[Time travel] An interesting idea (Not theory)

[_-Gunslinger-_]

So the basic premise is that the people of the future will be benevolent enough to attend a convention once time travel is invented. I doubt the ability to travel into the past will be used for such a trivial purpose but whatever.

It might need more forms of location written on it, after all the people need a place and a time. They probably wont be using current systems in place, or at least theres that chance.

I also thought the request for a cure to a modern-day disease or technologies from the future was really audacious. If humanity were ready for them, they would already be invented.

All that aside I think its a smart idea, and would be determined as a success or a failure almost immediately. And interesting opportunity for time travel to be confirmed but not necessarily refuted if it fails.

Im posting from the future, oh yea DNF sucks. It came out yesterday

[DaShiznit]

Time travel is impossible because supposing that you travel back in time and change something, it will remove it from that time, thus removing it from the future, meaning that you would never travel back in time to begin with. :p

[slytiger]

Time travel isnt really impossible as some astronauts have already traveled through time. All beit a very small amount of time less than a second, it is still time travel. While ya might not think it can happen right now im sure ur idea of it will change in another 20+ years.

All you have to do is get rigged up to a stronger flux capacitor.

Most people think leaps forward / backwards when they hear "time travel".

Time dialation is the phenominon of relative time to the speed of the traveler. If anybody's interested, I could post an explanation in layman's terms. Some of you may find it interesting.

You noobs are missing the point, refer to my posts above.

[ChewyLSB]

Do you mean Time Dilation? Isn't that just when you move too fast, relative to other people, you "skip" certain periods of time? So, basically, if you move at the speed of light, you could barely age, but when you come back into sub-light speeds, you'll have passed through years and years, and time dilates more the faster you go.

[EarlyDawn]

Yeah, time dilation (thanks for spelling) is the phenominon of time around you proceeding faster and faster as you approach lightspeed. Just as Chewy said, if you were to proceed at near light speed (within billionths of one-hundred percent) to a planet many lightyears away, and then return at near-light speed, you would find thousands of years have passed since you've left.

This is a more or less proven physics phenominon. We've done it by accelerating particles of elements and checking their halflives, ect. We don't understand why it happens, but it implies that time has a physical aspect as well.

So i just got done watching this strange movie "what the bleep do we know"

Interesting thoughts, right up my alley too.

The whole reason behind me posting this is to put it out there. What do we lose if it doesnt work? The same could be asked about if it does though.

anyhow... the end!

[EarlyDawn]

Billions of dollars, countless years in R&D, lives lost from defective equipment? :p

interesting idea

[Peacemaker]

If we ever invent time travle we would have known it by now (smart people can figure this out)

Unless it's future only time travel, which has been heavily theorized as being the only possible form of time travel.

[Smaug]

Or if they just invented it to make an extreme form of beastiality porn. Dinosaur on girl.

time is not 1D, it's 2D, which allows you to go back in time, do something, then come back to an unspoilt future/present, it's like traveling to parrallel universes

well, that's my theory

well, that's my theoryAnd that's widely what the evidence supports. There is no legitimate scientific evidence that suggests traveling back in time in OUR dimension is possible. There are theroretically parallel universes within the quantum structure of our reality that are at a different time period then us, but that dosen't make it our universe.

On the side of personal musings, I think the ending of the first Men in Black in fairly close to the truth; we are an element of a sub-atomic structural component in a bigger galaxy. Likewise, our subatomic elements are comprised of even smaller subatomic particles (quarks, gluons, ect). When you get to the most fundimental level, these are comprised of a dimension as well. Regressing universe.
