Time travel - is it possible?

Question

I've seen a lot of movies about time travel, so I know a lot about it. I have seen Somewhere In Time many many times in my search for the answer to traveling through time. After doing the extensive research on the subject, I determined that I would do it. I decorated my grandma's basement to look like 1914 and began to concentrate very, very hard. I repeated facts I knew about 1914 over and over and had period music playing on an old phonograph (the kind you'd find in 1914). Then for split second, I swear I was in 1914! I would have stayed there, but my grandma started to yell at me to turn off the music! I really think I went back in time though! Do you think it was possible? I need as much input as possible! Thanks

Answer 1

Many scientist believe that by magnifying the suns intensity many times and firing a VERY high poered laser on to the folicle point of it you could let it run for maybe 5 years and jump into the middle of it and you will travel five years into the past.

Answer 2

No time travel in the sense you describe it...But>..

Time travel is the concept of moving backwards or forwards to different points in time, in a manner analogous to moving through space. Additionally, some interpretations of time travel suggest the possibility of travel between parallel realities or universes.

Some theories, most notably special and general relativity, suggest that suitable geometries of spacetime, or specific types of motion in space, may allow time travel into the past and future if these geometries or motions are possible.[3] In technical papers physicists generally avoid the commonplace language of "moving" or "traveling" through time ('movement' normally refers only to a change in spatial position as the time coordinate is varied), and instead discuss the possibility of closed timelike curves, which are worldlines that form closed loops in spacetime, allowing objects to return to their own past. There are known to be solutions to the equations of general relativity that describe spacetimes which contain closed timelike curves, but the physical plausibility of these solutions is uncertain.

Physicists take for granted that if one were to move away from the Earth at relativistic velocities and return, more time would have passed on Earth than for the traveler, so in this sense it is accepted that relativity allows "travel into the future" (although according to relativity there is no single objective answer to how much time has 'really' passed between the departure and the return). On the other hand, many in the scientific community believe that backwards time travel is highly unlikely. Any theory which would allow time travel would require that issues of causality be resolved. What if one were to go back in time and kill one's own grandfather? (see grandfather paradox) Additionally, Stephen Hawking once suggested that the absence of tourists from the future constitutes an argument against the existence of time travel—a variant of the Fermi paradox, with time travelers instead of alien visitors. (Of course this would not show time travel is physically impossible, only that it is never in fact developed; and even if it is developed, Hawking notes elsewhere that time travel may only be possible in a region of spacetime that is warped in the right way, and that if we can't create such a region until the future, then time travelers would not be able to travel back before that date, so 'This picture would explain why we haven't been over run by tourists from the future.'[4]) However, the theory of general relativity does suggest scientific grounds for thinking backwards time travel could be possible in certain unusual scenarios, although arguments from semiclassical gravity suggest that when quantum effects are incorporated into general relativity, these loopholes may be closed. These semiclassical arguments led Hawking to formulate the chronology protection conjecture, suggesting that the fundamental laws of nature prevent time travel, but physicists cannot come to a definite judgment on the issue without a theory of quantum gravity to join quantum mechanics and general relativity into a completely unified theory.

confident in one direction: the destiny. to take action, you decide on an rather quickly spaceship which could return and forth to a substantial fraction of the fee of light. you will adventure time contraction alongside here formulation t' = root (a million -v^2/c^2)*t the place t' is the time you adventure t is the time experienced by potential of a table certain observer (e.g earth) v is your velocity c the fee of light. as an occasion in case you have been to return and forth at 10% of the fee of light, you will possibly adventure a time contraction of ninety 9.498% not very wonderful. yet at 50%, time contraction may be 86.60% at ninety%, it would be 40 3.fifty 8% at ninety 9%, it would be 14.10% at ninety 9.9%, it would be 4.40 seven% So in case you should get a spaceship to attain ninety 9.9% of the fee of light, and safeguard this velocity for 4.40 seven years, on your return to earth one hundred years might have long surpassed by potential of. Fly for 40 4.7 years, and are available back to earth 1000 years later. So in thought you are able to return and forth forward in time. almost there are some snags. With increasing velocity , in simple terms like time contracts, your mass augments interior an analogous share (e.g. if time runs 10x slower, your mass is 10x greater. with the purpose to adventure an analogous rigidity on your seat, you will possibly choose to decrease your acceleration on the grounds that your mass greater (undergo in suggestions F=ma). additionally it would substitute right into a starting to be form of complicated to go at those speeds and in all probability your physique might go through serious trauma (as an occasion each and each heartbeat might require lots extra capacity).

Answer 4

I think that it's very possible. I, too, have seen a lot of movies on the topic. My personal favorite is Back to the Future. My question is, why don't they carry the Back to the Future on VHS at JC Penney? I have seriously looked for it for a month, and they still don't have it.

Answer 5

Why 1914? Why not any other year?

Answer 6

wow I know how you feel exept in my case i was just listining to mr. roboto. just kidding. if you did travel back in time then how could you have heard your grandmas voice or mabe your grandmas voice broke your concentration so you couldnt stay. i just hope you didnt cange anything while you were there you could have posibly destroyed the world or mabe worse. you could have me only put peanut butter on my sandwich.

Answer 7

According to Einstein, technically yes. However, it would require a craft that can propel close to the speed of light.

Answer 8

The mind can do almost anything if you push it hard enough. As far as your so called time travel experience I would call it brain wash

Answer 9

your mind went there you stayed but time travel is possible.

Answer 10

yes it is...............if you have any muslim friend ask him to translate the chapter "miraaj" ,when prophif mohammad pbuh travel from madina to jerusalam and then to visit haven and return ,with in a friction of a second............or
