[11:36] Wishicortex: Hiya, how are you? Have you done any tests? [11:36] Wishicortex: Ah really, how did it go? [11:36] bethlmcconnell: It went well. I've learned that he can stop the wind at a future time [11:36] bethlmcconnell: it was only 10 minutes into the future [11:36] Wishicortex: Have you tried asking him to take you into the future a short way? [11:39] Moatie2: hi beth [11:39] Moatie2: was wondering if your Friend can affect things that laika perceives [11:39] bethlmcconnell: hi moatie2. [11:39] bethlmcconnell: I don't know if he can or not [11:39] Moatie2: can he make laika talk? [11:39] bethlmcconnell: I'm not sure how I'd know. [11:39] bethlmcconnell: now that would be interesting! I'd almost be scared of what she'd say. [11:39] Moatie2: only one way to know ruff ruff! [11:40] bethlmcconnell: He may. [11:40] bethlmcconnell: And I was safe yesterday. [11:40] bethlmcconnell: Time travel. That's something out of science fiction. [11:40] bethlmcconnell: Though I almost feel as if I'm living that now. [11:42] Wishicortex: You're not kidding! But so's teleporation eh? When you asked him to stop the wind in the future did he just wait 10 minutes and then stop it? [11:42] bethlmcconnell: He said that he didn't, though I wondered about that myself. [11:45] Moatie2: the question is...is your Friend changing your environment , or only changing your perception of the environment. It is hard to find a good test to differentiate the two. [11:45] bethlmcconnell: Agreed. [11:45] bethlmcconnell: I've had the same questions. [11:46] bethlmcconnell: And the discussion that we had on human perception didn't help me determine that. [11:54] bethlmcconnell: It seemed to be the wind itself [11:54] bethlmcconnell: but how can you really know [11:54] bethlmcconnell: I saw the ripples on the lake stop. [11:54] bethlmcconnell: but did they stop or did I just see them stop? [11:57] bethlmcconnell: he doesn't seem to know. so we are trying to narrow that down. [11:58] bethlmcconnell: do you have any ideas on how I could do that? [12:04] Wishicortex: That's probably true. Have you questioned him as to why he keeps coming back to see you? Surely, you must be an integral part to helping him. [12:04] bethlmcconnell: I think that's the reason. [12:06] bethlmcconnell: I'll ask him about it over lunch though. Which I really must get to making. [12:06] bethlmcconnell: I'll be back later in the afternoon. [12:06] Wishicortex: Does _he_ eat? [12:06] bethlmcconnell: no, I've not seen him eat. [12:06] Wishicortex: Maybe you should offer him some! Anyhow, I'll speak to you later, enjoy your food [12:06] fLavi9: hi beth [12:06] bethlmcconnell: Hi. [12:06] bethlmcconnell: You caught me just as I was getting off. [12:06] fLavi9: i'm sorry [12:06] bethlmcconnell: I'll be back this afternoon though [12:06] fLavi9: okay [12:06] bethlmcconnell: no, I'm sorry. I'm just cold and hungry. I hope you understand. [12:11] Moatie2: slightly wet your hands and ask your friend to send you back 10 min. wave your hands to dry them off. when you are back in normal time, are your hands still wet or did they dry off? [12:11] Moatie2: if they are wet, then there was only a perception of time travel [12:11] Moatie2: if they are dry, then time has really elapsed [12:11] Moatie2: you must be busy chasing laika around...must be fun [12:11] bethlmcconnell: No, I was sending a couple emails (my whole reason for getting on here... well that and updating my log) [12:11] bethlmcconnell: I'm going to go get to the fire though and try to warm up. [12:11] bethlmcconnell: I'll be back this afternoon I'm sure. [19:14] Newbie645 (9:55:38 PM): Did you happen to look at one of those objects you put into the fire after the heat came back? Was it still undamaged? [19:14] bethlmcconnell (10:11:05 PM): it was completely undamaged [19:14] bethlmcconnell (10:11:19 PM): everything about it was the same as when it went into the fire [19:16] bethlmcconnell: do you have any suggestions of ways to determine his control of time? [19:31] bethlmcconnell: I will test sound [19:31] bethlmcconnell: I did not have that on my list. that's a good suggestion.
