is THAT what that was about?
I only ever watched the first half of the TV movie. Second half never really seemed to air, or it really failed to explain anything.
Yeah, they fly through some “portal” or whatever and end up in the previous day. Then langoliers show up to devour it. There’s some other madness going on, too. You know, typical Stephen King shit.
Isn’t this the premise of The Langoliers?
I’d like to return to about 12 hours ago so I can sleep
Weirdcore my beloved
Only time travel to the future is possible. For example I will time travel one hour into the future and it will take me one hour to get there
We are all time travelers
Slowing down the metabolism seems the mistake realistic thing we might be able to do to something like time traveling.
You can travel to the past. You just need to take a plane to somewhere in a negative offset time zone.
My Lemmy client says your comment is 1h old. Is it possible to learn this power?
You can backdate posts on AP.
I’ll travel several hours into the future and it only takes me one bottle of vodka.
Unless you’re traveling close to the speed of light!
It still takes you an hour, it just takes everyone else near infinitely longer.
The people are all gone, the Langoliers just haven’t shown up yet.
Of course not, don’t be ridiculous.
Even though a bit cringy because of the metaphysical stuff, I really liked that twist on the time travel trope.
My first thought
Because the langoliers got them?

That was the first Steven King movie I saw when I was a teenager. Messed me up.
Miniseries
yeah balki doesn’t do well
I saw it on TV when I was 7 or 8. I had nightmares for months.
you can easily return to the past
but a tree used to be there where you are and now you’ve impaled it
Your brain is a time machine. However, it cannot effect the reality that you physically reside in.
Time machine, but not a space machine
And the bike is a space machine, but not a time machine. What we need is a spacetime machine.
Ok so we need
If used correctly, the bike can move you forward in time. It takes approximately 60 minutes to move an hour into the future. But you can’t return so think twice before you go into a horrible age.
You can travel through space too, but again, it won’t affect the world you physically reside in.

Ackshzually ☝🤓 It will displace the air molecules around you causing a subtle but uncontrollable chain of events that will culminate in the next category 6 typhoon in Japan. Quickly, freeze!
NGL, this sounds pretty awesome.
Give me just a couple of minutes in either direction, I’m golden.
Perfect !surrealmemes@sh.itjust.works content!
It is a plot point in the sci-fi series Perry Rhodan, where they push the whole solar system 15 minutes into the future (iirc) to hide it from the rest of the universe.
So if aliens launch a nuke at the solar system, you would have died 15 minutes ago? 🤔
No, sounds like the solar system just got pushed out of phase with the rest of their universe.
The solar system will probably fall apart with the sudden disappearance of gravity of other systems
For the “present” of the rest of the universe it is just empty space, the Solar System is in a bubble of spacetime completely disconnected from the rest and continuously shifted 15 minutes.
