Bizarre but effective 🙂
a time storm isn't rational... just anyone in one!

Originally posted by dragonstarr369 i've heard of time storms and the confuson it causes. meteorologists fear them beacause they are so unpredictible. they come without warning and create mass confusion. does anyone have any significant information on time storms, or as they call, time slips?
The only information I can find is "heresay", nothing that you can really class as evidence. It is an interesting paranormal event though, of which i have never come across, so thanks for bringing it up. Although at this stage, there is really zero evidence to suggest it is anything but a myth.........
Unless of course you have other sources to present?

As I understand the theory of such things, history is changed to accommodate it .So how doe's anyone know that it occurred ?

you complete dim-wit! you DON'T know when it's coming. meteorologists cover it up. they all types of technology that records 24-7 the weather. they KNOW that it exists. why dont they give us the evidence. time stormes are unpredictable.

Do you have one single piece of evidence that could be considered credible? Heresay unfortunately cannot be deemed reliable, even the story on the wikipedia page states that the 2 people couldn't agree on what they saw.

See what I mean - that's a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Lack of evidence being used as proof. It doesn't even cross your mind that the reason they don't give us the evidence is that they don't have any?

if it's true you moron, we wouldn't need to give you any proof! matter of fact, if we didn't tell you that it did exist, you would NEVER know. you do your own research. remember... the truth is out there!

Hey the MODERATOR told me off when I called someone and ID*OT before. Presumably MORON is not as serious an insult ? 😕
I just wandered in here thinking I'd find something interesting about storms, maybe a discussion on storm chasers or the strange habits of tornadoes ... and I find an apparently serious attempt to sell one of Gordon Dickson's creative ideas as a REAL PHENOMENON. If we're talking SF, shouldn't we be in the Culture Forum?
