Rob (00:00):
All right, chris.
What are you doing?
Let's do this.
We still have our time machineright, we have the time.
Yes.
Chris (00:04):
Okay, where are you taking us?
No, we're not going to goanywhere, but I just want to.
Good, because it's still in theshop.
Yes, Okay, good good, we wantto talk about it.
Victor (00:17):
No, we can't give away our secrets about time travel.
No, we're not going to give oursticker away.
Rob (00:29):
Okay, good, I'll be honest with you, I don't really know
how it works.
I kind of just press buttonsand then it takes us back in
time.
Chris (00:33):
I don't even think we have the manual.
I think we lost that.
Well, grab your flux capacitorand hold on tight.
I'm not dumb, but is timetravel possible?
Cesar (00:40):
Welcome to the I'm not dumb, but podcast, where we
won't claim to have the answersto life's deepest questions but
we'll give you an excitingjourney into the realms of
knowledge you never knew you'dneed Might be mainstream, but
not common knowledge.
From artificial intelligence toconspiracy theories, no topic
is too taboo for us to explore.
Let's get curious together.
Chris (01:00):
I'm your host, chris, and today I'm joined by Rob.
Hello, cesar, yo and Victor.
How y'all?
Victor (01:06):
doing what's up, chris?
Cesar (01:09):
Chris.
Back to the Future is one of myfavorite movies.
It's a great film.
Chris (01:19):
Trilogy Hello, hello, anybody home?
There's a lot of time travelmovies.
We all seen in the movies likeBack to the Future, like you
just said, or the shows likeDoctor who, but the big question
is can it actually happen,though?
Do you guys know anything abouttime travel?
Rob (01:31):
Well, we're traveling through time right now.
Cesar (01:33):
Yeah, no yeah.
Rob (01:34):
We are always traveling through time, you know the one
thing we never share is when wetime travel in our episodes.
The listeners don't know this,but we actually have to time
travel back to present day, andthat's actually the worst part.
Cesar (01:46):
Because we've gone back to different timelines.
Rob (01:48):
Because we've gone back and then coming back is always a
problem.
You have to kill the other guy.
If you overshoot it a littlebit, like it's just, it's never
clean.
That's why we don't use it toomuch.
Yeah, that, and gas prices arecrazy.
I mean in this economy.
Chris (02:02):
So what exactly is time travel?
Moving through time, movingbetween different points in time
?
Fun fact in late 1800s HG Wellshe was an English writer
popularized the idea of timetraveling in his book called the
Time Machine.
Yeah, raymond, yeo you knowabout this.
Victor (02:23):
I've seen the movie.
Yeah, what's?
Cesar (02:25):
his name.
What's the main character inthat movie?
Is it Guy Pearce?
Victor (02:29):
Guy, something that is the actor that played the time
travel man.
Chris (02:33):
Wait, the movie is based on the book.
Yes, I didn't know that.
Rob (02:38):
I think it has the same title.
Chris (02:41):
I know, but I didn't know it was a relay.
Victor (02:42):
I didn't connect the two dots together.
Cesar (02:44):
Okay, he's an idiot Comes from upbringing.
Parents are probably idiots too.
Chris (02:50):
Since then, the time travel has been everywhere in
pop culture movies, books and TVshows.
Victor (02:56):
Yeah, but like they have to have thought of time travel
before that, they probablydidn't popularize it like he did
, no, but I mean, I'm sure itwas on people's minds like, hey,
I wish I can go back and notget, of course not let that guy
get kicked by that horse, or,you know, let not let that army
invade carthage or whateverancient people think about.
Cesar (03:15):
People weren't just like, oh, machinery, time travel,
like it must have been thoughtabout before, or not probably
probably ancient cultures, likethinking about the times, like
that the gods were amongst them,trying to go back to them you
have chronos.
Victor (03:30):
What's that I?
Chris (03:31):
was gonna say wait what's that?
Victor (03:32):
that's the greek god of time oh, really so.
Rob (03:38):
Does greek mythology have any cool time travel?
Is that the god of war?
Victor (03:42):
that's kratos rob, you've played god of war.
Did you have to fight chronos?
Rob (03:47):
uh, not in the first one.
Oh, he was a titan, he wasn't agod.
Oh, I'm sorry, make sure youget it right.
Make sure you get it right yeah, let's rewind chronos the titan
.
Chris (04:00):
Back in 1905, albert Einstein.
So he introduced a theory ofspatial relativity.
Einstein suggests that timeisn't the same everywhere, it's
relative.
But what does?
Rob (04:12):
that actually mean.
Everyone knows the theory ofrelativity, Everyone knows E
equals MC squared right.
But what does that mean?
Chris (04:21):
So if you travel close to the speed of light, time for
you would slow down compared tosomeone who's standing still, so
in a way you could travelforward in time.
Does that make sense?
Victor (04:35):
No, Can I give it a shot , Chris?
Imagine space was a piece offabric, a tablecloth if you will
, and you had a ball pushingdown into that tablecloth.
Time there is relative to thecloth being pushed down.
Cesar (04:55):
Because of the gravitational force that that
ball is placing on that area.
Victor (05:00):
And if you move away from that gravity, time is
relative to where you are, soit's different from where you
are on this ball.
So, for instance, our GPSsatellites are out in space.
Their clocks are setdifferently to ours because
they're experiencing timedifferently than we are on Earth
.
So how would I go backwardsthough?
(05:22):
So, according to Star Trek, youjust have to circle the sun
really fast.
Chris (05:28):
Engage, and then you go back in time.
Victor (05:30):
Superman did it differently.
Superman just started flying inreverse.
Cesar (05:36):
And just reversed the planet.
Victor (05:38):
Reversed the planet.
That's how he did it.
Cesar (05:40):
Wait, he flew backwards, or flew in reverse backwards,
Flew counterclockwise to thewell, counter rotations to the
Earth.
So he literally made the Earthgo back.
Rob (05:50):
Yeah, that makes sense, that makes sense.
Victor (05:53):
I don't think that's how it works.
Chris (05:54):
No, yeah.
Rob (05:55):
It doesn't work like that.
Chris (05:57):
With that theory.
There were scientists whotested this with atomic clocks.
They're extremely accuratetypes of clock, pretty much.
Victor (06:04):
That's such a bad idea.
That's such a bad, isn't thatwhat it is?
Yeah, but that didn't explainwhat it was.
Describe it to those that don'tknow.
Okay, so you know how mostwatches are quartz, right, right
, yeah, so it's basicallysending a small Mine's diamond,
but I understand what you'resaying.
Cesar (06:21):
You also have a great health insurance.
Rob (06:23):
It's made of diamonds.
Can't go wrong with diamonds.
Victor (06:26):
So it sends a small electric charge through the
quartz, vibrating it at acertain frequency, which
therefore keeps the clock inplace, clicking at the same
exact speed.
