All I need is a couple of trillion dollars and a PhD............................

[no-to-illegals]

ah, with the post you posted regarding theory I believe you are PhD capable. couple of trillion dollars dang, if only the PhDs were as intelligent as you. Couple of trillion would be a bargain.

Sheesh!......face palm! This whole time I thought we were talking about anti-matter, not dark matter! I don’t know what’s the matter with me. I would try to shed more light on the matter, but with all the Ebola talk, I’m stuck on fecal matter.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I suppose I’ll have to stop using so much!

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Sex?

[rstrahan]

So they base the assumption of the amount of matter on a hundred year old formula, one that had no way of actually measuring how much mass is in our galaxy, let alone the universe. We are still finding whole galaxies.

There is a photo from the Hubble where they focused on a small ‘empty’ space between visible stars. Found hundreds of new galaxies that were not readily visible. Simply garbage science with zero support from the actual world.

I know where all the dark matter and dark energy went.

If it’s true that time travel is possible, then, it’s also true that, all matter and energy from any particular instance in time, have all gone into the past. The past and the present interact, and the present feels the effect of the matter and energy that have “passed on”.

The most current instance of the “past energy and matter”, can be called the “most recent instance of the past universe”, and that instance will be the most felt in measurements. The instance before, will also have an effect on measurements, but not as great as the most recent. The third instance before the current instance of the universe, will also have an effect on the current universe... and so on... up to the very first instance of the universe. All of those instances comprise the “universes”. All of those universes (or instances of the universe), all interact, and they do exist, and it’s why it might be possible to travel to the past. We won’t be able to travel into the future, since, no instances of the universe have “passed” into future times. We can’t interact with what hasn’t already occurred.

Are you saying that dark matter is where the things that went into the past were?

[adorno]

I'm saying that, dark matter and dark energy, is the universe's past, and it's, sorta, haunting us. What is in the past, is still affecting us, physically, and that's what dark matter and dark energy is, the universe's past instances, which are innumerable, or basically, an infinite nu number of them.

You obviously haven’t been to one of the “All you can eat” buffets, have you?

Heh heh... and if you have 100 odds and ends on a table, and 99 of them fall off, what do you have left — an odd or an end? [George Carlin]

[HandyDandy]

All of those universes (or instances of the universe), all interact, and they do exist, and it’s why it might be possible to travel to the past.

So, the past exists presently. If we were to go there would time stop in the present? And could we come back to the same time in the present that we left, or would we come back to a point in time that was as far along in time as the amount of time we were gone?

[going hot]

closer to .0065 of warp one.

So, the past exists presently.

The past is just part of the overall universe. The past is not the present, but, the physical past, including mass and energy, is still part of the universal constant. The past does influence what occurs in the present, but the present cannot influence the past. The present just becomes the past, constantly, while a new present comes into existence constantly. The universal constant includes the present and the past. We still have no means to measure the mass and energy that went into the past, but, it's manifesting itself as dark matter and dark energy.

If we were to go there would time stop in the present?

If we could travel to the past, our presence in the "present" would cease, but the present would just move to a new instance of the past, while a new "present" would come into existence. If a person were to travel to the past, he/she would cease to be in the present, and would continue existing only from the instance that he/she traveled to.

And could we come back to the same time in the present that we left,

Travel in time, is only to the past, and one way. A person would be stuck in the past, and would never be able to get back to whatever was the "present time" when he/she left.

or would we come back to a point in time that was as far along in time as the amount of time we were gone?

Once a person moves to the past, he/she is stuck in that past, but, as we know, that past would be the new "present time" for that traveler. That traveler would never be seen again by those that knew him/her before leaving for the past.

[HandyDandy]

If “I” traveled into the past, would I take with me the memories of the future that I had already spent time in?

[adorno]

No doubt that you would, but, would you survive the trip to the past? Perhaps not, but, mass and energy would. It could be that, bodies larger than the smallest of particles can't travel to the past, so, you wouldn't survive and neither would your knowledge. We may think of ourselves as large entities, but, in the larger sense, we're just particles and energy, and it's those of mass and energy of the past that are "able" to interact with the present.

If it were possible to maintain the shape and characteristics of the human form, you'd be changing the past that you arrive at, which also means changing the future, with your "future knowledge", if you decided to use it.

As far as can be told, nobody has ever traveled to the past, and it may never happen. If it were possible, we'd know about it by now. That's not to say that the past doesn't interacts with the present universe, since, it's known that particles do exist in many places and times "at the same time".

Why? because all the Dark Matter is in prison or hiding?......................
