NASA scientist claims time travel is POSSIBLE because ‘speed of light is changing’

A FORMER NASA scientist has claimed time travel is possible because the “speed of light is changing”.

==============================================================

Louise Riofrio is involved in a project that will put an atomic clock into the International Space Station to “verify” her theory.

She reached the conclusion that the speed of light is changing while working at NASA.

The scientist analysed lasers that bounced off reflectors left by astronauts on the moon, which appeared to show the moon was moving too fast.

But – when she compared it to various experiments on Earth using fossils, observations of ancient eclipses and computer simulations – she found it was actually moving more slowly.

It led her to believe that “the speed of laser light slowing had caused the moon to appear to be moving faster”.

This, she claimed, could be of huge significance when it comes to time travel.

“One thing this says is that we can certainly move forward in time and that we can also change the rate we move forward in time,” Louise told Blake Cousins of YouTube channel thirdphaseofmoon.

“As far as moving backwards in time, if that’s ever possible no equations like this will ever find out that.

“The idea that time travellers could visit us today is beyond our understanding so we really can’t say if there are time travellers among us.”

The scientist also said her theory could allow warp speed – similar to that seen in cult series Star Trek – to occur in space.

“Warping space to reach other solar systems faster than light is definitely something we might do some day,” she added.

It is not the first time there have been claims of time travel existing.

Wacky conspiracy channel Apex TV has posted several videos in the past of so-called time-travellers revealing their “proof”.

One particularly outlandish clip showed a man revealing a photo he supposedly took of a dinosaur – 66 million years ago.

Time Travel may be 'possible', but not in the way people think.

Everything in the Universe is moving. It has and always will be moving in one direction or another.

If you travel in 'time', backwards or forwards, from where you are now, at this second, you would arrive at a very, very cold place with no air to breathe.

Even ONE SECOND will have you thousands of miles from your present location in space..........................

I blame human caused global warming.

Only because of warming oceans and rising sea levels. As reported by the “Cli-Fi Channel”.

I’ve been hearing that the speed of light is not a constant since the mid 90s.

I have heard this before: that some “constants” are not actually constants (like the speed of light), but we made assumptions that they are.

The speed of light is relative to gravity.

Voyager red shifted.

Forget the “time travel” angle, that is just hyperbole to sell tabloids.

If this woman is right, what she seems to be document is light speed decay, something that was long speculated about until scientists decided the evidence for it must all be artifacts of measurement error. However, if it can be shown to be actually happening, then it throws all sorts of “settled science” into disarray, for example, calculations about the age of the universe, the size of the universe, and basing measurements of the distance to other stars on red shift.

If gravity can bend light, then the speed of light is variable..................

I blame that “cult series Star Trek “.
I wonder how much, and whose money paid for this nonsense. Certainly there are more important things to worry about.

I think the "speed of time" is also changing.

It has already been proven that time moves more slowly near large gravity wells or when moving extremely fast.

It also also been show recently that the universe is expanding more rapidly than previously thought. Since the speed of the universe is changing, it follows tha the speed of time changes along with it.

Time travel into the future is very possible, even (relatively) simple, you just accelerate yourself close to light speed or go park yourself next to some extremely high mass object like a neutron star or black hole and wait, for every hour that passes for you, a decade will pass back home. We already know this works and can even be demonstrated on a small scale between people in space and on earth, though the difference is only milliseconds.

Unfortunately, time travel into the past is (probably) impossible as all the means that could be theorized to do it (wormholes and the like) would also destroy whatever was sent back in time in the process and even the theory's themselves are pretty sketchy.

Of the kind that gave is AGW, no doubt.

It’s like living in West Virginia.

It’s all relative.....................
