I spend a lot of time with "bike friends", but in a way it takes a lot of time to get beyond bike talk and learn more about people.
And to save a long story, I had a dream last night about time travel. Why? An interesting post ride discussion yesterday postulated that time travel was only possible if everything was happening all at once everywhere, yet we can only experience from one location. That's a butchery of the wording exercise we went through, but close enough. I was amazed that someone had a verbal essay on the subject of time travel on the tip of their tongue (thanks Jon).
What I'm still trying to figure out is if the Prime Directive (Star Trek) is the only reason that we haven't seen time travellers or extraterrestrial species (thanks Craig). For the record, the Prime Directive serves to limit the contact modern travellers of the United Federation of Planets can have with primitive civilizations, where primitive refers to civilizations that have not yet achieved warp drive.