An atomic clock does the sameexact thing, except it uses
cesium or rubidium.
Chris (06:44):
Hmm.
Victor (06:45):
Wow, think about old school clocks, right?
Pocket watches, pocket watchesyeah, you had to constantly
crank them for them to keep thetime that's what quartz took
place of.
So instead of you cranking them, they just said, hey, we're
going to put a battery in there,run it through this little
piece of thing and its frequencyis going to keep cranking it,
so it keeps working.
(07:05):
Oh wow, the atomic clock.
Basically.
They were like this is way moreaccurate.
We're going to put this pieceof cesium or rubidium in there
and it's just going to keep it.
Gps works the same way.
Gps is basically the hand thatcranks your clock.
Rob (07:18):
We went to the same high school.
At what point did you learnthis I?
What point?
Victor (07:22):
did you learn this?
I know I learned this from themilitary, oh all right.
Should have went to themilitary bro.
Chris (07:26):
Should have joined the military.
Thanks for that, victor.
So they sent one on a plane,while the other stayed on the
ground.
Do you want to guess whathappened?
They fell in love.
Yeah yeah, not quite a bit, butthe clock on the plane ticked
slower.
That's to prove that timechanged with speed right.
So they actually tested thetheory and it actually worked.
So if you want to travel intothe future, all you need is a
(07:50):
way to get close to speed oflight.
That said, the only person Iknow who can do that is Flash.
I don't know anyone else whocan do that, superman.
Rob (07:59):
Superman can go the speed of light.
Victor (08:01):
They race each other constantly, so who wins?
Yeah, that's a good question.
Cesar (08:06):
Hello no.
Chris (08:07):
So let's talk about traveling backwards.
So one theory that gets a lotof attention is a wormhole.
These are like shortcutsthrough space-time connecting
two distant points in time.
Shortest distance between twopoints A straight line Wrong.
Shortest distance between twopoints is zero Sounds Wrong.
Shortest distance between twopoints is zero Sounds cool, but
(08:28):
we don't know if they exist.
No wormholes has been found,and even if one did pop up, we
might not be able to use it.
Cesar (08:37):
If you're going to travel through this thing you're going
to have the coordinates on theother side.
And did Einstein come up withwormhole theory or no?
Because if it did, a lot of thestuff, a lot of the theories
that he's come up with are beingfound to be true now.
So if there's things, if he's,if he talked about it, right, we
just haven't had theopportunity to find out, but
(08:58):
there it's probably legit.
The same thing with the theoryof relativity.
Chris (09:02):
The same thing with a whole bunch other theories he
came up with the reason that whywe can't use it, because the
wormholes are unstable and wouldrequire exotic matter to keep
them open, which we haven'tdiscovered, and they also likely
too small for travel and couldcause time paradoxes.
Rob (09:19):
So you're saying that there's something happening
where time is happening slowerand then I'm moving at a faster
rate, right?
So now I have two differenttypes of time, but the wormhole
will allow me to go to thisdestination quickly, so
technically I'll be able to jumpthat and then be back in the
(09:39):
past.
I don't get that.
Cesar (09:41):
Is it actually the past or is it just a different
location?
That's my thing.
It would be in the past, but itjust a different um location in
in, and that's my thing.
Rob (09:46):
It would just be.
It would be in the past, butit'd be at a different location,
which wouldn't help.
Victor (09:50):
I need to go back what are you looking for in the past?
Love, we're all looking forlove.
Rob (09:56):
Just fix all the things I did in my 20s.
Chris (10:01):
He's gonna fix that too.
We need to go back.
The wormholes are like just oneof the theories that is out
there, and I think this is morepopular one just because you
know we see wormholes in themovies, right, I think you see
that more often than othertheories or they create a
wormhole right yeah, right withexotic matter coming to the
(10:21):
stage exotic matter.
Cesar (10:23):
20s only, please.
So we've never, we've neverseen a wormhole Coming to the
stage Exotic matter.
Rob (10:26):
20s only, please.
So we've never seen a wormhole?
No, and we don't know how touse it.
Nope, we just have this idea.
Victor (10:33):
Fun fact for you, there are no evidence that wormholes
exist in our world None.
However, they're oftendescribed in solutions to
important physics equations.
Fucking math is weird, dude.
How hard is it to go the speedof light?
Supposedly impossible.
(10:53):
You cannot go to the speed oflight and why is that?
Cesar (10:56):
It's basically one of these laws that kind of allows
the universe to exist, breakingthat down, well then, kind of
just destroys everything, butyou can get to 99.99% of the
speed of light.
Victor (11:11):
Is that Mach 1?
Rob (11:12):
No, that's sound, that's sound right.
Victor (11:14):
Mach 1 is sound.
Rob (11:16):
Don't they go like Mach 10?
Victor (11:17):
Yeah, but that's on Earth, right.
So that's like a pain in theass, because now whatever you're
creating is fighting air.
Oh, right, right.
So the fastest man-made objectever Was the Black.
Rob (11:29):
Knight satellite.
Victor (11:47):
That's good.
It's fastest man-made objectever was the black knight
satellite.
The truth is out there,reaching speeds of 394 736 miles
an hour.
This is nearly 400 times fasterthan a fighter jet and 500
times faster than the speed ofsound.
Is the nasa's parker solarprobe?
Cesar (11:56):
huh, give it up to parker solar probe is that the one
that's recently doing the flybysthe the sun?
Yeah, that's crazy how they wow, they're doing that dang.
Chris (12:09):
So what aboutes?
Have you guys heard aboutgrandfather paradox?
Cesar knows all about it.
Go ahead, Chris.
If you travel back in time andaccidentally prevent your
grandfather from meeting yourgrandmother, would you still be
born?
Some scientists believe theseparadoxes would be impossible
because the data mess with thelaw of physics.
Others think that time couldfix itself If you did something
(12:33):
to mess up the Others think thattime could fix itself If you
did something to mess up thepast.
The universe would just correctitself.
No one knows, but it's just funto think about.
Cesar (12:41):
So in your research, did the idea of the multiverse come
into play and like, if you'regoing to time travel either
forward or backwards, you're notgoing into your own travel,
either forward or backwards,you're not going into your own.
Yeah, the grandfather paradoxmight not work or might not
exist if you time travel into adifferent universe.
Yeah, realistically, all thisshit is theoretical, right?
One of the theories I heard isthat time is like this the past,
(13:02):
present and future areliterally all happening right
now simultaneously.
So what has happened willhappen, or it has already
happened.
Victor (13:10):
This timeline sucks, then I've crossed into your dark
timeline.
Chris (13:14):
Let's talk about pop cultures.
So, from Back to the Futures toDoctor who, time travel has
captured our imaginations.
One of the most iconic timemachine is the DeLorean.
Yes, the DeLorean, of course.
Cesar (13:29):
The phone booth, bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Or the hot tub, hot tub.
That's a good one too.
