Time / Time Travel

Going faster than the speed of light is not possible, but it was explained by Steven Hawkins, that you can use the method to go forward in time.

Say for example you are in a train, the train is at 99.9999% the speed of light (not possible to get to 100%) If a little girl runs from the train to the front, she would be going faster than the speed of light yes? No, the laws of nature make this impossible, everything inside the carriage would go slower, to make sure this girl cannot reach the speed of light.

So inside the carriage is going slower than outside, so 100 years outside for example, could be a possible 50 years inside.

Another method explained was something about gravitational orbit, the satellites outside earth actually go slower in time than on earth, so they must be reset every now and then go that our GPS system can still work etc.

In the centre of the milky way is a black hole, the gravitational pull on this black hole, was so strong that is collapsed in on itself. If we were to get some sort of ship to get into the right position that we could properly orbit around the blackhole without getting sucked into it, the time on the ship would go slower, which would again allow us to move faster forward into time. This way would be greatly more efficient.

Ofcourse these are extremely far fetched ideas, and of course as we move on in time, these theorys may almost certainly be proven wrong and another possible way actually found. It is however said to be proven that you cannot go back in time, as wormholes would be the only way to do this. Most well known cosmologists agree that wormholes cannot transport you back in time.

If this was possible paradox's may occur, which would effectively destroy the universe. Say for example a man opens a wormhole, goes to the other side and shoots himself in a time 1 minute before. Once his past self is dead, he can no longer kill himself, so he won't be dead. But then he alive, so he will kill himself again.

This repeating over and over would have the effect of say putting a microphone beside the amplifier it is coming out of. Eventually the feed coming out of the amplifier and into the mic repeatedly can explode the amplifier. It is believed that such thing would happen to the universe and why would a flaw such as that be that "easily" done.

I know this is a lot more in detail, but i am incredibly bored, and im sure someone whos interested could have a good read. In short, it would only be possible to travel forward in time. Time itself was not made by man, is was however discovered by man. Time has existed ever since the big bang occurred 13 billion years ago and is expected to continue for atleast double that time.

Go forward in time before you procreate. your grandson shoots you while your in the future- a paradox is born, how can the grandson have shot you if you werent alive to make his father? sooo yeah paradoxes can't be overcome sadly life isn't a sci-fi movie time travel= impossible.
 
The maximum speed anything can go in the universe is 189,000 Miles per second.

When you get close to that speed nature protects it, it does so by slowing down time.

So if you're traveling at 188,000 MPS time for you will be slown down, it will feel like
1 day has gone by, but in reality possibly a month has gone by.

So if you travel at 188,000 MPS for say a week, for you a week will go by, you will
age for 1 week, but when you stop traveling at that speed, 50 years has actually gone by.
that is intense...

Verified. This is key. I'd give it to the year 3000 for us to get to this with ease. Considering advancements from 1 AD to current day..
 
Traveling at the speed of light would cause you and your whole ship/plane to turn into a spec billions of times more dense than a diamond, crushing you and killing you. You do realize this?

I know I agree you would never survive, so time travel is impossible, if it wasn't I would do everything like in Hot Tub Time Machine :D
 
Hafele-Keating Experiment

Check that, technically its possible to visit the future
 
The literal idea of time travel in the sense that science fiction gives us, is impossible. Mainly because, Atoms have a direct set movement and a constant speed. So if we could take every atom and follow it and decide how others paths would affect it we would be able to tell where that one atom would be within 50 years. Now this makes it possible to TELL the future, however this also shows us that every atom has a direct placement in the past,present, and future.

So a paradox arises, if a specific number of atoms are present in one area during the past, than if someone goes back to the past it is presenting an entirely new set of atoms and matter and since no 2 pieces of matter can exist in the same space at the exact same time:
(Example: Say in 1950 at 12:00am on a Wednesday there's a stop sign at the end of a road, now in 2010 that stop sign may be gone, but if we were to travel back to 1950 it would be there, and its spot would be occupied by the atoms of the stop sign and the particles around it, even though we cant see them they still take up space.)

Surprisingly enough, this does bring up a terrifying yet intriguing thought...all of our movements, all of our actions, our lifes, are all predictable. If you think of this from a purely molecular point of view that is.
