Time Travel : Real Or Fictional .. .?(how Possible) ? by Nobody: 2:07pm On Jul 08, 2014
I've been
thinking critically & following the world of physics &
attempts made by some scientist /mathematicians
to prove time travel which some did theoretically ,
but for real , how possible is it to travel back to the
past / to the future .?
gat to be "supernatural " i suppose .

benbuks: its mere fiction

i think we should create a thread on this , I've been thinking critically & following the world of physics & attempts made by some scientist /mathematicians to prove time travel which some did theoretically , but for real , how possible is it to travel back to the past / to the future .?


gat to be "supernatural " i suppose .

Its possibe to travel into the future but not into the past. The problem that comes with your "thomas" like belief is your understanding of what travelling into the future means.

Stephew hawking explained how time travel can be possible using the speed of light as a case study.

When you travel at close to the speed of light, time moves much much slower, relative to an observer not moving at light's speed.

In other words, if i happen to be in some machine that can speed close to 99% of light's speed. Unknown to me, time is moving much more slower compared to those on earth. So, by just travelling one week in that machine, a 100 years would have past on earth. When the machine stops and i get back to earth, everything would have changed. Most of my mates dead but fortunately, i would have aged only by week. So you see, i have travelled into the future..

In CERN at geneva. There is a propelling machine that propells tiny particles at the speed of light. These particles are called "p-mesons". They last for only 25billionth of a second but in that machine, their life span has been found to last 30 times longer.

My battery is low for now so i might reply late, later in the day. Forgive my typos. It was typed in a rush!

hmm OK till you come online .,
you need to understand that , am a "scientist " that hardly believes impossibilities exist . but some things obviously cant happen .
Well, i'm not a scientist per say. Lets just say i am interested in interesting stuffs.

Ok! Things like what.

I keep getting the battery low notification but the phone is yet to die, so lets continue.

You also know that gravity has a very profound effect on time right?

At the black hole, some 26000 or so light years away from earth is where brags of the strongest gravitional field anywhere in our galaxy. There, times moves 1/2 the fraction of what we experience on earth..

100 years on earth is 50 years there. So to some very reasonable extent, the black hole is a natural time machine.

Still on gravity: Time moves faster in space compared to earth due to both's relative position to earth's gravitational field which is strongest on earth. As i am talking to you right now, satellite's in space are a fraction of a second or so into the future . So its only logical to say that time travel into the future is very much possible---depending on how you wanna look at it.

But above all, i believe the speed of light is our best shot at time travel.

Yes. angry

If you can travel faster than the speed of light which is 3×10^8ms^-1, then you can actually travel through time.

We might not be able to time travel today, tomorrow or next week but somehow, somewhere in the nearest future time travel will come to reality.

I read something about neutrino travelling faster than the speed of light last year and upon Google searching it, viola! Here is what I saw:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light_neutrino_anomaly

Btw op, have you ever heard of wormholes?
Re: Time Travel : Real Or Fictional .. .?(how Possible) ? by Holuwahphemy(m): 3:26pm On Jul 08, 2014
Wow! this should be interesting. I love stuffs like this. (grabs a sit and following bumper to bumper) I might contribute later on.

Damn! That was loooong read.

So neutrino wasnt widely embraced by physicists cos it didnt tally with many experiments that have been conducted which did confirm Einsteins theory of Special relativity.

I remember Stephen Hawkings confidently saying that the universe forbids anything to move beyond the cosmic limit. The opera experiment which noticed netrino moving faster that light must have been a slap in the face. cheesy

I tell you bro.

That's why I hate it when people who know nothing about science keep saying something is impossicant.

Talking about invention in the world of science, there's nothing like impossible, time might just be a factor to consider.

why not into the past .

time travel is NOT possible for now. To time travel, we would need infinte energy to create a wormhole. No knows where to find an infinite source of enrgy. Plus the multiverse theory makes time travel look more complicated

exactly the point bruv,

scientist only strife to set up ideal particles e.g the neutrinos which was claimed to out-pace light's pace

it was also claim that an action happens before it happens ( i.e if & if those ideal particles really exist ) ,

am a lover of physics though not a "physicist" , lets be realistic & factual , in traveling through time /bending time , does it mean escaping from earth & landing in some "other" universe . ? which we may call " future"/"past " how exactly . it is going to happen , ( its really driving me crazy )

hmm , well lets see what the future brings

#team.the.possibility.of.time.travel.gat.to.be.supernatural.but.not.scientific.

i rest my case.
