Thanks Dave, LH and all for the comments !!<br><br>My grandfather and dad were both named George Bullmer. My dad was George Fred Bullmer so he wasn't really a...
Although the F/X were not as good back in the 60's<br>Rod Sterling did a bit on a guy with a watch, Dr. Who had several episodes on the same subject. Gene ...
Yes, I did mean in the perceptual concept. The person(s) could be hyper-accelerated in a ratio of up to billions to one. <br><br>My quandry is if you are ...
As I understand it, the speed of light is the top speed that can be achieved in the special and general theories of relativity. To go faster than the speed of ...
I tend to think of time as a real dimension in the multiverse and I think the Einsteinian twin paradox implies the same. Albeit time is relative to the ...
Einstein was proven to have made a miscalculation by the discovery of Tachyeons (which move faster than the speed of light.)<br>What is limited is our ...
Mmm, now I think we really are entering into the realm of science "fiction." Particles moving faster than the speed of light is not difficult to believe, but...
Time travel is theoretically possible via Lorenzian wormholes, though Steven Hawkings says that there is a law of the universe that prohibits time reversal. I...
So, what do we do as writers of science fiction/fantasy? I think the best solution is to imagine parallel universes that operate under different laws, perhaps ...
Time is not linear. Only our minds perception of events takes place in such a fashion.<br>An event (an action) which disturbs the space (molecules etc) around ...
Here we get into the realm of god. What existed before god and how did god exist?<br><br>Or you're saying the Big Bang is impossible.<br><br>If not. Then what...
I have pondered these questions over the years and have come up with a couple of insights. First, questions like this are rhetorical in nature. What is before...
It is my understanding that time is not linear because it is correlated with the spatial dimensions, due to the physical convergence factor of the speed of...
In many ways, our ordinary sensory-perception is always in the past if only by virtue of our status as observers, but also because perception takes time to...
I think Zen and ESP are about not thinking and not running things through our language module, if you will. When we perceive, we convert what we saw into...
I see where you are coming from and concur with you. One thing I want to make clear, however, is that even in an individual whose language centers had been ...
I agree with this idea. Even if the language is taken out. We still perceive things in the past. There is always a time lag. That's one of the real kickers of...
All of this is interesting but, how much of these theories would the average reader care about or grasp? Even if I understood all of the revelant concepts, ...
These days, audiences are getting very sophisticated about science, through their education and through shows like Nova and Discovery. I think that going into...
Your point is taken. Perhaps when I'm writing about something that is shall I say difficult, I might describe the events but not the hows or whys. I am ...
What I'm saying is that the perception of time is relevant to the observer.<br>If you travel through time your experience of say 1 days travel may span nth ...
That's it, you can also fit in a description at the same time you introduce the term so that it is easy for anyone to grasp the concept. Then, move on in the...
<<I'm not going to have too many false hopes of ever being published.>><br><br>Bullmer, don't be so down on yourself! Explaining how difficult ...
Thanks Scott, <br><br>I didn't say I would let the doubt stop me. In fact the opposite, if I understand the publishers will be very hard to impress, I will...
Fred, you are an inspiration to me. As one of the most active members of this club, you remind me that I want to write. I have written a 10 Chapter novella ...
I am a long way from that bridge myself. I wouldn't pretend to be able to give good advice. But as usual I will ask a few pertinent questions.<br><br>What were...
Hi Fred,<br><br> My target audience is the working people of the United States, college students, and peope who enjoy a little satire. Anyone who has worked in...
Keep me posted on your progress. It sounds interesting. <br><br>I will have to put you on my list of resources for biotech questions. The recent Nova specials ...
