Hello. What is your opinion on Time Travel?
I believe it's not impossible, but very very very very very very difficult to achieve.

Einstein proved its impossible.
But he didnt come to a conclusion on looking at the future.

Einstein only came up with a theory, not a fact.
Stephen hawking has mentioned time travel many times, and here is one of his latest quotes.

No. There are conjectures, theories and theorems.
A conjecture is a wild guess, speculation, intuition.
A theory is something that is backed up by some observations, calculations, etc. It can be proven or disproven.
A theorem is something that is proven and accepted as truth.

I honestly think time travel would be the most important invention in the world and at the same time, the worst.
I mean, that would mess up the whole world having people from the future and the past in the present. The world would not be itself again.

Dont believe everything you see.. you cant go through a time hole when you enter one you would be torn apart
It's been speculated that if one could by some means not get torn apart the by black hole that you may be ejected through a white hole somewhere else in the universe.
I say it's a load of shit. A black hole is not actually a hole in space an time, it's just the remnants of a massive star that went super nova and now has a such a powerful gravitational field that, as dfighter said, prevents even photons from escaping, since photons can't escape light is not reflected by the black hole so it cannot be seen.

I am not a dumb-ass but i am trying to say that when u make something please don't use other theories , don't use einstein theory's because Einstein theory's are too good encrypted , he made them simple but their are not simple as he told them.They are some thoughts before that!

Okay, point A: Please use spaces between sentences and structure your paragraphs.
Point B: If you went back in time and killed your grandfather, you would be alive for a while, but time would catch up with you and eventually just make you disappear.
Point C: It's the BIG BANG, and there was different chemicals and elements and stuff in the air, and one day, it decided to go BANG! Amirite?
Point D: Time is one of the seven fundamental physical QUANTITIES. Without time, nothing would be happening, the universe wouldn't of been created, because there wasn't time for the big bang to happen. Technically, time is also non-existant, just a clever way of...remembering things?
Point E: Correct, you would need a TREMENDOUS amount of energy, possibly just about enough energy to implode a small star system, because to go back in forward in time is like The Butterfly Effect: the chances it would actually work is about 1 in a Googol.
My last point would be that if time travel is ever invented, the universe would most likely cease to exist. The slightest change to the past, would completely alter the course of the future.

This might be off topic but if you go fast enough in space, time will slow down. Ex.
Lets say i left off into space going "near" the speed of light somehow, and left for about 10 years, about 80 or so years would have passed, maby more or maby less.
Time travel to is simply impossible, not because we don't have the ability to, but because we just can't. The laws of physics just won't allow it.
Time travel to the future is possible and easier than one might think, all you need to do is travel near the speed of light, if you were on a train traveling near the speed of light (it's not possible to travel AT the speed of light) time would slow down for everyone inside, if you were on the train for a few weeks of your time, years would have gone by outside the train, lo and behold you are in the future.
So yes, what the above poster said, but you can time travel on Earth as well as in space. The same can also be accomplished by orbiting a black hole.
Dude, it's totally possible, i saw it in an Austin Powers movie..
Stelios112
06-17-2010, 07:58 AM
You can time-travel!But you can never go to the past!Law's of physic's say that!But you can speed up the time if Ur body is in a very very-high-high-speed metro that the speed of the metro almost reach the speed of light , everything in the metro will slow down , time will slow down to protect the speed limit!In conclusion , if someone ever make a time machine the machine will just just go the feature.
E.X 1 week in the metro = 100 years later in the feature
It's 100% Possible!
We need a mass power to reach that speed!

but yeah i completely beleive its possible. We would need a massive energy source or a mass orbit in space going near the speed of light, but would be very dangerous because it would not be safe in space, shit is everywhere, if you were to get hit by a couple pebbles going at incredible speeds due to orbits, or be out there to long, you would easily die, the main thing keeping us alive on earth is the atmosphere blocking the uv rays from the sun. There is gold in the astronaut suits they use in space to keep the uv rays out. Very expensive, then getting back to earth is another story.

06-18-2010, 02:54 PM
Yes, also, there are many things blocking Time Travel, such as Paradoxes (especially The Grandfather Paradox), also, you wouldn't be able to travel back to the original time process, because you would be in the future, and backwards time travel is 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999^1000 0000000000% impossible.

Time travel to the future to the future is easily possible, we've achieved it already in very small increments.
When you're travelling in the vacuum of space, at a speed rate different than that of the Earth's, you, and everything with you, will age at what is to you x amount of years. Let's say two. So from your point of view, two years have passed, and you've aged in accordance to those two years. Now let's say you came back to Earth after what was to you, two years. When you land you would find that about three years passed on Earth. Although scientifically, you only aged two years, everyone on Earth aged three. This has a complex explanation I'm not in the mood for typing.
Time travel to the past is also possible, but one million times more complex and difficult.

