Is Time Travel Possible?

[Jerry Chiappetta- Jr.]

Is time travel possible? In my recently released song; STUCK IN BETWEEN I think it's safe to say that I for one believe. Can anyone prove that time travel is not possible? Will check for your comment / reply.

There is no evidence that it is possible to travel backwards in time, but there is no lack of theories which suggest this. One example is Kurt Gödel's "rotating universe" in which there would be pockets of spacetime where the arrow of time is pointing backwards.

 

However, time travel into the future is possible. We travel steadily at one second per second.

Well, there's the cute answer and the serious answer.

 

Cute answer: "YES!" Just sit down in this chair and stare at the clock. See the second hand going around? You're traveling into the future!! :phones:

 

Serious answer: "no." Has anybody proved this? Don't have to, because nobody has proved that it CAN happen. Nobody has come up with a PRACTICAL way of doing it. Yes, mathematicians have come up with equations that show it is theoretically possible, but only if you can manipulate black holes, convert trillions of tons of matter into pure energy in mere nanoseconds, create spinning bars of pure neutronium several light years in length and on and on. If you can't do these things, then the Laws of Physics give no hope at all of time travel.

You are suggesting time is linear then Pyrotex. :phones:

Its not in the distant planets from the Universe I come from....:eek: ;)

 

Time??

What is this Earthly concept of time??

I would like to direct everyone's attention to my Username if they care to get a relatively accurate understanding of my view on the topic. :phones:

Silence, Racxor45-Alpha^<&*&>. These primitive carbon lifeforms are not ready for that kind of knowledge, even if you are glixbling it in the form of a joke. And only YOU would call those specks of gartfloynex, "planets". Hah! They are but flakes of shexfllingning next to the toroidal fnortner that *I* come from! :phones:

Ok.., Mr. Center of Attention :eek:

 

InfiniteNow?

Relates to time-travel how?

[InfiniteNow]

Racoon,

 

Let me ask you first... How does the concept of Now relate to time travel for you?

Racoon,

Now is here Now

and 10 years ago, was "Now" to me then as well.

 

10 years from this moment, will be "Now" then too...

 

Time is always Now.

Next time someone asks me what time it is, I'll say "Now" :eek:

[InfiniteNow]

That's my answer too. :phones:

I had another dream on a bit of a physics theory.

 

There was a dream I had in the past where friends and I were outside, a string came down all vibrating and stuck to my friend and picked him up in the air. Everyone was yelling what the hell is it, and I told them its gravity. LOL, then I went and realised there is a string theory.. it was kind of wierd.

 

Anyhow. This theoretical dream that was related to time travel and grand unifying theory, led me to furthering the ideas.

 

So to kind of shoot the **** here, I am going to put it out there.

 

The universe is seen through out eyes in nearly infinite versions of time. Nothing appears as it is, since photon frequencies take time to pass distance. They do not however experience a time within themselves. They travel as they are untill something interacts with there velocity, like matter. A photon however does not appear to contain data, but only energy. Data is transfered in frequency of this energy, a mulptiple collection of on and offs of energy fronts. (not to unlike computer code).

 

Now to get more related to the time and idea. The universe is versions of energy. Both matter and energy are one. When something does not experience time, it is at what we call "C" and in high velocity motion. Where as things that appear to have time, that is they change, as (our consciousness interpration of time) time goes by. Matter changes over time and energy appears to not. The difference between these two is that they exist on different sides of of an equation or, chart, seperated by time, if that is explaind right. Energy appears to exist in a singularity dimension, a "ZERO TIME" scale of time and Because of this singularity, they function at C. Matter is outside of this singularity, and operates in a curve of the time medium relavent to its energy?

 

So if we were to draw a graph here showing time and where / how existence operates on its curve. It starts out flat as infinity, the basic rest version of time flow and slowly curves upwards untill reaching a perfectly vertical orientation. Light energy is drawn on the point of vertical, and versions of matter, are plotted along the curvature of the time in a 2d represenation like this.

 

The visual I had in the dream is that relative motion is not important and illusionary. All things are a placing of where they are in time bend.

So we can imagine in a 3D representation, the zero-point is the time in frozen singularity, anywhere outwards on this curve (like einstiens topolofy of gravity) is a version of time, which is directly related to its energy. As you drag an atom from the outside of the curve towards the center zero point, it will act in space as a speeding up atom, moving towards time singularity and eventually attempting to become what is light energy. But it cant happen like this because it must pass through a dimension of sorts to transform into the energy of singularity time flow.

