Carolyn say: It doesn't. that's just a movie. the earth is flat anyway and space as you know it is a hoax. there's a dome, and water and we can't get past that dome

Tom say: Inspired by the idea if you manage to go FASTER than light you go BACK in time. Going around the Earth was just a convenient course of travel--rather than flying FTL out INTO space.--and having to come back.

quantumclaustrophobe say: So... *going back in time* is the issue you have with Superman...?
As for physics - he could *slow* time, but he couldn't reverse it.

spot a say: Even Superman or Green Lantern cannot reverse time in the real world.
Time goes only one way, forwards. This is partly due to the momentum of everything in the universe. To reverse time would require all movement to be reversed too. Imagine trying to suddenly reverse a car doing 60 mph. The gearbox would explode and the car would still be moving forwards. Now apply that to the earth, the sun, Jupiter etc BOOM!
