Another possible time destination

I like this idea maybe we can have a realy good looking t-rex the exact same design as a t-rex and some lizards or mamoths for ice age could be event mob or something. :)

 

I believe we will see them new mobs when time travel start avaliable to players. I have no idea what kind weapons be avaliable or allow us to bring to other place?? we will wait and see.

 

As much as I want to support the idea, I also dont want to. Here's why:

Dinosaurs and other large lizardly beasts are great, terrifying monsters. But to be honest their story has been told. And told again. Planet Calypso tells us another version of their story, this time from a point of human and dinosaur coexistence on a young, alien planet.

To recreate the dinosaurs would in essence be recreating work that's already been done on the platform via planet Calypso. It likely would have limited crowd appeal, and would serve more to cause strife and competition between planet partners. It seems to me to not be cost effective.

Not only that, but from my point of view I'm hoping Next Island tells the human story, not the story of some beasts living in the far flung reaches of time. 10,000 BC tells the story of the dawn of mankind. Ancient Greece tells the story of our philosophical and theatrical foundations. The island itself tells the story of our quest for paradise, and the future time will talk about what our possibilities are. I see this world as a book of sorts, a human anthology of our existence and of human fantasies. Dinosaurs have no place in it, from that perspective.

 

Your right dinos - lizards will not fit in this story line i will wait to see how it all fits into place

 

Today Ancient Greece, tomorrow? If I was in the movies I might drive a Roman Chariot or kill a dinosaur. Maybe we should examine the time and place of movies and books to get some good ideas.

What would your next destination be?

 

dinosaurs are okay, but calypso already has those in the form of atrox and similar creatures. I do like the idea of 10,000 BCE, if it's done with some historical accuracy. I guess the usual implementation would be egypt, china, or mesopotania, athough there were some other civilizations staring out. in a fantasy vein, 10,000 BCE was the supposed destruction of atlantis which could be interesting.

 

Time travel doesn't mean we have to go back in time, why can't we go into the future. Maybe we should have a destination that is NI 1000 years from now. Will it be a Garden of Eden or a filthy hell hole? Maybe we should have both, a place to go relax, have a drink, take a swim, and a place to go kill anything that moves before the contamination turns us in zombie like creatures.

 

the future?

like the world of the morlocks and the eloi or the restuarant at the end of the universe?

 

A very interesting article from Coast Zone Newsletter by George Noory.

Time Travel:

On Monday's show, Physics Professor Ronald Mallett discussed his breakthrough research on time travel, which is based on Einstein's theories of relativity. "If we can control gravity with a device, then we can actually control time, as well, and that could lead to a machine," he said. The force of gravity is actually the bending of empty space, and the energy of light can create gravity, therefore light can potentially manipulate time, he explained.

Mallett's idea for a machine involves using a circulating light beam with a series of mirrors that can twist empty space. According to Einstein, if you bend space, then you bend time. "If I twist space, I can twist the line of time into a loop," connecting the past to the future, he said. When a person travels back to the past, they will have altered the past, so the future may not play out in the way the way it originally did. This is known as the 'Butterfly Effect' where some little thing leads to a chain of reactions that alters the future, he detailed.

A time machine could only travel as far back as when the machine was first turned on. So for instance, if a machine was invented this year, time travelers from 2030 could only travel as far back as 2011, he continued. One of the more practical and important uses for time travel would be to send information back in time, rather than a person-- like an early warning device for earthquakes or tsunamis that could save the lives of thousands of people, Mallett noted. He also touched on the time travel work of other scientists including Kip Thorne, who looks at using wormholes to create a path to the past, and Richard Gott, who theorizes about 'cosmic strings.'

 

Well, I'm quite sure if time travel ever worked, it would be used for more than just good and warnings of natural disasters. Very interesting concept though.

 

Well I'd wonder if establishing a link with a given future would be possible, if it turns out to be the case that any time a subatomic particle zoots this way or that, it hives off a new branching series of possible futures. I've been reading a book called "Hominids" by Robert J. Sawyer, where a scientific accident tosses a Neanderthal scientist into our culture from his parallel earth where Neanderthals won the evolutionary battle. They were doing quantum computing, calling upon the parallel processing of similar devices in all the different universes containing the same device, but when the machine pulled in universes where it had not been invented, it sucked a scientist into the Sudbury Neutrino detector, which had been built in the same place deep under massive rock deposits for the same reason, to avoid as much interfering radiation as possible.

It's not the best book I've read but I'm forging into the 2nd book, "Humans." But it has me thinking about timelines and tinkering with the timeline and the unintended consequences.

This is all moot of course, anyone who programs a time portal to a new game setting, it works because the game designers say it does, and you can return to a predictable possible universe in the past is perhaps more plausible (back on the branching tree of causality, but our branch) than a predictable and repeatable trip to one of infinite possible futures.

 

What about we create the nescessary basics for Next Island (and now also Greece as it lacks armor and bps down there to face the bigger beasts) and then I will personally support any new idea available as crazy as it may sound. :)

 

I think you're talking about time dilation. it's a relativistic effect originally described by einstein.

 

Noting, game...it doesn't have to be possible :)

 

of course not. where is the fun, if everything is real?

 

I like the thread and suggestion of all the members. Thanks for sharing this thread with me.
