Is time travel possible?

Started by Hack Benjamin23 pages

No, I mean, I'm not going to say it's tottaly impossible, but I firmly am convinced time-travel is not probable. And I'll explain why.

Everything, EVERYTHING seems to be a constantly flunctating thing of energy, (no matter how slow) these lines and spheres and unimmaginable by 4-dimensional beings shapes of light, generate energy and move constatly. Now, if time is to exsist alongside space, time must move as well, therfore, time has to rotate simutanously along our minds to exsist. Therfore, time-travel cannot exsist, because that would require every single thing down to the last subatomic neutron to all at the exact same "time" simutanously move at some kindof level of velocirty that exceeds or go's slower then time to move backward or foward, so litteraly, even all the energy in the universe would not be enough to do that, as that IS the universe.

If anyone were to succeed at time travel, I believe they would come to some sortof cosmic hault, and be stuck in an infinite loop outside of space and time, because sense time rotates, if they went into the past time has not happend yet, if they go into the future, time has not yet occured, messing with even the slightest amount of continutal exsistance would have the dire consequince of no exsistance. That'll teach ya'.. 😂

This could fall into wether the past exists or not and if we were to attain the power to travel through time it would tear a hole in the space time continuum and reak havoc on a galactic scale, so we wouldn't try it if we were to notice the repercussions so it doesn't matter if we have the technology or will have it because we wont use it do to that problem, and yes it can cause the user to go into nonexistence because they are just a mass of fleshy bodies and the closest thing we know that could possibly hold the energy to teleport us through time... is 2 black holes or they are at least estimated to have the power but before anything would happen we would be torn to pieces stretched out and flattened quite a few times, and so... theres no point in testing it

Time travel is a strange thing in relativity, since if we travelled higher than the speed of light we would not end up back in time exactly, but back in imaginary time.

For example if we travelled at the double of the speed of light... doing the calculations we should end up 0.58 seconds back in time for each second we stay travelling at that speed, but it is not exactly 0.58 seconds, but the result is 0.58i.. you know... "i" imaginary unity. Travel back in time is get back 0.58 seconds in real units not imaginary.

Maybe this imaginary thing means some other thing, but what ?

i just wish its real sometimes....

That is the question I've been trying to answer. 😱

My sentiments precisely.

Wouldn't that change the future though

Time travel is impossible. Heres a kind of scientific explanation that might sound a little geeky but its true. First of all, time, unlike energy, time is not a physical existance- its just there, ticking away. There is no way to harnass it because nothing in the physical world relates, warps, or has any attachment to it. Secondly, if time travel were possible, every time someone traveled, another universe would be created on a parralel timeline. Think of time as a straight line. Then think of another line branching off of it- that is what would happen when someone time traveled. Another point is that history- past, present, and future, is unrecorded. There is no way to reverse the timeline or warp back to the past because nothing in the universe has the power to CREATE the energy needed to produce an alternate universe. Dont try to understand all of what I said, just trust me. 🙂

I understand better then you know, religoun, science, it takes an abstract mind to understand abstract concepts..

True.

Time travel is impossible.

incorrect. Time travel to the future has already taken place and is a matter of record. This was done years ago by syncing a clock on the ground to one being flown in a high altitiude plane at great speeds. Due to relativity, time slowed down relative to the clock on the plane which was moving at a great speed........the clock had travelled a few hundreths of a second into the future relative to everything else on our planet outside of the plane. A very small step but proved the time travel is not only possible and plausable but also able to be achieved. The only limit to this time travel is speed. If one could sustain a constant speed even a fraction of the speed of light for an extended period of time, great increments of time would be leaped over.

I see nothing scientific about your post.......nor true. It is already based on a premise that was proven wrong years ago.

First of all, time, unlike energy, time is not a physical existance- its just there, ticking away.

Time is indeed physical, it is a coordinate on the fabric of space.

There is no way to harnass it because nothing in the physical world relates, warps, or has any attachment to it.

completely untrue. Time is directly attatched to space as it is one of it's 4 known dimensions. As a matter of fact, the fabric of space is most commonly referred to as space-time. As I'm sure you are aware of, every single bit of matter relates to space....and those bits with enough mass actually warp it.

Secondly, if time travel were possible, every time someone traveled, another universe would be created on a parralel timeline. Think of time as a straight line. Then think of another line branching off of it- that is what would happen when someone time traveled.

rubbish. You watch too much back to the future II. Time or the travel of affects only the matter travelling through it. Relativity. It creates nothing, changes nothing. Quite simply, time slows down for those travelling through it while time passes at the normally constant for those who aren't.

Another point is that history- past, present, and future, is unrecorded.

a better point is that there is no such thing as past, present or future. Those are man made terms to express the intangible sequence of events which once gone (past) or have yet to come (future) do not exist at all.

There is no way to reverse the timeline or warp back to the past because nothing in the universe has the power to CREATE the energy needed to produce an alternate universe.

your entire post so far is completely inaccurate and based soly on a false principle, this statement just screams for you to go back to your physics professor and beg for tutoring. The entire universe is filled with energy. All matter and anti-matter are energy. The question is not creating energy, the energy already in existence is infinite. The question is learning to harnass energy.

Dont try to understand all of what I said, just trust me.

I understood every word you posted and understood if very well to be completely wrong and based off a movie you saw. I wouldn't trust you to help my 10 year old nephew with his science homework.

no offense intended.

Time dilation is not time travel.

once completed it certainly is.

If I leave for one year and return to earth and it's 10 years later, time travel by it's truest definition has occured. During the time I was away, it was not occuring as there was no frame of reference.....but once I came back and gained a reference, I had travelled 9 years into the future.

"Time travel to the future has already taken place and is a matter of record. This was done years ago by syncing a clock on the ground to one being flown in a high altitiude plane at great speeds."
--If you consider that time travel then Im traveling through time right now- just at a normal speed with everybody else. I see your point but I dont think this is the "Time travel" that was reffered too by this thread's starter. I change my thesis: There is no way to travel back or forward to any time in history as desired by any device that we can create. No one will ever be able to see the dinosaurs and you cant just go into the future at will.

Exactly. Not that I believe time travel is possible but even if it were it would be extremely dangerous. Everything happens for a reasons and changing the slightest thing in the past could result in drastic consequences.

💃 time travel is possible if you can reach the spead of light according to einstiens theory of relativity its like 1 day = 4 years

If you could go faster then light you would go back in time, but that is not possible.

I forgot where I heard this, but a group of scientists stripped an electron from an atom and shot it in the opposite direction that the earth is spinning. They performed this experiment to try and prove that you can travel back in time. So anyway only after a mere few seconds I think it was 6-7 seconds the electron stopped spinning and ended up back inside of the atom.

Yeh, relating to my post, they shot the electron 3 times the speed of light.

However, you cannot go faster then the speed of light. As you travel faster your mass increases and your time slows down. At near the speed of light your mass will rise to infinity and your time will time will stand still.
