IF one day scientist find a time machine to travel to the future...??

Question

and example, it's you who's chosen to travel. The time machine works by beating the light speed.
What would you see in the future? LOGICALLY, not your imaginary. because logically, the future hasn't formed yet. so if you travel to a place where hasn't formed, what would you see then?
do you get what i mean??
i'm not wishing for dumb answers.. so please answer me seriously...

ok then.. thx for the smart answers.. i'll change the question..
if you go to the past, what will you see?? because there's only ONE me in the whole world. get it?

Answer 1

I don't want to know that I will marry you in 4.6 years :P

Answer 2

Some people here really shouldn't answer questions such as these, because they really don't know what they're talking about. For example, time travel to the future is perfectly feasible according to Einstein's theory of Special Relativity and in fact it has been PROVED by experiment.
If one is in a spaceship travelling close to the speed of light, a journey that seems to you to take a couple of weeks would have seemed like several hundred years to people back on Earth. This in essence IS time travel. You are able to leap into the future without aging substantially, the only problem being that you cannot go back.
The closer you get to the speed of light, the more pronounced this time dilation effect becomes. So if you had a spaceship capable of travelling 95% the speed of light, you would in effect have a time machine. Even the space shuttle could be seen as time machine, although the relativistic effects of acceleration are miniscule in comparison to near-light speed.

Answer 3

Not sure if that would depend on the machine, or if a machine could even do this. But you would see kind of a haze. And you would be able to sometimes see a blurry present, then half now, half then (while looking in any direction, not to mention moving sometimes. this does cause physical injury.) and sometimes 90% future with the present just like a watermark as your "second body" moves in sync with your future body. Lets say you looked and experienced a snapshot of time 5 years in the future... after 5 years, you will be on the other side of this double exsistance reliving it. realizing that everything is exactly the same as seen 5 years ago. all the efforts, all the shortcuts in between trying to better ones life or whatever..... everything is exactly the same. [it is written]. All of this is accompanied by the shame of God and imense pain.

Answer 4

Well, first off, I'm going to address a problem with time travel and then I'll answer your question so please bear with me. Theoretically speaking of course, it could be possible to travel to the past or to the future, but traveling to the past would have its limits. Heres why. In order to travel anywhere in a time machine, you would only be able to travel to a period when the time machine actually existed. You physically could not travel past the point of invention. Trying to travel past the point of invention would not work because the time machine would not exist past that point so travel past that point would be impossible. And as for traveling to the future, there are many theories that state that time is not a linear state but a multi-lane highway of sorts, split up into alternate frames of time, so in theory the future already exists but with an almost infinite number of outcomes. So if you tap into a particular time line the events in said time line would be what you would experience. I'm not sure if this is what you were asking for but hopefully this information is useful. Enjoy!

Answer 5

one-way travel into the future is arguably possible given the phenomenon of time dilation in the theory of relativity . if you could travel at the speed of light, you
would experience no passage of time! This is because of the time-dilation
effect of Einstein`s Special Theory of Relativity that states that at
velocities approaching the speed of light, c, your perception of time is
proportional to the square root of ( 1 - v^2 / c^2 ) which goes to zero.
you dont really need a time machine. Just travel away from earth close to light speed and come back, your time travel could be a few years while earth time has gone much faster, say 100 years.
look for this questions "NOVA: How is the speed of light connected to time travel?
"

Answer 6

Time is more a mathematical event, and we sense it in that we learn from the past and project that to a future, but they are not the same and travel in that will not be able to occur. I would expect, though, that what you may be thinking about is more a dimensional movement which may allow for some movement if we can harness the true nature of it, not to be expected any time soon. it was said some time ago that if there are "visitors" here from somewhere else that they would not travel such huge distances, that there are places very close to us that we are dimly aware of. The universe is not homogeneous.

Answer 7

If a time machine could be built to go to the future there would have to be some one there who already had a machine.
When he jumps in and goes to the fast he will either find some one ahead of him or he will introduce it to the cave men.
It's a good question but time travel will never be.
That's where Alley Oop came from.

Answer 8

not an answer really, but people here seem to be looking at time as linear concept which i don't think it is you need to start thinking about time as reality if a "time machine" was invented it would be bridgeing the gaps between our perceived realities to travel to a place that could be in the "future" or the "past" just because we havent seen or experienced that reality doesnt mean it isnt there or hasnt happened so in an answer to your question the possibilities are infinite so no real answer.


p.s. there isn't only one you there is an infinite amount of you's everywhere all the time try to think infinity. infinity

Answer 9

First law of time it is impossilbe to go back in time...

Second law it is very possible to travel forward in time but you have to near light speed to achive it.

Now the relevant stuff

It has formed but in your prespective it hasn't because are living in current time (Or as you perseve it). You movein 4 dimesions 3 of which you have free movement and one that you move in a straight line which you call time but some things exsist more than others anything that can deflect the any part of the photon specturm is mass. Then you have photons, quarks, stranglets and a whole load of others that you'd rather not like to know about. So it does exsist it is how you perseve time. You see what you see and I see what I see. you do not see what I see. This in philosphy is call perseption difference. So basically it's more than possible but you would need aneutron star to power so keep dreaming

Answer 10

Ok, first off, as you approach light speed, time begins to slow down for you so, logically, if you went faster than light, time would start to move backward. Second I think that if we tried to go to the future...nothing would happen, it wouldnt work as the future is constantly changing by our decisions, and if we somehow went to the past, i beleive that we would see things that happened...in the past.

Answer 11

You cannot travel ahead in time, only backwards. Additionally, you can only travel as far back in time as the machine was originally turned on.

A university scientist is currently constructing what he believes to be a machine that could receive digital messages from the future. He'll have it turned on in a couple of years, and he suspects that he can begin receiving messages immediately since future scientists will know the exact time when the machine was turned on. Saw it on discovery.
