So I was watching Back to the Future, and something occurred to me. Other than the clear violations of time travel protocol, I think the main problem is not with time, but with location.

 

The earth is moving around the sun at about 67000 mph. The entire solar system is moving as well as the milky way galaxy. So nothing would be in the same place and when Marty travels through time, he would materialize in the middle of space. Not a good idea if you are travelling in a delorean.

 

Just something I noticed and wanted to see if you guys had any thoughts on the matter. Maybe I am missing something.

That does answer some questions, but in my example (BTTF), it is never addressed. 

 

That's what the Flux Capacitor is for, spacetime displacement.

 

Everyone knows that a DeLorean is capable of FTL speeds so all of the rest of that stapled on crap is what manages his position in the universe.

I was just thinking about this movie today. That stupid All State radio ad came on, where the guy crashed into the only pine tree in Lone Pine, CA.

Did you ever notice that in 1985, before any time travel had taken place, the name of the mall was Twin Pines mall? Then when Marty traveled back to 1955, he crashed into a small pine tree. When he returned, the name of the mall was Lone Pine mall.

      I noticed Canales commented on King having a live arm. Weinke coached him and said he could make any throw an NFL team would ask him to make.  His mechanics and general process of throwing looks a little wonky to me though. Haven’t really zoomed in on that though to say more.     Brazzell, his hands look at least decent to me and of course his speed is there.   Love his balance.  Like a cat, always comes down on his feet. Not his butt.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By strato · Posted

      If Veabel is the father the name, unfortunately…. well you are looking at Mike Jr.    I feel bad for the husband And the kid though. Especially the kid who had no hand in anything and is just a victim.   Most people would develop some pretty big issues around the chaos of finding out nothing you were told about your father was true and you have been calling the wrong guy Dad.  And trusting your mother, well that is over too.     She should be permanently burned as a reporter or rumor reporter. Whatever she I was.    Who can trust anything she says?   Vrabel has outed himself as a total phony. No credibility whatsoever.

      Jaycee Horn Contract Restructured

      By strato · Posted

      My worry is about his concussion. Concussions.  Last thing we need is for him to  be like Jewel. I am looking forward to him benefiting from better players around him in the defense.  Defending QBs under a little more pressure than the last few years.  Better coverage defense in front of him in the middle.
