Time travel what ever happened to the research being done at M.I.T?

Question

there was a discussion group talking about time travel and solving the randon quas theory. they developed a plasma bubble that in side slowed time or stoped it.By useing atomic clocks they determined that time was slowed and stoped. if the plasma bubble colapsed it caused any organic material to be destroyed. I wonder if the goverment stoped the discussion . there must have been some kind of break truough. what answers does anyone have.

this is valid research cal tec was on the same page. surley there is someone with some information as to what happened to the research.

Answer 1

There are a lot of theories about space and time, but I like what a Tom Stoppard character said in the play "Arcadia". He said one can quickly stir marmalade into porridge, but can NOT stir it back out .

This is a parable or metaphor for pointing out that time is a framework of process, and most processes-- such as entropy, for example-- move in only one direction. Although one can run a video backwards, no one in reality can unbake a cake separating it into flour, chocolate, baking powder and other ingredients, nor send the merest slice of chocolate cake "back in time" to co-exist with the flour, chocolate and baking powder of its former existence.

Sending YOU back to live with your ancestors-- you, who, no doubt, have a few atoms and molecules in you from nearly every human being who ever lived-- would be like trying to get a speck of jelly stirred out of the porridge, unbaking a cake: reversing a process that is complete already! In time, of course, the process of baking the cake will reverse itself in a way, for the cake, one way or another, will vanish, in the entropy of cakes represented by chewing, digestion, spoiling in the refrigerator, getting stale and being thrown in the garbage for flies and maggots. But in no sense can a time machine be built to send the least crumb of cake, the least excuse for a man, back in time.

And this is because time is a correlative function of whatever processes occur within a given time frame. Time, whether it speeds up or slows down under certain conditions as claimed in the theory of relativity-- is a process that could not work in reverse! (I don't "know" this, but am convinced-- which, to an old man, is the same thing!)

Think: If we went back to the time of Alexander, and our 21st century body had one of the atoms in it that formerly had belonged to Alexander, who would get the atom? If you had "inherited" a patch of skin or a nose from a Native American contemporary of Alexander, who'd get the nose? Would it, out of courtesy, fly off of his face and snap onto your face, just because you had managed to travel back in time? There is a rule that is unarguable: only one person can use a particular atom or a particular molecule of water at a time.

The other kind of "time travel"-- freezing people and animals into "corpsicles" to be thawed out in ten thousand years-- might seem like time travel to the person surviving the "thaw cycle", but in reality it would not be, for inducing suspended animation through freezing would not affect "time", it would merely arrest or slow the universal entropy of living things-- aging-- and delay the universal "extreme entropy" experienced ultimately by all who live: death!

I have been fascinated by suspended animation since, as a child, I once practiced it: freezing in a block of ice a small fish I caught in a pond, leaving it in the freezer, putting the block of ice back in the pond, and watching the fish swim away. The fish was swimming at the same rate as he was before I caught him, and, also, the fish through the entire process "traveled in time" at the same rate as the rest of us, and didn't need a machine-- a Montgomery Ward refrigerator or an Alley Oop time machine-- to do it. If the freezing didn't hurt its health, the freezing merely delayed its death by the couple of weeks it lay frozen in our freezing compartment.

Fish and men, civilizations and stars, are born, go through certain changes and processes, then they die and can never more be revisited. Elvis sings and leaves the stage, and, no matter how many times you back to Vegas, you won't find him.

Answer 2

Well, I have never heard about the crap have written, but I did read in a technology publication that time travel is theoretically possible or at least the perception. The theory goes like this:

What is faster. speed of sound or the speed of light...Speed of Light

So why when we slap our hand on the table we see the hand slap at the same time we hear the hand slap?

IT is because the brain is constantly putting the pictures we see with the sounds that we hear. The brain plays kind of a traffic cop to help keep us organized.

If I flash a card in front of you chances are you will not recall what was on the card. But I flash the same card as you bungee jump you do remember.

Precisely Adrenaline allows the brain to process more information in a smaller amount of time. So no Time travel is not possible but doing exponentially more work in the same minute is possible.

Answer 3

Everyone involved the experiment became entangled in a time rift. I can only say that theyre living quite comfortable in the New England area,..........in the year 2083. I've said too much already.

Answer 4

I cannot take your point as being valid from someone who is supposedly smart as you make so many spelling mistakes that i doubt very strongly that you would even possess the brainpower to understand what it is you are trying to say here!!!~

Answer 5

Spiderman destroyed the experiment before it destroyed the city of Cambridge.

Answer 6

the government realized the potential of such research and classified it. they could be reading this right now, and you might be getting audited by the IRS sometime soon.

Answer 7

they got lost in 1852

Answer 8

mit?;) time travel?

mayeb in 100 years:)

check the dudes who alredy doing taht:)

Answer 9

it was thrown away along with your spell check program

Answer 10

sorry but I don't know
