I didn't even notice the date on this thread. :/

Along similar lines though.. I remember reading an article in The New Scientist about 20 odd years ago (although I've never found it since, despite looking for it) where two lasers were fired at the same time.. one in a straight line through air and the other through a maze of mirror.. the strange thing the one through the maze of mirrors reached the measuring point first, which also meant that it beat the constant.

I wish I could find it again...

Maybe it was confiscated by the time police ;-)

Heh :)

Yeah, I know it sounds weird, that's why I've always wanted it clarified.

Why? So that I can play old PC games? I can play them also now, thanks to DOSBos, GOG etc., so I don't really see the point.

(Fjuck, now I actually did travel to the past, by accidentally replying to an old thread... Whee!)

I reckon that you might wish to reconsider any prospects of time travel that you might have since it would completely violate the time space continuum as when you consider time travel even as a hypothetical proposition - matter is being brought into existence from nothing and it would completely disrupt the time-space continuum leading to a cascading effect that might just threaten all of existence...
