Puzzled...?

IFWe could travel on the rim of space at just the right speed could we in theory dodge time and keep in the same day forever???

This is definatly one of those questions that you need to consume copious amounts of alcohol prior to answering ... see you back here @ 11pm 'ish ...... to surreal for tea time .. lol lol
No because time is relative to your position therefore you would continue to age at your normal rate. However if you were to return to Earth you might find that several million years had passed by unnoticed.
Next question?
What then if you were to go clockwise OR anticlockwise would the result be opposing and if this is the case then what if you instead went horizontally instead of vertically...would that make you stay static...?
is this the right forum for such questions try
what if you went twice the speed of the earth while wearing a rubber suit and a strap on, would that make a difference?
I used to try and work out puzzles like that when I was a kid (yes, I had a troubled childhood), but now I choose not to think about it :silly:

I don't understand the question.
Does "on the rim of space" mean just outside the Earth's atmosphere? If it does then your speed is determined by the laws of orbital dynamics - too slow you crash, too fast you disappear off into outer space.
If you mean can you stay in the same place while the Earth revolves under you, no you can't.
If you mean can you stay above a fixed point on the Earth's surface, yes you can, communications satellites do this.
If your location is irrelevant and you just want to know whether there's a speed at which time stops, no there isn't. The faster you go, the slower you age from everyone else's point of view (see Special Theory of Relativity), but from your point of view, everyone else's time is moving faster, so if you were in a spaceship travelling at high speed, if you stayed up there long enough, when you got down your personal clock would tell you it's friday while the Earth had actually moved on into the middle of next week.

That would depend on your centre of gravity. If your centre of gravity were too close then you would just make yourself very sick.
I dont know....
come on here and try to bring something to stimulate the mind which does NOT include tits/fannies/dicks and sexual connections and you get slapped hands!
Only kidding...not even a medium strop on...just thought I would make a few think about it..in theory anyhow? Diversity is the spice of life...that is how come the karma sutra came to be invented...??

pmsl , u may be joking .... i on the other hand ..........
If you head off to the outer rim of the universe I think the theory is you never reach it because you start travelling asymtotically to the outer rim. Hence the universe is infinite and so you can't reach the edge. If you do and you've got a Red Bull in you you might find the answer to Rocky's question.
Any volunteers? I think it requires quite a lot of dedication!
just my wit mate...
gets me strung up MANY a time...

That's slightly below average round here, apparently. rotflmao
I'm sadder than you, I have the television series on VHS, and first editions of all the books, one of which is signed by Adams himself. biggrin
HE he he he....!
Your wit and humour is brilliant mate. I just wish I was a bit more educated in some of the stuff you relate to, but hey we are likeminded and that is cool...
Laughter needs no words...the plank???
I am now sat naked in the middle of my lounge, wearing just one strand of green wool around my waist and a paper clip fixed to my left ear. I have lit incense sticks and surrounded myself with crystals. The front and back doors are open to allow the gouls and ghosties, to pass through unhindered.
Mrs davej is stood in the kitchen sink, wearing just a pair of red stockings and some flip flops, striking two halves of coconut shell together, whilst humming the tune from 'The Virginian' and I still dont know what the fluck you guys are on, but give me time and I will catch up.
I do hope the spirits enlighten me.
okok I want whatever the hell davej is on .....
please
