Subject: Re: Time travel/'who cares'/girls
" I'm more inclined to believe in cut-and-paste
semantics "
me too, otherwise there are two of you
and you are effectively cloned (which is a different
sci-fi movie altogether :)
" I'm more inclined to
believe in cut-and-paste semantics, but what about the
matter you displace when you appear and reappear?
"
disappearing, persumably you would leave a vacuum, which
probably wouldn't do any harm, might cause a sonic boom or
something though.
you then have the problem of
appearing, which could prove painful if there is something
solid where you appear!
" And if you stay at the
same point in space when you time-travel, how does the
motion of the planet affect things "
i had
thought of that before. presumably you'd have to choose
your new space/time coordinates /very/ carefully so
you get a supply of oxygen when you arrive
:)
" or whether we *truly* have free will. "
i
think that's an unanswerable. even if we work out that
we do have free will, we may be fooling ourselves,
as we were always destined to, etc...
" >
i have *almost* settled on the name 'who
cares'
That sounds terribly uninspiring to me ;-(
"
hmmm , maybe. i /will/ think of a good name for this
game!
" but are unlikely to want to play JSW to
completion. "
i /still/ haven't completed the original
JSW... even with cheats... actually i may be able to
attempt without cheats. has anyone here finished JSW
without any form of cheating or saving
whatsoever?
