Time Travel

I don't think this will ever be a possibility.

Depends... in 60 seconds time I'll have traveled a minute into the future.

 

Also, remember that time is impacted by things like gravity... so technically if you were to be able to manipulate the gravity around you it might be possible to alter the speed at which time affects you.

 

Not exactly as fancy as getting into a TARDIS and zipping through space and time, but I guess theoretically you could build a machine that will allow you to travel many years into the future while only experiencing a few hours of time while inside that machine.

 

You're fucked if you want to travel back in time, of course, but it's a start.

[Big Man]

Time travel is perfectly possible.

 

It just depends on how you define time and travel, and more importantly what it is that you want to travel time.

[dervish]

You can time travel relative to other stuff quite easily just go quicker than it. Like separating from a friend going on a longer detour (i.e. them having to walk more slowly) then meeting up again technically their time went quicker, hence they are "older" relative to you than when you both started.

 

Better (and more classic example) two mirrors on a train with light bouncing between them. On the train the light is are going the speed of light (totes obvs... anyways constant) up and down between the mirrors but relative to you they are going faster (train is moving too, so up down and also along = faster than speed of light, but only relative to you). So really to you their time is going more quickly, and to the people on the train your time is going more slowly.

 

But going back in time and all that? No way whats so ever no how... probably.

[Big Man]

This goes into the realms of our newest "science", a field which may be inhabited by our nuttiest professors.

 

It is good to push the boundaries. It is essential to see how far we can go, simply to see how far there is to go.

 

However, humanity has limits, and intellectual capacity is also subject to finite capability. This may be contested by the genius (very rare skill or ability) new "scientist" but there must be a very real possibility that some of the quantum physicist theories are wank, the yin to the yang, the shite to the rainbow.

String theory and the fourth dimension exists only in the imagination of man at present.

 

My own instinct has yet to be pricked by CERN and Hawkings and all the rest of them. It might even be that political correctness and the need not to frown at the disabled has given Stephen Hawkings in particular a bigger voice than he otherwise deserves.

 

Until real science produces real evidence or even simple and credible theories of intellectual substance, the question hangs in the balance.

 

Time travel possibility may well be a subject that is one step too far for man at present, a symptom of the intellectual arrogance of (some) science.

 

Nice comments.

 

But time is the 4th dimension though - nae? Do you mean the 11th dimension?

[ChutneyLove]

If time travel became possible I would go back in time to the 50s and attempt to find out if the rumours of Marilyn Munro having a stinky fanny were true.

[paddy]

just need one of these babies....

 

[Bluto10]

dont you need one point twenty one jiggawatts?

or a bolt of lightning?

I'll answer this last week as I'm busy at the moment.

[Pash]

You need to hit 88mph in a 1L Nova saloon.

 

Impossible.

i always dreamt of owning a nova sr as a teenager

I lived your dream.

im jealous.

[Dynamo]

I've travelled back in time, what do you want to know?

 

 

 

 

 

Gamrie is a strange place...

You don't need to be a time traveller to know that.

 

In fact just by entering Gamrie you go back 30 years.

I saw it, I just never realised I saw it.

 

Got a BJ from some Gamrie chick many moons ago at Cornhill Marquee. She'd had a fall out with her lad and I took full advantage.

A psychiatric hospital held a marguee?

 

And you got a BJ from a patient?

 

You sick f**k.

 

When's the next one?

Cant remember the exact figures but roughly...

 

If a space ship was built that could travel the speed of light and the astronauts went to our closest star and back in it they would be travelling for 44 years. On earth around 10000 years would've passed.

the common example talks of the twin brothers who are the different ages.

 

physics is fun, eh.

No time travel required for that.

A guy from Portsoy who works for Swaco in Baku is a day older than his twin brother. He was born just before midnight, his brother just after.

 

So for a day a year he is a twin that is a year older than his brother.

 

Bizarre.

[tommo1903]

Portsoy increasingly sounds like a circus, full of interesting people with amazing background stories.

 

It isn't.

Wait until 3 weeks time and see what it's like.

 

Or hop aboard a time machine and have a look in three weeks time today if you can get a shot of one.

[Ke1t]

...or, you could go back a hundred years by visiting any area in the American South which is situated 10 miles or more from a major interstate freeway.

What is happening in 3 weeks?

 

Let me guess, some bakery training?

[The Boofon]

No.

[tommo1903]

No.

 

I will be up that area in 3 weeks actually, with work as well.

 

I doubt you will have known that.

[dunc_afc]

Disappointingly if you take relativity to be correct time travel is impossible cause you would need to travel faster than light and to do that you would gain an infinite amount of mass which would require an infinite amount of energy. Something our universe doesnt have.

I saw you.

 

You've put on a bit of weight. That girl who was standing alongside you looked nice.

[tainboy]

Time is constant It can never run faster or slower for an individual.

 

Speed of light and time are not linked. If you go faster than the speed of light you are not going forward in time but merely going faster than can be seen.
