Where she’s going, she doesn’t need roads: Woman set to test home-made time machine this week | |
Shiva ascendant User ID: 61058815 United States 06/23/2015 11:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A woman who placed a classified advert asking for a companion to test out her time machine is set to make the first journey this week. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69565178 The time traveller - known only as Anna, from Exminster. posted an advert on Gumtree asking for someone to join her in trying out her home-made device. And after being “overwhelmed” by the amount of people who wanted to take part, she has chosen her Marty McFly and will attempt the journey on Friday. She revealed: “I have been overwhelmed by the number of replies to my ad for a time travel companion on Gumtree. “After sifting through thousands of replies I am pleased to say that I have found a suitable candidate. “We will be making our maiden voyage this Fri night at around 19:00. Wish us luck!” Luckily for those who might be slightly sceptical, the whole event will be live streamed over the Internet. Rob Hutt from Big Shiny Ideas, the company handling the coverage, remained tight-lipped about what to expect, saying that details needed to remain “confidential”. However, he warned that locals might expect some side-effects, adding: “The experiment will be taking place at an undisclosed location in Mid Devon and our client would like to apologise in advance for any interference to any of the local residents electricity supply.” Very mysterious. Of course, if time travel is possible then it’s already happened and she could have told us about it last week. In fact, she still could. Still, if there’s a Delorean involved we won’t be able to contain our excitement. You can watch the stream on Anna’s website, www.myrealtimemachine.com on Friday at 9pm. An earlier showing will be held at 7.30pm at the Walkabout, Exeter. #weird#news#time#machine [link to andyjwells.tumblr.com] This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but with a whimper. |
Coppercoal User ID: 46775477 United States 06/23/2015 11:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So is Gumtree the new Craigslist, and is this a viral marketing attempt? Or does this woman really think that she and a stranger from a want ad will travel through time (and space) and somehow come back with proof? (And she even said she's not sure if it will send them forward or backwards in time) Maybe this is a viral campaign for a new tv show or youtube series... But then again... what if it's all real... Think about it... :damnedbig: The big shots tried to hold it back; Fools tried to wish it away The hopeful depend on a world without end; Whatever the hopeless may say |

However, when our website received over 100,000 visitors from over 150 countries, and our story was picked up by some of the worlds largest media companies, (including BBC, Fox and Yahoo to name but a few) plus an approach from a major US radio station with a listenership of millions, we realised that you, the people, had a real passion and...

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30439876 the notion of time travel is very exciting though and I must admit i would probably willingly be suckered into putting some money in just on the off chance it worked. I just hope they know they are going to end up in outer space or embedded in some other part of the earth. because in order to time travel successfully you also need to be able to teleport yourself to a destination as well as time travel. how far do people think the earth has travelled in space or rotated 1/100000th of a second? its easy to distort time you just have to create a large enough magnetic field. |

Due to the visual involved I can't rationally comment on that. |