Rob (13:34):
Hot tubs are great time machines.
Chris (13:39):
It must be some kind of hot tub time machine.
Just want to say that back inthe future, where the doctor was
a Dr Brown and Marty McFlyshows us how dangerous of
meddling with time.
Victor (13:51):
They tried to fix them right in the in the movie.
It depends which uh movie you'retalking about, because only the
second one was the one thatthey were really trying to fix
time.
The first one, if you remembercorrectly which I don't think
you did, obviously.
Uh, he gets trapped, he getsaccidentally sent back in time
and gets stuck there.
He has to, um, find a youngerdoc brown, convince him that he
(14:15):
created a time machine in thefuture, and then wait for a
certain weather event to happento possibly be sent back to the
future, because you need 1.21gigawatts.
Chris (14:26):
Go.
Cesar (14:30):
Johnny Go go, go.
Victor (14:32):
So in the first one he was just trying to lay low, find
Doc Brown and get back to hispresent time and then ended up
bumping into things and messingthings up, but he ended up
fixing things Like he made hisfuture life a lot better than
his past life.
Cesar (14:48):
You know what I always wondered?
Let's say, you make a decisionnow, right, and you had another
decision to make.
If you can look at the timeline, you need the time stone.
Like you could see that as itprogresses like, huh, oh, that
would have.
Okay, that would have sucked.
Oh damn it, I missed anopportunity.
Victor (15:05):
It's like that Nicolas Cage movie Next, where he could
see a minute into the future,and so he would change things
depending on what his outcomewas.
Interesting, for instance, likegambling.
He would go and gamble and he'dsee what it rolled to or what
the number hit, so then he'd goback and then he could, uh,
change that never heard of it so, like the movies like the
(15:26):
terminator, it's another goodone donnie darko and, uh, bill
and ted's excellent adventureyeah, that's another good one.
Chris (15:30):
Donnie Darko and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure yeah,
that's another good one.
Do you guys know any of themovies that comes to your mind?
There's Primer Primer.
Victor (15:39):
What's that one?
Cesar (15:39):
What's that one about?
Victor (15:40):
It's about these guys that discover time travel and
then they use it to try to beton stocks and then a bunch of
weird stuff happens.
Hot Tub Time Machine that's agood one.
Rob (15:48):
Yeah, hot Tub Time Machine, that's a good one, yeah, a
great one.
Victor (15:49):
Source Code oh, that one's a good one too.
Rob (15:51):
Oh yeah, source Code yeah.
Victor (15:53):
There's Looper I haven't seen that one there's About.
Rob (15:56):
Time.
What's the one with Tom Cruiseand the aliens?
Edge of Tomorrow, edge ofTomorrow.
That's a great one.
Cesar (16:03):
Ooh, that's a great one.
That's a on Netflix.
It's a series.
It's fucking weird.
I think it's either Dutch orsomething like that, but it's
called Dark.
Victor (16:15):
There's Tenet X-Men Days of Future Past.
Rob (16:19):
One that I like is the one with Loki and the Time Variance
Authority, and they have all thethreads of different times, and
then they do a good job withthe time there.
Cesar (16:29):
Umbrella Academy.
They had a little time travel.
Rob (16:31):
That's time travel?
Yes, oh, yeah it does, thatdoes.
Chris (16:35):
So it's popular, man Right.
What about shows besides Doctorwho?
Do you guys watch Doctor who?
No, but I heard it's great.
No, I have you guys.
Never.
I've seen the newest one.
Which doctor?
The black dude.
Victor (16:50):
Nope, I stopped after David Tennant.
That was probably the bestdoctor.
Rob (16:54):
So what is he?
He goes back in time in thephone booth.
Victor (16:57):
Yes, the TARDIS.
Yeah, it's not a phone booth,it's a TARDIS, technically a
police box.
Rob (17:02):
It's red.
It looks like a phone boothright.
No, it's blue.
Chris (17:06):
Oh, it's blue it's blue, it's a police box.
Victor (17:14):
It's not a phone bill, so why did you go back in time?
A lot of stuff like everythinghappens because time is.
Rob (17:18):
It's more like a big ball of wibbly, wobbly, timey wimey
stuff it is very interestingshow.
Cesar (17:22):
It's very uh creative yeah now, if you can go back in
time, I will go back.
Rob (17:27):
Crypto, baby crypto, crypto bitcoins we wouldn't even have
to go back that far yeah.
Victor (17:33):
No, you got to go 2008, fucking just buy yeah just buy a
ton of everything bitcoin forlike a fraction of a cent and
then wait till 2025 I want tohear what you guys think about
time travel, like like.
Chris (17:45):
How you guys feel about it.
Victor (17:46):
I guess it is possible, right?
We're constantly moving forwardin time and you can go to the
future.
I am not a mathematician, so Idon't know if we can go back in
time.
And if we could, how would weknow what if they already went
back in time and changed whatthey were supposed to change?
Cesar (18:02):
The whole concept of it is kind of like because, like I
watch all these theoreticalphysicists and stuff and talk
about the universe, all laws ofthe universe and stuff, all that
stuff is trippy.
I don't know.
If you travel back in time,it's like me going back to
yesterday.
I don't know if that's possible.
Right, can't fathom it.
I maybe travel forward in time,traveling the speed of light.
(18:24):
Maybe I could see thathappening, but traveling back to
a specific point in time Idon't know.
Victor (18:32):
I don't know if I want to travel forward in time,
though it seems that the world'sjust getting shittier and
shittier so I don't thinkthere's anything good in the
future, to be honest, no, thefuture is great man.
Rob (18:43):
The future is always better , okay, even though you look
back and you're like, oh, thepast was bad.
We had a lot of like.
You had like slavery you hadlike a lot of disease.
Not that far back, yeah, butyou know, the future is always
better.
You can always change thefuture, you know.
You just gotta do the hard worknow.
I have hope there was somethingthat always like interested me,
(19:06):
or this theory of, like, um,the quantum field theory.
Right, you guys heard aboutthat.
Yeah, can't say it comes up inmy regular day-to-day that often
no, but it was like they had avacuum right, and a vacuum is
supposed to have nothing in it.
Let's say, this idea is thatthere's fluctuations in a vacuum
, there's actually movement in avacuum and it's just that these
particles pop in and outconstantly, but they don't know
(19:29):
where they come from and theydon't know where they go, and
they happen at such a scale thatcan't really even see it at a
large scale.
But one of these theories thatI always thought about, and it
kind of stuck with me, is thatthings pop in and out from
different timelines.
They would pop in and pop out.
I think it kind of ties intothe past, present, future always
happening at the same time.
Basically, there's thisconstant buzzing, even in a
(19:51):
vacuum, I mean.
So if that was the case, likelike there's different versions
of yourself happening, like theone with jet lee, which is great
, right, right, right yeah, yeah.
But like, how do you go intothose other areas?
