| mkscrewup Because humans are like that User ID: 29724868 12/15/2012 09:04 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't think we have time travel, or at least I've seen no evidence of it. I've seen evidence that we have some pretty intense tech that's not available at Walmart. Through personal experience and the experience of others I've found that regression through hypnosis can give someone absolute conviction that they were in a certain year even though they were right in the here and now....I believe that more than time travel.

The GR spacetime found by Godel has what are now called "closed timelike curves" (CTCs). A CTC is a worldline that a particle or a person can follow which ends at the same spacetime point (the same position and time) as it started. A solution to GR which contains CTCs cannot have a spacelike embedding - space must have "holes" (as in donut holes, not holes punched in a sheet of paper). A would-be time traveller must go around or through the holes in a clever way. [link to math.ucr.edu] |

Search Bernard Mendez and Andrew Basiago for threads here on GLP. The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. Winston Churchill |
