PLUTONIUM! Or, you know, lightning. Either way.

Very much so. Though I kind of liked the AI character thing. The rest of the changes were pointlessly terrible.

Thank you. Your fees will be paid by midnight EST on Monday.

Why do you assume superluminal speeds are the only way to time-travel?

Confusing similarity. My trademark lawyers will be contacting you shortly.

Hmm...I don't know. If it doesn't work for some reason, I'm sure it shouldn't be too difficult to modify the typewriter so that it works while looking the same (no one sees the insides except for the hammer). Trying to get the person to take the paper with them isn't reliable at all.

Possibly. No need to kill anyone, though. You could just spend the rest of your life going back to the founders of all modern religions and convincing them they're wrong (probably mostly by educating them on what those gaps in their understanding are). Sure, you're not likely to eradicate the idea completely, but you…

Whoo, high-res flexiLED* displays!

Well, maybe not necessarily. They just need to make all the effects temporary. For example, they could make a typewriter that uses disappearing ink and, when nothing is typed for a certain amount of time, it auto-feeds the paper back to the starting position. The mirror and sounds are just images on a screen and…

Although eradicating the idea of God would be a possible interpretation of his post...

There may be a gene that makes you more likely to be religious. There are also genes that make you more likely to be an alcoholic, but that doesn't mean alcoholism is good, necessary, or even mostly genetic. I'd like to see some sources of any reputable researcher who thinks society would not have evolved without…

If it's called "Smart Glass", it better have one of those fancy new-ish transparent LCD displays. Otherwise, the name is misleading and should be changed to avoid dashing all my futuristic design hopes and dreams.

Religion has been around longer than atheism? Where did you hear that? People are born atheists. No baby believes in anything except instincts, especially not a god. Gods were invented by people, and as such, have existed for strictly less time than atheism.

That's not at all how the book went. The Hollywood treatment didn't work at all for that.

"Not just religion". Fixed that for you. Religion is nothing more than political power play half the time, and a fill-in-the-gaps explanation for the unknown the other half. Atheists cause war; theists cause war. Humans of all kinds cause war. However, far more wars and murders have been started in the NAME of…

Quiet, Mels. You didn't exist until the writers decided you should.

Never stop the Black Death. It's the only reason Shakespeare is known; without it, he's just be a 2-bit actor no one has ever heard of.

Stop. Calling. Them. Holograms. When. They're. Not. HOLO.

Probably. The film just adds a meta-artistic element to the concept.

I know. What a shitty piece of art. It should be considered vandalism, like defecating property.
