A way out of the 'time connundrum' for SJ in the pursuit of immortality which goes horribly wrong... Could the Juggernaiught in fact be existing out side the Space, Time Continuum? Firewalled from time? Maybe the single occupant, if that is all there is, exists as one with the ship and is protected from the ravages of time by some exotic technology that allows this to be achieved. He/She/They co-exist as one with the Juggernaught ship, the lifeforce that coarces through their "veins" - blue or otherwise - coarce THROUGHOUT the entire arteries of the Juggernaught as a whole. A fusion of mind, body and soul as on par and equal to the notion of "space" "time" and "continuum". Three levels of the universe..... In their eyes maybe....? Makes you think at least!. So when the creature that presumably chestburts from within him/her/they? - in some ways breaks or severs the link (the firewall against time) and in effect plunges the ship back into the current reality and events that are playing out upon the world involving the Prometheus crew and whatever it is they discover - in this single stroke, perhaps a million + years of evolution and avoidance to its ravages, time and other causality effects, catch up and indeed accelorate the Space Jockeys biological metabolism to be in tandem with that of the current space, time continuum around him/her/ them. In effect, the ship (Juggernaught) "dies" as the "single pilot" dies (if that is all there is) and this may also have a bearing upon why the ship crash lands or force lands on the planet it is found on in its "Derilict" form in the future. What future though, 33 + years type of future or 33 million + years!!?? Makes you think! This then negates having to have the tried and tested time travel as the central running device to explain the condition the SJ is found in. Instead of the entire ship and that of its contents going through time, they in effect "stand still" relatively speaking and thus time is brought to them or UPON them/the single occupant (SJ) when He/She/They are re-exposed to the effects of time they have been so carful up to now to try and avoid in the pursuit of immortality... ( Think of Indianna Jones and the Last Crusade with Donnavan who "drinketh from the wrong Cup of Christ" and he gets aged prematurely and Forever Young with Mel Gibson. 40 years of the aging process catches up with him in a relatively short time span that makes him old for the new time he now finds himself in and incidentaly, cryogenics is again featured as a crittical theme device to justify it. Alien crew members in hypersleep! Prometheus crew in hypersleep! Could the Space Jockey in getting into that mechanical chair be getting into his/her/their version of a cryochamber but for what by their standards would be a relatively short trip duration to remain in that position if they were intended to jet off to Earth? Could it be a Bio-Chair of some kind that allows its single occupant to "feel" the ship and thus "feel" his way around the ship with his mind and his impulses? It could all be interwoven with bionic sensory perception (future space travel even), cryogenics of the advanced kind and exotic forms of propulsion and space, time manueverability!) Not all merely existing as disparate, seperated forms of thought - each one as isolated as one is from the other but coagulated into one unified theory of "being" almost like Einsteins "Theory of Everything". Yet here, each disciplin serves to compliment the other. The mind/internal systems of the alien ship - its arteries, the body/the physical structure of the ship and its hulls overall constitution, and soul/propulsional properties and the the ships fluid dynamics inter-dimensional, space-time travel - the blood and life force of the living, breathing vessel to it soul occupant as a woman's womb is to a child within it.

Not quite sure what exactly you are laughing at Allinamberclad but never mind! These examples have been seen in Contact where Ellie goes through the wormhole to the outer Vega transiting stysem, monoliths do it in Arthur.C.Clarkes books of the "2001: A Space Odyssey" and onwards, existing in multiple dimensions at the same time and yet you can both touch it yet not touch it. 4, 5, 11 dimensions even hundreds of millions! Who knows! There are many other books and stories that tackle these subject matters as well, too numerous to name at this point in...er, well... time! lol!

Yes o.k. Perhaps. But its behavior which is not what we, certainly I, are here for - perticularly when it seems as though a vindictive thread is what is really at play here. I want to talk to people and in doing so flesh out the possible cans and cannots without the original piont of the discussion, as it was originally intended to be a discussion, being drowned out by silly behavior that has no bearing upon two or more individuals having a fair and amicable discussion. Thats all too!

I would not have thought so.... But with Lindelof on board any thing is possible...

It is wide open for debateble tangents, granted. Yes, that is an accepted truism that we have all come to expect and even secretively, in the back of our own minds welcome!

Never mind HyperNova. Fununily enough, I thought about calling myself Hypernova!! How about that for being ironic! What do you think HyperNova? lol!

@ Super-Massive Black Hole, I actually thought your theory was a band-aid solution to a number of imponderables. Take care.

SMBH wrote: What does a ship (Juggernaught - Derilict - Nostromo - Sulaco, etc.) do BUT travel through space and thus time! It is a pre-requisite to the laws of nature, it is a MUST and like it or not you have to obey, there is no way to avoid it due to our current understanding of the principles that is. Sir, a review of your logic indicates that is it indeed without equal, and is itself the foundation of our understanding of that branch of physics, known collectively as mechanics. The Cartesian coordinate system provides for the three well-known dimensions, along with a fourth, time. Considering x,y,z, and t, and realizing that velocity is another way of relating distance over time, we reach the conclusion, in agreement with your indubitable treatise above, that all things move with time. Progressing along, similar to String theory, which may posit that it is possible to travel from one end of the universe to another faster than light, the lesser known Rail theory posits that indeed all things move through the Cartesian coordinates (time included) - on "rails" (Platonic-ally speaking of course). Now, as we know that everything move forward in time, and on rails, the question then becomes, "why cannot one travel back in time?". The reasonable solution to this vexing problem of course, is to reverse the movement, by turning the coordinate system upside down, and going backwards. A problem comes up, in that the rails are in fact old. Some of them, when traversed in the reverse direction become disconnected, and the reverse momentum is led astray. Dr. Osbourne was cognizant of this, in his ode to the problem "tren loco" when he describes the act of diverging from the rails, as if to say he was on an unstable train. Put simply, when traveling back in time, one essentially goes "off the rails", which results in arriving at a destination which is different that which was initially started from, and in fact, in a different universe. In one of the foundational works on the subject, Mr. Zelazny, in his "Chronicles of Amber" describes how this occurs, and the dire consequences, which may ensue. In summary, please refrain from traveling backwards on the "tren loco", as it may result in "deleterious consequences". I hope this helps to clarify why time travel, at least backwards, may not be a desirable plot device in this highly anticipated feature.

@SMBH: I agree; though I prefer the term to DUMB-ASS. Its sounds like you have the basics down; things move through space -with (and forward through) time. FTL travel does have implications regarding time, but in general, those are related to forward time, not traveling back through time. While I am certainly no registered physicist having detailed knowledge of all of the exotic theories relating to time travel, my own, albeit very limited, understanding of these things is such that travel backwards in time is not possible (not that real forward time travel is either). I think others have stated far more eloquently than I can, that backwards time travel, can often seem, to those who frequently enjoy sci-fi, to be an easy way out-for the plot writers. Not that it is always bad, but it can seem gimmicky. My comments above did take some creative license, in the spirit of good humor, and I feel bad if you took it as an insult. In the end, as, others have said, we all will not know what will happen in the movie until we see it. For all anyone knows, your ideas & suggestions may just as well happen as anything else. We'll have to wait and see. BTW: Did you see the eclipse? I just saw if from my house-very awesome. I can see why the ancients would have felt them as omens from the gods. Spectacular!
