No Time Travel, Sorry

MOBE2001 writes "The bad news is that time does not change. Spatial velocity is given as dx/dt. Velocity in time(dt/dt) is nonsensical. As simple as that. In other words, no time travel to the past or the future, no motion in space-time, no wormholes and no hanky-panky with your great, great grandmother. There is only the changing present, aka the NOW. The good news is that distance is an illusion and we'll be able to travel instantly from anywhere to anywhere."

    Alfred E. Neuman has been elected. Twice.

    He wasn't elected the first time, he was appointed, and it's doubtful he would have won the election the second time (if you can call winning by less than the margin for error winning) if he hadn't been the incumbent. Not to mention all the questionable incidents surrounding both elections. Can you say "rigged voting"? I knew you could.
