are you sure?

And have you guys seen the movie "Watch Stoppers" ? In the movie, the guy was in the room that accellerated the molecules in your body and then he used his watch that makes time kinda stop, and his molecules were moving so fast that he walked through the solid metal door.

Idk

My theory on forward movement in time is that its already happening, but if we want to go any faster we have to travel at a negative speed which is impossible until proven possible. Time and space are like partners, the faster you travel the slower time moves and the slower you travel the faster time moves. this was proven by scientist by taking two precisely synchronized watches and putting one in a fast moving aircraft, leaving the other one on the ground. The clock that was on the aircraft was 1 billionth of a second behind after a while of fast movement. My personal opinion is time travel cannot be disproved, it can only be proven, the same way creationism or evolution can't be disproved or proven (they could be proven by utilizing time travel to look into the past but that hasn't been created yet).
Another thing about time travel is if sometime in the future they do create it and are able to travel in the past why haven't we seen any time travelers?

If there was no sun or moon relative to earth, what would we have? Time is just a name we gave to the orbit our planet makes around the sun. And we happen to base hours, minutes, weeks, whatever, on that orbit.

There will never be such a thing as time travel. How do I know? Because people havn't met any time travelers yet. Think about it. If people could time travel we would have met them by now.

Vindicator wrote:So many people saying it is not possible.

Well, the answer thus far is YES, forward only (as we have figured out) Traveling into the past is not possible with the current knowledge of physcis. But who knows, some day.

Anyways, most people seem to be talking about worm holes and moving through the fabric of space, when actually it is much simpler. The universe is composed of many dimensions, and here we are concerned with 4 of them. You have your standard X,Y,Z axis, of which most lifeforms can comprehend from the start of their existance. Now, the fourth dimension to deal with is time. Yes, time is a dimension of space. Assuming most poeople have or are undergoing a high school education, I will direct you to a very basic concept of components. If you move at 5mph north east, then it makes sense that you move north and east at the same time. You move X mph east and Y mph North, depending on the degree you move "north of east" or "east of north". In any case, both your north and east component, when put into a triangle, will have a resultant of 5mph. hence your movement of 5mph north east.

The same concept is applied to time and the X Y Z directions. If you move so great in these 3 dimensional direction, time will virtually be at a stand still.

If you move at 5mph due east, you have no movement north, right? The same thing applies to time. light speed is the maximum possible speed obtainable by ANYTHING in the universe. Nothing can exceed the speed of light, not even the force of gravity, as assumed by some physicists earlier.

moving at such a high speed, the world will seem to be at a standstill based on perspective, even though you are moving at an unfathomable rate, to yourself you are perfectly normal, and the world seems to be moving slowly.

So, through the movement equal or near the speed of light, you are able to preserve your current state because you will not experience any passing of time. When you stop moving at such a high speed, you will be in the "future" so to speak.

Of course, the problems comes with the fact that the faster you move, the more energy is required to speed you up. So great infact that as you come within reach of light speed, the force needed is near infinite. It is technically impossible to achieve light speed, but the closer you approach it, the less time you experience, and the more you "travel into the future".

This has been tested and proven in laboratories where they accelerated molecules and they decayed much slower than normal.

Before someone says anything about it, no you will not experience less time if you constantly move all your life, because any conventional means of moving on earth is so small, it is considered to a velocity of zero compared with the universe, and therefore, even flying in a jet around the world, your speed will not change or come any closer to that of light. You will in fact move just as fast as you are now, sitting in our chair.

Another thing to be mentioned, is to say that the tested molecule above could read 5 books before it decayed. After being accelerated, it will live much longer in the concept of time, but when it decays, it will still only read 5 books.

There will never be such a thing as time travel. How do I know? Because people havn't met any time travelers yet. Think about it. If people could time travel we would have met them by now.

Thats because it is impossible to re-experience things that have already happened. You can only "freeze" yourself in time so that you experience the future in your current form, not the past.