Like the universe is trippy,man, the universe is trippy when
you really think about it.
Victor (20:06):
You probably don't want to well, all I know is that
caesar's calves are small inmost of those universes forget
you.
Rob (20:16):
I don't know, if there's one, it's like finally makes it
to another timeline.
He's like are you serious?
Victor (20:22):
he's gonna.
He has to kill his alternateversions for his calves to grow
bigger but they would never beaesthetically bigger.
Cesar (20:34):
He would just be super strong.
I'm hoping in one of thesetimelines just one, they're a
decent size.
You're on a cycle and you'rejust like jacked.
They're like normal.
Victor (20:43):
Just normal and even in that world where he's like huge,
he's the smallest person there.
Cesar (20:48):
Yeah, Nobody's bitch.
Rob (20:54):
You are mine, is it?
The universe is too weird.
I mean if, if the idea of spacetime is true.
I mean, we already know thattime is tied into gravity, and
we do it now with our satellites, so we know that there's
fluctuations in time.
I just don't know how we would.
I don't know how we would useit, like you know.
How do you even do that?
I was looking up E equals MC,squared right, so this is what
(21:15):
it means.
This is why it's impossible.
The speed of light, so E isenergy, or reaching the speed of
light, reaching, reaching 100%the speed of light.
Victor (21:23):
The speed of light is possible because that's how
light travels.
Rob (21:27):
Yeah, yeah, but so this is how.
This is what it means, right?
So E is energy, and then equalsM, which is mass, and then C is
the speed of light squared.
So any mass that travels thespeed of light would essentially
turn into energy.
That's why light, which is pureenergy, travels that fast.
(21:47):
But the problem is is youapparently need a ridiculous
amount of energy to move massthat fast, and we do not have it
, because I guess, as masstravels fast, it takes more and
more and more and more energy tomove it even faster, and that
amount of energy is impossiblewith our technology.
Cesar (22:09):
Give me a couple of monsters, I'll travel with the
speed of light.
Chris (22:12):
Yeah, this is what I think.
If time travel was real, wewould have some kind of sort of
like proof by now, right?
Victor (22:22):
No, we're fucking idiots , no one was coming back now.
Anything.
Rob (22:27):
Anyone who can go back in time is going to skip this
period.
Cesar (22:30):
The thing is, you wouldn't know, chris, if someone
comes back in time and changessomething, that timeline
automatically changes.
Chris (22:38):
So you wouldn't know if someone came in, unless they
told you I don't know Writingnotes anything.
They tried this already.
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
They tried this.
Victor (22:47):
You ever hear of the time traveler party.
You have a party, how?
Rob (22:51):
does it end?
Victor (22:52):
And then you post about the party in the future, and so
whoever shows up to your partyis a time traveler.
Chris (22:59):
Yes, I heard about that.
Yes, because there's no waythey would have known about it,
wasn't that in?
Victor (23:02):
HG Wells' book.
I don't know, I didn't read it,you didn't read it, I didn't
read, I don't read yeah, theyhad a party where they had a
table.
So much research on the timethat you're going to, because
you'd probably stick out like asore thumb If you just threw me
(23:25):
in.
Like ancient Rome.
I don't speak Latin.
Like, what am I doing there?
I don't even know the customs.
I probably don't have the whitewardrobe, the hardest part.
Rob (23:34):
I think about time travel.
Let's say we Fighting the apes.
Chris (23:41):
Oh, okay, sorry, no part.
I think about time travel,let's say.
Let's say we fighting the apes.
Oh okay, sorry, no the apes.
Rob (23:46):
We figured something out with the apes take your sticking
paws off me.
You damn dirty ape you gottapinpoint where the earth was in
space time.
So the earth is moving in thesolar system, which is moving in
the galaxy which is zippingthrough space.
So you have to be able to getto the destination of the space
(24:09):
time, of where the earth was atthat point yeah, but I the let's
say the wormhole figures allthat out all right, yeah, we got
ai, we could just yeah, Ithought.
Victor (24:19):
I thought you meant like getting around, because like I
don't have a horse and if Isteal a horse they're gonna try
to kill me yeah, you gotta learnhow to ride a horse.
Rob (24:26):
I gotta learn how to ride a horse, I can't just I can't
just uber to rome like yo.
Victor (24:32):
Uh, which way you going?
I have this app?
Uh, it's not.
I got no service here.
How do I get?
I don't know yeah.
Cesar (24:39):
You ever, guys, heard of the comedian Nate?
What's his last name?
Nate Borgarsi.
He's like time travel.
Even if I were to go back, theywould ask me questions.
He'd be like all right, so thephone, what is it?
What is this thing?
How does it work?
Rob (24:55):
I don't really know how it works, all right, yeah, we don't
know anything.
Yeah, we don't know.
They're like all right, great,you can create this gun for us,
right?
Cesar (25:03):
I'm like no, I don't know how that works.
I can order it you guys got acomputer.
Chris (25:09):
I'm learning how to do.
Rob (25:11):
She-Rock.
Right now I'm learning how todo She-Rock.
Victor (25:15):
Where's your closest Home Depot?
Rob (25:18):
Yeah, you just go to the Lowe's.
It's aisle 14.
Grab what you need.
How doers get more done?
Chris (25:25):
What do you guys think?
Rob (25:26):
Final thoughts Rob I think time travel is possible.
I don't think we'll get there.
And even if I did, what would Igo back?
For If I went back and changedit, I probably wouldn't even
exist.
So I probably wouldn't evenexist.
Victor (25:38):
So I'm never going to see it, victor, I think I wish
time travel was possible, then Ican go back and undo this
episode.
Cesar (25:47):
I knew that was coming.
I knew that was coming.
Rob (25:49):
I'd have you pick healthcare again.
Victor (25:51):
I don't know if it's possible.
I don't know if it ever will bepossible.
I know I will probably never.
I won't around to I understandit or to see anything like it
happen.
I just want to like go hang outin space and then come back
real quick, like that's you cando that.
Now, though you got 200 000 ohyeah, you got all that fucking
money.
No, I want it like a commercialfight.
(26:12):
I want to like book it throughmy fucking chase preferred like
hey, do you want to go to thefucking resort on the fucking?
Rob (26:18):
moon.
You'll never do.
I'll tell you why.
Blackout dates yeah, it justwould never work for you it
would never need a lot of points.
Victor (26:25):
I understand that I just have to eat out every day.
Triple the points.
But yeah, time travel cool.
Cesar (26:31):
Look into it, caesar this is the theoretical, and maybe
in the future they'll probablyfigure it out.
At this.
I don't know if we can go backin time.
We could probably go forward intime.
Yeah, interesting stuff.
Chris (26:44):
Even if time travel is impossible today, it's a concept
that keeps us dreaming aboutthe future and the past, and
keep your eyes on the future.

Cesar (27:15):
Peace.
