Wso Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I believe we would reach the level of gods at that point. There are two points where humans would become equivalent to gods. The first one is being able to change the universe any way we want, the second is knowing everything about it. Which one did you mean?
Marshalscienceguy Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) There are two points where humans would become equivalent to gods. The first one is being able to change the universe any way we want, the second is knowing everything about it. Which one did you mean? We can create life but are still limited by the laws of reality. A god creates reality and can control and change the laws to their will. If we did truly figure out a way to change the laws of nature we would be gods and we will at this point have reached the most powerful point. Edited January 10, 2014 by Marshalscienceguy
Phi for All Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I don't think this talk of gods is appropriate for a thread on the laws of physics and reality.
Wso Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 I don't think this talk of gods is appropriate for a thread on the laws of physics and reality. True, but to be fair we are not discussing the existence of god or gods, just the point of which humans would have absolute power. It is relivant to the discussion so long as it stays on the topic of being able to change physics. We are just using the power of the gods to describe this absolute power, like a metaphor.
Rajnish Kaushik Posted January 11, 2014 Author Posted January 11, 2014 can someone please give my conclusion -1
Delta1212 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 can someone please give my conclusion Humans can't change the laws of physics. We can modify our descriptions of laws, but we cannot do so arbitrarily: only as the evidence directs us. Right now, there either exists a way for time travel to take place or there does not. If there is, we have yet to discover it. If there is not, there is nothing we can do to make time travel possible. So to answer your question: We may, in the future, find a way to travel through time and modify our knowledge of natural laws to reflect this. If in fact it is impossible, however, there is no way we can make it possible and attempting to change our descriptions of the laws of nature to make it possible will merely cause those descriptions to be wrong; it will not allow us to travel through time. 1