Time travel to the past isn't possible, it creates paradoxes.
Imagine this, you stand in a room assembling a hand gun, say a Colt M1911, when you finish you go back in time and kill yourself before you finish putting the gun together. So what happened? You killed yourself therefore you don't exist anymore, but you don't exist so how could you have killed yourself?Even more so, you died before putting the gun together so how did you shoot yourself?
Just like we've all seen in the movies and on TV too. You kill your father so you cease to exist, but you don't exist so how could you have killed him?
xtavie
06-22-2010, 01:41 AM
That doesn't mean it's impossible. It means that it's extremely dangerous, and threatens to unravel space and time.
The laws of physics will not allow time travel to the past.
http://www.livescience.com/technology/070307_time_travel.html
Time travel to the past has been theorized as possible by traveling faster then a the speed of light (also impossible) and using a black hole (you can't get close enough to one to use it for time travel without dying) too, but those methods are also impossible. Religious people make such bad scientists.

Time-Travel it might be possible. Think about astronauts. If they stay a good period of time in space, their bodies growing it's slowed. Also, if you reach the limit of sound speed, your body growing it's slowed (a bit, but it is) also. So, for Time-Travel you must reach the appropiate speed of light (99,99%) traveling in space (in circle) and land back of Earth. It this time, the life on Earth is going normal, but yours it's slowed down = live longer = time-travel.
For exemple: 10 years of space travelling = 100/1000 years on Earth.
I hope I made myself understood.
It's just a theory.

Time moves slower when you are near a large mass. This is why time is faster in earth's orbit then it is on Earth. The speed of light is unobtainable, no amount of technology will change that as it stands for the moment. We can only theoretically reach 99.9% the speed of light with the correct technology.
So for example, if you somehow managed to sustain a fair distance away from a mass that is larger than earth (i.e. Black Holes) and traveled around the mass at the speed of light, time would be slowed down for the objects moving at the speed of light. Not only would growth of the body be slowed, but so will thoughts and movements.

Time traveling requires a traversable wormhole and negative energy.
The only way to actually be able to time travel is by accelerating one end of the wormhole at the speed of light. No need to go any further then saying this because we can't travel at the speed of light well not yet anyways.

We can't ever travel at the speed of light. Physics completely disproves it's possibility. As far as wormholes, it can produce feedback, which could in turn destroy everything.

"Time Travel". How can you travel something that we don't even know exists? Time as far as we know it is only a human creation (i.e. your clock will tell you the time. You can also change the time on your clock). Just because of that; it probably isn't possible. How can you speed up time and space for just ONE person while keeping the entire world intact? Time travel sounds dangerous when you think of that. I don't think you can create more than one instance of the universe.
As far as I believe, if you do go forward or back in to time: wouldn't everything else? IF that were the case, you would probably need something that travels much faster than light and bigger than the universe.

Forward: Not Possible, How can you travel to something thats not there? I'd like to see you drive over to New Florida...
Back: Plausible, This seems possible..but there is huge risks to it. Just from being there you must have some kind of emission and for all we know that the emission alone of getting there and being there could create a seperate timeline and skewer time..What if two timelines can't exist and they end up colliding with each other ultimately destroying time? Just too much we don't KNOW for a FACT, so I personally think we should never achieve it..Who knows, maybe Einstein did achieve it but he realized how badly it could impact everything and destroyed his progress?

I am wrong, but I read that steven hawdkid's, or what ever his name is, post, wall of text, what ever! You name it. :P pretty interresting, although, I don't think traveling trough worm holes, would be possible. Hard to believe it XD. But you never know do ya, might be possible. The speed thing sounds cool, but can you send back reports after you traveling, or while? Can you? I don't think so. I don't think you are able to go back in the past. As mentioned, that will create a paradox. And that makes time traveling uninterresting for me :P Because rly, although I might travel with, if my family did so. Yeah. Maybe if I had a misserable life, or something :P. Maybe I got that, but bah. Worth it ;D. Afterall, you should be glad for what you got, and not sad for you haven't got.

Wormholes could cause feedback eventually destroying everything.
Traveling around a large mass at 99.99% the speed of light slows your time down, while the rest of the world advances at the normal rate.
Traveling back in time isn't possible and contains many paradoxes.
So at most, you could consider time travel to be impossible, but the idea of slowing down time plausible.

Einstein proved its impossible.
A famos mathmatician proved that planes would never be able to fly, yet that still happened.

Yeah, back in the late 1800s. People thought that lobotomies and ECT were a good idea as late as the 1940s and 50s.

