An unremorseful 43-year-old North Portland man stood up in Multnomah County Circuit Court on Monday and told the judge he accepted a plea deal to avoid possible prosecution for Measure 11 crimes.
Marlin Brandt Pohlman originally faced 13 counts, including charges of supplying women with drugs and then sexually abusing them. On Monday, he pleaded guilty to two drug charges, including possessing a large amount of ecstasy, and a third charge of second-degree attempted assault of a woman who spent at least four hours unconscious in the emergency room fighting for her life. Pohlman pleaded no contest to a fourth charge of second-degree sex abuse.

LOL!!
Looks like Marlin has been a bad boy......

Since I am Paul Andrulis, (from overunity.com) should I take that as a compliment?
1. Time is a substance, and a constant.
Time is treated in physics as if it was a physically flowing substance, when all evidence I have seen has shown it to be an effect. By effect, I mean that time is an abstract concept, which is observable as an effect of the motion of something else. Initially, our notion of time was based not upon a physical force, but ultimately is derived from the division of a day/night cycle, or more specifically the spin of the earth in relation to the sun. An hour was a fraction of a day, or 1/24th of a cycle. Now, our conception of time is based upon radioactive decay, which tends to be more precise. However, the modern system of reference is still ultimately based upon the original 24 hour cycle.
Both forms of measurement are based upon motion, and not upon the movement of a provable physical force.
This is demonstrable. Remove any form of reference, and time ceases to have any meaning for a human being, such as has been proved through time deprivation experiments. Minutes become indistinguishable from hours, seconds, or even days. Without motion (a form of change), time loses all meaning.
The concept of relative time 'speeding up' or 'slowing down' should be expected at this point, since motion can change due to circumstance or environment.
TIME, ITSELF, HAS NEVER BEEN A CONSTANT! (emphasis added) Time change in one frame does not affect time change in another. If the two frames become one, the separate frames must synchronize or one frame is being given preference over another. Examine Einstein's imaginative thought experiment of Earth and the ship.
One ship leaves planet earth at close to C, and sees time slow on earth. The people of Earth see time speed up on the ship. Both references are due to the motion of the photons transferring between each reference frame. The theory holds that if the ship returned to earth, the people on the ship would have stopped ageing, and the people of earth would have dramatically aged in comparison.
However, if the first conception is true then this conception I shall pose is true as well, for the same reason. If the ship turned and then accelerated back to earth, time on earth would seem to slow, and time on the ship would seem to speed up, and the people on earth would be exactly the same age as the people on the ship.
The truth of the matter is that time itself is relative, and has little meaning. It is a reference, a measuring tool, whose usability is limited to circumstance. Entropy (IE aging), is not dependent upon our perception of information based upon photons striking the rods and cone in our eyes.

I have a personal way of time travelling..
Would be awesome if we did actually develop an efficiently working time machine. When I say awesome I do mean in the traditional sense. When you start stepping the game up with things like time travel you've gotta be a lot more careful with your toys.
At the moment, our present way + time travel could only equal to mayhem.
No doubt economic powers of some kind would have the stranglehold. Using the technology for economic, political and influential gain.

Not sure what to make of this. Perhaps the internet security specialist is having some fun with patents( and conspiracy theorists)? Or perhaps Marlin B. Pohlman has nothing to do with this? The patent date of application is 2004 - 7 years ago.
edit on 12-10-2011 by Nightspore because: additional thought
It is exactly the same.
Odd,isn't it.

Not sure if anyone posted this? Same guy?

IDK if he's John Titor or not, but the possible connection is fascinating to speculate on. I have a problem with the patent claim though. I think that in order to patent something, it actually has to work. And unless this guy knows more than he's telling, there is no way to make it work until (according to the OP) someone can actually harness a singularity.
If we had that technology, we would be what Michio Kaku calls a Type 3 civilization, controlling the power of an entire galaxy ( I think that's Type 3, I don't remember exactly.) I do remember that he said we are currently a Type 0 civilization.
*Gee, since he made up the scale, you'd think he'd at least make us a Type 1 civilization.
