Yes, that's what I was thinking, although IANAP. This is more along the lines of the time-machine of HG Wells, isn't it? I assumed that inertia and the force counterbalancing gravity would persist throughout the duration of the temporal travel, which in the case of Wells machine, wasn't IIRC instantaneous. Then I wondered about what happens when you experience, say, 10,000 years of gravity in one second. Wouldn't you get flattened, or at least start to sag a bit?

Comment Re:My phone did it (Score 1) 480

Do you guys remember the April bug in the older SE phones? It happened on two succesive models, two years running. If you accessed the Calendar at any time during April, using the hotkeys to get there, it locked up and needed the battery pulling. If you accessed the Calendar via the longer approach, delving into the menu, it worked fine. When May came around, the hotkey access to Calendar returned to normal.

It was quite bizarre, but I was actually looking forward to the following April to see if the bug was still there ;-)
