Physics won't allow us to travel back in time. Welcome to 2016. We can live on forever in reruns. Get drunk with power, over play your hand and lose the next election. Democracy is a compromise.

The question is does color exist. One opinion is that light is just electric pulses and magnetic pulses, color doesn't really exist. My opinion is that light or electromagnetic radiation comes in different frequencies, our eyes and brain can detect and differentiate between some frequencies of light, we call them colors. Color exists. If you smell an orange with your eyes closed do you know what frequency of light is bouncing off of it?
