    I'm of the belief that he actually flew around the whole universe, but the movie only showed him flying around earth because people wouldn't be able to comprehend him flying around the whole of existence.

    I mean, c'mon - he's Superman!
    <

    and where does superman derive his "super" powers from? he most certainly CANNOT fly around the universe...

    >I'm no expert, so whatever you say. The question is: Did he also go back in time?

    ONLY SUPERMAN HIMSELF WENT BACK IN TIME!!! he used time travel theory based on relativity, using the earths gravity he propelled himself faster than the speed of light and therefore traveled back in time...

    God you people are dense...

    awww, you ruined my fun of watching them make fools of themselves.

    after all, programmers are mathematicians, since computers only understand numbers... if they canna figure out simple concepts like this, then those of us that can have more work coming our way.

    though, the earth's gravitational well isn't strong enough to actually do this. he would have had to use the sun itself.

    It's impossible to go faster than the speed of light. Besides, using that you can only go forwards. It's the same as being close to a black hole.
    The general relativity theory only says that the closer to the speed of light you travel, the slower time passes for you. This doesn't mean that once you pass the speed of light (which by that same theory is impossible) you go backwards. At the speed of light, you stop (in time) and therefore connot travel any faster.

    On the contrary. Ever seen Space Balls? They went "PLAID", baby!

    maybe you should spend less time on other's theory's and come
    up with your own.

    besides you can go faster then the speed of light acorrding to
    that theory if your already going faster then it .


    anyways a point id like to make, is if the BIG BANG THEORY
    is correct, how do you explain the universe going from
    the tiniest of particles, to billions of miles across in less
    then a second, that would appear to be faster then the speed
    of light?

    General relativity doesn't work for immediately after the BB, IIRC.

    doesnt work until immediatly after?

    if that what you ment, then ok.

    but if the theory can be false at certian time period,
    then it can be false now, or in the future.

    so i think there a way to do it, we will find it.
