time travel?

Question

What did einstein say about time travel? did he support it?

were can i read more about einstein & time travel?

Answer 1

Yes, its a possibility- but who knows? Good luck trying, just remember me when you return to give me the lottery numbers. :)

Topics like these are always spoken of the radio show called "Coast to Coast", they talk about the paranormal, aliens, and even time travel. It is a very interesting show that my bf and I always listen to.

Answer 2

Einstein's theories of special and general relativity showed that time can slow down in some places compared with others. But Einstein didn't say anything directly about time travel himself. What he did was invent the equations which describe spacetime.

Other people have since then solved these equations to some extent, and have found certain situations where time travel seems to be possible, although they are not sure. One such is a giant rotating cylinder - close to the cylinder, it distorts spacetime to such an extent that an object in a tight trajectory about it can go back in time. Various people have said that this is impossible since it will lead to various paradoxes such as the grandfather paradox, but nobody has shown anything wrong with the maths, so physicist Stephen Hawking has said that time travel is possible.

Answer 3

All einstein said was that at relativistic speeds (i.e @ speeds comparative to the speed of light), ur normal time measurement fails.
i.e ur clock and the clock of a person on a frame moving at (say) speed of c/2, will show different times.
