Time Travel is a famous and well known part of science-fiction, but can it actually exist? I don't know if it is possible to travel back in time, like in the Back to the Future movies. Based on the Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein it's possible to travel forward in time because of time distortion. Like one second for the person next to you is actually one minute to you or vice versa. This will cause you to move forward in time faster than those around you, but for humans the ratio between how fast you're moving in time to the actual time that's passing isn't that big and it doesn't last long too. So, does anyone think it's possible?
Hmm... That's a very intereting topic... O_o As much as I want this to be true, I'm gonna have to say no... Even if there IS a way to travel into the future, we still have not found a way to make a good machine to do it... and I don't think it's theoretically possible to travel BACK in time, considering the fact that there's no proven way on how you could possibly do that...
lol you got that from me in that "interesting experiment" post ^ ^ Yeah... getting to light speed is hard... and i heard it hurts ^ ^
Theoretically it's not possible to reach the speed of light using any man made vehicle. And even if you were able to travel at the speed of light your body tear itself apart, I think.
No, no no no no no, Just no. The only way to break the space time continuum is to jump through a worm hole and those are very, rare, unstable, their exit point is uncalcuable, and stuff like that. That would be the only true way to do it with modern machines and it is very very risky. As for the speed of light idea, lets assume its true, then yes time travel is possible because as you travel at the speed of light time slows down for you but stays constant for the rest, so lets say you travel to another galaxy at the speed of light, and return right away then by the time you get back to earth then a time have elapsed from about 2-1000000000 years. Thats how speed of light works, and as I explained in the other thread, C is impossible. So there it is. I don't think so at all.
Time is defined to be the intervals between events and to show quantification of motion. its not just a human concept is an omnipresent force.
Well by slowing ourselves down we travel forwards in time. (My vote is for launching a cryogenic pod into space) As for backwards it's hard to tell. Currently it is flat impossable, but time is very abstract so who's to really say in the end. If we do make it work I don't think it will work how media tells us it will. You end up with the butterfly effect with paradoxs the way we see it now.
I remember a theory of how to travel forward in time...first you need an extremely powerful and massive particle accelerator (it would most likely be in space because of it's size and energy requirements) then after mashing some particles together you get...a cloud of plasma that is from what I remember a couple trillion degrees farenhiet/ celcius (sorry I can't spell it)...then transfer a massive amount of energy in the cloud/ plasma thing to stabilize it and there you go! You now have something that will take you through time AND most likely kill you at the same time. Unless we get the awesome technology only seen in movies we will die/be obliterated if we try to move through time. Only energy can go at the speed of light/faster than speed of light without being annialated. I don't think it is theoritically possible to go BACK in time...but who knows.
I reckon we would have to master teleportation to start experimenting with time travel. Dunno, just the way i would see them working toward it I heard it takes a massive amount of energy to move one molecule a few centimetres away so i doubt anything like that is possible :( Though i hopefully have another 60 years to live so maybe...? :)
I think some day it'll be possible to go forward, but not backward. If I couldn't go back, I wouldn't wanna go forward. It makes great sci-fi, but reality? I dunno...
Wormhole technically...black holes are different but might produce the same effect...or just obliterate you and transport your particles somewhere else most likely without taking you through time...but nobody knows what happens to you (other than you being ripped to peices) in a black hole. The wormhole is the one we need to use because we are more likely to not be obliterated in it(I still think either way we first need a way to actually SURVIVE time travel/teleportation).
