The OBVIOUS thing people don't understand about time travel ( and its impossibility ) | |

We can call this device a time machine. The purpose of the device would be time dilation. the device itself would move along time normally while it's contents would move along time in a much slower rate. The time machine anchors you to earth. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1600771 The solar system is in constant motion AROUND the center of our galaxy. Even if you could magically go back in time 10 years, you would NOT remain on the surface of the earth to "meet yourself", ( or prevent a tragedy ), because our solar system was in a different PLACE 10 years ago. You would materialize in empty space, and die immediately. Your time concept has only two state, which are predent and moving forward. Anyway, there are no do over...know what I mean. |

For example Pysical Coordinates (Based upon the center of the universe. (As not only does our solar system travel, but our galaxy also drifts.) Coordinate 1 = X Coordinate 2 = Y Coordinate 3 = Z This now has the three dimension relative to the universal center. Next lets look at dimensional coordinates. This is where it gets complex. Assuming time isn't linear, and each action or event causes a new possible timeline the combinations are infinite. Additionally, you would have to factor in recursion because IF time travel is possible, then the actions of time travelers would cause the dimensional possibilities to jump exponentially. Unless a time traveler were to remove those possibilities by stopping certain possibilities from occurring. Additionally the events within these dimensions could seriously shift the physical coordinates as well if meddling occurred, or dramatic changes in the drift occurred. I think of it as a giant search algorithm reaching out into infinity as each action progresses starting from the first. The probabilities are impossible to gauge, and I think that if it were possible time travel, it would always be a one way trip because the reality you left from would be an impossibility to differentiate from the countless other possibilities that followed. Particularly while others including yourself were moving the scale so dramatically. "Where ever you go, there you are." That's my little bit of stream of consciousness for you. :) |

Free speech is never free. Well I know it wasn't you who held me down Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains And we never even know we have the key - Eagles |

Think of it this way: You're in your living room playing XBOX video game (let's say Call Of Duty). You're then scrolling through the different campaigns you want to play at that given place and time that you're in living room. You click the correct screen for specific campaign -- then -- poof --- you're there. The fabric of reality is very much the same. It is a hologram. The real "YOU" exists outside of the "you" sitting there and typing this silly post. The real "YOU" is "outside" looking upon this in much the same way "you are there with the video game controller looking at and directing your 'character' in the game. Traveling through time is nothing but selecting that specific "campaign" (experience) in the video game. Roger? In addition --- this universe is one of infinite. Think of blowing bubbles. A bunch begin to float in the air around you correct? Think of the universe we exist in as existing within ONE of those bubbles. Now, think of a universe within EACH of those bubbles. Traveling to and fro is as easy as the "video game" analogy mentioned above. It's simply a matter of the physics / equations and "evolutionary soul aspects" which need to be unfolded before us. However --- that's the concept my friend. The Holographic Universe. |

Although going back 2.5 years would be more troublesome. But hey, if you have the technology to travel through time then I would find it highly unlikely you wouldn't have the technology available to either teleport to the earth at that time or teleport a spaceship with you to travel to earth. |

However --- that's the concept my friend. The Holographic Universe. But in order to play the game, you will first need hardware to run it, and an operating system, and the game itself will need to be coded, and that includes so many other things. What if the game itself is coded in such a manner that the campaign is automatically selected, and no software exists to do the campaign selection. That would then require you to hack the game. What kind of system administrator is working the game right now? That admin might not take kindly to you hacking the code, and may need to quarantine, or erase you as a virus... OR what if the game itself is designed to teach people to hack, and be able to select your own campaign is something you're allowed to do after beating chapter 1... Sorry, I love analogies. ;P |

The "game" is designed to evolve / teach / infuse / grow the "characters". Simply put -- it was all about LOVE and the "becoming" of it. Because one day (so to speak) --- the REAL DEAL exists -- outside of this "hologram" --- for US to share in. For now --- we grow / learn and evolve -- within the "game". |

The "wake" generated by the infinite velocity and angular diversity of the Singularity is responsible for the existence of the infinite expanse. Space is time that is in the state of static. Time is space that is in the state of kinetic. We exist in the bandwidth somewhere of while infinite expanse (static space) is imploding down and inward from everywhere towards everywhere towards the Singularity that is pure time (all the past) and no space demonstrated as pure kinetics. |
