Time Vs Space : Pick one

[Nique]

One of if not the most fascinating thing to me about existence is that time is relative. Like, that you could theoretically have a bunch of people flying around in space at different speeds, some above the speed of light and others below it, and if they met up with each other at any point they would have been affected by time significantly different with decades passing for one and years passing for the other. Like, time is not just a static thing and that's kind of messed up and neat.

some above the speed of light

Definitely not that. Well the speed of light does kind of depend on the local gravity but I think you generally meant the local speed of light of the person moving. Well and conceivably there are places were spacetime itself twists and moves enough that closed time like curves are possible (read something akin to moving faster than light) but special relativity and its predictions don't apply there anyway. Of course you could potentially find a way to create an observer already moving faster than light (assuming tachyons do exist) but then you'd never be able to communicate with that observer or bring it below light speed. So remove that bit and maybe you have something.

I'm pretty sure the speed of light is more of a guideline than a rule. Its like the motorway- the limit is 80 mph but you can go 90 without any bother. I reckon scientists are just lazy and can't be fucked accelerating shit to the speed of the light so they are like "Nah you totally can't do that man, its like impossible".

I choose FIYAAAAAAh.

Fact 1: There's a time and a space for making fire.
Fact 2: I can make fire in the right space at the wrong time.
Fact 3: I can also make it in the wrong space at the right time.

Therefore Fire is capable of being independent of both space and time! QED.

I don't know if this was thought of already since I didn't read the entire thread, only pages 1 and 3(this one), but there are pros and cons to both. I'll list a con for each since they're the easiest.

Space - Yes, you could be in multiple places at once, but think of the mental instability. You would have to focus on different events at the same time. At some point, your ability to properly cogitate what you're doing in separate places is going to mess up and you may even end up doing the wrong thing in the wrong place.

Time - I'd like to think someone had it right. The ability to travel through time would be useful, however, what about the position of the Earth? You would need to travel to that exact same date and time years ago to not end up in the void. Even then, there is still a margin for error in that calculation. Since dates fall on different days of the week, you need to find out exactly which day it falls on. Since March 5th, 1972(random date) is not going to fall on the same day as say March 5th, 1975.

The only way I can see this works is if your powers are flawless. Like, you could be at work and at home playing video games simultaneously without distracting yourself with either or you could teleport to any location without causing some sort of space flux. That or with time, be able to move back and forth between dates in time without being stuck out in the void or without aging faster(relative to those living in normal time) than everyone else.

Is there a pro and con you have to say about Fiyaaah? I think not!

[Eltargrim]

Fuck the Minovsky limit. Breach the speed of light like a boss. Space is awesome (accommodates alcoholism), but time is the real limit. 4-vector that to the past and we're good.
