Forgive my ignorance . i dont understand the tale p.lease axplain it to me
What makes astronauts appear to age slower by some fractions of a second is relative velocity time dilation--time moves slower as you move faster.
Now time appears to move slower near massive objects because the object's gravitational force bends space-time. It's called gravitational time dilation--it just means time moves slower as gravity increases.

That's why time passes slower for objects closer to the center of the Earth where the gravity is stronger. So technically the more you're closer to earth's gravitational pull, the more time passes slower for you-- that's the reason for the pit analogy I gave.

For now , the closest thing we have gotten to timE travel is time dilation e. G the iss which allows astronauts to experience time slowing down but only by a few milliseconds
Not the same. But I got some good news for you. You don't really have to travel at their velocity in space for you to age slower..Just dig a very big pit, take enough provisions and go and leave under. I promise you when you emerges you will see that you will be younger than your mate..
Though there's just a little side effect--your head will be older than your legs grin
You will get this tale if you know about gravity

Lol. Let me explain. Time zones are nothing special but simply a creation of man. Humans thought of a way to harmonize the whether of a place, as a result of earth's rotation, with the time it will fall in another place. So, it's easy for dawn to set at 6 pm, in equinox, or some other time, in solstice, in every place.
Thanks which means that your brother that fell in the gutter may already be dead by the time you're able to reach his +1 environ from your -6 and not yet to fall in a gutter. Time continues irrespective of the time zone. So you can't use it analogously to time travel.

Someone at -6 can know because it's still happening at a given time only their location on the globe as mapped by the earth's rotation around the sun differs.

so time zone is directly proportional to our rotation around our axis not a difference in TIME as a dimension

When I cross a time zone is anything reversed? No. If my brother falls into a gutter in GMT+1 time zone whole I reside in a GMT-6 zone can I speed home on a concord aircraft and prevent him from falling into a gutter?

Believe? No, don't use the word. You know, when we use believe we may be tempted to drag faith and then religion to it. Have you read the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. His meeting with the Invisible Councillors. That's what an OBE is like.

I don't really know what would happen if such a person is killed but can such a person be killed? It's like being conscious in a coma. Like striking a body without what the French Philosopher Henri Bergson's called the Elan Vitae. I don't anything will happen to its functionality until it returns.

Use this analogy. A television or a desktop connected to a power source. You can not really say the TV or Desktop is dead, that is, no longer works, if a person comes around and hits its screen when it's not connected to a power source. You can only know what the true situation of things is after you connect it again to the Power Source.

Time travel is like a miracle if true. By miracle I don't mean, something that transcends our idea of reality but something that transcends reality. It makes zero sense to me. Help me with this. How do you even go back in time? What happens in the Solar System?
Rey are you simply equating OBE to dreams??
If so then you can't use it to decribe the Matrix and hence you don't really understand what the matrix is all about like you said. I can't answer how to go back in time or the future cause is not yet feasible. There are many assumptions like the black hole, warm whole and even quantum entanglement to achieve it.
Sci-fi is just using these ideas to show us how it will be like. If you read and watch sci-fi so well, you will understand how it makes sense (maybe a little) with what we currently know.

Oh okay you're now putting a full stop to his power.. His powers are now finite and constrained to only logical things like killing people through the help of others and can't do illogical things like raining food from the atmosphere undecided

The Matrix is like an Out-Of-Body-Experience something some of my friends can do.

In X-Men, the dead, by a simple backward movement of a being, are brought to life. It assumes something that is not true and illogical. That is, that every generation live in different universes and their existence is happening at the same time. You don't see it like that?
You believe in OBE but you don't believe that some can travel to the past or the future?
How is it illogical? As you believe the mind can be plucked out of the body..can you tell me what happens when such person is killed in that reality? Can that person be brought back to life again??

I have not seen ant man, i do not even have time to watch movies. We will never be able to manipulate things on the quantum. We are only barely able to manipulate things crudely on the atomic level, which is our own level if scale. Till now, we cannot turn lead to gold by atomic manipulation. The quantum level is so weird that it is like Alice in wonderland. Even Einstein was humbly disgraced when he tried to venture into the quantum level, hence he could not believe "God plays dice with the universe". To me the most crazy aspect of the quantum level is that you cannot determine the position and velocity precisely, measuring one quantity automatically de-measures the other quantity. Now, how can you manipulate anything in such a world ?
You have to know all these things are just assumptions. Nobody claims it's feasible now. If science sticks to what it knows currently, then I doubt that we'll be able to discover a new thing in the future.

I thought he survived because someone called out to him?
No not because someone called him out. He returned to the macroscopic world when he managed to reverse the effects that made him go subatomic. If you can remember there're 2 sort of disks he carries--I think red and blue in colour, one able to shrink things and the other capable of magnifying. He inserted the later in his regulator and was able to return.

I want to jog your minds a little.

Have you watched ant man? The superhero with the ability to shrink himself or matter?

