Not yet..... not use anyway.to bend time
you would have to go through a black hole.but if you did you would be tore to shreads,
unless you was in the right type of ship,

To answer this a person needs to understand what physical time is. The answer is found in the physics trilogy: E = mc2, m = E/c2, and c2 = E/m. These are the three equations that describe the formation of our universe. Notice that in each of these equations that the only value that always remains constant is the value of "c". The reason for this is that all forms of mass and energy and composed of this value. There is nothing in our universe that is not composed of the "c" value. This value is recognized to us as being that of physical time. That is what we are composed of - time.

The physics trilogy also forms limitations on our existence, as well as describing what the basis of physical existence is. It states that all forms of mass and energy pass from the present into becoming that of the past at the speed of "c" (light), and this is constant for all creation. It states that the only value existent to mankind is that of "present time", that which is totally separate from either the past or future. Further it states that all that is possible for mankind to experience is "present time" with there being no possibility of interaction with either the past or future.

All those people who have lived in the past, have their past physical existence in "present time", it has just been changed into gasses and dust. All that ever shall physically exist to makind in the future is existent in "present time", it just hasn't been put together yet. It is impossible for mankind to make a machine that is formed of "present time" and cause it,as well as the person construction it, to have any time value other than that of c2 = E/m.

No. Time can almost be stopped - that is, the relative passage of time with the rest of the universe can be almost cancelled, but it cannot reverse.

If you 'stood' on the surface of a black hole, time would virtually stand still for you. Now, the rest of the universe would continue to move ahead, normally. If you could "watch" it, you'd see the whoe universe age & die, while only a few moments pass for you.

If one could travel at the speed of light, or faster time eventually starts to slow down.

Time is not a quantity, but, a property of space.

Wear a watch and walk backwards. Then you'll be going "back with time".

no, time is an omni-directional vector unlike the 12 other directional vectors.

No. It would be inconsistent with the laws of physics and just think about it ... how could you get somewhere before you left to go there ?

The Time Traveler Convention
May 7, 2005, 10:00pm EDT (08 May 2005 02:00:00 UTC)
(events start at 8:00pm)
East Campus Courtyard, MIT
3 Ames St. Cambridge, MA 02142
42:21:36.025°N, 71:05:16.332°W
(42.360007,-071.087870 in decimal degrees)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE, NO ATTENDEES WILL BE ADMITTED WHO HAVE NOT ALREADY RSVP'D. SORRY FOLKS, OUR EVENT CAN ONLY HOLD SO MANY PEOPLE.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A NOTE TO THE MEDIA: TV cameras will not be allowed at the Convention itself due to MIT regulations. Also, this is a fun event and we do not wish to wonder at all times whether we are on TV or not. I have been scheduling TV interviews, however; please contact me if you would like me to appear on your program. Print/Radio/Internet media are more than welcome! Contact us ahead of time if you would like press credentials for the event, which provide an identification badge and access to the press booth.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR ATTENDEES:
Convention events now start at 8pm for present-time attendees. It will start with lectures and/or music, and at 10pm the moment of truth will arrive. No need to modify any existing publicity efforts, as time travelers can come at 8pm or 10pm.

What is it?

Technically, you would only need one time traveler convention. Time travelers from all eras could meet at a specific place at a specific time, and they could make as many repeat visits as they wanted. We are hosting the first and only Time Traveler Convention at MIT on Saturday, and WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Why do you need my help?

We need you to help PUBLICIZE the event so that future time travelers will know about the convention and attend. This web page is insufficient; in less than a year it will be taken down when I graduate, and futhermore, the World Wide Web is unlikely to remain in its present form permanently. We need volunteers to publish the details of the convention in enduring forms, so that the time travelers of future millennia will be aware of the convention. This convention can never be forgotten! We need publicity in MAJOR outlets, not just Internet news. Think New York Times, Washington Post, books, that sort of thing. If you have any strings, please pull them.

Great idea, I'd love to help! What should I do?

Write the details down on a piece of acid-free paper, and slip them into obscure books in academic libraries! Carve them into a clay tablet! If you write for a newspaper, insert a few details about the convention! Tell your friends, so that word of the convention will be preserved in our oral history! A note: Time travel is a hard problem, and it may not be invented until long after MIT has faded into oblivion. Thus, we ask that you include the latitude/longitude information when you publicize the convention.

You can also make an absolute commitment to publicize the convention afterwards. In that case, bring a time capsule or whatever it may be to the party, and then bury it afterwards.

Can't the time travelers just hear about it from the attendees, and travel back in time to attend?

Yes, they can! In fact, we think this will happen, and the small number of adventurous time travelers who do attend will go back to their "home times" and tell all their friends to come, causing the convention to become a Woodstock-like event that defines humanity forever.

Unfortunately, we of the present (2005) don't have time travel, and so we only have one chance at observing the convention. If the time travelers don't leave us their secrets, we won't be able to go back in time and see our convention in all its glory unless it is publicized in advance.

Isn't time travel impossible?

We can't know for certain. The ancient Greeks would have thought computers were impossible, and the Phoenicians certainly wouldn't have believed that humans would one day send a spacecraft to the moon and back. We cannot predict the future of science or technology, so we can only make an effort and see if any time travelers come to our convention. If you would like to read more about time travel, check out our reading list.

I'm from the future, and I'd like to attend!

We're not sure how you're emailing us from the future, but we'd love to have you! Come as you are! No dress code whatsoever. We do request that you bring some sort of proof that you do indeed come from the future, and haven't just dressed like you do. We welcome any sort of proof, but things like a cure for AIDS or cancer, a solution for global poverty, or a cold fusion reactor would be particularly convincing as well as greatly appreciated. (No RSVP required.)

I'm from the present, and I'd like to attend!

DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE, NO ATTENDEES WILL BE ADMITTED WHO HAVE NOT ALREADY RSVP'D. SORRY FOLKS, OUR EVENT CAN ONLY HOLD SO MANY PEOPLE. Attendance is by RSVP only -- if you're reading this and haven't already RSVP'd, we're afraid it's too late. The East Campus Courtyard is in between the two red rectangles on this map. If you plan on attending, PLEASE check this page frequently for updates. UPDATE 5/2: Convention events start at 8pm now. Feel free to come at either 8pm, 10pm, or anytime in between. We'd recommend coming early as we hope to get some very interesting speakers and musicians for this time.

I'm from the present, and I'd like to attend, but I can't!

No worries! If time travel is invented in your lifetime, you can always come later. Even if it isn't, we'll have pictures and video up at this site within a week or so after the Convention MIT's final exams are over.
