Dear False Positive Readers,
This is Ashley Walton, Mike’s sister and editor of False Positive. I have really terrible, awful news and a tiny bit of good news.
You might have noticed it’s been a couple years since we’ve posted anything on this website. Well, brace yourself for the saddest update I’ll ever share.
How very laymen. Really loving the comic’s style and overall artwork, got here from an ad from another comic, Monsterful.
Yes a nice presentation. The idea that if we could develop time travel we could only go back as far as the machine existed. And the problem of the earth and everything else moving too is taken into account.
I’m lost, even in laymen terms. xp
Got here searching for cosmic horror images… and I have to add this is an amazing job at describing what cosmic horror is!!
What I’ve been wondering is that, if you have the mathematical algorithms to calculate a historical point in space to send something back in time, couldn’t you also use similar calculations to project a future point in time? All you would have to do is make sure that the machine will remain activated during the whole span of time.
And hope that there’s no electrical blackout in that facility that you could neither anticipate nor mitigate…
A question that would certainly merit exploration.
Reminds me of the Strek Trek reboot movie by JJ Abrams…I think he never really understood what Trek was all about in the first place, but here’s a quote from the movie that’s similar to this page:
Scotty:
What’s that?
Spock Prime:
Your equation for achieving transwarp beaming.
Scotty:
[mutters] Get out of it… [reads the equation and gapes] Imagine that! It never occurred to me to think of space as the thing that was moving!
