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.
The Past is done, the Future hasn’t happened. Yet. Yet. Yet.
Here’s another thing about those Climate Change reports. Every measurement has an estimate of uncertainty associated with it. Those estimates are not just guesses. They can be calculated.
But you never see such estimates in Climate Change reports. We are just told that the oceans are rising by 2 inches per year (or whatever). Many folks take that measurement as exact, when of course it’s not.
So what is the estimate of uncertainty? Who knows? When you are measuring something as vast and unpredictable as an ocean, it could be plus or minus 10 inches per year, or even more.
That would make a measurement of a rise of 2 inches per year worthless. The oceans could actually be falling (2 in - 10 in).
time is space. at the edges of the universe space is expanding faster than light can travel, while light is a unit WE use to measure time, which is distance.
If they develop space ships that can travel faster than light, how do they avoid meteors, asteroids, planets and space junk?
The navigational deflector (also known just as the deflector, the deflector array, the deflector dish, the main deflector, the nav deflector for short, or the parabolic dish) was a component of many starships, and was used to deflect space debris, asteroids, microscopic particles and other objects that might have collided with the ship. At warp speed the deflector was virtually indispensable for most starships as even the most minute particle could cause serious damage to a ship when it was traveling at superluminal velocities.

“at the edges of the universe space is expanding faster...” Expanding into what? I’m not disagreeing with you, I’ve just always wondered what the universe is expanding into. If you could go to the very edge of the universe what’s on the other side to expand into?
That is a problem that has been a part of sci-fi novels for decades.
One unique ‘solution’ I read was a huge ice shield slightly ahead of the space ship, that would shield the ship from damage from hitting a hydrogen atom at the speed of light.
Another ‘solution’ was the ship was not traveling in ‘space’ but in ‘time’, making small ‘jumps’ of milliseconds at a time into the ‘future’ while the Universe was moving............
The speed of light and rate of radioactive decay have and continue to decrease. This provides evidence for thecreation of the universe as being a rapid expansion as stated in 16 verses in the Bible in both The Old and New Testaments (God spread out the heavens). it also refutes Big Bang theory since this expansion took place at a rate vastly faster than the BB theory could possibly allow. It also discredits the claim that red shift is evidence the universe is billions of years old and provides for a young universe.
The edge of the universe is the limit at which we can detect anything. That doesn’t mean there isn’t anything past that edge, but it probably does mean we can’t know.
A spaceship traveling at near light speed. Particle density in intergalactic space is taken to be at least 1 hydrogen atom per cubic centimeter. How is this any different then an accelerator like say the LHC firing particles (hydrogen atoms) at a stationary target. This time the atoms are moving at near light speeds & the target is stationary. In the spaceship the, target (the ship) is moving and the particles are stationary. This likely a lot of high powered radiation to deal with!
But my question still holds no matter where the "edge" is. This will always be true unless one contends the universe is infinite but there is no such thing as an actual infinite. You end up with the flip side of an infinite regression.
I'm almost certain time has been speeding up for me... (The years from my 80th birthday until my 85th birthday seem to have lasted for only few minutes...)
Seems that in order to make any accurate “speed of light” or distance calculation, one would need a baseline from outside space and time itself.
Agree wholeheartedly. The universal constants have to each be just right or there's no such thing as atomic cohesion. There's greater chance that my kitty cat can walk back and forth across my keyboard and by random chance produce a new iPhone app than all of nature be fine-tuned just right for life to exist.
Only the ‘speed of light in a vacuum’ is constant.
Light is slower in other mediums.
seems like she would be shooting through atm of varying densities.
Yes, time speeds up as you accumulate more of it.................

Time travel is a reality. Simply put, Einstein's Relativity (Time dilation) states that a clock in motion ticks out time more slowly than a stationary one at one's side. This had some time ago been verified by experiment.
From Wiki...
The Hafele–Keating experiment was a test of the theory of relativity. In October 1971, Joseph C. Hafele, a physicist, and Richard E. Keating, an astronomer, took four cesium-beam atomic clocks aboard commercial airliners.
They flew twice around the world, first eastward, then westward, and compared the clocks against others that remained at the United States Naval Observatory.
When reunited, the three sets of clocks were found to disagree with one another, and their differences were consistent with the predictions of special and general relativity. ..."
Kinematic time dilation
According to special relativity, the rate of a clock is greatest according to an observer who is at rest with respect to the clock. In a frame of reference in which the clock is not at rest, the clock runs more slowly, as expressed by the Lorentz factor.
This effect, called time dilation, has been confirmed in many tests of special relativity, such as the Ives–Stilwell experiment and experimental testing of time dilation.[1]
Considering the Hafele–Keating experiment in a frame of reference at rest with respect to the center of the earth, a clock aboard the plane moving eastward, in the direction of the Earth's rotation, had a greater velocity (resulting in a relative time loss) than one that remained on the ground, while a clock aboard the plane moving westward, against the Earth's rotation, had a lower velocity than one on the ground.[2]
Gravitational time dilation
Main article: Gravitational time dilation
General relativity predicts an additional effect, in which an increase in gravitational potential due to altitude speeds the clocks up.
That is, clocks at higher altitude tick faster than clocks on Earth's surface.
This effect has been confirmed in many tests of general relativity, such as the Pound–Rebka experiment and Gravity Probe A.
In the Hafele–Keating experiment, there was a slight increase in gravitational potential due to altitude that tended to speed the clocks back up.
Since the aircraft flew at roughly the same altitude in both directions, this effect was approximately the same for the two planes, but nevertheless it caused a difference in comparison to the clocks on the ground.[2]
