Morgan Freeman and His Theory of Time

[publiusr]

I have often wondered just how fast planets, star systems can go:

Imagine how the universe seems to evolve before your eyes, as your whole spaceship "Earth" raally behaves like a spaceship. Time dilation on a planetary scale. A system wide scale.

You'd seed von Neuman probes, have them slow down and do their work over eons--and live to see it all unfold

You'd actually see the cosmos move, evolve, wouldn't you?

Then too, after many years your time--your own star system is the only source of light in the cosmos. Everything else had died or went out--and space is truly black.

Rather like that Voyager episode.

You have to go nearly warp one just to get to it.

A perfect idea of what Memory Alpha should have been.

A repository on a planet near a hypervelocity star.

An express ride to the future, and the past preserved.

Ships appear, dissappear in the wink of an eye.

Maybe Trek got it right after all--just differently

Indeed...

I have no idea what I said. I wasn't on drugs, so I must have been very tired.

I think you did fine, J, and what you were saying made perfect sense to me. I think we were just talking about two different aspects of the same thing...

You're probably right. Honestly, it's difficult for me to explain concepts like that, because in my brain they look like this:

And I have to pick out each individual idea and assemble it.
