@inkican Going back in time would require more energy than is available in the universe, for going faster than the speed of light, which is impossible. That's the basis in the theory (should be called 'law' by now) of relativity.
Backwards time travel would obviously interfere with causality in creating an alternative past, which would lead to a different present. So it's a good thing that it's physically impossible, despite what a desperate astrophysicist believes.
The idea is that you can go backwards in time by going faster than light. The speed of light is actually the speed of information itself - so if you could go faster than that, you’d be going backwards in time.
However, Einstein showed that nothing can accelerate to the speed of light. You’d need infinite energy to actually reach the speed of light, and infinite energy is assumed to not be possible.
I wonder if there is a meaningful difference between your example, and the technology with which the JWST uses to view light in the past. Rather, if the later is something we can use for time travel ;)
I really, really like Macross, but isn't the original Gundam a bit more influential? If we include Super Robot stuff, some early Go Nagai series are probably way up there for influence too. Rocket Punches, etc.

The first line of the Disney trilogy was "This will begin to make things right." On its own, no biggie. But when you consider the utter dumpster fire of a trilogy that followed, which deliberately went out of its way to despoil the heroes of the previous Star Wars movies and destroy everything that they had worked to accomplish, incredibly frustrating. It's meta-frustrating. You can think of that line right before any of the other individually-frustrating scenes you may think of and it makes it even worse.
To compare and contrast, here is an attempt by chatGPT 3.5.
The prompt I gave it was: "Write an approximately 400 word article on the Space Guild in the Dune novels. Touch upon its history, it's significance in the Dune universe and what we know about the navigators themselves."
It's response:
In the expansive and intricate universe crafted by Frank Herbert in the Dune novels, the Space Guild stands out as a mysterious and indispensable entity. As a critical player in the galactic power dynamics, the Space Guild's history, significance, and the enigmatic navigators who guide its vessels through the vastness of space contribute to the rich tapestry of the Dune universe.
The Space Guild, also known simply as the Guild, is a highly secretive and exclusive organization responsible for interstellar travel in the Dune universe. Its origins are shrouded in mystery, with hints of its formation dating back to the Butlerian Jihad, a conflict against thinking machines. However, the exact circumstances leading to the Guild's establishment remain unclear, adding an air of intrigue to its history.
Central to the Guild's role is the Navigators, mutated individuals with heightened prescient abilities. Exposure to the spice melange, mined exclusively on the desert planet Arrakis, alters the genetic makeup of these navigators, granting them the ability to see into the future. This prescience is crucial for safely navigating starships through foldspace, a dimension that allows for faster-than-light travel.
The significance of the Space Guild in the Dune universe cannot be overstated. With its monopoly on interstellar travel, the Guild holds immense power, both economically and politically. The spice melange, which is not only the source of navigators' abilities but also highly sought after for its various other properties, becomes a crucial resource controlled by the Guild. Houses and factions across the universe depend on the Guild for transportation, trade, and communication, making it a linchpin in the delicate balance of power.
Navigators themselves are mysterious and rarely seen outside their heavily fortified and spice-infused chambers. The mutation caused by the spice results in physical deformities, transforming navigators into beings with elongated limbs and enlarged heads. Their appearance reflects the high cost paid for the ability to fold space and traverse the vast distances between stars.
Despite their physical alterations, navigators are highly respected and feared for their abilities. Their prescient visions guide the Guild's starships, enabling them to navigate through the perilous folds of space with unparalleled precision. The reliance on spice, however, makes navigators vulnerable and beholden to the spice production on Arrakis, adding an element of dependency and vulnerability to the Guild's dominance.
In conclusion, the Space Guild in the Dune novels is a captivating and integral component of the expansive universe crafted by Frank Herbert. Its mysterious history, indispensable role in interstellar travel, and the enigmatic navigators with their prescient abilities contribute to the complex and engaging narrative of the Dune series, making the Guild a focal point in the political and economic struggles that unfold across the cosmos.
Damn, I have to go hunting, I didn't know a new season had come out so my DVR isn't set, I hope season 3 sticks to being more like season 1 or the second half of season 2, I didn't care for what felt like a change in tone away from the Alien aspect in the first half of season 2.
I've enjoyed her work in Resident Alien, she was also really good in Chuck.
Exo-Squad: Cool powered armor suits that had launchers and cool gadgets
MASK - Transforming vehicles and characters with special helmet tech
And of course original, Star Wars, and Transformers, I can distinctly remember playing outside in the snow with my Hoth playset in the middle of a Minnesota winter.
Just a sticker. You wouldn’t see it if it was exposed to the film without light shining trough it. The first few feet of film has nothing exposed to it. Since the operator needs to grab that directly to loop it trough the projector. https://youtu.be/_uFyp1WS1Fw
