You can always guarantee a laugh with these mad professors! Maybe there was some truth in these professors with long white hair and equally long white coats we see in the movies after all!

These guys aren't nutters. It's totally plausible.
Except the thing is that the bird wasn't sent by God or some cosmic natural force , but by a cute lucious girl dressed up as a waitress.

Anything is possible when it is impossible to prove otherwise. Personally I think it is gnomes that are stopping the LHC from working. Far more newsworthy that it just being the sheer complexity and size of the project.
Gnomes! Gnomes! I want my five minutes of scientific fame while feeding the public nonsense!

Well I for one think time travel is perfectly possible. There are two ways to do it:
1. Using a TTB or TPD, depending on how you pronounce the letters. This method requires you to sit in a chair while a cute girl whacks you on the back of the head - hard. Then, when you regain consciousness - you find yourself in a different time.
2. Data Transfer: This method is far less crude. What you do is basically "email" all of the data of the present you to the past or future you - and the past or future you downloads the data and immediately "becomes" the present you in the future or the past.
Both of these methods are scientifically proven to wokr
er...work.

I was all in favour of the first suggestion until you mention getting whacked on the head!

Well - the whack on the head is only an assumption...maybe it's like a vulcan neck pinch? In any event, it's very nice because when you wake up, you've got your head on her laps on a bench in a park at night.
Then, she suddenly seems to faint and her future self emerges in a mini-skirt to talk to you.
In the end, you get sent back to the future (presuming you're in the past) by going to bed with her (but only to sleep mind you).
You go to sleep in the past and wake up three years later, a split second after you left.
So it's all very simple you see...
However, the one thing you would require in the interm is the help of Data Processing Beings...or something like that.

One thing I did love about maths (so long ago now!) was that in maths, every statement that has no counterexample is true. For example, the statement "If 0 does not equal 0, then Ralph=Longtooth" is true, because it is impossible to conceive of an instance in which 0 does not equal 0 and Ralph is _not_ Longtooth. (Because it is impossible to conceive of an instance in which 0 does not equal 0.)
No joke. These are the rules mathematicians live by.
So... what was the question again?

Right, thats it. I'm off to find a few Data Processing Beings!

Well, in all fairness the Data Processing Beings aren't actually time travelers in the strict sense of the word, and they only time travel when they are compelled by circumstances into Emergency Mode.
As for the maths that Martin brings up... the problem with this is the following:
If 0 does not equal 0 then Ralph = Longtooth and 0 = 0.
Why?
Because going by the logic of "since we can say 0 doesn't equal 0 then we can say anything" ... then doesn't "0 = 0" fall under the category of "saying anything?"
But then that means we can say 0 does not equal 0 AND at the same time therefore 0 = 0 "since everything goes" under the impossible axiom we started from.
Thus all that is proven is that even math is not immune from the logic of the Dialectic.
But that's actually quite mundane and boring.
Bringing things back to time traveling...
I just remembered - they are not called Data Processing Beings but rather Data Interface Beings.
You see, in their essence, they are pure Data, but the Data Interface Beings are specifcally crafted so that Data may interact with us humans (who are not pure mind).
Data Interface beings are usually extremely sexy girls who hide their good looks under glasses, a thick sweater and can usually be seen quietly burried in a book somewhere out of notice.
Although they also have been known to be spunky long legged lasses who you'd die for - but you need to be careful because those tend to malfunction and like experimenting with knives.
But neither of them are time travelers as such.
Just because they can "beam" Data across the time-planes does not make them time travelers. They just "cheat" because they don't have any physical forms that necessarily compose a part of their essence.
That is to say, if we ripped our "minds" away from our bodies, I say we would loose part of what makes us unique individuals. The Data lifeforms, however, never had bodies - or at least if they did, they long ago evolved out of them, and now exist as pure mind. They replicate and inhabit bodies as Data Interface Beings in order to be able to communicate with us, but strip away the body and you do not detract from the Data lifeform.
Thus, to say they time travel is kind of like saying that "time time travels" ...
Now, embodied humans have so far found no other way to time travel beyond via cute girls whacking a fellow in the back of the head.

I know! But according to the rules of maths, it is true to say that if 0 didn't equal 0, you would be Longooth. It is also true to say that if 0 didn't equal 0 then you _wouldn't_ be Longtooth. Neither statement has a counterexample, so they are both true. It's not "anything goes", Pete. "0 doesn't equal 0" is _not_ true in maths. What is true is to say that _if_ it were true, then anything else would be true. _Because_ the first bit is false, anything goes if the first bit is true. You can demonstrate it with equations and Venn diagrams and stuff. (The set of possibilities in which 0 doesn't equal 0 and Ralph doesn't equal Longooth is the empty set, because it's a subset of the set in which 0 doesn't equal 0 - which is empty. Therefore if 0 doesn't equal 0, Ralph does equal Longooth. And, by similar logic, if 0 doesn't equal 0, then Ralph isn't Longooth. If 0 doesn't equal 0 then Ralph both is and isn't Longtooth!) I'm sure I had a point to make about time travel when I started this. Sorry, Ralph. First thing that came into my head. Martin

As tempting as it would be to debate the maths question a bit more, I think it would only take us off topic. The real question is - where did the biscuts that stopped the big machine come from? Was it a bird from the future or a lizard from the past, or was it both?
I personally think that, going by the general outline regarding time travel that I gave - the first thing that needs to be done is people need to check if there are any American style 1950s like restaurants near that machine? Or at the very least, any traditional style German beer houses? We're looking for women dressed up in either traditional German beer girl garbs or traditional American 50s waitress clothing.
Find that, and you have the first step towards solving the mystery.

Well the first step would, I imagine, be to google the matter. So I googled this: waitress big LHC machine. The text gave sporadic results, so I switched to graphics search and came up with this: images.google.pl/images?hl=pl&source=hp&q=waitress%20near%20big%20LHC%20machine&lr=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wiAs you can see, there is indeed a blond German looking traditional beer waitress in one of the pictures when you google this subject - so that just proves the connection right there. But what is eminently interesting is the black cat that also comes up in this thread of pictures. Now, the reason I bring is up is that Data Interface Beings are known to have cats that talk. The cats are not necessarily black, although the intention was to make them black, but that didn't work out. In terms of their speech patters, the cats like to argue that it is not "impossible" that they talk, because really all that is happening is that they are making sounds that, to our ears, sound like human language and coincidentially correspond in content to our statements. So if we say "how are you?" the cat would just happen to make a sound that we hear as "fine, and you?" It is impossible to disprove that the cats are just making sounds which coincidentially not only correspond with language, but seem to logically proceed from the content of what was said to the cat "would you like som milk? "why yes, please." etc. Anyways - the presence of this cat makes me think that Data Interface Beings had something to do with sabatoging the LHC, rather than time traveling waitresses. Pete

The titles for that list of pictures sounds like a collection of phrases that Cullen would come up with. 'She's blonde' 'big muff' and 'near a flagpole' are things that I'd expect from him!

This could only mean that Cullen is in on it. Now, we can't know for sure whether he's a conscious participant or merely a pawn in a larger plan for global domination. Nevertheless, all leads must be followed up on.
I'll rely on you to get figure out the Cullen angle on all of this. Perhaps it would be best to not proceed any further before that matter is cleared up?
