Possible? Opinions?



I think that everytime you go back, you go into an alternate reality-type deal. Bam.

I think it is possible, but we are far from attaining time travel.

wouldn't there have been a sign of someone traveling back already? or forward?

idk

Everything that has happened with someone going back already has. You can't change the past because it's already happened. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy logic.


Anyone who says that they are from the future would be called crazy and discarded. So who knows, maybe I'm from the future...

I thought that they did a test, and put a clock on a plane and a clock on the ground, and their time didn't match up?

So time travel can be obtained, but only in terms of minutes at most with current technology?

They did that with an atom clock and had it rotating around the earth at a certain moch(3?) and it was a half a second slow then another atom clock on earth.

exactly. That's a theory of physics. All it does is slow time down, not travel back in time. They say if you spend any time near a high mass of gravity you'll age very slowly compared to the rest of everythign not where you are.

I read a couple sci fi books back when I was in college by the author Spider Robinson (wicked name eh?) and his theory on time travel, however ridiculous it may be, is that you can only travel backwards, not forwards. His logic for this is that, since the past has already been written there is only one permutation of it so you can go back. Since the future has yet to be determined and any small thing somebody/thing does will change the future, you can't go forward.

time travel-not possible, if you go fast enoufgh its possible to slow down time (or speed it up for everyone else, however you wana look at it) but you are still always going forward in time, i dont really think time is a straight line like a lot of people make it out to be, perhaps its circular, so in trying to go back in time you will only wind up ahed of yourself.

not to mention nobody has come back from the future, yes the things that would happen afterwards would be as a result that they are here but its not like they couldnt bring a newspaper with them to proove it

o and TheAznInvazn, your correct about the plains, that happened around WW2, not like they had the technology to make it go mach 3 then though.

i think if time travel were possible, going in to the past would be the only way to go. I mean honestly who wants to know every bit of info about their future.

true, i think it would be very interesting to see how people acted in the past, were there always so many lying polititions and crazy people in the world?

then again i would kinda shrivel up and die without modern medicine.....it could be a quick trip right?

on the other hand it would be nice to know what to invest in........

I've heard of that...but that's more of the distance affecting the recording of time, not the changing of time itself, i think. too early for me to really think about it.

Time travel backwards is impossible: Let's say you went back to change something. Anything at all. Let's say you went back to kill Hitler before the Holocaust, for example. Or the terrorists before 911. k, so in present day, you hop into your time machine, go back in time, and do your dead. Bam. Hitler's dead. No Hitler=none of the actions he would have taken will occur, at least not by him. fast forward 60 some years, and you are back in the "present". Key thing: World War Two has never happened, and neither has the Holocaust, at least not by Hitler's doing. The you that would have climbed into the time machine now has no reason to do so. Hitler is a no-name, infamous for nothing because someone killed him before he had a chance to gain his power and his name. thus, a time paradox, because if you don't go back in time to kill him, the events will happen, and if the events happen, then you will choose to go back to kill him, but if you kill him he won't be important enough for you to kill him....and that is the time/space fabric ripping itself a new one.

Time travel forward would be possible i guess, it would be most likely by literally freezing an individual themselves rather than "speeding up" time, the individual is stopped in every way possible, heartbeat, lungs, bodily functions, everything, and is for all intents and purposes more than dead, until some day in the future they develop the ability to take a person's body from 0 Kelvin to body temperature quick enough to not damage all the organs. First, though, we have to find out how to get a body to 0 Kelvin....higher temperatures would work, I'm guessing, but then you run the risk of having an "expiration date", ie the body will shut down quicker than the freezing process can take date, the colder the temperature (and the faster the freezing is done) the better chances are you will survive, and for longer periods of time.

There are also black hole theories, that if a space ship was to orbit a black hole just right and stay in orbit, it would slow down the ship enough (and all the molecules inside of it) so that time seemed to fly? Not too sure on that one, seems possible.

Basically, time travel backwards is impossible, but time travel forwards isn't, as long as you stop molecular movement in a single body (not the rest of the world) and then reactivate the cells, both processes being done very, very quickly

Edit: Time, as we know it, is in minutes and seconds, hours and days. In reality, it is measure in how fast a certain molecule travels under certain conditions, IE a molecular clock tracks the radioactive decay of an isotope, if i'm not mistaken? If you can slow down/speed up the process in which the isotope radioactively decays, have you really sped up time, or have you just made your clock run faster :P
