time travel

Re: time travel

I dont't think that there is time travel. If there was time travel, someone would have altered the past already. That past would make a new present and completely knock us out of existance. That little propoganda about back to the future is something that could be considered. I conclude that there is no such thing as time travel. I also heard that if you exit from the black hole, time will warp back by 3 months. Any takers on this motion?

Re: time travel

Time travel is clearly possible. It is possible right now.

If you live in the U.S. then fly to Japan. You would be flying from a time zone, to a different time zone. That's traveling into a different time. Thats time travel. Clear and simple.

Re: time travel

I will prove it myself. Sure, you travel to Japan, you will have to put a few hours back on your watch, but if you were to travel to Japan in 2 seconds, you would have that 3 hour advantage, but then travel the rest of the world back to your house in another 2 seconds, do you go back an entrite day? Nope, you will only be 4 ahead seconds after you left. Besides, the time zones only measure the time to make earth's rotation. Same thing like walking. If you walk West, do you travel back in time?

Re: time travel

Lmfao! I've actually heard that before...but lol

You do realize time zones exist because we as humans have placed them there to standardize time?

Here is an example of why this is not time travel: At my house, my clock is set at 4:43. Now my friends watch says it is 2:43, and when he arrives at my house, his watch says 2:45 and my clock says 4:45! Has he traveled 2 hours into the future? Obviously not.

A time zone is the exact same thing. In that example, my house is another time zone where the clock is set differently. When you fly into another time zone you're flying into an area where their clocks are offset to standardize time.

Reach, never stop posting in CT.

flamingspinach, I love how you described time as a 3D object. (Not sarcasm at all). I tried to explain the same thing to someone else and it went right over thier head. But after reading that I think I could teach him now.

Oh, and as a side note, what are the units for calculating something using E=mc^2?

Re: time travel

Just remember to keep your units the same. However, you should have your mass in kilograms and the speed of light in meters per second (299800000 m/s). You'll get an answer in joules.

**** that.

Re: time travel

If time travel was possible, there is the possibility of something happening that causes you to not time travel...

That didn't make sense at all.

Ok:

Let's say a billiard ball goes back in time. It's rolling along, and accidentally hits itself. It cracks, and then it can't time travel. What happens then?

Personally, I don't think time travel can exist. If you wanted to time travel, you would, in theory, have to go faster than light. When reaching the speed of light, time begins to stop, mass reaches infinity, and something else happens that I forgot. Now, if you to reach light speed, you would have infinte mass. That's kinda bad, seeing how that isn't possible. Also, if you're moving at the speed of light, and racing a ray of light, the ray of light would seem to be moving at the speed of light. In other words, the ray of light would pass by you at 300,000,000 meters per second.

Time travel is possible; we're experiencing it right now.

lol that's a pat answer that is actually wrong - we're not "traveling" through time, rather our time is another dimension of us.

Re: time travel

Let me put it like this to finalize this thread. If time travel was possible, someone would have affected the past and as a result, would have affected us all at out present state and we would cease to exist.
