Time travel is possible – but only if you have an object with infinite mass

I’d like to travel to 2020 and return with a copy of the Wall Street Journal.


You won’t like it. I just got back.

it is just too boring. President Trump was reelected, Hillary and Obama were in prison, Pelosi was admitted into a psycho ward after flashing the house when in session to oppose the new round of tax cuts, and Schumer was involved in a massive RICO Act indictment involving the mob.

-the “winning” just wouldn’t stop!!!

Since time and space are two forms of energy, & mass and energy are interchangeable, any object or person or mass traveling in a time warp would appear to “float” off the ground to an observer standing nearby, due to the effects of gravity being nullifed in its vertical vector component.
Howsomever, the object in the time warp would appear to move away at the displaced vertical acceleration of gravity which has shifted to the horizontal vector [which has replaced the vertical vector due to the quadruple 90 degree symmetrical gravity/time/space/energy waveforms.] Due to the time warp effecting the vertical gravity vector, the weight of the object would appear to nil. Thus a 300 pound wrestler could be pushed away by your little finger at the acceleration of gravity. The wrestler would appear to the observer to be “frozen in time” as he/she is moving away.

So the second law of thermodynamics is a hoax?

I could get a spaceship, travel at the speed of light for 20 years and come back, and the earth would have aged 100 years, so I would have time-traveled into the future!

I could gather up all the winning lottery numbers and stock market quotes!

Not sure what I’d do with them, though.

It is all explained in perfect detail in the Bible.

Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 He was with God in the beginning.

3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

I revise and extend my remarks.

Apparently, the best I could hope for would be maybe 90% speed of light.

In which case, after a 20 year flight, the world would have aged maybe 40-some years.

And according to Al Gore, would have since become a flaming globe covered in water.

There has to be time travelers visiting us from the future. How else would all the history revisionists get their ideas?

The laws of thermodynamics appear to be quite "real" ... from the perspective of the cast of characters :-)

Or, maybe time travel is only a one-way trip. You can travel to the future, but traveling to the past is impossible.

See the time machine in Futurama as a case study.
