Speaker 1 (00:00):
One on six point seven LIGHTFM, Covey and Christine in
(00:02):
the morning producer Kristen the conversations we have off the air,
sometimes we have to take these conversations on the air,
and we were talking about something very deep.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We were getting pretty deep in here because you asked
chat GPT, will time travel ever be possible? Right?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Right? And what got me thinking was your cool thing
you did, Producer Christen about fifteen minutes ago. You can
go to Google Earth now, go to street view and
go back in time and look at like, go back
twenty years and see what like your childhood house look like.
It's really cool. But yeah, I asked chat GPT, can
you go back in time? It gave me a long answer,
(00:38):
I mean, but it was very interesting. It said time
travel to the past is theoretically possible, but not practical.
Some ideas exist in advance physics, like something called wormholes,
shortcuts and space time that could connect different times. There's
cosmic strings or rotating universes. Einstein back in the day
(01:02):
said that there's a theory that you could possibly go
back in time, but a lot of things have not
been completely finalized. But again I'm using chat GPT. I
gotta tell you, I didn't know about chat GPT six
months ago, and now I use it all the time,
and AI is coming on so strong. So that's what
got me thinking, like, are we at a point now
where're like ten years away from hitting a button and
(01:23):
really going back in time. Forget the DeLorean jokes and
the Back to the Future jokes. I mean, that's a
great movie and all, but I seriously think that we're.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Darn close that someday it could happen.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, And here's my question. If you could go back
in time, say I want to go back to July
twenty second, nineteen ninety. I'm nineteen years old and I'm
working in radio for the first time. Is everybody in
like the radio station I'm at? Are they there right now?
But I have to hit a button and go back
and join them again.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
That's the feeling I get.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
That's inn Einstein' sy or something like that.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
That's the reality you step into that time is circular
rather than linear.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
So this is this is why we're getting deep.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, this is why our heads are exploding.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
In your thoughts, like in that mind boggling like.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
It's crazy to think about My head hurts thinking about
it actually, but it's true. Like, and what were to
happen if you if you did hit a button, you
did go back in time. Is there something you would change?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
That's a whole nother that's aggy because we were talking
about high school, right, because there's such key developmental years. Right,
So if you could go back to high school knowing
what you know now, uh huh, what would you change?
Just for yourself? What would you change?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I feel like back then, I would say, Man, I'm
going to change so many things when I get older,
But now I'm so happy with the way things have
turned out. I would probably not touch anything.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
You'd leave like fifteen year old cubby alone, right, just
let him do his thing.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I mean, she'll get me wrong. There's always the lottery
numbers and stuff like that. Well, but that's a whole
other story.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Right back to the future.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
That would change your trajectory?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
What about you, Christine? Like if you went back to nineteen,
let's say eighty five. Yeah, and you could change a
couple of things that you know would affect the outcome
of long term Yes, would you mess with it?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yes? You would, yeah, because it would be inner work. Again, Like,
I know what I know now kind of thing. So
if I could go back, I would love to instill confidence. Confidence,
speak up for yourself, and I think things would have
opened up for me and changed for me in such
a big way because there were so many opportunities, and
there are so many opportunities in life. You have to
(03:29):
be ready, though, right so they present themselves. But if
you don't have the confidence, or you're really shy or insecure,
and you step away from it, then you lose that opportunity.
Now you wait for the next one, and I know
that life unfolds and you might believe like it's all
meant to be a certain way. But I think I
missed out because of that lack of confidence. So I
(03:50):
would I would try and work on that.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Good answer Christine Good, Yeah, all right, how.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Do I follow that? I know?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Goodness? I mean, I'm actually I don't know if you
want to call it celebrating, But I graduated twenty years
ago high school twenty years ago this year, so two
thousand and five, and I think that I have some
of my best friends are from high school, majority of
them and childhood as well, But there were certain people
I think I surrounded myself with that if I were
(04:20):
to go back, I would tell myself, let's leave them
there and not continue that friendship. And I think that
would have changed certain things. Not a lot, but you know,
as you get older, your friend group obviously shrinks. It
gets stronger, but your group does shrink. And I think
that I would tell myself to stay away from certain people.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
That's all.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Well, you got me thinking I would have enjoyed high
school more because in high school I was worried about
the future and worried about the next move. I never
enjoyed the moment in high school. I always worried about
the next thing, the next test, the next I just
I would go back and realize everything's going to be okay,
knowing where I am now, and try to enjoy the fun.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Can you do it now? How do you feel you
live more in the moment now?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I feel like in the last couple of years, ever
since I turned fifty, I give less. You know what's like?
There are certain things that used to like. I used
to worry about what people would say about me when
I left a room. Nah, I don't care anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You've got your kids, You've got I got different things.
You focus. I think, yeah, oh, man.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It's deep, deep, all right, give us a text if
you want to join in on this conversation. I'm still
fixated on is something happening in a certain era always
all the time? Yeah, Like, is there somebody in a
club dancing like a flapper in nineteen twenty five? But
is it happening right now? And I can hit a
button and go back to that. That that's what blows
my mind.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
It's six forty five. Am good for that?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah? Four four three six three, Give us a text.
