I wouldn’t want to be on his bad side.

A new concept for a time machine could possibly enable distant future generations to travel into the past, research now suggests.

Unlike past ideas for time machines, this new concept does not require exotic, theoretical forms of matter. Still, this new idea requires technology far more advanced than anything existing today, and major questions remain as to whether any time machine would ever prove stable enough to enable actual travel back in time.

Time machine researchers often investigate gravity, which essentially arises when matter bends space and time. Time travel research is based on bending space-time so far that time lines actually turn back on themselves to form a loop, technically known as a “closed time-like curve.”

“We know that bending does happen all the time, but we want the bending to be strong enough and to take a special form where the lines of time make closed loops,” said theoretical physicist Amos Ori at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa. “We are trying to find out if it is possible to manipulate space-time to develop in such a way.”

Many scientists are skeptical as to whether or not time travel is possible. For instance, time machines often are thought to need an exotic form of matter with so-called “negative energy density.” Such exotic matter has bizarre properties, including moving in the opposite direction of normal matter when pushed. Such matter could theoretically exist, but if it did, it might be present only in quantities too small for the construction of a time machine.

Look at this video in full screen for a while, then look at the surroundings. This one is insane! No need of psychedelics anymore.

Have you ever seen a split tongue?

Here’s how the do it!!!

Not too bad to carry by mouth, but you wouldn’t want to eat one.

The bulls’ testicles were the curly bit for contestants in the Shepherd’s Shermozzle in Hunterville at the weekend.

They had to fang into dry weetbix, scoff a raw egg and wash the lot down with a can of beer.

The beer probably also cushioned the taste of raw bulls’ testicles, which had to be carted, by mouth, 50m to the next stage of the competition.

Winner Josh Masters said he’d never carried a bull’s testicle in his teeth before, but it wasn’t too bad.

“Best of all, they weren’t connected to anything.”

People who want the information will be delighted to know a bull’s testicle weighs about 1kg, raw, depending on the size of animal it came from.

They were supplied by meat plants where bulls are killed for export meat.
