In the movie Clockstoppers, the main guy has a watch that speads up his molecules so that everything else appears to not move, although it is moving, just very slow by comparison. Since the human body would burn out by actually moving that fast, what would be the theory behind the bubble you'd need to create to seperate you from the normal flow of time?

Actually, after I think about it, all you would need is something that is the reverse of a singularity. If you could create a bubble that was an inverse singularity, Everything else would appear to slow down and even stop while you move at normal speed.

This is based on the theory that as a spaceship approaches a blackhole, they experience time like normal while we would view them as coming to a stop. Now how would one go about building an inverse-singularity pocket?

Read what a singularity is before talking about inverse singularity etc.

Not even remotely.

Besides breaking all sorts of laws of physics, even if possible, the energy outlay would never fit in a portable device.

It would be like a nuclear bomb contained on your wrist.

Having said that, I like Sci fi and time travel movies in general. Clockstoppers was more for elementary school kids though.

You might note, Braxton, that it is a very persistant "preception". Time, apparently, is something that happens to everything. Even massless particles seem to experience time, eventually decaying into other particles. There really is no scientific basis for most of the Sci-fi time-travel stuff you see out there, but it's good fun anyways.

Time is not an absolute feature of our universe. There's nothing like some Cosmic Master Clock generating time. Time is not like a swimming pool of water through which we can swim back and forth. Time is strictly a human perception used to locate events in "time."

Not to known science at the current time, no.

I don't think a BUBBLE would be right. yeaaaa I don't think it is possible
