Time Travel!

[ahmadjee]

Anyone believes its ever going to be possible?

How about the special theory of relativity, which takes time as another dimension ...?

[who---me]

me me ME mE....

its just a matter of TIME....

[hmcq]

except that the special theory of relativity says that if your on either side of the axis (that is you can either be moving back in time or forward) but you cant theoretically jump from one to the other (unless you can go faster then the speed of light - the current theoretical limit of the fastest possible speed of an object).

No! Black holes are made to not be explored.
Neither theoretical nor practial.

Perhaps irrelevant but Jet Li's new movie "The One" explorers many such concepts. The concept of multi-verse and time travel http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/smile.gif

I recently heard that some scientists have actually made light stop!! Which will give more clues as to what light really is! Waves, bundles, blah, blah etc.

who---me, want to share some more of your findings on this subject!

Have to admit, the idea has fascinated human mind for centuries!

Havent you seen Back to the future????

It is done by a flux capacitor etc etc.. and you have to travel at more than 77 miles per hour..

There..I have shared all my findings http://www3.pak.org/gupshup/smilies/nah.gif ..

On a serious note..

I have an exam tomorrow...I'll give you a ride in my time machine after exams

Beam me up scotty

So does star trek!!!

The Paradox of time....

If you could move back in time and killed you forefathers, would you exist to move back in time to do that?

[ahmadjee]

As our Totty Pahalwan has failed to carry on this discussion on Time Travel, which he believes will be possible I will try to give it some fire to see if people are still interested.

I don't consider the special theory of relativity to be absolute! So even though it has proved to be true in certain instances, it is yet to be accepted in its totality.

Time Travel is part of this dilemma. If indeed man get to travel with the speed of light, then obviously it should be able to move on either side of the distance axes.

Which consequently poses questions like hmcq asked ... what about the four fathers or would your existence be relative to the time you left, or the time you went into.. what about double instance of the same variable and their relativity ..etc

Hummm ...

Well you answered it yourself....its a Paradox. There are a number of solutions to it.

Most popular is that of Heigher number of dimensions (more than 4). Where when ever you move in time, You move to another time dimension. hmmm ..... lemme draw a diagram..

So the person moved back....but into another dimension (wrong word)...and 'place' he came from is still moving forwards.. and now if he goes back after killing his father...he wont be born in Another dimension.

I know it sounds dodgy but thats the best I have heard on the subject.

Another question is...if time travel was possible....where are the time travellers?

Answers I have heard are...

1. Looking at the explaination above...ther are infinite Space-time dimensions, so they might not have hit ours.
2. The world (human race) will finish before we travel in time. With Nuclear weapons and stuff...who knows
3. CIA Spooks are Time Travellers

You are right....Same was with newtonian mechanics before Relativity.

As for time travel itself..

Well Moving in two directions is totally different. considering physics we know today its a matter of which side of C you are on. If you are Aproaching C you move fwd in time. The only thing stoping us from going at light's speed is the infinite amount of energy it requires. But with things like Black holes around (where when mass goes in it..it accelerates to C and then disappears...and we dont know where! (thats the black part of it)), it might not be THAT far away.

As for this discussion.... It wont lead anywhere..All we can do is retype text our books I mean come on "Anyone believes its ever going to be possible?" .... what kindo question is that Kachhi Pehlwan???

[ahmadjee]

and 'place' he came from is still moving forwards.. and now if he goes back after killing his father...he wont be born in Another dimension.

Hum, please explain what do you mean when you say "he won't be born in another dimension"

Do you mean if he goes back to the dimension he came from, he will not be there physically or in other words relatively?

Look... First of all...for time travel...we HAVE to stop looking at time as a Linear Dimension. Right? So that we can move back and forth.

Now time is a constantly moving Dimension as well. So when time traveler get back to the past and stops. Now hes again moving in the forwards direction. Now what I am saying is....take the analogy of a train as a dimension. It moves in one direction, but the traveller can move both ways (if he gets off and goes back).

Now lets assume The traveller is the waiter. The train leaves Khanewal and by the time it gets to multan the waiter find out that there isnt enough food. He figures that ill get off at multan go back and tell ppl to take enough food for the next train. So now hes moving back...while train 1 is still moving forwards. When train 2 leaves Khanewal, it has enough food (when it gets to multan)..but ppl in train 1 (which is now at Bahawalpur) are still hungry.

Makes sense??

I know the example is crude and it doesnt fit the situation completely, but thats what I could come up with.
