Time Machine

What does it mean I/you/we have time? Or, better, what is it, time? "Time is a component of the measuring system used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals between them, and to quantify the motions of objects". Defenition given by Wikipedia. The very first sentence. The more I learn about time the more I understand it's a very complex subject. It can easily form a separate part of philosophy. Or even a separate sience. It's that big. Even bigger.
Fourth dimension. That's what makes me really curious right now. We live in a three dimension space and some theories say time is a fourth one. And obviously we can travel in this 3-D space. No questions about it. So can the "time dimension" be same flexible? What are the real concepts of the machine that can conquer time? Concepts of the time machine?
Wikipedia says it's fictional device. As we all know from the past all fiction sooner or later becomes true. Does it concern our time machine? Honestly I can hardly imagine time travel. I'm being a little bit sceptic. What a mess it could create! The best way I can come up with to describe it is "Back to the future". Remember? Well, I love it, I've seen it for I don't know how many times.
Meeting your pops or grandparents or your "unborn in real life" kids. Or say, to appear in the middle of a battle and get killed. Or eaten by a dinosaur. What then?! I don't know.
The only option I see is human brains. It won't allow to travel deep into the past nor far into the future. A couple of electrodes will be connected to a human's head and here we go. You'll be able to experience your own life all over again, with no opportunity to influence the real life. And it's not going to be a virtual reality. Parts of the brains will be activated in a way you'll be able to touch things, to smell, to taste. Even to talk to people and hear their voices. You won't even know it's not real until disconnected. Also, based on your past, computer will generate a "show" of your future. It' going to be just incredible!
Later on, scientists might discover DNA stores information not only "what it is" but what was going on in the history of this particular DNA as well. And that would be even more impresive. Such data would take us to any point of the past and would give more precise vision of the future...

Digital Bonus
Here's the list of things which are not so important and which we most probably will never find out but which help us stay a little bit kids.
How many leaves are there on a tree?
How many bubbles are there in a loaf of bread?
What is the point when it starts raining? And is there "the first drop"?
How long would it take a diver to reach the Mariana Trench?
Are there limits to sport records?
Who was the first one to say "Mama"?
What are the "build it bigger" limits?

A To-Do List
People always plan stuff. All kinds of stuff. To go to Vegas. To visit parents. To buy a new house or just food for their pets.
I am no exception. And I put stuff on my to-do list. The thing is there are always reasons to leave it for later. "Aah, it's bad times right now. Plus I don't have spare money. In addition there's no mood to do something. And there's nothing wrong with it if I do it later, is there?!"
I keep the situation like that, and the list keeps growing bigger and biiger. But then I know the life keeps going on. It is passing by and I come to get scared of it: there's going to be one day for me to realize my chances are gone, no more time, no more spirit to accomplish things.
On the other hand having all that in mind does not help me to start moving.

Yellow Dwarf
Did you know our Sun will burn out its nuclear fuel in 5 billion years?
I've found it out not so long ago and it made me think: what's next? I understand it is kind of ridiculous to think billions of years ahead. Human as a species itself exists for only around one hundred years. But still. To me it's a little bit weird to realize our home, this peice of cosmos art will come to extinguishing one day and there is nothing to do about it. Simply to take it as it is.
It is also known by now that life on Earth exist for around 4.6 billion years. It means our planet is a half way right now. So if something terrible happens, some kind of a global catasrophe and we don't survive... The good thing is Mother Nature with its Father Evolution will have one more chance. And who knows what might be next "homo sapiens"?! If it's all about the evolution it is logical to assume that say a bear has a chance to be smart, or some reptile. We have a talking reptile "messiah" on TV and in another 4 billion years from now it'll be real.

No chance to hide
To run, run boy, no chance to hide.
To see the world you need to glide.
When wings are weak and wind just stops
It's likely pleasure to the mobs.
No time for tears but to fight,
You'll know reasons for this flight.
Somebody says: for you - no more?!
Then others' voice: you've seen no war...

Baby talk

I'm trying to imagine the moment I was born. "Imagine" because I cannot remember it. But they say there are ways. Through a meditation for example. Takes time and efforts. I never did it and to be honest I'm a litle bit sceptical about the thing but I'd like to experience it one day. When I have enough will to force myself doing something.
Anyways, baby talk is supposed to be about babies, not myself. What I was really thinking is how amazing they are. I mean everybody loves them, everybody admires them. The way they react: couple weeks since birth and they cry, they smile.
But... Have you ever paid attention to the fact they smile while sleeping?! I keep wondering what do they see in their dreams?! And these moments I'd like to recollect in my mind indeed.
