If at some point if is ever invented, then by law, it will have always existed.
It doesn't currently exist, therefor, it will never happen.
Hope you can wrap your brain around that and take it all in. Cause it's deep.edit on 8-8-2011 by BrnBdry because: (no reason given)

let's say we both where able to speed through time, except i can do it quicker(hypothetically).
So we go to January 1st, 2012. Ill get there, lets say, a day or two faster, but we will both meet each other at the same date and time.

doesnt this post contradict the thread you just started here

although I am not sure why I bother with this as neither has much merit

Okay,agreed.But what if you didn't wait for me.You kept progressing.The gap eventually going from days to weeks,months and years?Even though the destination stays the same I would be way behind you,further and further everyday.
To illustrate another example let's say their is a race,and both of us have been given the points in time or desinations we are to pursure,their are 60 points.We leave at the same time,same day,ect..We know that this race will last years if not decades based on the space between time points.
So we set off.Each of us with exactly the same gear and equipment.When you reach point 20 five years has passed by already,but I am at point 10,and already you have traveled twice the distance.So by the time we reach the last point ,is it fair to say that you would have done it in 15 years,then 25 years later I would finish.
But that's not all.Their is another race to pursue right after you completed the last.Same race,different points,so on and so forth.
Would you in essence be traveling through time faster than I am even though we are at the date,month and year?

No i would be traveling through space at a faster rate, not time. Unless i am moving significantly faster than you, then according to Einstein i am actually traveling through time faster. But if we are moving at the same speed, i just happen to have a better route, then we are actually traveling through time at the same rate.

Okay understood.So let's say you were going twice as fast as I was,moving through space quicker,and according to Einstein therefore traveling through time faster as well?Would that be correct?
Take the same scenerio above which you just replied too,and apply the speed variation to it.Would then in essence you be traveling through time faster than me even though we are sharing the same day,month and year?To add to this let's say at each junction or point in reference we would be rewarded with knowledge,how to make a wheel.Then the next point,how to build a wagon,the next,how to use horses to draw the wagon and the one after how to use horses for plowing.
What I am getting at is is it possible that there are people who have accelerated forward at a faster rate than others,doing things more quickly and utilizing time effeciently enough to be far superior and advanced?
The topic in and of it's self is not about time traveling as one would think,such as you referred to using Einsteins theory.But rather utilizing time more effeciently to surpass others in time as we know it to be.
Let's say at point 40 in the above scenerio I have recieved enough knowledge that I can start to suppress and control the amount of knowledge you can get,but all the while I am advancing,years and years beyond you,and far superior in my knowledge,still moving forward,but you have come to a stop or near halt,because you have been restricted.
I hope I am making sense,please forgive me if I sound foolish.Now here is where I think I can tie it together.There's you who has certain knowledge of things,and there's me who has vast knowledge and still progressing forward,unrestricted,but all the while restricting your ability to gain knowledge.I then start devising technology that is able to predict events in the future and bring that knowledge back in time to the present,to utilize as intelligence to stage an outcome.Example:let's say for a year I knew that there was going to be an impact of some sort on Earth and you are unaware.I have taken one years worth of time and brought it to the present time and prepared for it.You on the other hand had no foreknowledge.
As example only:You've heard the saying that our government is decades ahead of us in technology.Are we living the same reality and time they are in or are they in a different dimension inside the same dimension we are in?

We lost 1.26 microseconds (millionths of a second) in time during the Chilean earthquake scientists say.
Cosmonaut Sergei Avdeyev holds the world record for TIME TRAVEL. He traveled 0.02 seconds into the future.
So the rotation of the Earth seems to be key in time travel. The slight stopping of it during the earthquake casued us to lose time, and the cosmonaut traveling faster caused him to go forward in time. So to me, it's simple. Either travel really fast the direction of Earth (WHILE IN ORBIT) or travel in the opposite direction of the Earth (WHILE IN ORBIT) and vuala, you should easily accomplish what was once unthinkable.
I'm sure speed, and time spend up there in that speed, would determine how long you go forward, or backwards depending on the direction you are going.edit on 8-8-2011 by BrnBdry because: (no reason given)
