Time travel

I've heard some theorize that you can travel to the past but not the future, or the future but not the past, but isn't that all relative to where you are (or should I say WHEN you are)?  Isn't the future merly the past of the farther future?

yes i suppose but if you really want to travel in big lumps of time it is impossiblt to travel into the future becauyse it is probable that everything is happening here in another dimension with us! we are probably different charcters though.

in this dimension etc... past is the only way we can travel in time but thenagain that is only if time is the 4th dimension which is not known yet!

no because when you came back to the future it would be much past the time u had left behind!

what do you mean by paradoxes!!! sorry i do not understand

I find Charlie's argument as "proof that time travel is pure fantasy" just as comical as Ricardo's statement about what "makes time travel possible at all."  Really? ...


 Okay the word proof might not be appropriate, but I believe time travel is not possible (same as saying it's fantasy); that should not be comical.  I'm not a theoretical physicist, but that's my opinion as ordinary person.  I respect the views of those who really believe that time travel is very possible (the technology is just not yet around).

On another point, someone asked if time is the 4th dimension--yes, time is the 4th dimension.  Our minds can visualized 3 dimensions, but not 4--so don't try to imagine that.  Serious mathematicians even see things in several dimensions--making such computations incomprehensible to us.  They run out of Greek symbols.  We should ask the 5th Dimension...

In anything, there are barriers, things we can't fathom, things mysterious.  Maybe someone from the far future might visit us and explain these things...  Wink

yes true but i know this sounds pathetic..

there a film called 'click' which a comedy film about a special remote which can fastforward time or go into the past etc...

even though it is very crude and funny it at first at the beginning of the movei gives a in-depth view of what this actually means. The scientist in the story explains how things work etc.. and it sounds true enough to me!

what would 4 dimensions be like?

i an talking about a different film

it is called 'CLICK'! it is a comedy but it explains well at beginning!

I'm guessing, it is Adam Sandler's movie, right?  I want that remote!  Perhaps Nostradamus tapped into this 4th dimension and saw the future.  Some people can see the future, and that's enough...

Adam Sandler so did not use his remote correctly.  If I had one of those things, I would hit the pause button, get all my work done (including the tree house in the back yard that he never got to) and then un-pause time and spend the rest of the day with my family.  There is just never enuf hours in the day to do everything.  Having a remote to stop time would solve that problem.  Everything would appear to be done in an instant.  Of course that wouldn't make as good of a movie.  But I still want one of those things for Christmas.  :)

 

Yes, it was the word "proof" that I was laughing at, and that was in no way intended to be a derogatory laugh.  If it cames across as offensive, I apologize.

 

There are obviously two main lines of thinking when it comes to time travel theory:  A) time is already written (including your time travel) so nothing can be changed.  In fact, current events could be based on things that you have yet to do in the past.  (Examples:  Bill & Ted, The 1st Terminator movie, Somewhere in Time (with Christopher Reeve & Jane Seymore)) 

 

And B) that time is flexible and history can be re-shaped within the confines of whatever laws of nature exisit that we have yet to discover.  (Examples: Back to the Future, the 2nd & 3rd Terminator movies,  Frequency (with Dennis Quaid))

yes the film with Adam Sandler is the one i am talkin about

at the beginning in the warehouse when he gets the remote for the first time the guy gives an explanation which ain't bad

No offense taken Billium (that's why I explained the inappropriateness of the term); your views are well-taken.  English is my second language, and sometimes I don't use words in their strict meanings...   Cool
Avatar of fredster50
yes but Billium is American and sometimes proper English and thre American version can get mixed up due to different sayings like mail and post etc... but there loads more!

these theories are good to listen too but what i think it is possible to travel back in time but we have not fpound the right technology yet

i mean time is pretty much proved to be the 4ht dimension so it is possible surely??

That is a very interesting article in your blog akiko.  I can now plainly see time travel possible 'cause I never thought of it like that.  However this doesn't answer most peoples questions of time travel into the PAST!  Unless going faster than the speed of light takes you back, but I don't think it's been proven yet that we can accellerate particles faster than the speed of light?

Hi Zugs, west virginia the inbreeding capitol of the usa, risky statement there mate, lol. It's not just paradoxies in the past that are a concern but paradoxies by travelling into the future as well!

Utter hogwash. There were many villians in history folks, not only Hitler. What about Stalin, Mao , G Yagoda?  The commie killers of the 20th century made hitler and his nazis look like a bunch of girl scouts and the Gulags were even worse than the nazi camps. Strange though that they dont receive at least equal condemnation isn't it?

Hi Reb, I guess we can only blame the historians for this!

I would go back to see that famous game of Marshall's where he plays Qg3 and see if the spectators really showered the board with gold coins.
