I was looking for schematics. :)
We already travel through time, always forward into the future. The problem is with changing direction and/or speed.
You are time traveling right now.
This is’t Star Trek, this is Free Republic.
or Perhaps you are hear to make us look foolish...
This is totally bogus. I invented a time machine. Currently it only works into the future and at a speed of 1x.
Who wants unaged cheese?
You have it backwards. It is possible to travel into the future, just not into the past. Time travel into the past almost certainly violates the “grandfather paradox”, in other words causality. (The one caveat to this is if in fact there are an infinite number of parallel universes, then “time travel” might be possible as instead a trip into a different universe.)
However, time travel into the future is certainly possible, and very likely at rates other than “1x”. The two most likely possibilities there are suspended animation of some kind, or relativistic time compression. One known possibility for the relativistic form would be to approach the event horizon of a large black hole such as are at the center of almost every galaxy. If the black hole is large enough, the tidal forces won’t rip you into pieces as you approach.
I already time travel. The admins zotted you back on May 16, 2007. You time jumped just prior to the ozone smell. Please sit still this time and keep your hands off of the flux capacitor.
We now know the airplane, steam engine, electricty, etc. were once in our future. Likewise time travel, if possibile is somewhere in our future, wheather 300 yrs from now or 300,000 it may be a reality.
I once took a connecting flight from Atlanta, Georgia to Huntsville, Alabama. The flight left Atlanta at 11:00 AM, but landed in Huntsville at 10:45 AM.
Time is an illusion. There’s nothing to travel back into. The past isn’t just past - it no longer exists. There is only now.
Ping for comment.
Ya know SS, you really need to start filtering that firewater you brew through something other than a 1939 Ford truck radiator, and start drinking a lot less of it...
Time travel can be done but only to the future.
Now I think I’m going down to the well tonight
and I’m going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don’t sit around thinking about it
but I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
a little of the glory of, well time slips away
and leaves you with nothing mister but
boring stories of glory days
And time travelling to Fenway Park for anything will simply end up breaking your heart.
Unless you were that zombie on the sidelines in ‘86 screaming, “must kill buckner.”
I find the concept of a time machine amusing. I sure wouldn’t want to be the first to try one, though. I imagine perhaps a miraculous success as the first human safely travel back to a specific point in time and finds themselves surrounded by a black, frozen void as the machine’s atmosphere leaks into space...the inventor and engineers not having taken the expansion of the universe into account...
Nothing to it. I can time travel on the toilet, with no hands.
