What is the speed of time in space?

Question

If you identify three points in space and travel at twice the speed of time will you end up at a previous time and location? If we are traveling at 1x the speed of time then, 2x the speed of time would allow us to move to a previous point in space at an earlier date?

Answer 1

1 hour / 1 hour = 1
Do not fantasy too much.
In the real world you can't travel faster than light.

Answer 2

If you ask me, it would make no logical sense to even try to measure time anyways. Let's say time is a measurement tool such as a one foot or one meter ruler. One way to look at this would be if there was one ruler on the earth that each other ruler was made from. If you wanted to check the length of your ruler, you couldn't as the other rulers (which is just a measurement tool as time is) were made from the first ruler. Even if you moved at twice the speed of light for a year and looked back at earth with a giant telescope, you would see yourself on the earth six months before you left, but it would have had no change to the actual time on earth as if you could magically go straight back in seconds to the earth, time would be back to exactly one year and a few seconds after you left. Looking at the earth on your way back everything would just be speeded up. This would not take into account the gravitational influence on time, however I would like to believe that you could slow down or even have time pass differently in one place than another because of your speed or gravity, time would still be moving forward, however at a different rate. This also proves it is only a measurement tool. Wasnt it Einstien that said if you look at a clock just while you're sitting in your living room you can watch the speed of the second hand moving around, however, stick a needle in your finger and watch the clock and all of a sudden time seems to have slowed down. This shows that time is relative to the observer, but still just a measurement tool that can change speed but not direction.

Answer 3

Time has no speed, however the 3 individual points in space would be moving through Time relative too YOU. So that when you dropped into "normal" space they would have had a greatly increased Time velocity but YOU would not have. For you, Time would have remained relatively the same.

Answer 4

Actually time is relative to space and speed.if you are able to travel at the speed of light ,time will become zero relative to space.A spacecraft traveling at light's speed will actually record no time even though so many years may have lapsed on the earth.This is what scientists have proved so far.

Answer 5

Time has no fixed speed.

Time has long been a major subject of philosophy, art, poetry, and science. There are widely divergent views about its meaning; hence it is difficult to provide an uncontroversial definition of time. Many fields use an operational definition in which the units of time are defined. Scholars disagree on whether time itself can be measured or is itself part of the measuring system.

Absolute, true, and mathematical time, in and of itself and of its own nature, without reference to anything external, flows uniformly and by another name is called duration. Relative, apparent, and common time is any sensible and external measure (precise or imprecise) of duration by means of motion; such a measure - for example, an hour, a day, a month, a year - is commonly used instead of true time.

The idea that time could be something that we have invented, rather than something intrinsic to the universe, has a long history. In 5th century BC Greece, Antiphon the Sophist wrote, in his chief work Truth;

"Time is a thought or a measure, not a substance."

Similarly, Parmenides believed that time, motion, and change were illusions, leading to Zeno's paradoxes (Zeno was a follower of Parmendies).

Immanuel Kant, in the Critique of Pure Reason, described time as an a priori notion that allows us (together with other a priori notions such as space) to comprehend sense experience. With Kant, neither space nor time are conceived as substances, but rather both are elements of a systematic mental framework necessarily structuring the experiences of any rational agent, or observing subject. Spatial measurements are used to quantify how far apart objects are, and temporal measurements are used to quantify how far apart events occur. Similarly, Schopenhauer stated in the preface to his On the Will in Nature that "Time is the condition of the possibility of succession."

In contrast to Newton's belief in absolute space, and closely related to Kantian time, Leibniz believed that time and space are a conceptual apparatus describing the interrelations between events. The differences between Leibniz's and Newton's interpretations came to a head in the famous Leibniz-Clark Correspondence. Leibniz thought of time as a fundamental part of an abstract conceptual framework, together with space and number, within which we sequence events, quantify their duration, and compare the motions of objects. In this view, time does not refer to any kind of entity that "flows," that objects "move through," or that is a "container" for events.

Emerson considers time as presentness, where past and future are but our present projections (of our memory, hope, etc.). For Emerson, time needs a qualitative measurement rather than a quantitative one.

In Existentialism, time is considered fundamental to the question of being, in particular by the philosopher Martin Heidegger. See Ontology.

My favorite: Einstein's time

Einstein's answer overturned long-held ideas about the nature of time as a steady, continuous progression of events from past to present to future. Although it's hard to believe, there is no single "master clock" for the entire universe. Time does not progress at the same rate for everyone, everywhere. Instead, Einstein showed that how fast time progresses depends on how fast the clock measuring time is moving. The faster an object travels, the more slowly time passes for that object, as measured by a stationary observer. Perhaps even more astonishing, one person's past could theoretically be another's future—which is why Einstein described the past, present and future as "persistent illusions." This room and everything else on Earth are traveling at 107,000 kilometers (67,000 miles) an hour around the Sun. You are standing still, but only in relation to Earth. Relative to the Sun, you are traveling through space very quickly. Physicists use the phrase "relative motion" to convey the idea that whether an object is at rest or in motion depends on your point of view—or your "frame of reference."

Answer 6

Time is relative to the observer. It's completely dependent upon how you are moving and how close you are to a strong gravitational source.

Answer 7

An infinity! That's the "speed", but in fact time has no speed!

Answer 8

What is the speed of time?? I see the clock tick and that's it's speed!

Answer 9

I think that you are mistaking 'Time' with light. Time does not have a constant speed.

Answer 10

Time is a matter of human perception...tom science