In the movie, he shrunk himself down to the quantum world and nearly died. His scientist mentor noted that the quantum level is an abyss in which no one understands the rules.


What do you think would happen if we could manipulate things at the quantum level.
And he even went subatomic and was able to survive unlike the scientist's wife because he was able to manipulate it. I'll leave what will happen for now because we're yet to understand the quantum world..except if you want me to go sci-fi on you grin

Both are ruled by different laws in each level, Laws of the quantum world (even though we know nothing of it yet) breaks down in the macro-scale and that of the macro-world breaks down in the quantum world.

But the Quantum level is the fundamental ground level upon which the macro- is built.

In the same vein as omnipotence paradox . God is infinite and Supreme . He precludes infinite regression . There is none greater - it is impossible for one to be greater . All Powerful .

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
You know this concept of space-time is very complicated. Let me just answer you in simple terms cause I don't know if you're very familiar with physics.
Gravity and Velocity affects time differently.

Let me remove travel (velocity) from the equation and concentrate on gravity.
Gravity warps space and therefore warps time.
The stronger the gravity, the slower the time appear to pass and vice-versa. Time moves faster for someone on a mountain top because of weaker gravitational force than for someone in a basement underground (which has higher gravitational force). If am an independent observer, I'll notice that the person on a mountain ages faster than the one in basement.
It also appears that someone in space will age faster because time moves faster for them in space because of weaker to no gravity (0)

Oh yeah in all sense, we gonna age faster.
That's why I said science have to circumvent the issue by creating something (you know all these things are assumptions) capable of slowing or stopping the alteration of the human physiology by time. Just like they did with maintaining gravity in vessels in space.

**stop killing my hope of time travelling**
Christianity EtcRe: A Thread For Nigerian Secular Philosophy! by dblackninja:

Yea i get you but this might not necessarily lead to a time travel in the rational sense, maybe an instantaneous teleportation or information sharing.

Beside i doubt if Quantum entanglement is feasible in a macro-scale...
Yeah we don't really know if it's feasible in a macro-scale, but if it's possible at all..and the particles can pair over different time scales then boom...Maybe a particle in this time pairing with one of about 3000 light yrs away or ago , it means Logicbwoy's dog can hop in to this particle and transfer to that of the future or past and hide because of maltreatment..just assumptions though..it will be like a kind of warmhole.

BUT THEY IS ANOTHER PROBLEM ABOUT TIME TRAVEL PEOPLE HAVEN'T REALLY CONSIDERED ON A NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCE HUMANS ARE GOING FORWARD IN TIME THERE BY AGING WITH TIME TOO (THE NORMAL 24 HOURS AT A NORMAL SPEED) IF U THEN TRAVEL FASTER THAN TIME WONT U GET OLD ON THE PROCESS AND DIEhuh ON THE SERIES FLASH I BELIEVE CAUSE HE WAS ABLE TO HEAL HIM SELF HE WAS ABLE TO SOMEHOW WITHSTAND THAT BUT ON JUSTICE LEAGUE A FLASH FROM ANOTHER PARALLEL UNIVERSE TRIED IT AND HE GOT OLD CAUSE HE STAYED IN THE PROCESS FOR SO LONG SO GUYS WHAT DO U THINK IS THERE A LOOP??
Hehe now that's another notion. For something to get to another place it must first travel which of course causes wear and tear..now imagine traveling at or faster than the speed of light. If time travel can be achieved then it won't by running like the flash (it's humanly impossible)..It can be through a time machine which of course can't alter the human physiology just like the coverings that can prevent radiation from reaching the skin
Christianity EtcRe: A Thread For Nigerian Secular Philosophy! by dblackninja:
johnydon22:
That is quantum entanglement. . . A quantum phenomena where two particles very far are entangled that information are passed instantaneously, almost like it's a dual existence of the same particle.

It's still weird to us.

In the quantum world the classical laws of physics manifesting in this macro-world breaks down completely.

even cause and effect breaks down in the quantum world, particles come into existence without needing to be caused, there are subatomic particles that can be induced to accelerate all by themselves almost to the speed of light without the application of an external force breaking the first law of motion of the macro-universe.

further revealing a weird random nature manifesting every way and either way.

I like your thoughts on Quantum entanglement used for time travel, though you may want to elaborate how.

It is a curious thought brother
It's just assumptions though might not necessarily lead to time travel.
I don't really know how to explain this but take it like this:
Now you know that the paired particles can communicate with each other along the Timeline..which means that information can be passed between them even at a speed faster than the speed of light. Since particles can entangle forming something like a quantum bridge, it is also theoretically possible for a particle on Earth, and another say 3,000 light years away to be entangled and hence form a bridge to share information.

So teleporting/ transferring of identity from one particle in the present time, alongside entangled particles (through the quantum bridge), will now get to the other particle pair anywhere else on the Timescale, where the other entangled particle resides at that moment.
Hope you get where am driving at. It's kind of similar to 'Quantum Leap' tv series. Only if we can at 1st solve the mystery behind quantum entanglement undecided
