Well i have recently viewed a video on youtube that shows that time travel could be possible, it could be a camera trick but i really doubt it. Its two people from Georges Science Club Uk (or they claim to be). Ive hared of that before and its a really big organisation in England there main focus is on physics. Ive seen one of there astronomy projects before and they pin pointed a star called Argon which only comes visual to earth once every 4500 years, i would really take these guys serious.

Heres the linkanyway, tell me what you think about it guys.

I think it's a joke. I mean, one of the tags is "funny", and it's listed under "entertainment".

I would ask Jane Bennett to make some fancy formulas up to explain that.

For me I have been brainwashed into believing that time travel is sillier then that movie portrays it.

Sincerely,


William McCormick

Big organisation? Care to Google “Georges Science Club”?

See, it’s just a made-up name. The whole thing, as Serpicojr says, is intended as a funny, entertaining joke.

And it's not even funny.

It should have been obvious at first that toppin is one of the two schmucks in the video, although to my defense I didn't actually watch the video until after I made my first post. And it's obvious that he's trying to create a viral video sensation. Too bad he's bound to fail, what with the fact that the video is devoid of any interesting content whatsoever.

Oh, and I hope you don't really talk like that, toppin.

I don’t think they are up to anything serious – it looks like all harmless entertainment to me. It’s not their fault if some people are naïve enough to take them seriously. As for their speech, it’s ridiculously exaggerated Yorkshire accent. I’d be most surprised if they really talked that way normally – I think the false accent is all part of the entertainment of the video.
