Time travel? Fantasy or reality?

Question

I'm 34...will I get to see time travel in my lifetime? (Yes i'm being serious!)

Regards.

Answer 1

Everything is fantasy until it becomes reality.

Books and films about going to the moon were fantasy until 1969.

Scientists acknowledge that science fiction writers sometimes come up with some pretty darned good science and no scientist worth his (or her) salt will ever rule out any theory no matter how outlandish it seems.

You have some very serious minded people working on time travel - Einstein was just one, Michio Kaku is another gorgeous example.

Whether we'll see it in our lifetime is highly doubtful. Some people say that it will never happen otherwise we'd have had time tourists.

Who says we haven't. They may not be able to interact or can interact and have helped shape events without our knowledge or they may have steadfast laws and ethics that prohibit interaction.

There's another theory that says that time travel will be confined to the life of the machine, in other words, you can go back to the day the machine was turned on but not the day before.

I hope I've helped.

Answer 2

Hi,
In all seriousness, yes time travel is real. In both theory as well as practice. Think hard about this one: If even the remotest possibility exists that at some point in the future, the human species is able to develop a working device for instantaneous travel through time AND space (and they already did, roughly 63 yrs 3 mnths & 16 days ago), then our past has already been altered by a technology that we've yet to invent. Confusing?

Have you tried searching for John Titor? Not only is it possible to travel in time and space, but also to parallel realities as well as other dimensions.

What. You think that just because you're a human, you've got it all figured out? Watch the **** hit the fan on a global scale over the next 5 years, okay buddy?

As for you being a time traveller: well, a) it takes a lot of training, but not as much as being an astronaut. Christ, it's not brain surgery or anything, it's only phase shifting, and b) you are already currently travelling "forward" in time at a rate of 60 minutes per hour.

Here's a sight that might help widen your perspective:

Answer 3

The main theory on time travel is to bend the fabric of time so the two ends meet. This could be millions of miles long bent round show the start touches the end. You step from one end into the other and appear on the other side of the galaxy in a fraction of a second.

Only massless energy goes the speed of light so you would have to construct a massless flying machine and get rid of your mass to travel at the speed of light.

I assume this has not been done because no one has come back from the future to show us. So are we in the past or present and has the future happened? Or is there a future infront of us that is not far enough forward into the future for that technology?

Answer 4

Time is relevant to the individual. James Burke did an experiment on TV many years ago to demonstrate time travel: Two people standing on two parallel lines 20' apart, one 20' in front of the other. One throws a ball to the other. To a person stood at the end of the lines, the ball appears to travel 20' in a finite time. To the people on the lines, the ball travels a distance of 29', the distance along the diagonal, in the same time. Therefore, time appears to be travelling faster for the the people on the lines, further distance, same time. As I said, time is only relevant to the individual.

Answer 5

Well, if there was time travel, then every time traveller that has visited us in our time has done so without making a mistake, leaving items of future technology/giving in to temptation and making billions by buying the right shares, winning unfeasible amounts of money. I think long before time travel we will be able to get information from the future, curving laser light at a specific angle.

Answer 6

The actual mechanics of time travel have not been worked out (at least not publicly).

Time, if you notice, is elastic. It stretches out in waiting rooms then snaps back with the speed of light at weekends.

What is needed is a machine that doesn't allow you to go forwards or backwards, but one that allows you to actually have a weekend that lasts for 48 hours.

At the moment, fantasy I'm afraid.

Answer 7

Most likely not since most of our technological advances so far do not have to deal with space and the idea of time travel

Answer 8

Actually you might, Thissounds like a stupid answer, oh well.

1. You don't know whats going to be invented in your lifetime so it could be very well possible.

2. Technically time travel can be caused by going through a black hole (one of the worlds end possibilities that the sun will collapse causing a black hole)

See i told you that sounded stupid!

Answer 9

That depends. In some sci-f movies such as Brainstorm, real events are recorded and than these recordings can be shared with others who download them as their own.If we were able to record these events over many years than it would appear as time traveling also.

Answer 10

between the chars get a pass to by applying a white magician that supplies her or him a ( magic e book , or a ring or a necklace ..etc) whilst he or she is having a walk late late at night by applying a lake or a wooded area ... or between the chars is going late at night on the wooded area or someplace whilst suddently an prolonged haired brunette with an prolonged white dress is panicing and working and drops a ring or a necklace or a wand or something or they detect a tree that has strange stuff writin on it and between the chars places his palms on a tree the place a gate or a portal leads then to a delusion international
