Question by : I would like to get people’s ideas on time travel?
I have along history in this field and would like to get other people’s ideas about the possiblity of time travel. time travel is very possible and in order to do it. all you need to do is control gravity. easy right. gravity is just the base to work with. in order to do it take alot more effort.

Well, I wouldn’t really call it time travel but anyway, imagine you get into a spacecraft that is capable of traveling in the speed of light. Imagine you fly away from Earth at the speed of light for lets say 1 year. After 1 year, when you come back to Earth, there would be thousands or maybe millions of years past since the time you left (for light speed calculator see The science channel website). It means that if you traveling the speed of light will make your time go extremely slow compared to the normal time (speed).

So when you return to Earth thousands or millions of years to the future, you are stock. If you don’t like that, you can’t go to the past. I mean the past is gone, there is noway to go back.

The idea I told you is not a way to go to the future, it’s just making your time go extremely slow compared to that on Earth’s normal speed and time. I wouldn’t called it ‘going to the future’.

Another way to ‘go to the future’ is as if you would manage to stay in a close and stable orbit around a black hole. It would also make your time go slower than the normal time on Earth.

What do you think? Answer below!

    Time travel is possible but you can only travel back as far as when the time machine was first turned on. If we wanted to travel back 1000′s of years we’d have to find an alien race that turned on a machine along time ago. So going back in time as of right now is only possible if we can prove aliens exist.

    +I don’t know where you got this theory that controlling gravity was the basis for time travel. It sounds far-fetched in the absence of scientific data being presented.

  3. quizzard123 says:

    Since gravity isn’t directly related to time, I’d be curious as to how controlling gravity will allow you to control time?

    The actual process will involve the manipulation of very intense magnetic field in a torus of an special dilithium-strontium alloy, but if I tell you how it will work, I will have to have killed you….

    Well – We can travel forward in time easily enough. We can employ relativistic effects (in theory) to slow our local time down and project ourselves far into the distant future. Traveling back in time/space may be theoretically achieved through wormholes, if they are to be found, harnessed and successfully traversed.

    I believe that Michio Kaku has proposed a hypothetical time machine that would utilize the ‘event horizon’ of a black hole to allow one to travel back to that temporal reference point.

    time is the 4th deminsion-so lets explore what time really is. draw a big circle n label that eternity. now draw a little rectangle in the middle of it.ok now label the left side of the rectangle beginning of time n the right side end of time. time has a begining and an ending n everything else is eternity. so in order to escape and effect time travel youd have to ecape out of the rectangle in order to go any particular time. so when man finds that solution then it will probably be too late by then

    Travel to the future–freeze yourself, defrost and wake up later. Or just wait a long time, as everyone is traveling one second per second into it.
    Travel to the past–not possible.
    Gravity has nothing to do with it unless you are talking about extreme fields and accelerations, space-time distortions, and Lorenz and Hawking and black holes.

    I already told you my idea about this next week.

    I wonder by “along history” you mean that you have considered the possibility of time travel for some length of time.

    “Time travel” happens all the time. It’s usually just not noticeable.

    For example, if you fly in an airplane for any length of time, you have been traveling at a tiny fraction of the speed of light with respect to your colleagues on Earth. When you arrive, you are tiny fractions of a second “younger” because time passed more slowly for you than for them.

    This effect is actually measurable in GPS satellites which use very precise atomic clocks. They are also up in orbit traveling much faster than a plane.

    Finally, gravity is known to affect time. As a matter of fact, the speed of the orbit of Mercury is slightly off if you predict it with Newtonian physics. This is corrected if you include the affects of special relativity which account for the affect of gravity on space-time.

  9. Goat Herder says:

    Gravitational time dilation only slows time, it can’t reverse it or accelerate it. As you approach an object’s Schwarzschild Radius, your proper time will slow to zero. Of course to you, time always seems to pass at a constant rate. Inside the Schwarzschild Radius (aka event horizon), all world-lines point to the center of the gravitational source, which means time still cannot pass for you, but it’s not going backward. Once you hit the event horizon, the rest of the journey would seem instant to you, if you could live through it of course.

    Several methods for time travel have been proposed but none of them can work without violating almost every physical principle known to man. Aside from this, we end up with an endless number of paradoxes.

    “along history” what is your idea?!!!!!
    along the history and you only get a way of “control gravity”!!!!!
    explain your idea so we can give you “right idea” or accept your idea as right one”
