time travel?

Question

If we built a launch pad on the equator.
And the ship went up into space, along the equator, but
in the opposite direction of the spinning of the earth.
And the ship flew thru space twice as fast as the spinning of the earth...
Wouldn't the people on the ship look down and see their ship still on earth, because they are going back before the ship took off for space?

Answer 1

I dont think i completely understand what your saying, but going against the spin of the earth does not induce travel through space and time, if your interested to learn an idea of time travel then check out this website, http://science.howstuffworks.com/time-travel.htm
or if that doesnt work go to howstuffworks.com then search for time travel.

Answer 2

The flow of time has nothing whatsoever to the direction of rotation of Earth.

They would see Earth spinning beneath them, just as expected.

The reason rockets go into orbit in the same direction Earth spins, is simply to gain the kinetic energy of the surface. The difference is something like 2,000 km/h, so it matters.

Answer 3

NO!

I suspect that you may be suggesting that once the craft travels in the opposite direction and twice as fast that it will somehow find itself in yesterday.



It will, however, pass over it's point of origin 8 hrs after take-off (potentially tomorrow for an early evening departure).

Answer 4

I understand it is much easier to time travel using astral projection or Remote Viewing. Unless of course you want to stay in that time period. What if an advanced culture has been recording our world this way for thousands of years?

One of several Remote Viewing descriptions:

Answer 5

no, you need to travel faster than the speed of light to travel back or find a worm hole

Answer 6

no but if you went at almost light speed time would slow down for you.

Answer 7

NO!
