Hmm i dont think you fully understand where im coming from.

Exactly...

Easier said than done im sure...

I am. I send the painting to myself from the future but the me that receives it doesnt send it back at all when it becomes time to. We either have to sacrifice free will or a single future for it to work.

But why not? If you follow all the steps that is what would happen. If not, where am i going wrong?

But yet i still end up with a painting that i painted in my time machine that ive apparently never painted and havent sent back. Hence the paradox.

Ok - i signed and dated it before i apparently placed in the time machine and left myself a note attached to it.

But the painting is on my wall and i havent let anyone touch it. Is this similar to the no choice solution to the grandfather paradox? If so wouldnt the painting end up in a time loop? And when i come to paint the painting, wouldnt i already have a copy of the painting? In other words id be painting the painting that would already be sitting next to me completed. If not, where does the other painting go?

Ok in the order of which they happen accroding to the thermodynamic arrow of time: I find painting in time machine that i painted in the future and sent back to myself. I hang painting on the wall and leave it there, not sending it back to myself as i apparently must have in a different future. So how do i still have the painting when i didnt send it back in order for me to find it in the time machine? In other words a painting that ive never painted has appeared from nowhere. If you can explain how my order is wrong and how im thinking about this the wrong way then please do so.

I guess the multiple holes could work ... Although what would be stopping them from closing again in your idea? (This is where my negative mass comes in, to keep them open).

How should i be looking at the events?

Ok another paradox other than the grandfather one: I build a timemachine and one day i find a painting in there that was painted by a future me. I decide to hang the painting on my wall and leave it there. Where did the painting come from if i dont send it back to myself again? How a painting ive never painted suddenly appear from nowhere? Maybe the infinite universe idea could clear this up, but then how would we ever determine which past universe we'd end up in?

You mean line up a load of quantum wormhole in a "sheet" to make one giant one?

Yes it would be and the theory on how to increase the size of a quantum wormhole to a macroscopic wormhole and control it is already on the drawing boards apparently. Then however, concepts such as negative mass etc crop up ... Edit: Meson at last

Im not offended wormholeman, i was simply trying to get my point accross. From what you've said about smaller wormholes, i trust you are talking about them at a quantum level? If so then quantum wormholes would come in and out of existance all the time and at random. Macroscopic wormholes are impossible from my understanding.

Light bends because it "prefers" to take the shortest route, you could explain using phasor probabilities but that draws away from the topic. The shortest path through the "dip" in space caused by a mass is overcome by a geodesic which causes the light to bend round that mass. As far as i know, the curvature of spacetime has nothing to do with how hot an object is. If that isnt what you meant, i suggest you make your post a little clearer next time.

By "shortcut" i assume you mean something like a wormhole. With wormholes the speed depends on the frame of reference. If a photon were to travel from A to B to C at c it would take t seconds and cover distance d. If a wormhole connected A to C then t would be reduced, but from the objects frame of reference it covered < d. Therefore the speed would be dependant on this new value of d, hence it would still be c.

id have thought so - undertaking wave behaviour it would just go: /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ through the cable. Would there be any reason for the plane of polarisation to change?

Im not knowledgable enough to be able to properly find flaws in a PDF file i found, it seems to explain how a neutron can be formed by combining a proton and electron. The file can be viewed here. Any thoughts or comments?

c cannot be exceeded and is the speed of light in a complete vacuum (which would be impossible to create). For this reason, the speed of light would slow down while passing through a flame because it would be absorbed and re-emitted and its average speed through the flame would be < c.

There is also a theory about parallel universes being created whenever a "decision" is made. For example, the Universe before i wrote this post split into two. One Universe contains me writing this post while the other has me deciding not to write this post. Of course, on a quantum level there are infinite number of decisions being made and would therefore create an infinite number of parallel universes.

Would calling large things female and small things male have anything to do with a comical stereotype? For example, a ship is temperamental and difficult to maneuver. Just like a female *Hides from flaming*

My thoughts: If the Big Bang was the beginnning of time (time was forged by the big bang), and gravity is curvature of time, then there would be no force holding the big bang singularity together.

Tbh i dont think time travel in any direction will ever be achieved. There are way too many paradoxes involved and it would take so much energy to get upto speed that we simply could not do it in real life. I dont think we can say time-travel will take place until we learn more about the nature of time and the universe.