It is human perception.
So basically you are saying that time actually does not exist ? I disagree.

The concept of time is something we created. It's not there really, it's simply a way to make lives easier for us.

If time did not exist (The way it's defined) Everything would happen at an instant. The big bang (Those who believe in that). All that would have been created and destroyed exactly at the same time. That is how our time is defined.

Time is a perception of reality. An instant is a measurement of time, thus you are trying to say time is time because it defines its own meaning.

The reason why time is there is because the moment I drop a ball I have in my hand it takes it this many seconds to fall on the floor. Now if we remove "time" away from this ball and this ball shall follow the exact same path. We will not see the ball fall, but it will instantly be down on the floor, therefor time exists. Just a basic example. It can get more complicated then that. But I since I'm a horrible person to explain exactly what I mean I'll leave it at that, for now.

Didn't someone find a human footprint that dates back 100 million years? (Not sure if it's true, but if it is, would that be proof of time travel in the future?)

I get you, and you are 100% right. Many people think of "time" like in seconds, minutes. And there for something we invented. That is true, but 'time' is also a factor, there is no exactly definition of it. Seconds are just something we invented to set words on it. I am even worse than you :P

Exactly, you said it better than I did though ;). And my explanation on the ball is not 100% correct. It would basically show every "frame" of the ball from point A to B. As you would when you animate every frame to make the character move, imagine you would see every frame on one picture.

Hmm, (Oh, yes I now its two weeks old..but some subjects should never be "archived" in my opinion) thought about this a lot more and read into some things..In my view of it, you can not travel into the past due to time being fluid and ever-moving..Ever heard of "Time waits for no-man"?. Exactly my point. Now into the future..possible. It is all on how you term "Travelling into the future", If you mean being able to "go into the future"..Yes.
And what I meant by that is some may think: "I can travel into the future and simply return", which implies being able to travel into the past because the future now becomes your present. According to some theories (well, actually some proven due to what was it..the SuperCollider and etc?) you may change your perception on time due to it being relative. You may reach extreme speeds near the speed of light, but the speed of light..well, it doesn't like other players. So, it basically warps your perception on time to make you slower in your perception...So your not technically at the Speed of light, just right below it..So as you go "faster", time goes slower. Also, the effects of gravity on time. (Proven by the satellites I believe, due to their times slowly altering in low-gravity orbit) That time basically slows down the more gravity there is. So, essentially with these two theories (or..well, "proven facts" I guess you could say) you could time travel: By slowing down yourself so what seems like minutes..or years to you is actually centuries in our "normal time".
The wormholes on T.V...I believe it is just science fiction, but could hold plausible for blackholes. Blackholes are extreme gravity wells basically that light can't even escape? Well, where does the blackhole go?..Exactly, we don't know..What if the reason we can't track them is because they go into the EXTREME "future"? Because of the massive gravity wouldn't it slow down time EXTREMELY? Well, if you could figure out a way to not get crushed by the blackhole by all the gravity. Maybe just approach one far enough to be able to force your way out of it, but still have a gravitational effect on you strong enough to "Time Travel" at the same time..
Hate to say it, but probably..Most of these theories and ideas we all have now, we will never see put into any true real world situation just like our generations before us. Pity..We are born, we just put ourselves through this thing called life..Invent new ways for others to advance themselves while wasting our time...Then we die, and never see, feel, think again.. (Well, in my opinion...Not trying to get into the religious debate here, that all goes: HERE (http://www.ac-web.org/forums/showthread.php?t=114774))

i heard years ago that people had discovered a way to travel through time. sure, there will always be disbelievers. some people even believe that the world is flat despite the fact that it have been proven that it is round. my point is that disbelief exists at all times in parts of the population. disbelievers is difficult to affect. i believe in time travel though as well as the ability to travel faster than the speed of light.(though that might require anti matter.)

Oh really just one thing ? You were the one to control time and you would just go back once and change something and thats it ? I find that hard to believe. Of course you would do something crazy, then just go back in time and not do it again. :) I know you would do that. :)

I wouldn't exactly recommend going back in time to change something... you know, because "one small change in the past, can become a humongous change in the future"... or something.
other than that, I've got a lot I want to change!

If we all were thinking that, where would we be ? if everyone were thinking like you no one would take any chances. That would be boring wouldn't it ? Plus if you could go back and forth in time, we could finally end the long lasting battle about religion. :O

You kids can't time travel.
If you travel at the speed of light, you will be getting from point A to point B FASTER than.. lets say walking.
It is just like getting into a car and going to the store. Your getting there faster then walking. That isn't time traveling.
Time will still be going the same rate.
