Is it closer than we think?
[question posted by Magus274]
responses and comments:
Never, such time travel will never happen and a time machine will be never be discovered. There was no mistake in Eingstein theory, only the fellow scientists fabricated this kind of story using his 'special theory of relativity'. Just read this quote, I have given to you as I read it. "Presentism holds that neither the future nor the past exist; that the matter of the universe only exists in the present moment, that time is merely a concept of man used to describe what is going on around him. This means that there is nowhere for a time traveller to go, thus rendering the whole topic of time travel null and void. This view argues that time does not flow, but that observations of time's apparent movement are simply the relation of old memory to the present, or instant." [i_agree_but]
If your so stuck in Einsteins theory then you wont accept any other, what a pity. I would like to hear about your dilation, frankly i havn't heard of such a thing, excuse my naievity. [Magus274]
If it was, wouldn't people have traveled back in time to come visit us and post on MyLot? [crowdofgirls]
What do you think of the consequences of altering the past with time travel technology? Perhaps there would be what they call a ripple effect. And if time travel was an actuality, then the least ripple effect would be of the utmost importance, wouldn't it? [Magus274]
Time machine is a 75%blunder and 25%fact because it exists only in papers .Accordin to special theory of relativity when u travel at aspeed greater than the speed of lite that is greater thab 300000000m/s then time slows down but u can never travel at that speed if u made such a device and tried to travel at that speeed ur mass will increase and becomes infinite u cannot accelerate an infinitely large mass .Moreover there r many paradoxes .the main one ,the grand father paradox that is wat happenes if u go back to the past and kill one of ur ancesters .another problem is say i was born on 1986 how can i exist in 1976 it's impossible .u cannot construct amachine taht travels at a speed of light .only thing u can do is to use the natural time machines like black holes ,worm holes cosmoc strings etc .if u try to use them the problem i later disscussed comes the problem of mass .moreover u cannot do that u cannot ctrl black hole and all that .so it is a dram to time travel [spaceboy20]
well because your looking at automobiles from the present, perhaps if you consider that our ancestors walked everywhere, an automobile to them will cut the amount of time it would take for them to travel from point a to point b by 90% saving them days if not weeks. Is that not a time machine? Isn't that the same concept? [Magus274]
I just got back from the future and earned 18 cents on this comment alone. so yeah i think it is. [mykmalice]
All good, can you tell me next weeks lotto numbers? [Magus274]
time travel could be possible but it is not closer than we think even if figure out the principle of time travel me need more time to figure out the technical glitchs and make such machines possible then furthur time may be required to make them safe for humans to travel [babaramitabh]
Thats true, i think there are many implications involved that we as humans need to consider. And if it were possible would it be available to many or just a few? [Magus274]
i dunno but would be cool if we could go back in time when my mom was alive and say the stuff i missed on saying.. [jhannon]
Yes, now thats a thought. Perhaps we don't need time travel for communicating with our loved ones, but it is a good enough reason. Say it anyway, you never know she may hear you? [Magus274]
For me personally, I don't think it's possible. It's only a fantasy and can be seen only in movies. [matefork]
Well thats probably the attitude of most people. Thanks for your input. [Magus274]
I don't think there will ever be a time machine or anything that allows anything to travel to the past or to the future. I think that if people truly knew their future, they would quit living their lives. Not because they didn't like the outcome or something of that nature, but because they would figure whatever they do, they're going to end up with whatever they saw in the future.. Hypothetically speaking. I don't believe that time travel is every meant to occur. [befani]
Yeah maybe, not in our time perhaps. Too many people with ulterior motives, you know. Perhaps our grandchildren will have access to it? [Magus274]
i don't think time travel is possible as time itself is a man made concept design to help us gauge our existance time as we know it serves as a method of marking out events in our lives our lifetime is only measurable because we as a species have invented the concept of "life time" the lenght of our own existance on this plane of reality if time travel were to be possible "time mesurement" itself would first need to proven as a natural occurance, which has not been proven to date please correct me if it has [thecashjunky]
hi of course time travel is possible but i dont think its possible for a person to move back and forth through time maybe in the future we'll discover more about space and really i think space is the key to time travel as i dont think time has any physical presence and so eople will not be able to move through it at will For free online resources www.thecashjunky.com [thecashjunky]
Its interesting. I have two friends who are physics majors. One says its possible if you can find a crack within time such as a black whole. The other says its a waste of time because he states that anyone traveling faster then the speed of light will turn into energy. He said the problem with this is getting that person back into physical form once he or she reaches their destination in time. Id like to believe it is possible. It would be cool to have a hooverboard. ;) Anyway Einstein also said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge." [jtexas]
Awesome, thanks for the link, I will check it out. [Magus274]
