Time Travel ...?

Question

Ok, if you travel in time to the past then that will make you from the future, so when you travel from the past (at which would be your present) to the future will you be from the past? Or the present? A Thinker huh?

Answer 1

according to the point of view in your first statement, it makes you from the past.

Answer 2

It doesn't matter, I'd just like to be able to do it. In fact I'm not sure that it can't be done. There may be people from the future here right now. So they change the present and the future if they interact. Maybe that's a good thing or maybe it's what our descendants are meant to do. Talk of not being able to travel at a speed faster than light is only the current theory. Einstein did not prove much other than the Theory of Relativity, not that he didn't try. Is it called The Theory of Everything he and others have tried to come up with? The Elegant Universe? Science is constantly revising it's theories. The talk of the powerful telescope also need not apply. After all it would take a lot more knowledge than we currently have to be able to time travel anyway. Personally I believe in so called
"Superior Beings" on this planet who do interfere in peoples lives. Gods, Guides, Angels, Demons, Aliens or Time Travellers? Call it science fiction, laugh,but I like my ideas. Everything is possible. That is my Law. Prove me wrong.

Answer 3

The most important point of your question is "can you time travel" ? My answer to this is a definite "yes", but I am not too sure about being able to exist or relate in a new time zone. There could be unknown universal laws which prohibit interacting in different time zones (mainly from the the point of view of being able to directly change the past, present and future !). Apart from that, I see no reason why time travel is not possible using advanced technology !

Answer 4

If you travel to the past, you will be from the future. So if you travel to the future (from this past moment in time)You would be from the present, back in our own time. I'd like to go back to the past and buy a car, jewelry, stock etc. and be able to bring it all back with me. Do you have a time machine? If so I want to meet you!

Answer 5

You would be referenced as coming from the past. Time travel is impossible except at a rate at which everything moves through time anyway (one second per second) If anyone claims to be able to time travel, including scientists, they may have actually been in a simulation of some kind. Some people may have experienced apparent time slips that may have been errors in perception, caused by something called a scalar interferometer.

Time travel is just not possible.
Hiding in a frig is though

Answer 6

it depend on the point of view. if i, right now, travel to the future, then to the people there i am from the past. but from my point of view i am in the present. but really you cant sent your body there anyway. the only means of time travel i can even fathem is if you could manage to go faster then the speed of light. if you can send something into space faster then the speed of light and take pictures threw a telecope that is on that objest then you can take picture of the past as it is happening. wich means you can see who shot JFK and many other things. the problem with my theory is that A: acording to einstien it is impossible to go faster then the speed of light and B: you would nee a telescope that is stronger then anything we could come up with.

Answer 7

I've included two answers that I have submitted to other questions. The first one essentially defines Paradox, while the second one relates to Einsteins special theory.
The key premise to remember regarding paradox, is that mathematical truth contradicts naive intuition. In the twin paradox, naive intuition would tell us that time would be the same across reference frames despite what acceleration might be involved. Einstein's mathematical truth contradicts this naive intuition. I hope this helps.

Yes, check out the birthday paradox on wikepedia. In essence,
this paradox demonstrates that mathematical truth contradicts naive intuition.
The problem: If 23 people are randomly selected it is about a 50- 50 probability that at least 2 will have the same birthday. Most people when confronted with this problem will intuitively estimate that selecting only 23 people will be considerably less than a 50-50 chance of having at least 2 people with the same birthday.
They will also estimate that to get to a 50/50 probability it will have to be considerably more than 23.
At wikepedia they give several different mathematical approaches to solve this problem. The best and simplest is;

A simple exponentiation
P(n)= 1-(364/365) ^(nC2)=
1-(364/365)^(23C2)=
1- (.99726) ^ (253)=
1- (.499488)=
.500511872

(nC2) is also expressed as n Choose 2...This is a factorial.
Therefore (23Choose 2) gives you 253 possible combinations.
(23x22/2x1)=253 This will be the exponent for (364/365).

With 60 people randomly chosen, this exceeds 99% chance of getting at least 2 with the same birthday.
P(n) =1- (364/365)^(60C2)=
1-(.997260274)^(1770)=
1-.00778178=.99221822

In essence, some Paradoxes can be proven false, as this one has been demonstrated. Some of our false truths throughout history have been based on naive intuition and only resolved with counter intuitive approaches. I hope this helps! GL



Below is an answer I submitted to the question "Is time travel possible"? In addition to this, Time, Size, and Mass will all seem normal for those in their own reference frame. These entities would seem peculiar, for example, if earthlings could somehow see (see in another reference frame outside their own) the people traveling close to the speed of light. The Earthlings would see the travelers shrink, become more massive, and notice that their clocks were running significantly slower. The following is a a brief description of time , the 4th dimension. I hope this helps.

Yes, one aspect of time travel is theoretically possible. That is to say, according to Einstein's Special theory of relativity it is possible to travel into the future. How far in the future in a given time span depends how close to the speed of light you accelerate. Traveling at 80% of the speed of light according to Einstein's formula y=1/ Sqrt 1-v^2/c^2 ,(v=velocity, c= speed of light) the clocks on Earth will advance 1.667 times faster than the one traveling in space. Therefore, after a twenty year journey by the space travelers, (20 yrs time has elapsed by the travelers account) upon their return, there will have passed on earth 33.4 years.
At 98% of the speed of light, 20 years of travel at this speed, upon return, 100.4 years will have passed on earth.
This is the equivalent to traveling into the future, which is a form of time travel. Therefore time travel is theoretically possible. In fact, check out this site as the guy proclaims that we will be able to approach speed of light travel within 100 yrs.

Traveling back in time is debatable, as you would have to be able to exceed the speed of light to do that.
Plug in the numbers to this formula. speed of light c= 186,000 miles per second. For velocity, just multiply this number from .01 to .9999. Then just follow mathematical operations.
good luck

Answer 8

You can't travel to the past or future so why worry about it ? It would be easier to jump in the air and stay there without touching anything else.

Answer 9

If you go back in the past, your mere presence would change the current past; thus, if you were to go into the future thereafter, it would be an alternative, or parallel future.

Hence, you would be in a parallel present.

Answer 10

But if you travel to the past then kill your grandmother then how can you be born because one of your parents were not born so you couldn't have been born so you couldn't have traveled from the future to the past so you couldn't kill your grandmother so you couldn't write this post so I couldn't answer and get two points.
