01:11 <@Rhialto> too bad the Doppler effect doesn't work in reverse, or you could travel by red and blueshifting
01:36 <@Nyar> Ahhh, but that's not a phase shift, that's a frequency shift.
01:36 <@Nyar> A phase-shift is a change in time displacment, not in base frequency.
01:39 <@Rhialto> well I realised that after I made my previous remark, but then one thought led to another
01:40 <@Rhialto> taking into account most physical processes are reversible, combining it with Doppler shift...
01:40 <@Nyar> You do realise that we just both condemned ourselves forever as geeks, don't you?
01:40 <@Rhialto> I knew that a long time ago...
01:40 <@Nyar> Rhialto - surely that should contradict entropy?