Chris (27:15):
Later.
Victor (27:25):
Time travel what?
All right, chris.
What are you doing?
Let's do this.
We still have our time machineright, we have the time.
Yes.
Chris (00:04):
Okay, where are you taking us?
No, we're not going to goanywhere, but I just want to.
Good, because it's still in theshop.
Yes, Okay, good good, we wantto talk about it.
Victor (00:17):
No, we can't give away our secrets about time travel.
No, we're not going to give oursticker away.
Rob (00:29):
Okay, good, I'll be honest with you, I don't really know
how it works.
I kind of just press buttonsand then it takes us back in
time.
Chris (00:33):
I don't even think we have the manual.
I think we lost that.
Well, grab your flux capacitorand hold on tight.
I'm not dumb, but is timetravel possible?
Cesar (00:40):
Welcome to the I'm not dumb, but podcast, where we
won't claim to have the answersto life's deepest questions but
we'll give you an excitingjourney into the realms of
knowledge you never knew you'dneed Might be mainstream, but
not common knowledge.
From artificial intelligence toconspiracy theories, no topic
is too taboo for us to explore.
Let's get curious together.
Chris (01:00):
I'm your host, chris, and today I'm joined by Rob.
Hello, cesar, yo and Victor.
How y'all?
Victor (01:06):
doing what's up, chris?
Cesar (01:09):
Chris.
Back to the Future is one of myfavorite movies.
It's a great film.
Chris (01:19):
Trilogy Hello, hello, anybody home?
There's a lot of time travelmovies.
We all seen in the movies likeBack to the Future, like you
just said, or the shows likeDoctor who, but the big question
is can it actually happen,though?
Do you guys know anything abouttime travel?
Rob (01:31):
Well, we're traveling through time right now.
Cesar (01:33):
Yeah, no yeah.
Rob (01:34):
We are always traveling through time, you know the one
thing we never share is when wetime travel in our episodes.
The listeners don't know this,but we actually have to time
travel back to present day, andthat's actually the worst part.
Cesar (01:46):
Because we've gone back to different timelines.
Rob (01:48):
Because we've gone back and then coming back is always a
problem.
You have to kill the other guy.
If you overshoot it a littlebit, like it's just, it's never
clean.
That's why we don't use it toomuch.
Yeah, that, and gas prices arecrazy.
I mean in this economy.
Chris (02:02):
So what exactly is time travel?
Moving through time, movingbetween different points in time
?
Fun fact in late 1800s HG Wellshe was an English writer
popularized the idea of timetraveling in his book called the
Time Machine.
Yeah, raymond, yeo you knowabout this.
Victor (02:23):
I've seen the movie.
Yeah, what's?
Cesar (02:25):
his name.
What's the main character inthat movie?
Is it Guy Pearce?
Victor (02:29):
Guy, something that is the actor that played the time
travel man.
Chris (02:33):
Wait, the movie is based on the book.
Yes, I didn't know that.
Rob (02:38):
I think it has the same title.
Chris (02:41):
I know, but I didn't know it was a relay.
Victor (02:42):
I didn't connect the two dots together.
Cesar (02:44):
Okay, he's an idiot Comes from upbringing.
Parents are probably idiots too.
Chris (02:50):
Since then, the time travel has been everywhere in
pop culture movies, books and TVshows.
Victor (02:56):
Yeah, but like they have to have thought of time travel
before that, they probablydidn't popularize it like he did
, no, but I mean, I'm sure itwas on people's minds like, hey,
I wish I can go back and notget, of course not let that guy
get kicked by that horse, or,you know, let not let that army
invade carthage or whateverancient people think about.
Cesar (03:15):
People weren't just like, oh, machinery, time travel,
like it must have been thoughtabout before, or not probably
probably ancient cultures, likethinking about the times, like
that the gods were amongst them,trying to go back to them you
have chronos.
Victor (03:30):
What's that I?
Chris (03:31):
was gonna say wait what's that?
Victor (03:32):
that's the greek god of time oh, really so.
Rob (03:38):
Does greek mythology have any cool time travel?
Is that the god of war?
Victor (03:42):
that's kratos rob, you've played god of war.
Did you have to fight chronos?
Rob (03:47):
uh, not in the first one.
Oh, he was a titan, he wasn't agod.
Oh, I'm sorry, make sure youget it right.
Make sure you get it right yeah, let's rewind chronos the titan
.
Chris (04:00):
Back in 1905, albert Einstein.
So he introduced a theory ofspatial relativity.
Einstein suggests that timeisn't the same everywhere, it's
relative.
But what does?
Rob (04:12):
that actually mean.
Everyone knows the theory ofrelativity, Everyone knows E
equals MC squared right.
But what does that mean?
Chris (04:21):
So if you travel close to the speed of light, time for
you would slow down compared tosomeone who's standing still, so
in a way you could travelforward in time.
Does that make sense?
Victor (04:35):
No, Can I give it a shot , Chris?
Imagine space was a piece offabric, a tablecloth if you will
, and you had a ball pushingdown into that tablecloth.
Time there is relative to thecloth being pushed down.
Cesar (04:55):
Because of the gravitational force that that
ball is placing on that area.
Victor (05:00):
And if you move away from that gravity, time is
relative to where you are, soit's different from where you
are on this ball.
So, for instance, our GPSsatellites are out in space.
Their clocks are setdifferently to ours because
they're experiencing timedifferently than we are on Earth
.
So how would I go backwardsthough?
(05:22):
So, according to Star Trek, youjust have to circle the sun
really fast.
Chris (05:28):
Engage, and then you go back in time.
Victor (05:30):
Superman did it differently.
Superman just started flying inreverse.
Cesar (05:36):
And just reversed the planet.
Victor (05:38):
Reversed the planet.
That's how he did it.
Cesar (05:40):
Wait, he flew backwards, or flew in reverse backwards,
Flew counterclockwise to thewell, counter rotations to the
Earth.
So he literally made the Earthgo back.
Rob (05:50):
Yeah, that makes sense, that makes sense.
Victor (05:53):
I don't think that's how it works.
Chris (05:54):
No, yeah.
Rob (05:55):
It doesn't work like that.
Chris (05:57):
With that theory.
There were scientists whotested this with atomic clocks.
They're extremely accuratetypes of clock, pretty much.
Victor (06:04):
That's such a bad idea.
That's such a bad, isn't thatwhat it is?
Yeah, but that didn't explainwhat it was.
Describe it to those that don'tknow.
Okay, so you know how mostwatches are quartz, right, right
, yeah, so it's basicallysending a small Mine's diamond,
but I understand what you'resaying.
Cesar (06:21):
You also have a great health insurance.
Rob (06:23):
It's made of diamonds.
Can't go wrong with diamonds.
Victor (06:26):
So it sends a small electric charge through the
quartz, vibrating it at acertain frequency, which
therefore keeps the clock inplace, clicking at the same
exact speed.
