Using math to investigate possibility of time travel

Mathematical model of a 'TARDIS' takes the 'fiction' out of science fiction

Summary:

After some serious number crunching, a researcher says that he has come up with a mathematical model for a viable time machine: a Traversable Acausal Retrograde Domain in Space-time (TARDIS). He describes it as a bubble of space-time geometry which carries its contents backward and forwards through space and time as it tours a large circular path. The bubble moves through space-time at speeds greater than the speed of light at times, allowing it to move backward in time.

Maybe he will have married the GF and divorced her and as part of the divorce settlement she got the RX7.

And the current and theoretical timelines would have merged. Anyway, that is the Terminator version.

Show me the mathematical derivation. This article is worthless.

Time travel is impossible, now or in the future.

If a thousand years in the future someone discovers/invents time travel photos of the grassy knoll in Dallas on November 22, 1963 would show standing room only.

Reagan died of old age. The mere fact that he lived at all, let alone became president means that time travel will never happen. Truth.

Back in the early 1970s when Jon Pertwee played the good doctor (and the best, in my humble opinion), TARDIS stood for "temporal anomalies and relative dimensions in space".

Anyway, time travel isn't possible. If it was, we'd know about it already because it wouldn't matter when it was invented. < g!>

No, it doesn’t because I say so. Which team is going to win the Super Bowl?

Okay, Denver Broncos by 1 pt, (Peyton returns from retirement). But don't tell anyone, okay?

Trump is John Titor. Mike Pence is an even more advanced form of human, with the misfortune of homogenized genetics.

They will be discovered in 2021.
I know this because I just returned from 2022.

I knew it too. Let’s meet here last Tuesday and discuss it.

(I’m getting tonight’s winning LOTTO numbers first though.

there will be no time travel.

There already is. One can travel into the future. But there is no way to travel to the past.

Simply accelerate yourself as fast as possible towards the speed of light. The time dilation effect. Proven.