definately will be here one day......but not like a time machine as such....when we learn more about space travel it is not inconceivable that one day we will work out how to find and use space windows......how do you think U,F,O,s can visit us when we already know that there is no life close to us therfore to travel great distances and i am talking tens of billion light years they must know how to use these gateways. obviously some out there might think i am a wakko but i am not [yangmagna]
Thanks for your response, there is alot more in stall for us yet, thats if we don't destroy ourselves before hand. It comes down to our intent. What would we do with such technology? [Magus274]
Of course it is; it's already here. Get on a plane in England and fly to America. You're travelling back in time, go to Australia and you're travelling forward in time! [Lackingstyle]
seems to me that your have gone off on a tangent of many possibilities, interesting viewpoint, thanks anyway. [Magus274]
Time travel is not gonna happen in out life time. Technology has a long way to go before we can travel anywhere near the speed of light. Time travel would require us to travel faster than light. Which is 3*10^8 m/s. [Skittlez]
What a future our children will have. Perhaps we need to prepare them for the future, that being the developement fo such technologies. I know they are working on it now. [Magus274]
I think as close as humans are to creating man from mud.It is a nice concept that works on paper but to me it is one of those ideas that always remains ideas. [jmafofo]
well thanks for your input, most inventions or reinventions start with an idea, and then when someone comes up with a plan or an answer, voila! Next minute it is here in the physical dimension. [Magus274]
Time travel, Do you think its really possible? [Martins69]
I understand that it is possible, and it has already been in use, a rather scary thought, but will it available for the multitudes? [Magus274]
It would be nice if time travel were invented and I were the only person who could actually go back in time to correct the mistakes I made in life. If everyone could go back, what's the point? I believe the Butterfly Effect would have a greater effect with time rather than distance. Maybe someone manipulating his or her own "past life" would affect mine great enough to alter the course of my own life, turning it for the better (or regretfully for worse). Having said that, I believe we should keep the present as is. The discovery may be possible, but we have no idea what the impact would be if we were able to use such a technological advancement. [raphallion]
thanks for your response, there are alot of consequences to consider arent there? I would hate to think that a person who had no ethics or morals had control of such technology. [Magus274]
No i dont think they will ever invent time travel....just the thought of it sounds a million years away from us.... [NOCEagle]
Thats ok, It's interesting to see what people think of such an idea. [Magus274]
I dont really think that time travel is possible, it seems like time would have to be continuous for it to be possible, like everyday life would be like frames of a movie, now be it im no scientist, or have any experience in the field but it just does not seem plausable for time travel to be happening ever. Also being it human nature, one "good samaritan" traveling back in time tryin to solve all the worlds problems could end up destorying the future. just my opinion [neil3giles]
Thats a very good thought, everything does happen for a reason, perhaps the technology is maybe designed to repair something thats already been damaged? [Magus274]
If time travel were possible and it has already happened in the future, then wouldn't someone have come back to the (our) present to tell us they made it? And therefore, wouldn't it have been made sooner, wouldn't it end up that time would go round in a continual loop? I'm a huge fan of the 'Back to the Future' movies, but I don't understand how time travel can be at all possible, without causing influxes in the space time continuum, for instance, what happens if you do go back to the past and meet yourself? Do you warn yourself of impending doom? That would change the course of history. Or do you go and fetch people from all different parts of history? Just like in Bill and Teds Movie? Just think of the posibilities, someone could go and tell Franz Ferdinand not to go that way in his car, then there would probably not have been any world wars. Do you see where I'm going with this? [dorypanda]
Hey hows it going?, hope you found something more interesting on the topic of time travel? [Magus274]
fbefore we thinkk of time travel we should first understand what time is.is it merly a psychologicAL FEELING OR A SEPARATE ENTITYINTERTWINED WITH SPACE AS PROPOSED BY THE RELATIVISTSINCLUDING EINSTEINAND HAWKING [arunpadmakumar]
The idea of time travel has been around alot longer than both Einstein and Hawking! If it is merely a state of the psyche, then how do you explain the past or the future? As a psychological feeling also? Somehow the past, present and future are also intertwined, and neither occupies the same exact space, such is the infinite size of the continuum. We individuals, in fact all living beings all have our own space, not occupied by any other physical being? [Magus274]
I don't think so. I don't think that it'll ever happen. [acdc0805]
Thanks acdc0805, thanks for your comment. [Magus274]
I'm 36 years old and though I do think it is coming I don't expect to see it in my lifetime. It would be neat though when it does happen. [tater03]
Thankyou also for your comments, something for our grand children perhaps? [Magus274]
Who knows only God. An, honestly I don't care. [Sheila_Abram]
Oh ok, I had to ask you which God u were referring to, as everyone has their own belief system and it is dangerous to assume that one's god is everyone's god. Besides getting into religion and heaven, is going off track here don't you think? [Magus274]
Still no solid prove that can be done up to date. [dellion]
You mean proof? How fast has man advanced in his short time on this planet? At the rate mankind is developing, i think it is only around the corner, before too long we may be travelling to other dimensions. [Magus274]
What i know is that time travel is not possible due to a term known as "Grandfather Paradox",suppose u travel into the past and kill your own grandfather before he married ,then you make your own existance impossible. [monsterdix]
