Is time travel possible by shifting awareness?

Question

I don't mean just thinking about the past!!!!

If time doesn't exist, is it possible to access any point when we want? and please there is no need to be rude!

Thank you Rusty Potatoe. That's the issue i'm trying to raise!

Answer 1

It would be an interesting concept if we could somehow shift our consciousness into another being or even ourselves in a future moment and shift back to present day... our minds are probably not that powerful though ! This would logically be the most plausible way to achieve time travel.... by using an existing subject in that time frame and jumping to it temporally !

Answer 2

Good question.

We are aware of our surroundings by our perception/awareness.

Have you ever played the waiting game where you are waiting for someone or some occurrence. If you lose your patience then times seems to drag and slow down; five minutes seems/perceives to be more like an hour!

Then there's the cliche 'Time flies when your having fun'. When you're involved in something that you're enjoying and it takes up all your attention you look to a clock or watch and 'blimey!' a few hours have gone by when it seems/perceives to be only half an hour! Like it has for me sitting at my PC! Got to go!

Love&Peace

Answer 3

No, of course not.

Time is a physical dimension just like right/left, forward/back and up/down. To move in time, or in any other physical dimension, you have to make effort, to use energy, to get somewhere.

Unfortunately for time, two problems make it even harder than moving in the other large physical dimensions. One is that, so far as we can tell, movement in time only happens one way (forward) in our universe. Various ways have been suggested as being physically possible, but usually, either you wouldn't survive going through the method or ("and/or" really) you would require far more energy than we can realistically picture ourselves being able to wield any time soon. The other major difficulty is that time is "harder" to move through than the other large physical dimensions. For instance, light travels 93,000,000 miles or so to get here from the sun, but while doing so, it only travels about 8 minutes in time. So to travel a minute in time, you'd have to AT LEAST make the effort needed to travel about 11½ million miles... Not gonna see ME trying to make a journey of even a minute back in time any time soon! 11½ million miles of effort! Well, like the ancient Chinese said, every journey of a minute in time starts with the first million or two steps...

Finally, try moving left or right some actually noticeable distance, say 30 feet across the lawn, by just "shifting awareness" — when you have accomplished that, prepare to work at shifting that awareness enough to move 186,000 miles worth of effort for every second you want to shift in time. Forward though, not back.

Answer 4

if time didn't exist? well we wouldn't exist. my view of time can be compare to a sequence of stills (or events) one following the other similar to a roll of film from a movie. if time didn't exist there wouldn't be any sequence or in other words no progression of events.

however, what would happen if you stop time? it would be like stopping that roll of film and watching one still frame nothing would move- us, the planets, the universe right down to the smallest particle so theorectically if you (were insulated from time) could move about you could be everwhere in the universe at the same time.

but if time was like a movie why couldn't you speed it up or rewind it?

my opinion of time travel throught shifting awareness is not possible and even if it was would it be morally right to place your awareness into somebody else's mind. would you like it if someone used your mind?

forward physical time travel is a fact not theory each year manmade satellites in orbit have their timers reset by .02 of a second per year faster due to time travel slowing them down, we all know if you approach the speed of light in your space craft that time outside your craft speeds up (Einstein theory of relavitivity) leaving you in the furture when you finish your flight. even though the satellites are not moving anywhere near that speed they are moving fast enough to be .02 of a second per year slower than us on earth. no matter how small the difference it is proof of time travel.

Einstein theory states that nothing can go faster then the speed of light which you would need to travel backwards in time. but ther seems to be loopholes something to do with space time and frame dragging around a singularity (totally out of my league), the theory goes, around the event horizon of the black hole due to gravitational forces light speeds seems to increase therefore theorectically if you could orbit the event horizon you would end up in the past. a Professor Ronald Mallett has been working on plans for a time machine. This machine uses a ring laser (instead of using a black hole but the same principle) and the theory of relativity. he predict in ten years his time machine will be switch on for the first time and he expects a message sent throught his machine from his furture self. the message would be something like a neutron particle from the furture. if it works it still be a long way off from sending humans throught time but it would be a start.

right now it seems we would need fantastic speeds to time travel but who knows what new sciences could pop up in the furture. maybe even (heavens forbid) shifting awareness ability.

Answer 5

Yes. Think about the future and you are in it. Trouble comes if you don't have a very good imagination and the future still looks like today.

Answer 6

that's the idea of the butterfly effect movie? well i think that our mind is not that power full, we cant project our selves to another time by just thinking on it, i think that it would be hard even for the dalai lama

Answer 7

time travel is just a hypothesis

Answer 8

Go watch "Somewhere in Time" and remember, IT'S FICTION!!

Answer 9

I think it is by `Dreaming`.
