Time Travel Will Be Possible In 85 Years

[Blackleaf]

why I don't go find some intelligent men to discuss things with

Things would quickly go way over your head.

and you try not to cry too loud cuz those lefties are being all mean to you.

Lefties are mean to everybody who doesn't agree with their strange worldview.

We are traveling through space idiot

We're travelling through space AND time, what are together known as spacetime.

years minutes and seconds are angular measure

Years, minutes and seconds are units of measuring time, just as inches, feet, yards, furlongs and miles are units of measuring distance. Saying that time doesn't exist because seconds and minutes are human inventions is like saying that length doesn't exist because feet and inches are human inventions.

there is no such THING as time.

So you disagree with all those physicists, do you? You think you know better than Einstein?

The faster you move through space, the slower time passes to you. If you were on a spaceship travelling just short of the speed of light, what will be just days on your spaceship would be centuries on Earth. You would leave Earth, fly close to the speed of light for a week, and then when you return to Earth you will find that even though a week has just passed from your point of view (on your spaceship), 300 years, say, has passed on Earth. So you have travelled forward in time 300 years.

You have to think of spacetime as a scale. As you move through space, increasing speed, then time has to slow down to compensate. But if you slow down through space, decreasing speed, then time has to speed up to compensate. When you still - for example sat at a computer desk - you are moving through time at the speed of light. Yet if you were to travel at the speed of light in a spaceship, time on your spaceship wouldn't pass at all.

This is known as Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and it has been proven by highly inaccurate atomic clocks circling the Earth at great speed.

Travelling forward in time is easy. It's travelling back in time which is proving more difficult.

The earth is rotating on its axis, it rotates around the sun which is rotating around the galactic core. Time travel of an hour would put you miles away from your point of origin, quite possibly a few thousand feet up in the air or buried inside a mountain.

Travel a little further in time and you will materialize in space.

So even if it were possible you would need an infinitely complex methodof simultaneous space
travel.

I'm a long time Sci-Fi fan but I still have a bs detector. I

And if it were practical, it would be in government hands.
want to imagine, Obama, Bush, Putin, the PRC ETC., with that power?

Take q bunch of nukes back 60,000 years. Place them carefully then send them to the present detonating automatically.

Depending on who does it first (not whether) oops there goes every target your side can dream of.

Aaaargh!

A better way is to send the nuke back 200 years that way the people just disappear and all the fallout has had time to disapate.

Time travel would only need to have a quantum-singularity hexatromational focal-core emitter (QSHFCE) that tied directly to the specific spacial patterns of the Earth's magnetic core to keep the object going through time locked in place with the planet, as well as to keep locked onto the longitude and latitude of the earth to help ensure the object travels into the exact location as it left. In order to compensate for a different location on the planet, you just need to adjust the parameters of the QSHFCE accordingly.

Taking a bunch of nukes 60,000 years in the past?

Chances are they would be uncovered by many people over the years and either used or worshiped as idols from alien beings who traveled to Earth. Discovering one at the right time would be enough to alter the timeline, humans would advance a pile, and eventually lead to tracking technology to locate the other 59,999 nukes through radioactive traces & patterns.

By that alone, whoever decided to send them to the past would no longer exist as you knew them (if at all) and therefore, could not achieve their goal.

They would have effectively "JJ Abrams'd" the Timeline and more than likely rendered themselves non-existent by their own actions.

If one studies a particular era in history it's possible to travel back in time and stroll through history in the shoes of a person who lived at that time.

"HALT THERE! You match the description of a man who's been stealing Goats!"

"No wait, it wasn't me.... It's impossible that it was me..."

"Where were you on the night of the full moon?"

"I uh... well, I'm from the future...."

"I won't be falling for that again. Come with me!"

 

[darkbeaver]

We are already traveling through time, it's an already fully and finally developed undertaking.

 

[Retired_Can_Soldier]

It already is possible. I am from the future and you are all dead.

Ground Hog Day in reverse.

I know.

One of my favorite movies. Rod Taylor gave a good performance. Have to be an oldster like me to remember that one.

 

[Laneagan]

Me thinks ... NOT likely!
