A group of scientists in the department of Astrophysics
at Michigan Technological University have tried to find out if time travellers
use social media. If people from the future tried to visit the past they may
have left clues on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter they declared. They
chose two events to research, Pope Francis and Comet ISON. Looking to see
references to these topics before they happened they found absolutely nothing.
Unfortunately, the
research had some fundamental problems,
1. They should have tried to locate the DeLorean DMC-12.
2. Time travellers don’t have time for social media when
they need to save the universe from yet another apocalypse.
3. Okay, so you find them and then they'd have to kill
you.
4. If they did decide to go on social media, wouldn’t it
be to get 10 billion likes instead of talking about the Pope?
I think I'll stick to the tea leaves to see the future. Have a super social Saturday and keep an eye out for those time travellers.
That is interestin Molly , is this for real ?
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Saturday, Molly.
ReplyDeleteThey obviously don't know the rules of time travel - leave no trace!
ReplyDeleteI'm deep impressed that an university researchs such cool things. They should hire me! Can you take a look in your tealeaves for me? Is there a big chewing bone? Or the lottery numbers? Oh, or maybe both?
ReplyDeleteHave a great saturday, Molly
Well, who has time for time travel? Not me, I've got naps to take!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should all tweet things that sound like we know about the future and confuse the researchers! teehee! Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteYep Molly I saw it on the Internet so it must be true. Must be lovely to be an Astrophysicist and get paid real money to think of stuff like that, huh?
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Miz Molly; stick to the tea leaves of NOW to help your muses predict the future! Forget those time travelers....they don't know how to live and have fun in the present!
ReplyDeleteNow go and take a rest with a lovely cup of tea and read on!
You look very suspicious of these results. :) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWho cares if time travelers use social media?!? I, like you, doubt they would have the time. I prefer your method with the tea leaves. Stick to what works, I say!
ReplyDeleteHappy saturday,
Oz
Oh my sometimes it is indeed best to just be in the present. lol
ReplyDeleteha ha.
ReplyDeleteWe can tell YOU very plainly that WE trust your tea leaves and crystal... a LOT more than we trust any research that PEEPS do. THEY never get ANYTHINGY right.
ReplyDeleteI saw this on the colbert report and I thought really thats how you would find time travelers?

Very thought-provoking Molly! Must meditate on this! Me-Ommmmm
ReplyDeleteWe could have found nothing and saved someone a whole lot of money instead of paying the astrophysicists!
ReplyDeletePlay bows,
Zim
BOL, looks like we had better stop looking for time travellers!
ReplyDeleteDip and Elliot x
Mom agrees especially when it comes to weather predictions...they are horrible at it here
ReplyDeletecurrently HORRIBLE WEATHER HERE TODAY TOO EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE COMPUTER THERE IS A WARNING OF SOME SORT ANOTHER NOW.
HUGS MADI YOUR BFFF
Lol - what the heck? Shouldn't they be researching something more important than that?
ReplyDeleteTea leaves sound just as scientific to us.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella l& Roxy
When I come to visit you- we get caught up on all the news!

What an amazing idea, my mind is slightly overfull at the possibility of someone from the future nipping back and leaving evidence on Facebook - and I just deleted my facebook a/c so am I going to miss something phenominal? My mum used to read the tea leaves and I think they are extremely trustworthy, so in the absence of facebook Molly, I'm depending on you and the tea leaves to keep me informed of anything upcoming of importance.

ReplyDeleteAnd all this time we thought astrophysicists had really important stuff to work on.
ReplyDeletePurrs,

Good luck with the tea leaves! I'm sure you'll have more luck than they did. Plus, you look so fantastic in the part!
ReplyDeleteMolly....
ReplyDelete"I think I'll stick to the tea leaves to see the future. Have a super social Saturday and keep an eye out for those time travellers.". Will do!! Those time travelers sound crazy!! It takes one to know one? ;op

Molly I would love to time travel..then I could find out why my silly notofations for some bloggies is not appearing......hence late comments ;) hugs Fozziemum xx
ReplyDeleteI would love to time travel, if only to find out what my personal future holds. If it turns out bad, then I can maybe make different/better decisions so that it turns out better.
ReplyDeleteLOL you nutter Molly x
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the very sad movie titled The Time Traveller's Wife... He died in the end because he couldn't control his time warping skills.
ReplyDeleteThis is way too deep for us to think of on a Monday morning! Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteThat's funny.
