Take Back Your Time!

    Time is an abstract concept. It cannot be taken back.

    Also, time is linear.

    Also, time is not the 4th dimension, unless you're watching Dr. Who.

      Actually time doesn't exist so it technically can't be linear. There is only energy as it is observered as motion and space in which the motion takes place. Time is nothing an aid to help us grasp the more fundemental concepts of motion and acceleration. Without time the human mind is simply unable to grasp the concepts. It's foolish to think our primitive H brains can store or grasp the secrets of the universe.

      Btw, newtonian physics doesn't have a problem with going backwards or forwards in time. The equations work just as well with a -t value in them as a t value. The only reason we don't accept both is because the idea of throwing/catching a baseball backward through time is beyond our abilities.

      most of us won't be able to afford it.

    Try taking back your time in Columbus OH. You will discover very little to do that doesn't cost money as some form of paid entertainment. Can't just go to the beach -- unless you count driving 2 hrs to lake erie... mmm brown water!
