time travel?

Question

ok im on spring break and really bored...you'd think i'd head over to florida but noOo, im a 13 year old with no life. so entertain me, tell me ur thoughts about time travel. anything about it...john titor...back to the future...grandfather paradox...theories...stories...what you'd do...the future...just anything you get the point. okay fire away!

stories...what you'd do....*

Answer 1

Time is considered as one of the dimensions that builds our university. Basically this means that it can be used as a variable to perform calculations and predict events. The speed of light (which has time as one variable) was though to be constant, but with careful measuring has been shown to be slowing down. What this means for the future of the universe is still undetermined, but it does mean that the nature of time does change. So maybe, during the big bang things where in fast forward and a million years happened in a day. Then as the universe gets older things go into slow motion with a day taking a million years to occur, all relative to our current perception of time and based on the stretching of the universe. So my theory is that the size of the universe affects the passage of time. I am not sure how this relates to time travel yet, but you have some time to spare.

The smallest measurement of time is based on the time it takes for a photon to pass across an atom. Any smaller and things start to get fuzzy, which is not surprising since a photon can act like a particle and a wave, but that is another topic, maybe.

So we now have the distance between atoms as the place where time exists, not inside the atoms. If an atom was the size of a tennis ball, then the next nearest atom will be 100 meters away. As the Universe expands, the space between atoms expand and time slows down. The signals / charges / magnetic fields / stuff has further to travel so it is going to take longer to get their.

So if you could compress the space between the atoms that make up your body, time for you will speed up and you could do a million years of work in a day, if you lived that long. To the people around you you would just be a blur, if they could see you at all. If you expanded the space between your atoms then time will slow down and you would see a million years of life occur in one day, could be a scary place. So we did get somewhere.

But what about going backwards in time? Explorations into antimatter has yielded some strange results. Antimatter is like normal matter, except all the charges are reversed, so +ve is -ve and vice versa. Some calculations have concluded that this antimatter is actually moving backwards in time. This was a few years ago and unsure of current progress as this would not the first time science has got it wrong. But considering, all you would have to do is reverse all the charges of all the atoms in your body to go back in time.

This does raise at least one dilemma, if there is matter that is traveling backwards in time in our universe, do we have free will? If there is only one universe, then we don't because all events must be fixed, forward and backward through time. Although, there are theory's of a multiverse which suddenly makes the size of existence so much bigger again, and only a decision away. Unsure how to test this one if there are other me's in other universes, but I would like to be the one that has the best life of all of them.

As to how to build a time travel machine that alters the space between atoms and charges of atoms without damaging you will take a deep understanding of all the forces involved and a lot of dedication with some healthy resources. Time may tell.

Answer 2

bah! the people above are just old...especially the first guy talking about no cable

I'm 15 and on spring break too :)

right, so ol' Albert proved that you can't time travel (don't know how you could but he managed) and in another movie they said that you could time view, fire a laser around the universe and come back to you showing the future, seems alright, cept the laser would probably stop at the boulder right outside the base :P

now here's a thought, send someone out in space really fast (isn't there a myth that if you go fast enough time slows down?) and when they come back it'll be a different time, yippe, but what good would that do? you'd probably be stupider then a 5 year old, so get out a fancy recorder and become a tourist! after you looked at some stuff send a signal the opposite way you came, and the signal should come back to earth around the time you departed! then they get all the views of the future without trying to aim the damn laser!

lasers..bah! who needs em!

Answer 3

Well I was actually thinking about this this morning. Deja vu, I was thinking that if you go back in time you don't know it because it would mess up the space time continuum, but deja vu may be a glitch in this, were subconsciously you remember what you went through then feel like you did it already. Have you ever felt like you already did something, well that may be you back in time but you don't know it.

Well I think about stuff when I'm bored, and I agree with the first person that wrote the answer about being a lazy bored generation. I'm only fifteen and I get bored all the time, I wish I was born like twenty years earlier or something.

Answer 4

Turn off the computer and the cell phone, go out and have fun with real live people. Time travel is not consistent with the laws of the universe (physics). If it were possible, physics would fall apart as would the universe. It wouldn't exist. Time travel is impossible.

Answer 5

I often want floor return and forth, yet for long journeys, air return and forth is plenty swifter, so i will use it if i'm in a huge hurry. i've got moved from the East Coast to the West Coast, and this sort of trip takes approximately 4 or 5 days with the aid of vehicle, if i do no longer stop long everywhere, yet there is plenty interesting environment alongside the way that I omit with the aid of air return and forth.

Answer 6

Time travel is theoretically possible, but perhaps technologically impossible. There may well be physical limitations on technological capacity for speed at the mass required that would prevent time travel.

If it was possible, you would have time paradoxes (i.e., where one travels back in time and kills their father; thus they are never born and can't travel back in time to...).

But, I, for one, would sure like to travel back 65 million years and see for myself if T. rex is a predator or scavenger.

Answer 7

In a sense, time travel is possible, can happen, will happen, and is happening. (when i said that time travel is happening, it really is, but only to subatomic particles in the relatavisic world). Anyway, time travel is possible, but to do it, you would need a lot of money and equipment.

Note: it is harder to go to the past than going to the future

Answer 8

You are travelling through time, even as you sit idly, waiting for the world to come to you.

Start travelling, Sister, even if it is just to the local sights.

Then start a blog and write down your thoughts and experiences.

Answer 9

Time travel would make future past and present irrelevant. So, if time travel is ever "invented" in the future, it exists right now. Think about it.

Answer 10

I've always wondered about money and investments and time travel. Lets say I could take $10K back in time and invest in Microsoft. Could I come back to today and find myself to be a millionaire?
