Wondering about your options for building a time machine? According to Dr. Ronald Mallett, you actually do have some:
Inspired by the book, “The Time Machine” by H.G. Wells as a boy, Dr. Mallett has spent years thinking about the issues involved. I’d be shocked beyond measure if a working time machine was available at the local gadget store within our lifetime, but this speech gives some food for thought.
A second book also inspired the speaker: “The Universe of Dr. Einstein.” This book allowed the young man to realize that according to Einstein, time has some flexibility.
How To Build a Time Machine, According to Sneezl
Building from the principle that objects at high speeds experience time at a slower rate, here is a guide to building your own time machine:
- Build a machine that goes unbelievably fast
- While going unbelievably fast, do not die
- Slow down
- Join the future
Of course, there are critical problems with this plan, but if you really want a time machine…
(kids: talk to your parents before trying anything…)
How To Build a Time Machine, Option 2
This time machine won’t be as dramatic as the previous suggestion, but here goes:
- No matter where you are, be as high off the ground as possible:
- Sleeping? Choose the top bunk
- Apartment shopping? Choose the top floor
- Eating? Find a roof-top patio
- Not sure where to live? Move to Nepal
- As the Earth rotates, you will constantly be moving slightly faster than everyone at ground level.
- You will be experiencing time a little slower than everyone else.
If all goes well, you’ll add a second or two to your lifetime 🙂
