Time Travel
 

Hey guys,

Thought i'd start a post about time travel. I have always been fascinated by it. Anyone have any input or stories?? Any thoughts welcomed. Just want to hear what people think. Possible? Not possible? Also, what is your favorite time travelling movie?

If time travel will ever be invited; it is possible now. By traveling back to this time. Or, if "time" is split dimensionaly. Then traveling in time could be a separate dimensional split for each time traveler. For each person's experiences are built buy their expectations, beliefs, and perceptions.

Are you talking about parallel universes? I definitely feel it's possible and might have already happened. I'm sure it won't be known to us till very far in the future.

It would likely never be know as the very act of finding a method to measure, interact or even detect would change the spilt to something else. Oh great now my head is spinning.

Mine is too. I just found this interesting article. http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Liverpoo...In-Bold-Street

You can't travel back. Only forward. You can slow or speed time but you still cant go back. You cant stop it completely, but you can slow it enough that it appears stopped.
Here is an example of that http://www.nature.com/news/world-s-s...t-last-1.13418

An experiment was done with two watches, one on earth, one with astronaut in space, after few weeks he back back to earth, the watch that went to space was slower.

Planet of the apes. all of them.

That pretty much sums it up for me. Forward time travel is (relatively) easy, reversing that, not so much. A decent article where Stephen Hawking agrees

Damn dirty apes!

Einstein says as you approach the speed of light, your mass becomes infinite, as does the need for the energy to push you. To travel sifnificantly into the future would break the laws of conservation of momentum, inertia, and energy.

The Terminator series ruined the concept of time travel for me. I'm worried if I did something as trivial as killing a bug I'd trigger the doom of human civilization.


If time travel were an option and there was a "spectate" mode then I'd gladly do it. Would love to see major historic events unfold live and in person....er "in ghost".

I'd love to travel to the future and not the past. I wouldn't want to find out what happens to me but just the world in general.

The idea of time is so interesting.

The time travel that always blows my mind is time dilation, where an astronaut is blasted around the sun at near light speed, in his ship only ~50 years passes yet on Earth more than 500 years have gone by.

Maybe it blows my mind because it's almost possible? Damn dirty apes...

And this is where things get messy!
What if you were supposed to kill that bug but didn't because you were afraid of changing things? The very fact that you didn't, but were supposed too, will now change what happens.
But... does that also not mean that maybe you were not supposed to all along, but if you did, then the very act of stepping on the bug was what decided that you actually should have done it in the first place.

The Terminator series ruined it for me, but not because of that (I'm going with the Star Trek (reboot)) theory that it doesn't matter...

Why it ruined it for me is because I'd have to do it naked, and nobody wants to see that!
