logically it would take more time gas, maybe even exponentially, to go back further in time

So does the kid become the rainmaker or not

since joe doesnt kill his mom he doesnt become the rainmaker and thus joe lives and the kid becomes an autistitic train conductor

So I've got a question for you eggheads. Assuming a time machine did send you back to the same exact point in space say, 50 years ago, exactly how far would you be from the earth of 1965 after accounting for solar and galactic rotation as well as universal expansion?

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

Alright nobody else is fielding it so here goes: just ignoring the motion of the solar system around the galactic core (a mere 483,000 miles per hour) the motion of the Galaxy relative to CMB is about 1,300,000 miles per hour

Over 50 years thats a displacement of just 569.4 billion miles.

I feel like people miss that a central idea of the movie is that all sci-fi technologies suck and are worse. The fancy space guns, the hover bikes, the psychics, the glass telephones, all of them had multiple scenes about how useless and worse they were than just normal things, every high technology had multiple scenes of people standing around and being broken all the time. Like the time machine being stupid and not very useful wasn't a plot hole, it was the theme of the movie.

Wouldn't all the gold bars cause inflation if the mafia keep sending them back in time, I mean, the gold is already there, then they go back in time with the gold that is already there, but older, so now there is twice as much gold

I just think the mafia could have been more creative with how they used the time machine

send back all gold bars, and keep doing that poo poo on repeat

yes but much like matter, time is also affected by gravity, so the earth and our solar system, as it pass through time and the void of space, carries with it the echos of the past in its gravitational pull. travel to the past would be fine up to a certain point

Looper won my heart when they tried to discuss time paradoxes and bruce willis basically told everyone to shut the gently caress up and just watch the movie

also the scene with the guy disintegrating from his past-self having his parts amputated owned
