If only time were not relative, these "3-4 months" wouldn't feel like hundreds upon hundreds of years.

So!

How do we spend our time?

How do you personally spend your time in this wait?

Any suggestions as to how us crazed lunatics can cope with the crippling relativity of the time which we must endure?

Mystify us with a tale of intrigue?

Perhaps a joke?






Basically, I intend this thread to help us(me) endure through this hardship that is known as waiting, which will undoubtedly turn us all against one another and consume us until we are but piles of rotting hate-filled puddles of flesh...all of this by about mid-august if my calculations prove viable. So please, anything that can help us take our minds off of the matter or at least sooth the savage beast that is expectation?

He didn't "invent" relativity, he explained it, silly. :rolleyes:

Funny thing about relativity: the older you get, the faster time seems to pass. Just have to hold out. :shrug:

If you want time to fly by, i suggest you avoid anything to do with Skyrim. Then before you know it, it will be nov 11 :wink_smile:

Newton was cooler

SHA-BAM

play oblivion fallout 3 fallout NV all over again

I started reading Game of Thrones today.

Stay still the entire time and you might cut a few nanoseconds off of the wait.

Einstein is one of the greatest men to have ever lived.

Sir Issac Newton
Charles Darwin
David Attenbourough
Stephen Hawkings
Archimedes
Galileo
Pythagoras If you mean the one about the theory of triangles.... I'm still having nightmares from school
Aristotle
Plato
Socrates
Edwin Hubble
Carl Sagan
Ferdinand Magellan
Christopher Columbus
Confucius
Gutenburg
Da Vinci
Bill Gates
Steve Jobs
James Watt
Galileo
Copernicus
Neils Bohr
Beethovan

Are some......

Edited: based on a bollocking for doing to short a draft

Nah, it be better to accelerate at a high velocity, then he would cut some nano seconds off. Like if you see a airplane, the time dilates, so the atom clocks on that plane would actually go slower, than the ones on earth. And because we're going after the time on earth. It would cut down the time for waiting =) Atleast as of his perspective/anyone else on the plane.

Fixed :thumbsup:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to sow, and a time to reap; a time to play Skyrim ...uh... your're right.

Damn you Einstein! Damn you I say!

There's this great big thing called the outdoors that has loads of fun stuff to do while you are waiting for Skyrim to come out. Oh, who am I kidding...Just go back and play Morrowind, or Oblivion, or fallout 3 or...

I agree with the poster that said the older you get the more time seems to fly by. I'm 41 in two weeks and it seems like last year that I was celebrating 21...If only I could have those years back now. :whistling:

Archimedes
Galileo
Pythagoras
Aristotle
Plato
Socrates
Edwin Hubble
Carl Sagan

Etc...

Depends on what defines "Great", in terms of Influence you could include

Ferdinand Magellan
Christopher Columbus
Confucius
Gutenburg
Da Vinci
Bill Gates
Steve Jobs
James Watt
Galileo
Copernicus
Neils Bohr
Beethovan
To name a few...

I started watching The Tudors....I'm sad its over, really nothing to do with Skyrim's setting but it was still nice.

Ok I agree with all of them I was giving a very quick list of the first names that came to my head. Still thanks as now the list grows.......

dont read anything about skyrim

Beethoven but no Mozart? How dare you :verymad:. Seriously though, I might add Hippocrates to that list of great minds.

You forgot Alan Turing, without whom we wouldn't be playing Skyrim at all, and Roger Penrose, who worked on the mathematics of black holes with Stephen Hawking, and who has some very interesting ideas on the quantum mechanical nature of consciousness, and the impossibility of a true artificial intelligence.
Oh, and Einstein could only formulate general relativity within the framework of the already theorised Riemannian space.


My advice to OP, read more, I recommend Moorcock and Iain Banks.

WHERE IS CARL SAGAN? :swear:

If you want time to go faster for you, just travel at the speed of light for a month or so.

Duh. He was asking what we are doing to make the waiting process until 11 11 11 a little less disgusting.

Actually, I would credit The Person Who Invented The Plow as the single most important person in history.

From the way people go on and on about how great sliced bread is, I would assume the person who made that is more important.

I find it endlesly amusing that his name sounds like hipocrasy


But could he have invented it if someone had not already domesticated a crop or an animal?

Tolkien?
