Start of random thoughts...

I thought to myself "I need a place to shove down my random thoughts" mainly because places like Twitter is limited to just a few hundred characters. Thoughts that come into my head really do have more content than that so this left me hunting for my first real blog...

Funny really, I've been using the web for 15 and half years now - September 2010 will be 16 years. That is some time looking at webpages. In the early days, I would say up to about 3-4 years ago, I used to have a webpage. A webpage I used to code by hand (I was brought up with having to type out your HTML) and had thoughts, images (lots of images) etc.. Funny thing is, lost all that content years ago when I last had an account with free webspace.

So now its images on facebook, yada yada yada. Sorry, i'm going off on one again - though that is partly why thought I would start to blog???

Yea, in those hay days, used to have random thoughts, had some tutorials on C/C++ coding, lots of pictures and thoughts. Lots of thoughts. I mean, things that go on in my head..

For example, about 10-11 years ago (before I moved from the coast to my current county location) I was chatting with a friend. We were talking about time travel in a more serious conceptional way... Things like is it possible, if so would you be able to do it in 100 years, etc.

Now my thoughts were like this. Current we thing of mapping time in 4th dimension. So to be able to map say time travel you would need to map an item in this dimension. However, this would mean you would only be able to map something for the life it has existed. So for example a tree that has existed for 2000 years then map this is ok for that time. However, something like say a watch may only be 10 years old.

Also this would mean that the time machine itself would only be able to go back for the life time it has been created? Now, possible ways around this maybe things like projecting a field from the object (such as a rock) around the machine sort of sharing its lifetime?

Now I can't see us having technology this advanced in 100 years but that said, who knows with how fast we are progressing technology wise?

See, this is what I mean by random thoughts. Started with hello and ending with time travel concepts hehe.
