Quick dash post.

Since I'm covering a work shift for a friend tomorrow, I have to be brief.

Some of the most Ig Nobel research around - incorrect depiction of testicles on Greek statuary. Blame the Romans - they were never any good at copying.

Light could be a violation of relativity - which would explain the whole "particle/wave" thing, wouldn't it?

And, finally, was 1947 the year the Chronosphere went active? Or is that when all the Chrononauts like to screw around with? Who knows? If you want more sense, then go read my earlier post, if you want more non-sense, wait for my next post. If you're okay with things as they are, then perform the Turkey Curse to your nearest neighbour and get on with it!

What always puzzled me about time-traveling is if there will be time-travel, wouldn't we know it, because it already have-will be happened? I liked the approach on Star Trek DS9 (Voyager had it too, I'm not sure about TNG, but it might be... need to watch it again, or get my Star Trek encyclopedia from home); they had a time-travel police who tried to prevent all changes in history. Which isn't too easy.
The other thing is: if you change my past, I won't notice it. I mean if you change it, it's different, but I don't know it, since it's different. (I hate talking about this, language isn't made for it). Or this is why we have déja-vues (screw the crappy Matrix-explanation...)

See below - sort of. It's true that normally, if continuity is changed, the people don't notice it. What usually happens, though, is on a continuity change, someone from the unchanged universe if kicked into the changed universe. Thus, they do know that things have changed and need to get things back in order.

I groan at the pun, but acknowledge the correctness of the response.

Ever think about trying to get the B/Verse to go Chrononauts? Imagine what fun we'd have meeting future and past selves.

It suffers from the same problem as all the mirror universe ideas that periodically turn up. Namely, that the universe suffers from character front-loading as-is, let alone with multiple copies of everybody tossed in...

One could always play Anthem Apocalyptica at some point in the timeline to cut down on the character listing, and plot well in advance who would be interacting with whom. Of course, there's no guarantee anyone would take that future history as the true timeline...
