Time Travel

[UnderSoul]

Time travel is an interesting topic. With theories ranging from the wormhole theory to my bifurcation theory of paradoxes. What do you all think?

[Ghostlash]

I think it's fake to be honest..

Time travel- Interesting indeed. Going by my theory of time, however, 'time' travel is not real. And never will be. As I stated in Oversoul, there is not 'time,' that's just our perception, for those who are so un-knowing that they don't believe there is more than one reality. Instead, 'time' is actually strings of realities, different patterns going through, infinite possibilities. For each decision made, a new reality is made, each second, each trivial decision. To breathe, to buy something, or, in a more exaggerated example, to 'press the red button.' Therefore, since the theory of 'time' is incorrect, in my mind, 'time' travel can never exist. 'Reality' travel may come, at some point... unlikely, but possible. If we do invent it someday, it ought to be outlawed immediately and all ways to do it deleted, as if we can go to different realities, we will learn secrets and technology and weaponry, and it will make a huge rift, eventually ending in every reality's destruction and the end of the ultimate chain.

Ghostlash It's been done.

[Ghostlash]

Really?

[UnderSoul]

Yes, by the CIA. Project pegasus, they have photos of one of their living agents at the Emancipation Proclamation. It's been verified to have been from that time.

Wooah

UnderSoul: Don't get me started on conspiracies. I've got a book chock-full of them. In my head. Of course.

[UnderSoul]

I could go on about conspiracies too, I'm a relative of JFK after all, but that's fact.

[Riniti]

You could, however, this is not a conspiracy forum. :3 You could make one if you so wished. However, whether the picture is true or not does not matter. There are several cases of this; however, it is possible that the same appearance chromosomes were in each person. Unlikely, but possible. IF they did indeed find a way to reality travel, I shudder to think what they're doing as we speak. HOWEVER, I doubt that they did, no matter the proof given, until I go through it myself.

[UnderSoul]

I'm also somewhat sceptical, but when you've seen the government as much as I have, I can usually tell fact from fiction. The chromosomes idea very well may be true though.

[Riniti]

Yes, the chromosome thing is the only realistic idea; besides that fact old photos were blurry, and they might have looked alike, but not exactly.

Time Travel.
Stephan Hawking thinks it's impossible: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_protection_conjecture

Traveling back through time is impossible. The amount of paradoxes arising form the subject gives us this reason, most notably the Grandfather Paradox.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_Paradox

To briefly explain this, it gives a scenario that is unanswerable.
>Man creates time machine to kill his grandfather when he was born
>Man goes back through time to his grandfathers birth and kills him
>Because he killed his grandfather, he was never born
>He was never born, so he couldn't build the time machine
>No time machine means no time travel
>No time travel means no killing his grandfather
>Which means he never went back through time to kill his grandfather
>Which means he was born
>Which means he will grow up to build a time machine to kill his grandfather.
>Repeat

Time now is is one-directional; a non-changing piece of the Universe in a sequence. For this to be possible, time would need several strands, multiple dimensions, infinite sequences, and parallel universes, in which all haven't been discovered and are highly contradictory and debatable.

In theory, traveling backward is possible, through worm holes, however because of the existance of such paradoxes, makes it impossible. However,
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novikov_self-consistency_principle

Traveling forward in time, however, is possible.

The consequence of taking different paths through spacetime on the amount of time that passes has been observed and documented often. In one of the more famous experiments, completed in 1971, scientists J.C. Hafele and Richard E. Keating placed cesium beam clocks aboard a commercial airliner headed eastward around the world. The plane was flown around the world and then compared with a reference atomic time scale at rest. Upon completion of the trip, it was found that the clocks from the flight were about 59 nanoseconds behind the clock at rest, which is almost the exact value that relativity theory predicts. Confirmation also comes from the behavior of basic particles called muons. They have a short half-life—less than two microseconds. When moving at high speeds, muons survive much longer than this short half-life would lead us to expect. With higher speeds, the particles survive longer, because they have experienced less time.

Also gives an example when it comes to traveling at light-speed.

The grandfather paradox could be obsolete if the bifurcation theory is proven, as well as acceptance of the multiverse theory.
