We can only move back in time not in future.
Is that ?
Is that ?
Well I'd be concerned if you weren't travelling forward in time, all the time. (Or at least that's my experience of the phenomena, I don't need to be a scientist to experience that )...travel into the future might be possible, we are doing it right now...in a way...
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the GalaxyTime is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
Or it will be definitely proved impossible.Eventually someday all the problems associated with time-travel will have been solved or ways around will have been found/made.
And thus, when the first working time machine gets invented, time travellers from the far future will immediately step out of it, bringing with them their highly advanced wristband versions (or whatever it’ll be) and within a few hours or so those will be everywhere. People will be startled at first but will quickly get used to the new reality. (Just as people once did with previous inventions such as trains, photography, planes, telephones, radio, internet, etc etc.)
I call it T-Day.
I like to compare future time and past time. Let’s suppose the first working time-machine gets invented in 500 years, the early 26th century.Or it will be definitely proved impossible.
I would call it noT-Day
It's 'sorta' because the big bang theory is a model built out of Einstein's theory of General Relativity, which uses somerhing that we call space-time as a geometric building block.Walking backwards into the future……hmm, I like that
I once read someone joked (it might have been Asimov) that time was nature’s way of preventing everything from happening at once.
Here’s where I get confused. Again, not sure, but it might have been Hawking who said that there was no time before the big bang. I just don’t get it. If there was no time and yet there was a big bang then surely (in my tiny mind) there had to be a ‘before’ - even if the before simply existed to allow the necessary energies to coalesce in a manner that facilitated the big bang.
Will I always be such a dunderhead? Only time can tell
Time runs at different speeds in different places (and apparently in a black hole stops, or slows down to such an extent as to make no difference).
In such an eventuality you should be able to time travel forward, as you pop off to the black hole for a couple of hundred years, then (if possible) return to your starting point to find that you are 2 hundred years in the future.
Whether time can run forward or backward is immaterial, as I don't think that something that has happened can 'un-happen'. An icecube can melt, and can then be refrozen; but it can't not have melted in the first place. Otherwise we would have situations where our brains would remember something that has happened when it hadn't - and that would really mess things up!
As (I think) I've mentioned before, time travel into the past must be impossible, because if it wasn't then someone from the future would at some point have returned.
If you travel to the past , you end up creating an alternate branch in the timeline and a new universe. But in our timeline , we wouldn't be aware of this but , the versions of us in the alternate timeline would be This is turn would probably create a whole host of time paradoxes and headaches fo the people in the other timeline , but we wouldn't be effected here.
As I said, once the first time machine gets invented, from then on and forever after, time travel will be as ordinary and common as train travel currently is, with the temporal end-of-the-line being that first moment when the first machine gets switched on.
Currently we can’t go into the past, but after that moment, future people will be able to, but only as far back as that moment.
Yes, I suppose this is possible. Have transporter 'pads' that can move you from one to another in both space and time. But there has to have been a 'pad' made at the other side to be able to make the journey.
It's entirely possible that in the near future with more and more powerful computers that even if we can't be transported back in 'real life' it can be done virtually. There's an episode of Black Mirror which deals with an eternal virtual existence.
Have you ever read the Veils of Azlaroc by Fred Saberhagen ? Its not specially a time time travel story but is has to do with time . Azlaroc orbits an usual star which ever year, throws of a quantum time veil. if you happen to be on the surface of the planet when Veil Fall happens, you can never leave because you become trapped in pocket if time with everyone that happened to be on the planet with you, you can interact completely who them but with people stuck in earlier time pockets its become harder to hard to interact with them . You can talk to them and to large degree interact with them but physically can't touch them at all because there are in early time pocket , they also appear to be a bit faded and you appear so to them. The earlier the time pocket the move progressive the fading becomes and that work both ways.