An atomic clock does the sameexact thing, except it uses
cesium or rubidium.
Chris (06:44):
Hmm.
Victor (06:45):
Wow, think about old school clocks, right?
Pocket watches, pocket watchesyeah, you had to constantly
crank them for them to keep thetime that's what quartz took
place of.
So instead of you cranking them, they just said, hey, we're
going to put a battery in there,run it through this little
piece of thing and its frequencyis going to keep cranking it,
so it keeps working.
(07:05):
Oh wow, the atomic clock.
Basically.
They were like this is way moreaccurate.
We're going to put this pieceof cesium or rubidium in there
and it's just going to keep it.
Gps works the same way.
Gps is basically the hand thatcranks your clock.
Rob (07:18):
We went to the same high school.
At what point did you learnthis I?
What point?
Victor (07:22):
did you learn this?
I know I learned this from themilitary, oh all right.
Should have went to themilitary bro.
Chris (07:26):
Should have joined the military.
Thanks for that, victor.
So they sent one on a plane,while the other stayed on the
ground.
Do you want to guess whathappened?
They fell in love.
Yeah yeah, not quite a bit, butthe clock on the plane ticked
slower.
That's to prove that timechanged with speed right.
So they actually tested thetheory and it actually worked.
So if you want to travel intothe future, all you need is a
(07:50):
way to get close to speed oflight.
That said, the only person Iknow who can do that is Flash.
I don't know anyone else whocan do that, superman.
Rob (07:59):
Superman can go the speed of light.
Victor (08:01):
They race each other constantly, so who wins?
Yeah, that's a good question.
Cesar (08:06):
Hello no.
Chris (08:07):
So let's talk about traveling backwards.
So one theory that gets a lotof attention is a wormhole.
These are like shortcutsthrough space-time connecting
two distant points in time.
Shortest distance between twopoints A straight line Wrong.
Shortest distance between twopoints is zero Sounds Wrong.
Shortest distance between twopoints is zero Sounds cool, but
(08:28):
we don't know if they exist.
No wormholes has been found,and even if one did pop up, we
might not be able to use it.
Cesar (08:37):
If you're going to travel through this thing you're going
to have the coordinates on theother side.
And did Einstein come up withwormhole theory or no?
Because if it did, a lot of thestuff, a lot of the theories
that he's come up with are beingfound to be true now.
So if there's things, if he's,if he talked about it, right, we
just haven't had theopportunity to find out, but
(08:58):
there it's probably legit.
The same thing with the theoryof relativity.
Chris (09:02):
The same thing with a whole bunch other theories he
came up with the reason that whywe can't use it, because the
wormholes are unstable and wouldrequire exotic matter to keep
them open, which we haven'tdiscovered, and they also likely
too small for travel and couldcause time paradoxes.
Rob (09:19):
So you're saying that there's something happening
where time is happening slowerand then I'm moving at a faster
rate, right?
So now I have two differenttypes of time, but the wormhole
will allow me to go to thisdestination quickly, so
technically I'll be able to jumpthat and then be back in the
(09:39):
past.
I don't get that.
Cesar (09:41):
Is it actually the past or is it just a different
location?
That's my thing.
It would be in the past, but itjust a different um location in
in, and that's my thing.
Rob (09:46):
It would just be.
It would be in the past, butit'd be at a different location,
which wouldn't help.
Victor (09:50):
I need to go back what are you looking for in the past?
Love, we're all looking forlove.
Rob (09:56):
Just fix all the things I did in my 20s.
Chris (10:01):
He's gonna fix that too.
We need to go back.
The wormholes are like just oneof the theories that is out
there, and I think this is morepopular one just because you
know we see wormholes in themovies, right, I think you see
that more often than othertheories or they create a
wormhole right yeah, right withexotic matter coming to the
(10:21):
stage exotic matter.
Cesar (10:23):
20s only, please.
So we've never, we've neverseen a wormhole Coming to the
stage Exotic matter.
Rob (10:26):
20s only, please.
So we've never seen a wormhole?
No, and we don't know how touse it.
Nope, we just have this idea.
Victor (10:33):
Fun fact for you, there are no evidence that wormholes
exist in our world None.
However, they're oftendescribed in solutions to
important physics equations.
Fucking math is weird, dude.
How hard is it to go the speedof light?
Supposedly impossible.
(10:53):
You cannot go to the speed oflight and why is that?
Cesar (10:56):
It's basically one of these laws that kind of allows
the universe to exist, breakingthat down, well then, kind of
just destroys everything, butyou can get to 99.99% of the
speed of light.
Victor (11:11):
Is that Mach 1?
Rob (11:12):
No, that's sound, that's sound right.
Victor (11:14):
Mach 1 is sound.
Rob (11:16):
Don't they go like Mach 10?
Victor (11:17):
Yeah, but that's on Earth, right.
So that's like a pain in theass, because now whatever you're
creating is fighting air.
Oh, right, right.
So the fastest man-made objectever Was the Black.
Rob (11:29):
Knight satellite.
Victor (11:47):
That's good.
It's fastest man-made objectever was the black knight
satellite.
The truth is out there,reaching speeds of 394 736 miles
an hour.
This is nearly 400 times fasterthan a fighter jet and 500
times faster than the speed ofsound.
Is the nasa's parker solarprobe?
Cesar (11:56):
huh, give it up to parker solar probe is that the one
that's recently doing the flybysthe the sun?
Yeah, that's crazy how they wow, they're doing that dang.
Chris (12:09):
So what aboutes?
Have you guys heard aboutgrandfather paradox?
Cesar knows all about it.
Go ahead, Chris.
If you travel back in time andaccidentally prevent your
grandfather from meeting yourgrandmother, would you still be
born?
Some scientists believe theseparadoxes would be impossible
because the data mess with thelaw of physics.
Others think that time couldfix itself If you did something
(12:33):
to mess up the Others think thattime could fix itself If you
did something to mess up thepast.
The universe would just correctitself.
No one knows, but it's just funto think about.
Cesar (12:41):
So in your research, did the idea of the multiverse come
into play and like, if you'regoing to time travel either
forward or backwards, you're notgoing into your own travel,
either forward or backwards,you're not going into your own.
Yeah, the grandfather paradoxmight not work or might not
exist if you time travel into adifferent universe.
Yeah, realistically, all thisshit is theoretical, right?
One of the theories I heard isthat time is like this the past,
(13:02):
present and future areliterally all happening right
now simultaneously.
So what has happened willhappen, or it has already
happened.
Victor (13:10):
This timeline sucks, then I've crossed into your dark
timeline.
Chris (13:14):
Let's talk about pop cultures.
So, from Back to the Futures toDoctor who, time travel has
captured our imaginations.
One of the most iconic timemachine is the DeLorean.
Yes, the DeLorean, of course.
Cesar (13:29):
The phone booth, bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Or the hot tub, hot tub.
