Back to the Future Thread

Forget the hoverboard. I'd want that Sports Almanac! :-)

Na, no remake, most likely they will add Jaws 4, onto the end of the movie marathon Back to the Future on October next year!

I don't mind riding on a hoverboard while doing battles on Coruscant with a LightSaber.

What still bothers me is the concept of Time-Traveling. Confusing me very much about Timelines and Expanded Universes.

Ah - that kind of confused. Okay - you should be. All we did with banana peels when I was in high school was smoke them.

OK, I didn't follow that. WHAT kind of mileage?

In theory ALL matter has energy. The problem is trying to release it. And there are different ways known to do so. Larger atoms are use in nuclear power only because they are ALREADY unstable. A few too many neutrons in the wrong place could start a chain reaction. So WHY NOT a banana? Can you imagine how much energy can be released if you could somehow use every part of the banana? I think it would SHOCK people. It would also generate NO pollution! But nobody has figured out how to do that all at once. You could create a cheap battery that is virtually pollution free. You could use a thermopile and create heat and/or electricity, that is virtually pollution free. There are likely chemical reactions that could be done.

Not that anyone would ever know, but what would you expect? She WAS supposed to be dead, so saving her in secret didn't change the lives of friends, or people that were to be born. The kids would have been home schooled in private so THEY couldn't affect the timeline. The doctor effectively did this after he went back, so it was a different timeline for HIM. The articles were viewed in a different timeline.

GEE, I tried to find the answer to this and found a site that spoke about her "biological age". ******INCREDIBLE******! Biological age has ALWAYS meant relative to the average. They could NOT have meant that, since she would then be a dead rotting corpse. BESIDES, WHAT would be the likelihood that biological would match chronological? And they could NOT be talking about chronological, since THAT would all be skewed. I mean look at the Dr! He was in 1885 and went to 2115, but was only like a few years older. WHY? Well, THINK ABOUT IT! THAT is the ONLY reason for using a time machine to go to the future! You get to go there without having to wait or being affected by the time that has passed.

Doc Brown marrying Clara Clayton did not alter the future because she was supposed to go over that cliff and died after her horses got away from her, but Doc saved her. Since he wasn't from that time and she was supposed to have died, it shouldn't have made a difference.

Of course, Doc would have explained to her the importance of staying out of history's way after she learned the truth because she wasn't supposed to be alive and he wasn't supposed to be there at all.

Not just the banana peel, but the Miller beer, too. Next time I run across a "Flux Capacitor" I'll read the manual. :-)

No the stainless steel body on the Leloraen, made the flux dispersal more efficient.

Or something like that?

Yeah, seen this, well done fake video.

The Hendo Hovers real though. :-)

You had me going, Dennis.

I hadn't thought of how the oil industry is gonna take to this stuff. Maybe they will just have to face that their days are near the end. It's not like big oil can't afford to close up shop. How much rich does it take before people are happy with what they have? Global domination is an extreme game fit only for the most ravenous of sociopaths.

Actually - a firm called Aerofex has already built a hoverbike. You can buy one. You have to put down a $5,000 deposit to reserve your order position - then when your craft is built it only costs around $85,000 bucks to own one.

Niah,...you might also notice the Xbox type device above the fridge, or near the Black and Decker Dehydrator!

And the cooking aid that looks like a 1940's phone exchange!


It seems that they were taking the p*** out of future tech, than trying to accurately portray the future. Or possibly a bit of both!

Not sure that l could watch it again, seen to way to many times, but maybe next year in October!

Don't we all!


It is good that the Doc, got lucky with the chick saving thing, if he had built the time machine only to save her, then she would have died, on a regular bases!

Space, time paradox thing, she has to die, in order for you to invent the means to go and save, her, which in turns means she has to die, asap, in order to avoid a paradox, blah, blah!

There was an article about the hoverboards above, they are based on the Chinese magnetic trains, and need a metal surface in order to work!

Or they are 2.5 cms above the surface!

So, with little friction, specialty build tracks and Hoverboard parks could still happen. Next best thing!

It's too bad that it brings up those memories for you. I love the series, especially 1 & 3. This is one that I don't have on dvd yet. I'll have to fix that. :-)
