Greatest hole in whole thing is that time overflow bug is actually simple to solve if you know about it. You simply need modify dates table and problem solved. Most of millennial bug drama was because many private companies ignored the problem. And old software was not easy to update, when someone refuse to do it. It literally make no sense to be a problem, if that is actually a goal of government. But hoax did cleverly target something what common people though it would be a big deal.

I think his story added a fix, where the machine would temporarily drop out of "warp", measure gravity, compare that reading to a previous reading, and if the numbers were too far off the machine would do something like a reset back to the previous reading (go forward in time) and drop out of "warp". That way if he got too far from Earth's gravity, the machine would nudge itself back.

[@foxdavion6865]

A lot of people are saying "oh 32-bit isn't an issue because we all use 64-bit computers and smart phones etc etc" that may be true, but companies still use 32-bit microprocessors in cheap items because they are cheap and mass produced for applications unrelated to complex computing, such as toys, microwaves, landline telephones, portable smart devices such as blu tooth speakers and critically, the big elephants in the room - modems, most routers and modems use the last generation of 32-bit processors from the early 2000s, ATMs and Self Service machines that still use 32-bit processors and most critically, a lot of automated industrial production robots controller systems. So the 32-bit problem is very much a real problem we're still in the process of dealing with and it's being delt with as a lot of newer hardware in these sectors are replacing the cheap mass produced 20 year old 32-bit processors with slightly less cheap 15 years old 64-bit processors. The big problem however is, in a lot of places companies can't afford to replace these old machines and in a lot of cases, especially in developing countries they are unable to replace them.

[@NeovanGoth]

It has nothing to do with hardware. Nothing prevents you from using 64 bit timestamps even on a 1 bit computer. Just as the Y2K problem, the issue lays purely in software and is a result of how (among others) the C programming language works: For performance reasons, in most C implementations the default size of an integer value is equal to the width of the CPU it is compiling for. So when writing software that handles standard Unix timestamps (seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00 UTC) that is intended to run on architectures other than 64 bit (maybe on a small 4 bit microcontroller), you have to take care to use uint64 to store those values to avoid overflows.

[@ChunkyMoe]

In relation to time travel: Here's 2 BIG problems no one thinks about. Say you COULD travel backward and forward in time. Two problems: Problem A: Since matter can neither be created nor destroyed, if you "transported" back or forward in time, the time you just left would have a vacuum of matter loss, which goes against fundamental physics. "No Matter can be created nor destroyed, only changed into energy or visa-versa) Same issue would arise if you went back or forward to a different time period. That time period already has all the matter in the universe, you "zapping" into that new time (regardless of what "world" you entered) so you again would be breaking a fundamental rule of creating matter that did not exist. Since we are made up of matter we have consumed that went into our bodies (air, food, water, etc.) then all the atoms that made you would suddenly have to be forced back into the multitude of things it came from. A cows bones or whatever is left would suddenly get new atoms of meat, water you consumed would have to magically go back to its source, etc. The new time you went to would have to make "room" for the new matter you just created, and since the universe is full (even deep space is full of "matter") you would cause an overflow of matter. Think of a full jar of water. Add just one more drop of water and the water spills out over the edge. Except in the physical realm there would be no "jar" for it to spill out of, the matter you just took place of would have to be destroyed, which brings us back to the other problem of not being allowed to destroy matter. Say you could change that matter into energy, how would nature "pick" what matter to turn into energy? You could kill 1000s of people by just appearing in the new time era. Problem B: The earth, the solar system, even the galaxies themselves move through space through the universe. The spot you exist in this very second is a spot in the Universe you will never exist in again. If I even jumped forward in time 2 seconds, I would not appear where I started from, as the Earth itself would have rotated about 150 yards -or roughly the 1.5 times the length of a football field. Add the amount of "space" the earth would have moved through the universe in that time as well and you would be an additional 45 miles in the wrong place. So unless you could calculate exactly where the spot you started from would be in whatever time, down to the microsecond, you could wind up in the vacuum of space OR deep within the Earth's crust itself. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

[@jdwohlever]

Holy Crap!

[@apexmoon6912]

Time travel isn't travel into parallel universes as your problems suggest. There is no matter difference...

[@NeovanGoth]

Problem A is obvious and just one example of how backwards time travel would violate a lot of fundamental laws of physics (mainly conservation laws), and hence is impossible (reductio ad absurdum). Problem B however is a misconception. There is no universal coordinate system in the universe; all movement is relative to a frame of reference. When traveling forward in time (which most of us do all day long), you certainly don't end up in space unless you put energy into accelerating yourself. The Earth doesn't "move" in that sense, as it is not accelerating. It follows a geodesic trajectory through space time, and there is absolutely no reason why this shouldn't apply to matter going backwards through time as well. As a matter (pun intended) of fact this is a result of symmetry, which means that the laws of motion work the same in both time directions, which allows us for example to not only calculate where the Earth will be in a million years (relative to something else of course, like the center of the Milky Way), but also where it was a million years ago.

Time is relative, it's not actually happening in the linear sense we think it is. That's just our limited perspective making it appear so. Thus there isn't really a point in the past or future to go to, because all there is, and all there ever will be, is the eternal present. So you wouldn't be traveling to another time period so much as you would be experiencing a different perspective of relativity.
