I've been told by various knowledgable people that it's not a true paradox once general relativity (another theory) is taken into account, but none of them has ever been able to explain why in a satisfactory way (i.e., something other than "well, there's a lot of math involved, but trust me, it works"😉.
to travel backwards in time you first must travel faster than the speed of light, which is not possibile as if you were to do that your mass would be infinite and so infinite energy would be needed, which isn't possible
Hypothetical situations aside, particles have been observed to "tunnel" through barriers at speeds of at least 1.7 times the speed of light (see for eaxmple http://www.aei-potsdam.mpg.de/~mpoessel/Physik/FTL/tunnelingftl.html).

I'd say so. I don't think IQ is a very meaningful statistic, though.

Originally posted by latex bishopVery good point. That, I think, was in some ways the original idea. Conversely, it can be used as a guilt trip of sorts...being told that some action is unacceptable from someone because their IQ is high.

Originally posted by latex bishopi don't know about his IQ, but wasn't the part of his brain that did maths about 4 times larger than it was meant to be?

yeah-testing isn't good! what with A/B tests, unit assesments, practice assesments, and the final exams, along with our actual course work and homework, and all this during the period when teenages just want to be teenagers!...
