Time travel

Spirit Of '77:

it's not possible. that idea makes just about as much sense as the christian religion.

first of all, the way we keep track of time is a man made creation and is therefore only "in line" with the earth because we decided it is. so there's no way that it would suddenly be like, 2500, unless we randomly decieded it was.

next, even if you went through some sort of portal or something, you wouldnt be in a different time, just a different place. your biological clock would still be the same, and therefore you would still be in the same time. everyone around you may think they're in the year 2042, but to you it's still 2005.

you can't go back and forth between times at the same place because to go into the future you'd have to skip over all sorts of things that are suppossed to happen. so therefore, even if you did get there, it wouldnt be what it would actually be if you were to actually live through all that time and get there.

and to go to the past you'd have to erase all the time that has happened after that. and you can't erase things that have happened to the earth, you can't resurrect the long past dead, and you couldn't re-live the exact same thing the exact same way.


that probably makes absolutley no sense. but i know what i'm getting at...

hi again:

well if you circled the earth a few good times at a high speed and say, you circled it like 4 times in like 10 hours, you would be 4 days older than the people who didnt circle the earth 4 times in 10 hours, wouldnt you?

it's physically impossible. there isnt enough particles in the universe to make it happen.

[is a science geek]

well. we have 10 dimensions--9 space, one time.
probability says thats about right.
and then there's string theory, thats 3 dimensions of space and one dimension of time. does that change things? it condenses the space dimensions to those we can observe in nature. does it affect how we view time travel?
i dont know. will look into it though.
because i too am a science geek.

10 dimensions? i never knew there were that many. theres the thing with worm holes, which is largely to do with the different dimensions. theres a quote from the physicist Sagan which says that to get from one place/time to another, if they are so far apart that it would take more than a generational time, even going the speed of light to get from one to the other, so instead we must use a tunnel [wormhole] that goes through another dimension to get from one point to the other.

But what if u could travel abck to see what happened but you were invisible to everyone so you dditn effect anyone or anything just there to experience the feel not to be intereacting just to see that would be cool but effecting ur future is a dangerous thing becuase something that wasnt meant to happen would probably happy and it could be a catastrophe

it has nothing to do with time zones by the way, time travel is impossible on Earth alone, you woudl have to go into space to do it

does no one get the science channel???? there was a two hour special on time travel last Thursday on channel 173

no, the only way to do it is through a worm hole
they have not found a way to make them big enough for humans
and the tests they've run, yes, you are visable (if your only resource is teh second Harry Potter.....nevermind

we know what you're getting to, don't think you have some great mind we cannot comprehend, and don't think I won't nail you for being an asshole
do not descrimenate ANY religion (Scientology and Kabalah aren't real religions), and don't speak in definates unless you're positive

traveling ahead of time is possible just by going into space and traveling at a certain rate
they did a month long test and just as Einstein's Theory proved, the watch on the ship was ahead by twenty minutes (there were moniters and cameras so don't think someone changed it)
they did a study back in the eighties where some one would take a space shuttle to the Milky Way line and back but they ran out of fuel or died or something so it didn't work...but if the dude made it back he would have made it four hundred years in advance

traveling back in time is the only sceptism....it is only possible through opening a worm hole....but the biggest worm holes have gotten are a few atoms, so we obviously cannot fit a space shuttle in them
(and if would ever work wouldn't we have found some future people by now????it's not like we'd find the secret and not come back

k i have now become fascinated by time travel. so...

do you think its possible? and if so would it be a good thing or a bad thing?

in my opinion i do think its possible to travel forward in time, through wormholes and space travel etc. but personally i dont think its at all possible to travel back in time, because as of now i have found no evidence that proves it is possible.
and i think travelling forward in time isnt such a bad thing, but one would have to be very careful with it considering [if my opinion is correct], they wouldnt be able to get back. but to travel back in time, if it was possible, i think would be incredibly dangerous and really should never be done because no matter what you do, no matter where you go, you will change something somehow that could alter the whole of history.

i think it's VERY possible. I was watching a movie in science class about the solar system and it talked about the speed of light. They said something like the planets you see, it takes such and such a many years for that light to reach you. Therefore, you're looking into the past.

That has to have something to do with it, it's like a hint.

yes! it takes 8 minutes for light to travel from the sun to the earth, so if the sun were to blow up, we wouldnt know till 8 minutes after it had happened.