 

Now I know how math can be a powerful tool, it would probably be able to show how to flow, on the opposite side, or opposite direction of this zero point. As to pass through it, to describe time travel.

 

I know far to little to calculate any of this theory but try to follow the best logic I can from what I've learned from other theories and what not. But, I tried to understand how gravity, and motion, and magnetism would be plotted in this to generate mass and force.

See in this idea, anything that is in change, is in time, and has what we call mass, where anything that is in the singularity proposaly has no mass. Gravity is in flow time, and may be drawn as a curve perpendicular to the time curve, also capable of reaching singularity, and tied into time.

motion and posisitioning is very hard to explain, things are where they are but are not really anywhere special in the universe that could be infinite.

magnatism could be plotted in here aswell.. but I really dont know where to begin.

 

So at the existence of a higher dimension, everything in space can be imagined as where it is posistioned on the scale from a center outwards. Where ever something is traveling it wants to go in a strait line. Its posistion in space is on which ring around the center it is placed on. This ring can be taken apart and calculated into a 3d space and whatever was on that ring can be posistioned in space in its designated area, which is nowhere important on a ring, no side, no middle. The movement of objects in space is not the motion around the ring (the ring means a designated point on the time curve, kinetic energy level), but the movement towards middle or falling out to outside of the zero-point to infinite point graph.

So when you travel in space you only feel a force when you accelerate, this is when you are climbing the (hill) graph towards the center, pushing into time. As your energy increases you are moving inwards towards singularity. So I suppose as you see an object moving away from you it is not moving away, but it is in a different time ring.

This is difficult on the mind to imagine.

But all that happens from our perspective, is a cycle of energy (matter or light) moving in a nice flow in a time curve, changing all the time, and cycling back and forth from matter to energy.

How one can explain the direction you are going in space.. If you were flying through space and got hit by a rock that was traveling faster than you and hit your ship in the backside. Both you and the rock are on different points of the graph because of different velocities, but were able to collide because they aligned into the same directin vector on the graph , is what I suppose. As if there is a strait line coming from the center outwards, when the two objects, the ship and rock, align into this strait line they are in the same posistion. (possibly.)

 

I will leave it there since its getting a litte complicated and too much guess work. anyhow.

 

What sparked this idea was realising that matter is not forever, it always changes, and can dissapear and leave behind its existence in light form, where it can be cycled back through and interpreted by intelligence to see what happened. Light remains as it is untill caught up in a bend of time flow, and matter changes constantly as it is in the bend of time. That which is plotted on a point in the curve has mass and its inertia is from jumping up the rings of time so to speak.

Can anyone prove that time travel is not possible?

 

What is time?

Time is not a physical thing.

Time is relative movement.

If everything stop moving....time would stop.

normaly, movement follow the laws of nature.

If you release a ball over the ground...it will fall down.

If you could somehow get it back up (like picking it up), then time would not have gone backwards for it. The rest of the world have moved to.

To "truly" travel in time you would have to "control" everything that exist.

As that is not possible....you cant travel in time.

 

I think that clears it up :)

[InfiniteNow]

Can anyone prove that time travel is not possible?

This is a common approach to questions, most often in the Theology threads, however, quite simply one cannot prove that something does not exist.

 

 

Cheers. :cup

 

 

EDIT: I'm wrong. Please see below.

[niin]

quite simply one cannot prove that something does not exist.

 

I can prove that people that eat iron balls the size of the moon does not exist.

I compare the size of each and say...the ball is to big for people to eat.

 

So it is possible to "prove" that something does not exist.

 

Did i overlook anything? :hihi:

[InfiniteNow]

I hereby retract my previous statement. It seems I was quite wrong.

The most cursory of glances is sufficient to establish that there

is no elephant in my bedroom and the same glance proves that

there is a bed in the room. Slightly more rigorous inspection

ascertains the nonexistence of a starlet in my bedroom. It might

be quite arduous to show that there are no ants in the room, but

it could be done. Indeed, it might be just as difficult to show

that there _are_ ants in the bedroom; it is possible that neither

the negative nor the affirmative claim may be resolved until

examination of that last cubic inch is complete. These simple

and direct (unproblematic) cases of proving nonexistence contain

some extremely important points.

Excellent argument!! I wish I had thought of that!! Hats off to you, Niin. :naughty:

What do mean you hadn't thought of that? :hihi:

I think its about time we discuss what time is! :naughty: :hihi:
