you all pre-suppose that time is an independently existing thing that is tangible/can be manipulated; no one ever stops to consider that the concept of time is just a repercussion of perception of general change recorded in memory in a linear fashion. The best you could do is slow the effects of time by traveling at consistently higher speeds but even then you would have to accelerate beyond light. I think I lost myself while i was writing that.

The idea of "time" is man-made. To nature, time is a constant; there is no past, only present. Therefore it isn't possible to travel back or forward in time.

For quite some time, Ronald Mallett has been working on plans for a time machine. This machine uses a ring laser and the theory of relativity. Mallett first argued that the ring laser would produce a limited amount of frame-dragging which might be measured experimentally, saying:

In Einstein's general theory of relativity, both matter and energy can create a gravitational field. This means that the energy of a light beam can produce a gravitational field. My current research considers both the weak and strong gravitational fields produced by a single continuously circulating unidirectional beam of light. In the weak gravitational field of a unidirectional ring laser, it is predicted that a spinning neutral particle, when placed in the ring, is dragged around by the resulting gravitational field.

Don't feel like reading...


Kids claiming they can be God? or is it Kids claiming they know how to bend space and time around them?


Either way, it's a fail.

If one was able to fly faster than the earth's rotational speed, in the same direction, eventually one would go to the future?

And to go back in time, one would fly in the opposite direction?


The earths rotational direction/speed or anything
has nothing to do with it

uhm
but yeah ok

There would be no way to actuly go back
and the going to future isnt actuly like people think it is
Its slowing down your frame of time with high speeds ( i think)

Expand your mind...No ones claiming to be god, Simply taking it as far as your god alows us to

That's not how it would happen, but..

If the haderon collider proves there are extra dimensions . that could prove time travel possible, by taking a short cut jumping to the 4th dimension ( which could be described as " Duration " )

This mixed with space "foam" is a possability

asuming they can build a laser big enough, in space ofc
