  Time Warp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Time Warp is a dance featured in the cult film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, performed during the chorus of the song of the same name.
The song is both an example and a parody of the dance song genre in which much of the content of the song is given over to dance step instructions.
Although the cinema disbanded, the tradition remains to teach new freshman the Time Warp and dance it to the Cal Marching Band's rendition of the song at the orientation programs over the summer.

 Time warp supplement
Dynamic time warping is a variety of time series alignment algorithm developed originally for speech recognition in the 1970s (Sakoe and Chiba, 1978; Velichko and Zagoruyko, 1970).
In the text of the article, we show that time warping produces alignments that are expected given the series being compared, and explore the impacts of numbers of genes and measurement noise on the stability and quality of alignments.
In fact, the warping of the elu half series exhibits a perfect non-alignment: the entire first half of the series is compexed against the first time point of the second half, and then the second half series is compexed against the last first half time point (see Half series alignments).

 Time Travel
The main factors which separate time warps from other methods is that a time warp can be a stable gateway and that the traveler is still directly linked to his "home" time.
Stable time warps tend to resemble little more than a hole in the air, the other side of which is in the same location in space but not in time.
Time Away: In the time warp method of time travel, the "clock is ticking" on a one-for-one basis as long as the gateway remains open.

 ECT: Time Warp
It used to be common for each city to keep its own time according to the position of the Sun in the sky.
It is the time it takes for the Sun to appear to go all around the world, or in other words, the time it takes the world to spin once.
The establishment of standard time zones is intimately linked with the establishment of the standard grid of latitude and longitude.

 Perspectives on Faster-than-Light and Time Travel (warp drive) Technologies Circa 2400 AD-2450 AD
The infamous 'grandfather paradox' of time travel has been proven not to exist at all(the most famous example is that of a time traveler disrupting causality by killing their grandfather before they themselves are born).
And even if the traveler's natural momentum tended to be in the same direction as his world at time of jump, and the traveler was headed for the future, he would still miss the target since it is unlikely normal physics would apply to him while in the time jump.
Since it appears future time travelers will not be concerned about affecting their own timeline by making changes to ours, they might feel free to interfere greatly with our affairs, both covertly and overtly.

Toronto's Time Warp is not only one of Canada's longest-lived jazz groups [over fifteen years], but also one of the most artistically significant.

The avalanche of Time Warp fan mail and children-voted state reading awards for the Time Warps are the happy proof that these early chapter books have found their readers.

 Time Warp Operating System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Time Warp Operating System (TWOS) is a special purpose operating system designed to run parallel discrete event simulations with maximum efficiency on parallel or distributed computers.
When the objects are run in parallel on different nodes, it is generally necessary to synchronize them in some manner so that the simulation does not produce improper results due to one object running too far ahead of another.
Under Time Warp, when it is determined that a causality error has occurred, the offending object is rolled back in time, and any messages it may have sent during that time are canceled.
