what he's saying, but it's a bit mongish/OTT to say there's only one object ever. What's so bad about having, say, 2?
You can have a tree, which is one thing, one object, and when many trees come together you have a forest, which in turn becomes one thing. When you take that forest, and, say, some grassland, you have a countryside, a little more and you have a nation, add more and you have a continent, and this process of grouping repeats on until the universe can be defined through one thing (for Siddhartha, that one thing is Om).
