Time Travel and the bucket effect.

[Guest md101]

i would think it would be impossible to travel through time into the future. the futture has no happend so there is in essence no place you could go?

What a great racket that would be! Take stuff back in time, sell it, and get the heck out of there before it disappears and people come looking for you

It's easy, and we've already done it (albeit by a minuscule period of time).

Berlingoff Rasmussen ah0y!

 

(How come I remember his name but not the episode?)

Yes, the bucket theory makes perfect sense. I`ve never heard it before and find it very interesting. Have you read `A Brief History Of Time`? in it Prof. Hawking discusses the problems of time-travel. His theories completely support what you`ve said

Once again, you'll only get infinite mass IF AND ONLY IF THE MACHINE GOES BACK IN TIME AN INFINITE NUMBER OF TIMES.

 

Which it doesn't. It goes back once, and there happens to be two when there was one, temporarily.

 

 

Umbabula speaks: When you create a loop in time it inherently become infinate

[Sayonara]

Depends which model you subscribe to.

 

Best not to contradict MrL with only Hawking's worst work to back you up, you'll be sore for weeks

yes it does, but non interfering and non cumulative either

else it would have been that way the 1`st time round

it will ALWAYS be out of phase by however long you traveled back by. and even if you TRIED to get get back to intercept your original "landing" you`de still be out of phase by the time taken to make that jump

and even if you COULD time it to an INFINATE`th farction of a pico second and BE in phase( you couldn`t) since two objects cannot be in the same plase at the same TIME, you`de be double dense mush! do this an infinate amount of times and you`ll reach critical mass and turn back into energy, and that would bring us right back to the E=MC^2 equasion and so by default the bucket effect is at best an interesting "story" but implausible
