FJORD -VS- TIME (Fjord wins!)

More on temporal constructs (part three)

I know it’s been a bit since I’ve touched on this, but here’s a quick refresher. I was hoping to adopt a “time structure” to Fjord, where everyone would be on various places in time, at the same time. So, in other words, if Q-dog posted something at 5:00 Eastern Time, it would actually come before me posting something at 4:45 Pacific. (which would, as Blogger time works, put my post before Q-dog’s) However, looking into the whole “Time thing” I started finding various theories of time, and came across something shocking.

A mathematician named Kurt Godel figured it was conceivable to take a sufficiently long space trip, and end up at anytime in your own past. Godel figured – any kind of universe that can allow time travel, means that the past isn’t the past, since you can visit it whenever you want. In that case, time itself doesn’t really exist.

I called the boys down at the Fjordlab ™ and gave ‘em the theorems and equations, and the lazy bastards finally finished something I gave them to work on. They reached the same conclusion. We exist in a world where time just doesn’t really exist. So, I figured, what the hell point am I really trying to make? Fjordtime? Doesn’t, Didn’t, and Never Will exist. Sorry to drag you through this long, futile, and ultimately pointless discussion.

Happy Friday.