Well that wou;d certqainly create a ripple effect of sorts, the question is why would one do that in the first place? If it was to happen, then wouldn't it be possible for someone else to travel back to a time before that and warn your grandfather of the impending danger? The possibilities are endless. [Magus274]
yes it is really closer than we think [whitish]
Thanks for your response, do you know any more? [Magus274]
Sorrie guyz i don't have much of knowledge in these scientific things.But if i do get 2 know somethin abt it then i vil surely let u guyz know abt it. [Betso221]
Thanks for responding to this discussion, there seems to be balanced view point so far, some agreeing and some not, which is a good enough reason for a debate on the subject. I think it is a good thing to consider all options and viewpoints as they are all important. Especially when there is research done to substantiate ones point of view. Good Luck and hope to hear back from you :) [Magus274]
We all travel in time. We travel in time at the rate of 1 hour per hour. But the question is, can we travel in time faster or slower than "1 hour per hour"? Or can we actually travel backward in time, going back, say 2 hours per hour, or 10 or 100 years per hour? It is mind-boggling to think about time travel. What if you went back in time and prevented your father and mother from meeting? You would prevent yourself from ever having been born! But then if you hadn't been born, you could not have gone back in time to prevent them from meeting. Hope i made some sense lol? [code_11]
Not the type of time travel i was talking about, but thanks for your comments. Why would you want to use time travel for such a stupid thing anyway. Time travel will indeed be only accessable by few people i guess. [Magus274]
yes... we have to follow that.. we are always traveling under timings.......... [kalai1985]
Thanks for your input. [Magus274]
I doubt that, we are way to far than going even close to that.. we are way to far than that.. So it will take alot of time [SnIcKasS]
Thanks for your comment. [Magus274]
MOBILE GAME, ARE THINK WHAT CAN WE DO, HOW CAN I DO ARE HAVE SOME CALCULATION HOW THEY LIFE IS GOING ON [POORNACHANDRAN]
Thanks for your response but I'm not sure i understand your point. [Magus274]
maybe,who knows.science is progressing so much that it may be true one day. [coolme_kiran]
Thanks for your comment, i guess we need to be checking out what science and scientists are up to these days, moreover what the governments are up to. [Magus274]
This would be amazing. I would use it for purely selfish purposes to better my own life, but hey.... I admit to it. [sirensanssmile]
Hey thanks for your response, i think most people think that they will do whatever they wnat if they had access to time travel. I wonder if thats the reason why it is unaccessable to us now? [Magus274]
Time travel is the concept of moving backward or forward to different points in time, in a manner analogous to moving through space. Additionally, some interpretations of time travel suggest the possibility of travel between parallel realities or universes.[1] The short story The Clock That Went Backward by Edward Page Mitchell, which appeared in the New York Sun in 1881, was probably the first widely-published story to feature time travel. This was followed by The Time Machine by HG Wells, published in 1895. It was the first novel to suggest the theme of time travel by a machine, and helped popularize the notion of time traveling. Since that time, both science and fiction have expanded on the concept of time travel, although neither has offered a true answer to whether or not it is possible. Some theories, most notably special and general relativity, suggest that suitable geometries of spacetime, or specific types of motion in space, may allow time travel into the past and future if these geometries or motions are possible.[2] Concepts that aid such understanding include the closed timelike curve. Although the possibility of traveling to the future by moving at relativistic velocities is taken for granted by physicists, many in the scientific community believe that backwards time travel is highly unlikely. Any theory which would allow time travel would require that issues of causality be resolved. What if one were to go back in time and kill one's own grandfather? Additionally, Stephen Hawking once suggested that the absence of tourists from the future constitutes a strong argument against the existence of time travel—a variant of the Fermi paradox, with time travelers instead of alien visitors. However, the theory of general relativity does suggest scientific grounds for thinking backwards time travel could be possible in certain unusual scenarios, although arguments from semiclassical gravity suggest that when quantum effects are incorporated into general relativity, these loopholes may be closed. These semiclassical arguments led Stephen Hawking to formulate the chronology protection conjecture, suggesting that the fundamental laws of nature prevent time travel, but physicists cannot come to a definite judgment on the issue without a theory of quantum gravity to join quantum mechanics and general relativity into a completely unified theory. Presentism holds that neither the future nor the past exist; that the matter of the universe only exists in the present moment, that time is merely a concept of man used to describe what is going on around him. This could be interpreted to mean that there is nowhere for a time traveller to go, thus rendering the whole topic of time travel null and void. However, some presentists argue that although past and future objects do not exist, there can still be definite truths about past and future events, and that it is possible that a future truth about the time traveler deciding to return to the present date could explain the time traveler's actual presence in the present.[3] In any case, the relativity of simultaneity in modern physics is generally understood to cast serious doubt on presentism and to favor the view known as four dimensionalism (closely related to the idea of block time) in which past, present and future events all coexist in a single spacetime.

