Whoa. That's crazy. A space time vortex under earth? That sure helps me sleep at night. This is a shocking revelation and the fact that we know how to look for it is CRAZY. This is such advanced stuff that I'm just appalled. I just don't get how a vortex can make a gyro go out of line.

This was a really cool video. When I heard that Einstein predicted it I thought to myself that he was a expert and that if he predicted it, it would proboly come true. I really liked this video. After I watched it I went to the website that it said I should go to and I searched the site. All in all I really liked this website.

I think that this video was really awesome. I would like to know how this will affect the human race. I agree with Weston in saying that it is amazing someone figured out how to see if there is a space-time vortex is amazing. I would like to research more on this topic on my own time to answer my questions.

I think that it's super cool that there is a vortex under us. If we could figure it out right now with all the technology, I don't know how Einstein did it. The only problem that I have with this is that it didn't explain so much in detail what the vortex was. It just said it was a time vortex. Maybe they did but I couldn't understand because they were using very complex terms. Although that flaw, I really like this post. Overall, interesting.

Einstein...I mean uh, Chris said...

I love space and time. I study them very hard and it is amazing and predictable that there is a vortex around us. This four-dimensional vortex could be the answer to a lot of scientific questions. We might be able to find a wormhole that can not only take us back in time, but maybe even forward again. We might find four-dimensional creatures or other ways to travel throughout space. There could also be a black-hole like gravitational force which, while not affecting Earth, might affect small organism like a human. I also wonder what could be inside of the vortex. Is there something below us that thinks that they are the only planet? Are there living organisms we won't even be able to recognize because they are so inhuman? There are countless questions that could be answered by this outstanding discovery. Though, even if there is a way to travel back in time everything would have already happened. You could tell Lincoln to give the Gettysburg Address, but you couldn't stop him from doing it. You could tell Ronald Reagan that he would die in 2005, but couldn't change it. Another thing that could happen is, if someone knows something really good is going to happen in the future they might not want to work which would technically create a time paradox in which that doesn't happen. It could change everything. It would also cause alternate and parallell universes. Overall, time and space is a very interesting topic.

This is very cool. I agree with Chris in all his points that we could find a time wormhole create a black hole and maybe find new creature. W Could completely ruin the world with the experiment of going back and forward in time because something or someone could alter the future and something could go wrong. Overall this is something very interesting to think about.

I thought that this video was extremely informative, and had some very interesting facts. I think there were a few things that I did not understand. Maybe someone who has studied this before, but I agree with Weston, I do not understand how a vortex can make a gyro go out of line. I also agree with Ethan. I went to the website, and it goes into slightly more detail than the video. I also thought the fact that according to Einstein's theories of relativity, are woven together, forming a four-dimensional fabric called "space-time." Another person that I agree with is Bryan. We were able to do it with all of the improved technology that we have in the modern world, but how did Einstein do it. That would be the other thing that I would have put in the video if I had made it. I very much like the idea that there is a vortex surrounding earth. I agree with Chris. This vortex could possibly lead to many discoveries. We might even, just maybe be able to figure out how to go back in time. I wonder if using this you could stop major events, or prevent deaths from happening. All in all, I very much liked this video. I would give it an A+++.
