time question?

Question

if you could stop time in a certain area of space time would you be able to put in information and take it out from any time?
like say i start it up and time stops in this lets say car sized area and i live this machine on that will stop time for this area for 100 years could i give and recieve any information put into this area at any time within those 100 years?

Answer 1

It should be obvious. If you could stop time, nothing would happen. If nothing happened, there would be no information to get out, and you couldn't put any information in because inserting information would be causing something to happen, and that can't happen without time.
More technically, time is not something you can start and stop. It is a measurement of activity in the universe. In other words, time is information. To stop time you would have to remove all activity from your sector of the universe. This means removing all matter, antimatter, and energy from your sector of the universe, and also preventing any interaction whatsoever with the matter and energy in the rest of the universe. In other words, you would have to remove your space from the universe. But wait, space doesn't exist outside the universe, so you can't do that.
So what have we learned? Say it with me: Matter, energy, time, space and information are inextricably bound together to form what we call the universe.

Answer 2

The only way you could find that out is to try it!

I would say that is incredibly unlikely...

If time were to stop, in your "area" of space, a" I believe that upon exiting the "area", you would find yourself in a completely random time, one time a few seconds may have passed outside, to your 100 years, and another time, a hundred years inside the "area" could equate to several spans of creation / destruction (c/d) (wether a superior being is involved or not). I believe that time is not linear, but it loops around in and out of what we know, so that we perform each moment of our lives perhaps trillions of times, and so your "area" would have to exsist in the centre of a loop, that could span several c/d cycles, or be a tenth of a milli-second long. This howver theory is completely unsupported by any scientific evidence, except for the exsistence of deja-vu! If you wanted to ask anyone, I would say that the best person to ask about this, is Albert Einstein, although your theory would have to be correct for you to be able to contact him!

Or maybe he managed to get HIS time machine working, which is unlikely, considering it involved the such like as 2 neutron stars and a metal ring of nearly infinite diameter! If he did, then he might pop into dinner with you last Tuesday or something

Hope this helps, if not now, then maybe sometime next millenium.

Answer 3

Think of it this way. If your writing a work of fiction and you invent a new character for your story, will he be a good guy or a bad guy? Will he be tall or short, skinny or fat, smart or dumb etc.? Basically it's your story and you can endow your character any characteristics you choose.

Likewise when you start making up fantasy stories about physical events which can never take place. You're inventing your own new rules which have absolutely nothing to do with the real physical world. So you're free to make anything you want happen in your fantasy world. If you want to stop time and send information there, that's entirely up to you.

Answer 4

Well you can't stop time, to stop time you would have to travel at the speed of light and that's impossible. But reaching the speed of light is a paradox as well. The faster you move the space the slow you move through time. And speed is a ratio of distance covered over time.
If you were to travel at 25% the speed of light (165,000,000) to your stationary observer, you would move through time at If 75% the rate you would if you were standing still. So in your cockpit it would your spedometer would say you were moving at 660,000,000(the speed of light) you were able to travel at half the speed of light (345,000,000 mph) to a stationary observer, time would only be moving forward for you at half the usually rate. So from your prospective, you would be moving at 670,000,000 MPH. You hit the turbo boosters and move at 502,300,00 MPH and you move through space at 75% the speed of light, you move the time @ 25% the speed you normally do, again your speedometer would read 670,000,00 MPH. As you can see the faster you move through space, the slower you move the time, and because speed is a ratio of space to time, you would never be able to reach the speed of light and stop time.

But in there lies a paradox. If you had a machine that could stop time and it had a time throttle, if you set it to 0 and time stopped completely for you, how do you get it to start again??? You can't throttle time up again, your time is stopped. You couldn't put it on a time delay, your time is stopped. The moment you stopped time you would be stuck there forever.

Oh course These are just theories, we've never been able to experiment with these as we can't reach those speed and we don't have a machine that will stop time.

Answer 5

If I understand it, what you are really doing is removing time from tihs car-sized area...you want time to continue in the universe around the car-sized space, but to not continue within the space.
In order for time to stop as you describe it, all functions within the space must also stop: no waveforms may cross it, no physical force placed upon its envelope will be transferred to its interior. The space becomes inert.
The car-sized space must, therefore, become a "black body", which has no relationship with its environment for the one hundred year period.
In order to do this, the entire car-sized space must be shrunken to a size which becomes insignificant to its surroundings. That is to say, the physical universe size of the car-sized space must become insignificant to its environment, for one hundred years.
This is actually what Einstein was saying about matter as it approaches the speed of light. According to his calculations, in order for matter to travel at the speed of light, it must have lost its physical component in the direction of its travel: if you are observing the fast-moving matter from in front or behind, when it reaches the speed of light, it cannot be defined as matter anymore!
Another way of looking at it, in order to keep the car-sized space stationary in the universe, the entire set of particles must be made to vibrate faster than the speed of light. They would then not participate with our universe of waves and particles.

IF you get both ways of looking at it as I have described them, then you can begin to understand why the region of black holes found inside the Gravity Event Horizon is antimatter, and resides outside of space and time.

Answer 6

Cosmologists love to talk about time as if it were some physical entity that can be played with in algebraic equations. For the rest of us, time is an abstract concept that is almost impossible to define precisely. However, we all experience the passage of time. The passage of time is immutable. It cannot be stopped. A clock can measure the passage of time, but the passage of time is independent of any clock or measuring device.

Answer 7

The nature of time that we sense is a psychological manifestation that allows us the ability to learn. We know we are, we were, and we will. If we didn't have that (an interesting experiment done with hypnosis) we would not be able to function as so much of what we are is learning based as opposed to animals that have much more hard wiring and less learning.
Time is more a mathamatical manifestation it would appear.

Answer 8

I think in some different galaxy you could, like where there backwards is 400 yards in front of them, and 2+2= -250.

Answer 9

I think the only way to know for sure is to be able to stop time and we can't do that. (get a hobby)

Answer 10

Your question needs a little more thought, my friend. Remember, spacetime is everywhere.