Time travel to the past is theoretically allowed using the following methods: Traveling faster than the speed of light The use of cosmic strings and black holes Wormholes and Warp drive. Vintage WWII Posters are fascinating. [edit] The equivalence of time travel and faster-than-light travel If one were able to move information or matter from one point to another faster than light, then according to special relativity, there would be some inertial frame of reference in which the signal or object was moving backwards in time. This is a consequence of the relativity of simultaneity in special relativity, which says that in some cases different reference frames will disagree on whether two events at different locations happened "at the same time" or not, and they can also disagree on the order of the two events (technically, these disagreements occur when spacetime interval between the events is 'space-like', meaning that neither event lies in the future light cone of the other). If one event represents the sending of a signal from one location and the second event represents the reception of the same signal at another location, then as long as the signal was moving at the speed of light or slower, the mathematics of simultaneity ensures that all reference frames agree that the transmission-event happened before the reception-event. However, in the case of a hypothetical signal moving faster than light, there would always be some frames in which the signal was received before it was sent, so that the signal could be said to have moved backwards in time. And since one of the two fundamental postulates of special relativity says that the laws of physics should work the same way in every inertial frame, then if it is possible for signals to move backwards in time in any one frame, it must be possible in all frames. Belleek Pottery is gorgeous! This means that if observer A sends a signal to observer B which moves FTL in A's frame but backwards in time in B's frame, and then B sends a reply which moves FTL in B's frame but backwards in time in A's frame, it could work out that A recieves the reply before sending the original signal, a clear violation of causality in every frame. An illustration of such a scenario using spacetime diagrams can be found here. It should be noted that according to relativity it would take an infinite amount of energy to accelerate a slower-than-light object to faster-than-light speeds, and although relativity does not forbid the theoretical possibility of tachyons which move faster than light at all times, there is no evidence for their existence. [koustav_sarkar]
Very good research, but what are your thoughts? It seems the scientists and theorists all have their opinions and theories, and conclude that it may or may not be possible. There are new areas of energy that are now being researched. Wolverine boot tracks are great!Monatomic qualities of earths minerals for instance, like gold and silver all have properties that we are only now beginning to comprehend which allow for alternative forms of energy. This more to it than meets the eye, so to speak. I challenge you to think for yourself and look for more evidence and get back to me. Thanks for your long winded response. [Magus274]
i really like sci fi .i belive this gonna happen soon. that's gonna be our future. i wish if i can go back and correct my mistakes that i have done in my past. [suj999in]
So do I, Beam me up scotty is a great line. Thankyou for your comment. [Magus274]
I doubt it, and if it was we couldn't all be doing it and then we may upset what we know as the world today. [missybal]
Thanks for your comment, and also for your previous comment about pasting info, i'd perfer original thoughts. Thank you. [Magus274]
i dont think timetravel is possible. [Syam4u]
okay thanks for your response. [Magus274]
i don't think so , and why we wish to do our lives again , we will be so tired ! [lamiaa]
Maybe life itself is enough reason? or the love of life? Maybe to fix up errors in the past? [Magus274]
i dont think so that time travel is really possible..dont be carried away by certain story writers imagination going wild....whats happened has happened...we cant go to it agin.. [narayanshravan]
thats good thanks for your comment. [Magus274]
For some people - yes. When you die your soul steps outside of the chains of the human existance and time. I would love some vintage plastic collectibles. I suppose then you could travel anywhere you want to just by thinking about it. [Meljep]
Hey thanks for responding, you know you don't have to die to have an out of body experience. Many people have done already, and have written books about it. Good thought though, about being out of the chains of human existance and not bound by time, once your out of the physical constraints, it is possible to travel around. Not quite the same as time travel though. [Magus274]
i believe in time travel im no wcientist but how do you explain things like nostrodamus and the other people who claim to see the future arent they time tourists from the future coming back to our time [ESKARENA1]