That's a good one too.
Rob (13:34):
Hot tubs are great time machines.
Chris (13:39):
It must be some kind of hot tub time machine.
Just want to say that back inthe future, where the doctor was
a Dr Brown and Marty McFlyshows us how dangerous of
meddling with time.
Victor (13:51):
They tried to fix them right in the in the movie.
It depends which uh movie you'retalking about, because only the
second one was the one thatthey were really trying to fix
time.
The first one, if you remembercorrectly which I don't think
you did, obviously.
Uh, he gets trapped, he getsaccidentally sent back in time
and gets stuck there.
He has to, um, find a youngerdoc brown, convince him that he
(14:15):
created a time machine in thefuture, and then wait for a
certain weather event to happento possibly be sent back to the
future, because you need 1.21gigawatts.
Chris (14:26):
Go.
Cesar (14:30):
Johnny Go go, go.
Victor (14:32):
So in the first one he was just trying to lay low, find
Doc Brown and get back to hispresent time and then ended up
bumping into things and messingthings up, but he ended up
fixing things Like he made hisfuture life a lot better than
his past life.
Cesar (14:48):
You know what I always wondered?
Let's say, you make a decisionnow, right, and you had another
decision to make.
If you can look at the timeline, you need the time stone.
Like you could see that as itprogresses like, huh, oh, that
would have.
Okay, that would have sucked.
Oh damn it, I missed anopportunity.
Victor (15:05):
It's like that Nicolas Cage movie Next, where he could
see a minute into the future,and so he would change things
depending on what his outcomewas.
Interesting, for instance, likegambling.
He would go and gamble and he'dsee what it rolled to or what
the number hit, so then he'd goback and then he could, uh,
change that never heard of it so, like the movies like the
(15:26):
terminator, it's another goodone donnie darko and, uh, bill
and ted's excellent adventureyeah, that's another good one.
Chris (15:30):
Donnie Darko and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure yeah,
that's another good one.
Do you guys know any of themovies that comes to your mind?
There's Primer Primer.
Victor (15:39):
What's that one?
Cesar (15:39):
What's that one about?
Victor (15:40):
It's about these guys that discover time travel and
then they use it to try to beton stocks and then a bunch of
weird stuff happens.
Hot Tub Time Machine that's agood one.
Rob (15:48):
Yeah, hot Tub Time Machine, that's a good one, yeah, a
great one.
Victor (15:49):
Source Code oh, that one's a good one too.
Rob (15:51):
Oh yeah, source Code yeah.
Victor (15:53):
There's Looper I haven't seen that one there's About.
Rob (15:56):
Time.
What's the one with Tom Cruiseand the aliens?
Edge of Tomorrow, edge ofTomorrow.
That's a great one.
Cesar (16:03):
Ooh, that's a great one.
That's a on Netflix.
It's a series.
It's fucking weird.
I think it's either Dutch orsomething like that, but it's
called Dark.
Victor (16:15):
There's Tenet X-Men Days of Future Past.
Rob (16:19):
One that I like is the one with Loki and the Time Variance
Authority, and they have all thethreads of different times, and
then they do a good job withthe time there.
Cesar (16:29):
Umbrella Academy.
They had a little time travel.
Rob (16:31):
That's time travel?
Yes, oh, yeah it does, thatdoes.
Chris (16:35):
So it's popular, man Right.
What about shows besides Doctorwho?
Do you guys watch Doctor who?
No, but I heard it's great.
No, I have you guys.
Never.
I've seen the newest one.
Which doctor?
The black dude.
Victor (16:50):
Nope, I stopped after David Tennant.
That was probably the bestdoctor.
Rob (16:54):
So what is he?
He goes back in time in thephone booth.
Victor (16:57):
Yes, the TARDIS.
Yeah, it's not a phone booth,it's a TARDIS, technically a
police box.
Rob (17:02):
It's red.
It looks like a phone boothright.
No, it's blue.
Chris (17:06):
Oh, it's blue it's blue, it's a police box.
Victor (17:14):
It's not a phone bill, so why did you go back in time?
A lot of stuff like everythinghappens because time is.
Rob (17:18):
It's more like a big ball of wibbly, wobbly, timey wimey
stuff it is very interestingshow.
Cesar (17:22):
It's very uh creative yeah now, if you can go back in
time, I will go back.
Rob (17:27):
Crypto, baby crypto, crypto bitcoins we wouldn't even have
to go back that far yeah.
Victor (17:33):
No, you got to go 2008, fucking just buy yeah just buy a
ton of everything bitcoin forlike a fraction of a cent and
then wait till 2025 I want tohear what you guys think about
time travel, like like.
Chris (17:45):
How you guys feel about it.
Victor (17:46):
I guess it is possible, right?
We're constantly moving forwardin time and you can go to the
future.
I am not a mathematician, so Idon't know if we can go back in
time.
And if we could, how would weknow what if they already went
back in time and changed whatthey were supposed to change?
Cesar (18:02):
The whole concept of it is kind of like because, like I
watch all these theoreticalphysicists and stuff and talk
about the universe, all laws ofthe universe and stuff, all that
stuff is trippy.
I don't know.
If you travel back in time,it's like me going back to
yesterday.
I don't know if that's possible.
Right, can't fathom it.
I maybe travel forward in time,traveling the speed of light.
(18:24):
Maybe I could see thathappening, but traveling back to
a specific point in time Idon't know.
Victor (18:32):
I don't know if I want to travel forward in time,
though it seems that the world'sjust getting shittier and
shittier so I don't thinkthere's anything good in the
future, to be honest, no, thefuture is great man.
Rob (18:43):
The future is always better , okay, even though you look
back and you're like, oh, thepast was bad.
We had a lot of like.
You had like slavery you hadlike a lot of disease.
Not that far back, yeah, butyou know, the future is always
better.
You can always change thefuture, you know.
You just gotta do the hard worknow.
I have hope there was somethingthat always like interested me,
(19:06):
or this theory of, like, um,the quantum field theory.
Right, you guys heard aboutthat.
Yeah, can't say it comes up inmy regular day-to-day that often
no, but it was like they had avacuum right, and a vacuum is
supposed to have nothing in it.
Let's say, this idea is thatthere's fluctuations in a vacuum
, there's actually movement in avacuum and it's just that these
particles pop in and outconstantly, but they don't know
(19:29):
where they come from and theydon't know where they go, and
they happen at such a scale thatcan't really even see it at a
large scale.
But one of these theories thatI always thought about, and it
kind of stuck with me, is thatthings pop in and out from
different timelines.
They would pop in and pop out.
I think it kind of ties intothe past, present, future always
happening at the same time.
Basically, there's thisconstant buzzing, even in a
(19:51):
vacuum, I mean.
So if that was the case, likelike there's different versions
of yourself happening, like theone with jet lee, which is great
, right, right, right yeah, yeah.
