1. Do a quick Google search on Gentill Abdulla and you'll quickly see that he is a "self-proclaimed genius"... There are no actual physicists that backs him up on his ideas.

Time travel you can believe in...

I proposed an experiment to a scientist currently using light twisted by laser beams to attempt to send a single electron back in time. This was the experiment and it can be observed.

Using a series or mirrors that redirect a beam of light to the next in a hexagon setup. A beam of light is then injected into the series of mirrors where it will travel around the series returning to the point of origin. The light that arrives at the present is actually from the past, yet arrives in the present.

He was trying to create a vortex or tunnel where he could shoot a single electron into it. I proposed using the mirror method to redirect light into a continual vortex to do the same. This could be done easily at home. Anything entering the vortex will be slightly held back in time as everything outside the vortex will continue into the future. The key is the speed at which matter moves through time.

It's a simple experiment and could be done using a timing device set in the center of the vortex. The curvature of bending light should create a minute gravitational distortion that could be measured.

I never heard back from the scientist. He never disputed my suggestion, which he would have immediately done so if it were thought to be absurd. However, Einstein proved that time slows when traveling past the curvature of space such as what happens with the space shuttle all the time. Light bends around this curvature (Earth). Therefore, bend the light and create an artificial curvature where time slows. I also believe this is what happens around a black hole.

For quite some time, Ronald Mallett has been working on plans for a time machine. This technology would be based upon a ring laser's properties within the context of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Mallett first argued that the ring laser would produce a limited amount of frame-dragging which might be measured experimentally, saying:[2]

"In Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, both matter and energy can create a gravitational field. This means that the energy of a light beam can produce a gravitational field. My current research considers both the weak and strong gravitational fields produced by a single continuously circulating unidirectional beam of light. In the weak gravitational field of a unidirectional ring laser, it is predicted that a spinning neutral particle, when placed in the ring, is dragged around by the resulting gravitational field."

In a later paper, he argued that at sufficient energies, the circulating laser might produce not just frame-dragging but also closed timelike curves (CTC), allowing time travel into the past:[3]

For the strong gravitational field of a circulating cylinder of light, I have found new exact solutions of the Einstein field equations for the exterior and interior gravitational fields of the light cylinder. The exterior gravitational field is shown to contain closed timelike lines.
The presence of closed timelike lines indicates the possibility of time travel into the past. This creates the foundation for a time machine based on a circulating cylinder of light.

Whats your evidence chief. . . You have a nasty habit of posting against whatever is said and you never offer any of your vast knowledge as to why.

Its posts like yours and attitudes like yours that make me hate debunkers. . . if your going to debunk at least do your damn job with some dignity and show cause for your statements. . .

Your profile picture is highly annoying. but I bet you know that already.

Whats my evidence?

Lack of time travelers.

Traveling through space is not time travel, its space travel. Bending light is not time travel. It's bending light.

Where is your evidence that it's possible? You have none. I suppose thats why you hate debunkers.
The best evidence I suppose is that time doesnt really exist. Therefore you cant navigate it.

The Gödel metric is an exact solution of the Einstein field equations in which the stress-energy tensor contains two terms, the first representing the matter density of a homogeneous distribution of swirling dust particles, and the second associated with a nonzero cosmological constant (see lambdavacuum solution). It is also known as the Gödel solution.

This solution has many strange properties, discussed below, in particular the existence of closed timelike curves which would allow for a form of time travel in the type of universe described by the solution. Its definition is somewhat artificial (the value of the cosmological constant must be carefully chosen to match the density of the dust grains), but this spacetime is regarded as an important pedagogical example.

The Tipler cylinder was discovered as a solution to the equations of general relativity by Willem Jacob van Stockum[1] in 1936 and Kornel Lanczos[2] in 1924, but not recognized as allowing closed timelike curves[3] until an analysis by Frank Tipler[4] in 1974. Tipler showed in his 1974 paper, "Rotating Cylinders and the Possibility of Global Causality Violation" that in a spacetime containing a massive, infinitely long cylinder which was spinning along its longitudinal axis, the cylinder should create a frame-dragging effect. This frame-dragging effect warps spacetime in such a way that the light cones of objects in the cylinder's proximity become tilted, so that part of the light cone then points backwards along the time axis on a space time diagram. Therefore a spacecraft accelerating sufficiently in the appropriate direction can travel backwards through time along a closed timelike curve or CTC.[4]
