Time Travel Sci-Fi or fact ?

[petebro]

We consider much of what science has to offer and time travel is the

proverbal boomerang that keeps coming back , the time machine may well

have been a great work of fiction , that has no doubt inspired a generation of

scientists to postulate over the possibility of eventually travelling through time. This new dimension concept or fifth dimension and multiple dimensions is

a new born brainchild and a ever increasing subject of obvious popularity.

We can brush the ethics aside because we know that human nature dictates

otherwise , not entering into the ethical debate or the obvious dangers and

chaos that would eventually ensue. Is time travel possible ? can we explore the infinitys , a eternal void of time , the concept of time has got to be first

fully understood if we consider ourselves to be travelling in time , which direction are we indeed travelling , is time a measured quantity or a eternal

source , if we consider time that has passed the answer may seem obvious.

what if ? what if ? and the timeclock we would choose would be on the atomic scale . say we had a atomic clock that runs backward we could then

say that time is a measured quantity , we may well then introduce big bang and say we are in a time loop , here we would indeed except quantity .

But the important thing to also consider if we except that time travel is indeed possible are we approaching the possibilty that we have already

discovered time travel and are begining to travel back to the future , the film itself presents obvious difficulties and moreover how we could indeed change the future if we except that we are travelling into the past . Without the complicated science have we started to visit ourselves from the past ?

and what we may consider aliens is indeed us visiting us . How would that

effect now and the past and future ? could we indeed shape are future for

the better if we just except that the future is indeed in front of us , the other obvious thing to consider is criminals if it were to fall into the wrong hands . A sort of time bandits theme emerges that the may well be a sort

of dirty tricks campaign at some point in time that could effect the present

and reshape the past . If we are moving towards a means of time travel it

may indeed be irrelavent to think that the future can be reshaped without us

knowing it depends on how we would see altering things , the debate rages on ethics maybe brushed aside and the future as we except maybe altered for

the better without us knowing , thisin itself creates a unknown quantity of are

we being controlled by aliens and are we in fact the descendants . That remains to be seen. Time travel Sci-Fi or fact ? Time loop ? Fifth dimension?

Aliens ? Time lords ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Entropy. There is a certain arrow of time, from greater systemic order to greater systemic disorder. Also, relativity. Time is relative, yet your post implies that you understand time to be absolute, or the same for all observers, which it is not. Just some thoughts for you to chew.

 

We already travel through time at the rate of one second per one second.

Odds are, if you were traveling backward in time, you would be antimatter.

Sadly, no matter what the theorists say and predicit about multi dimensions, time being an arrow, circle , pentagon or some such shape, Einsteins clocks and relativity etc - we will never be able to travel back or forward in time in the way that sci fi - star trek - dr who et al envision. The past is the past - the dead are dead, you will not be able to go back to the court of Queen Elizabeth 1 - whch is ashame as I understand the entertainment was quite good.

I am sure I have discussed time travel plenty of times before! Try a search.
