the idea of time travel seems possible to people of our time what are your veiws?

Answer 1

yes it is possible and it has been done.

If you travel at high speed for a long time your watch will retard on the watch on earth. This has been |verified by a real experiment ( plane two watches ,etc )(

if it is possible to go further in time than you go already, .. i dont know that neiither if you can go back in the past, for now you can only get slower in time

Answer 2

A kind of time travel into a future is allowed by Einstein's relativity, but not into a past.

Whether or not time itself is actually a natural feature of the universe has been debated for a long while. If time is an absolute (..natural..) feature of the universe then there should be some Cosmic Master Clock that ticks off the one time that's correct for the entire universe. So far, no evidence whatsoever that such is the case exists. It seems most likely that what we call time is nothing more than a human invention we use to separate events into 'past,' 'present,' and 'future.'

Answer 3

The "idea" of time travel has been the subject of many science fiction novels. The process of achieving it has not been developed yet, and probably will not be developed in our lifetimes.

Quite often the process of traveling in time is bundled with the "idea" of traveling at a speed that is faster than the "speed of light." The speed of light is 186,000 Miles
Per Second. And, unfortunately mankind has only been able to accelerate a man made vehicle or device up to a
velocity of between 25,000 and 50,000 Miles Per Hour so far. That speed is no where near 186,000 Miles Per Sec.

So I do not feel that time travel will happen.

Answer 4

here is something maximum do no longer evaluate. enable's say you dial back a Time gadget a million Planck time (5.39x10^^-40 4 sec). What then? could there be 2 of you occupying an identical area? could you unexpectedly weigh two times as lots, have 4 eyes, 4 legs, 4 hands, ... and so on. could it violate the Pauli exclusion theory (no 2 same fermions could occupy an identical quantum state concurrently)? here is yet another utilising the wormhole concept. You stand on the brink then advance some arbitrary ?d, say 0.5 cm. the place are you, and whilst? once you start to flow into the wormhole, area of your physique is in st1 (area-time area), and area in st2. in line with danger i'm lacking something basic, yet i won't be in a position to work out a fashion around this, no count how this is performed, wormhole, time gadget, multiverse, despite. same is going for teleportation. in case you ascribe to the Multi-Worlds concept, as you flow flitting approximately doing st-to-st transitions, are you a diverse you after each and each transition? And, if so, are you an identical you yet diverse, or a diverse you however an identical? in spite of everything, in a single way or yet another, you're reconstituted in the process each and each transition. Do you unfastened that which makes you uniquely you? For time shuttle to paintings, could it necessitate the on the spot flow of the eigenstates of all the quantum components to the chosen time? To do in any different case, could one's count be smeared out backwards for the time of time?

Answer 5

I respectfully disagree that travel in time (forward and backward at will) is NOT possible.

Read Kip Thorne's conjecture about fishing 2 wormholes out of the quantum foam, enlarging them and holding them open with exotic matter (and negative energy), moving one relative to the other at close to the speed of light away from each other and then back again, jump in one, come out the other in the past! You can only travel as far back in time as to when the time machine was created to avoid the classical time-travel paradoxes.

To travel fast(er) into the future, just zoom your spaceship real close to the event horizon of a black hole.

Simply an engineering problem, what with exotic matter, negative energy, quantum foam fishing and zooming up to black holes!

Answer 6

I have 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. Einstein approached Special Relativity with counter intuitive mindset, see below.



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.
http://www.physorg.com/news10789.html......
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.
hope this helps, good luck

Answer 7

the truth is corpreal time travel( where you and your body travel together) is not possable. Though a device invented some time in the 1900's does allow for vieweing of the past and present and future on a type of T.V.

Answer 8

If time travel were truly possible, you would have known about it a long time ago when someone visited you from the future.

Answer 9

If time travel was possible to people of our time it would be possible for people of any time.

Answer 10

controlling time, a man made tool to register passage, will never be in mans hands? we create to much mischeif already? also what about the biological aspect of transporting or moving your body thru time and beating the ageing process? looks good in sci fi movies but I never think it will come to fruition? also from a religious view? no one knows tommorrow? live for today, nor are you promised tommorrow.