But like, how do you go intothose other areas?
Like the universe is trippy,man, the universe is trippy when
you really think about it.
Victor (20:06):
You probably don't want to well, all I know is that
caesar's calves are small inmost of those universes forget
you.
Rob (20:16):
I don't know, if there's one, it's like finally makes it
to another timeline.
He's like are you serious?
Victor (20:22):
he's gonna.
He has to kill his alternateversions for his calves to grow
bigger but they would never beaesthetically bigger.
Cesar (20:34):
He would just be super strong.
I'm hoping in one of thesetimelines just one, they're a
decent size.
You're on a cycle and you'rejust like jacked.
They're like normal.
Victor (20:43):
Just normal and even in that world where he's like huge,
he's the smallest person there.
Cesar (20:48):
Yeah, Nobody's bitch.
Rob (20:54):
You are mine, is it?
The universe is too weird.
I mean if, if the idea of spacetime is true.
I mean, we already know thattime is tied into gravity, and
we do it now with our satellites, so we know that there's
fluctuations in time.
I just don't know how we would.
I don't know how we would useit, like you know.
How do you even do that?
I was looking up E equals MC,squared right, so this is what
(21:15):
it means.
This is why it's impossible.
The speed of light, so E isenergy, or reaching the speed of
light, reaching, reaching 100%the speed of light.
Victor (21:23):
The speed of light is possible because that's how
light travels.
Rob (21:27):
Yeah, yeah, but so this is how.
This is what it means, right?
So E is energy, and then equalsM, which is mass, and then C is
the speed of light squared.
So any mass that travels thespeed of light would essentially
turn into energy.
That's why light, which is pureenergy, travels that fast.
(21:47):
But the problem is is youapparently need a ridiculous
amount of energy to move massthat fast, and we do not have it
, because I guess, as masstravels fast, it takes more and
more and more and more energy tomove it even faster, and that
amount of energy is impossiblewith our technology.
Cesar (22:09):
Give me a couple of monsters, I'll travel with the
speed of light.
Chris (22:12):
Yeah, this is what I think.
If time travel was real, wewould have some kind of sort of
like proof by now, right?
Victor (22:22):
No, we're fucking idiots , no one was coming back now.
Anything.
Rob (22:27):
Anyone who can go back in time is going to skip this
period.
Cesar (22:30):
The thing is, you wouldn't know, chris, if someone
comes back in time and changessomething, that timeline
automatically changes.
Chris (22:38):
So you wouldn't know if someone came in, unless they
told you I don't know Writingnotes anything.
They tried this already.
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
They tried this.
Victor (22:47):
You ever hear of the time traveler party.
You have a party, how?
Rob (22:51):
does it end?
Victor (22:52):
And then you post about the party in the future, and so
whoever shows up to your partyis a time traveler.
Chris (22:59):
Yes, I heard about that.
Yes, because there's no waythey would have known about it,
wasn't that in?
Victor (23:02):
HG Wells' book.
I don't know, I didn't read it,you didn't read it, I didn't
read, I don't read yeah, theyhad a party where they had a
table.
So much research on the timethat you're going to, because
you'd probably stick out like asore thumb If you just threw me
(23:25):
in.
Like ancient Rome.
I don't speak Latin.
Like, what am I doing there?
I don't even know the customs.
I probably don't have the whitewardrobe, the hardest part.
Rob (23:34):
I think about time travel.
Let's say we Fighting the apes.
Chris (23:41):
Oh, okay, sorry, no part.
I think about time travel,let's say.
Let's say we fighting the apes.
Oh okay, sorry, no the apes.
Rob (23:46):
We figured something out with the apes take your sticking
paws off me.
You damn dirty ape you gottapinpoint where the earth was in
space time.
So the earth is moving in thesolar system, which is moving in
the galaxy which is zippingthrough space.
So you have to be able to getto the destination of the space
(24:09):
time, of where the earth was atthat point yeah, but I the let's
say the wormhole figures allthat out all right, yeah, we got
ai, we could just yeah, Ithought.
Victor (24:19):
I thought you meant like getting around, because like I
don't have a horse and if Isteal a horse they're gonna try
to kill me yeah, you gotta learnhow to ride a horse.
Rob (24:26):
I gotta learn how to ride a horse, I can't just I can't
just uber to rome like yo.
Victor (24:32):
Uh, which way you going?
I have this app?
Uh, it's not.
I got no service here.
How do I get?
I don't know yeah.
Cesar (24:39):
You ever, guys, heard of the comedian Nate?
What's his last name?
Nate Borgarsi.
He's like time travel.
Even if I were to go back, theywould ask me questions.
He'd be like all right, so thephone, what is it?
What is this thing?
How does it work?
Rob (24:55):
I don't really know how it works, all right, yeah, we don't
know anything.
Yeah, we don't know.
They're like all right, great,you can create this gun for us,
right?
Cesar (25:03):
I'm like no, I don't know how that works.
I can order it you guys got acomputer.
Chris (25:09):
I'm learning how to do.
Rob (25:11):
She-Rock.
Right now I'm learning how todo She-Rock.
Victor (25:15):
Where's your closest Home Depot?
Rob (25:18):
Yeah, you just go to the Lowe's.
It's aisle 14.
Grab what you need.
How doers get more done?
Chris (25:25):
What do you guys think?
Rob (25:26):
Final thoughts Rob I think time travel is possible.
I don't think we'll get there.
And even if I did, what would Igo back?
For If I went back and changedit, I probably wouldn't even
exist.
So I probably wouldn't evenexist.
Victor (25:38):
So I'm never going to see it, victor, I think I wish
time travel was possible, then Ican go back and undo this
episode.
Cesar (25:47):
I knew that was coming.
I knew that was coming.
Rob (25:49):
I'd have you pick healthcare again.
Victor (25:51):
I don't know if it's possible.
I don't know if it ever will bepossible.
I know I will probably never.
I won't around to I understandit or to see anything like it
happen.
I just want to like go hang outin space and then come back
real quick, like that's you cando that.
Now, though you got 200 000 ohyeah, you got all that fucking
money.
No, I want it like a commercialfight.
(26:12):
I want to like book it throughmy fucking chase preferred like
hey, do you want to go to thefucking resort on the fucking?
Rob (26:18):
moon.
You'll never do.
I'll tell you why.
Blackout dates yeah, it justwould never work for you it
would never need a lot of points.
Victor (26:25):
I understand that I just have to eat out every day.
Triple the points.
But yeah, time travel cool.
Cesar (26:31):
Look into it, caesar this is the theoretical, and maybe
in the future they'll probablyfigure it out.
At this.
I don't know if we can go backin time.
We could probably go forward intime.
Yeah, interesting stuff.
Chris (26:44):
Even if time travel is impossible today, it's a concept
that keeps us dreaming aboutthe future and the past, and
keep your eyes on the future.
