Superman and Time Revisted

Factual Questions

Please read the whole post before you start with the “you are an idoit stuff” again. Remember this isn’t the Pit.

Here is a link to the original thread that appears was now closed too early.

So, I watched Superman again. And he clearly reverses the rotation of the Earth. Because he later go if the reverse direction to reverse the orbit again (back the way it was going to start.)

Anyways, I found this link that seems to say there is a scientific reason for this.

It seems that the Earth drags space/time around itself.

So now that I have a cite that shows it is possible to do this, how would we reverse time with a reverse orbit?

Should read “Revisited”

Well, you haven’t left much to say here, so here’s a link to where I can say it.

Despite Nametag’s pit thread being completely factually correct… I will try a completely new tact.

BZ00000, is there any subject that you know very well? Something that you are nearly expert at, even if only by your claims?

This subject could be as prosaic as masterbation… literally, anything will do for my idea for putting this clearly for you… but really, I need to know a topic that you are really familiar with, something you completely understand.

BZ00000, I want you to repeat this to yourself 1,000 times:

It was just a movie.

See, superman did not in fact make the earth spin backward. If some force did make the earth spin backward, time on earth would not reverse – we’d all just get a hell of a case of whiplash.

I’m sorry that you are unsatisfied with the answers you got in the prior thread, but that does not make them less correct, or you less incorrect.
