    i gott a feeling that some goverment already have that time machine
    and they r communicating with the future
    and knowing the future thay can control the present
    HA we might actually have a movie in cinema based on this

    id like to see the cure for cancer sent back along this time machine

    This is interesting. It would be good to be able to visit the past then I could get good grades on my history class.

    You can't travel into the past past. Only the time when this machine was invented-noclue

    Now to steal this machine and hid it for 50 years then send future money back to the present-lol -lol -lol
     
  6. i know i shouldnt be questioning an expert, but theres something i dont understand...

    according to einstein, if you were to travel at the speed of light, time would slow down in your environment, not the outside... now its the same principal with this machine... if you were to throw a particle into that machine, and have it travel faster than the speed of light due to the funnel effect, the particle's time environment should slow down... doesnt that mean that the particle would be preserved until the future? so its more of sending things to the future, not back to the past...

    i would understand if it was sent to the future, but not to the past.....

    So does this mean everything is predestined and everything follows a track?
     
  8. ^ uhhh im sorry, what? lol

    that might be better suited in the philosophy section lol

    No, it just means that time in certain aspects of our life will no longer be a factor because there will be no need for waiting. Now what I mean by this is if a person wants to travel 1,000,000 years into the future all it'll take is a simple press of a button, so to speak. In effect, eliminating time.

    Why wouldn't everything be predestined? Because theoretically speaking, people from the future will be able to send information back allowing us to change the future. Imagine a ripple affect through time.

    Of course, if greedy people get ahold of this technology, major future events can very well be predetermined or predestined. In which case, we'd just be cattle going along for the ride.

    If that particle slowed down, we would pass it in regards to time. So how would the particle, when slowed, travel into the future before us? It would stand still and in affect, enable the past to catch up to it. I think...
     
  15. oh youre looking at it from the outside perspective...

    i was looking in the perspective of the particle... if youre the particle, and you slowed down, everything outside would seem to go faster, which means that once you get out of that state, the outside world would have advanced in time.

    Everything should seem alot slower or still, even, from the inside looking out and everything outside should still be passing at the same rate since the device shouldn't effect the outside.
     
  17. ohhhhh i see what you mean... because youre going light speed, everything else should seem slower outside......

    but ive read somewhere by einstein that you dont go still, you just slow down.. not to the point of stillness...

    and because you go slower, you age slower than another might if he was outside... that was einstein's example i believe...

    you're right. I posted it.


    Maybe you didn't realize I posted before him... Ironic as this thread is about time. :p

    Yes. Take for example, a high speed camera -- it's capturing images so fast that things seem slower through it's eyes, if you will. But we all know that in reality, the object that was captured was moving at normal speeds.

    I was mistaken when I said that the particle slows down. I should have thought it through before hand.

    This machine manipulates time. So by saying still I don't mean the particle stays still. The particle stays at the speed of light and doesn't slow down because theoretically speaking, this method of time travel can only be achieved through light speed. So physically slowing down isn't an option. I should have referred to time when I said slow down or still. In order to travel backwards in time, the effects of time around the particle must stop before it can be reversed.

    I don't think that the manipulation of time can cause us to age slower. It would have to be the result of genetic manipulation or engineering, rather.

    We may think we're aging slower while in the state of stillness where time doesn't seem to apply to us while it seemingly applies to everyone else on the other side, but our body has it's own internal clock and should age naturally.
     
  20. lol lets not turn this into another religion-like debate -lol

    but like religion these things are impossible to know, as both are simply theories..
