Time travel, possible, if so what are the possible implications.

Please have an open and stoned mind when you read this.

If there is mathematical proof that time travel is possible, I am sure it will happen. However will happen would be has happened. we just dont know it. Also, there would be no need for government if time travel existed. The casinos would be bankrupt, there would be food for everyone, bad weather would be a thing of the past, poverty wont exist, all hard labor is run by machines. Factories get run by one person. That would be too much for people that think they are better than everyone else and has to be in everybody's business, and there will always be, leaders of men that work to sabotage such things from happening that would destroy what has taken just them thousands of years to build. Pretty much the only jobs that will be available will be ones where you had to be like the top in your class.

Time machines would not be made public, and if they do already exist they are used for the betterment of Governmental ICONs. Not the people. My question is what if CERN and LPA have already achieved that and we have been living the same existence in a thousands ways. All possible chooses where made. what if yesterday, I was really a the owner of a fortune five hundred company based in America giving all the jobs to Asians that will work for a quarter a day and a can of beans for lunch. But today I woke up and Im living a completely parallel existence building bathrooms and guest houses and moonlighting as a low low stakes counter. Messaging you on an internet forum, that might not exist in tomorrows future, tomorrow we could wake up and be in a nuclear war and we have been living in complete underground isolation for the past 250 years. We could be living in a time where Columbus never discovered America and the pilgrims never came, which, our country was not built, and The industrial revolution, never happened. I could be in a crack shack in Amsterdam, with some five dollar prostitute a week from now, having never spoken a single trucking word of English in my life with an immediate family from Germany, or which us future folk might call, Goosefaurten in that future, harvesting beets and be the towns sausage maker. And be 100 pounds overweight, with an alcohol tolerance 40x that of a normal man. I mean come on you cant talk about time travel and not have some fun with it. If time travel exist, the physicist in me wants to say already does, is it that far of a whisper to think that the world choose one desert that that was the only thing to be made, and that that desert was a kitkat bar???? Just saying.

And what if electing our what foods we ate end the shortages of a lot of things. Its like in demolition man, what if the restaurants had a restaurant war and Taco bell had the most profits at the end got to be the only restaurant. The country would be full of beef and tortillas but there would be an abundance of pig and other forms of edible meat. It does not hurt to think about these things.

Everytime you time travel, there will still be a need for our present planet to be somewhere.
There will be one earth for every millisecond, and does that seem realistic?

If you want to travel back in time with speed, well, you will become heavier and heavier (unlimited), and that will mean you need more and more energy.

Conclusion, you can't do it with speed, because you will get so heavy, that you will sometime reach the speed zero.
Unless you come up with something that can handle that? :-)

Interesting theory.
This might explain why everyone seems to think something is wrong with this world but we just cannot pinpoint where the problem is.
The only thing I'd change in my past, I'd dump my high school sweetheart.
She was ok, but an epic waste of time and money.

For time travel to work you would need an anchor in the present. The theory goes something like, (we need to actually invent a means of time travel in the now before the future could contact us) a kind of 'day zero' of a new timeline. Physicists Tom Weiler and Chui Man Ho have a theory that the LHC turned up to full power may be the worlds first time machine of a sort, which would give us a way to communicate with the future and the past.

Here is an article about the idea, it's all highly speculative of course. news.vanderbilt.edu...

If time travel were possible I don't think it would be possible to travel back or forth within the same time-line. The paradox's involved would most likely be catastrophic. So we may or may not ever see a timetraveller. Even if we did, how would we be able to prove it?

..but for my own sanity I will stop there.

TT is not impossible if you close your mind to the possibility!

There are numerous arguments that suggest it is not possible, well maybe they are right!

However, if time is the KEY to eveything, be it the beginning and the continued existence of both the physical & other parts of the universe then time is merely a portal in which the physical and other parts of that universe can either be viewed, surfed, traversed or ported!!

Now this is heavy sh.t I know! But time is yesterday and before, now and the future (everything) then if something was already, or is now or will be in the future then surely its just a matter of finding a means to access the already existed past and the more contrivercial im sure future!!

Has it already happened? Not sure! But ther are an awful lot of strange things about our history that may be revealling some clues!! eg. If its not ancient aliens then it can be only be the alternative!, which is TT!!

Call me nut!, but I aint leaving any door shut!!!!!!

If it is already possible or will be realised then the implications are/will be awsome!

(I wonder if this is the reason that we have managed to avoid a nuke war for 50 years!!)

if cnn was preparing for elenin...what time is it RIGHT NOW.
i am its keeper.

Time travel happens all the time. Its has to be accounted for, for GPS to work. In orbit time passes slower than on earth. So what is the the present to us, is the past to an astronaut, albeight by nanoseconds, or even less.

What if the ancient alien theory about aliens visiting us, possibly dropping us off here, or helping us to build the pyramids and all that. What if that is really the result of us time traveling back to the past and "helping" ourselves to progress. What if we achieve this technology in the near future? Can't I then just remember to contact myself in the past like 50 years from now, or whenever we achieve success. I'm sure life expectancy rates will skyrocket soon, allowing for myself to stay alive long enough to see this possibly, but then I should be able to get myself to contact myself in the past from the future.

Anyways now, I'm pretty sure that it works like this: Reality in our definition of the world is not where we are currently located. Consciousness is what makes up true reality. There is a universal consciousness which is made up of everyone else's consciousness in the entire universe all connected much like the internet. It surrounds all of us physically like a cloud, that we can't see, feel, or touch. Apart from that we have our individual consciousness that you and me are very much aware of. The universal one is very subtle and very many people are unaware of it's presence. For whatever reason our conscious chose this plane of existence to drop down into, and land in the physical bodies we operate now. Our physical body is tied to this plane of existence, the plane being made up of time and space, space-time continuum, or fabric. The origin of the consciousness as well as the universal consciousness is not tied to time. It is inter-dimensional. Gaining access to the universal consciousness will give you mental access to time travel forward or backward, travel inter-dimensionally, as well as read other people's thoughts and project and receive very strong influences that can be used to manipulate people.

No idea why I bother responding to these threads any more but here I am. I believe there exists many types of space-time travel as such I presented one version visual time traversal, of which you can watch a video and view related documents at this thread:

www.abovetopsecret.com...

The implications of this version of time travel are vast but a few off the top of my head.

1) Pre-Crime
2) Evidence of the multi-verse
3) Spiritual enlightenment
4) It'll peel the spuds and wash the dishes

My time is running out hence why I push the issue with such petulance it is a struggle to have another seek for themselves as it really is the only way to understand. If one only wants to use the tap and not know its mechanics then I have presented it all one has to do is turn it on.

Mathmatics ? Is anything but science fact. It is implied and accepted understanding.

Time Travel is impossible. I doubt we even know what time really is.

Gravity affects time so you would need something to create massive gravity fields.
Speed affects time so you would need something to accelerate your machine.
Teleportation is a must because if you go from 8.12.2011 to 8.6.2011 you will just end up being in space because the earth is NOT there, its on the other side of the Sun, so yeah you would need to teleport back to Earth.

Physics and Mathematics are another must to be able to calculate the necesary speed and gravity in order to travel back and forth in the future.

These are the implications for time travel.

Oh and i almost forgot, huge sums of money ....

I just finished Stephen Kings 11/22/63 a great time travel adventure.

It has some great ideas on Time Travel and what happens when you do it.

I agree with CastleMadeOfSand that time-travel should not take place within our time line, as the time paradoxes created could be absolutely catastrophic. If however, time travel could take place within the alternate reality / time-line lying closest to our own – it would preclude any paradoxes from affecting us directly (except for the poor peoples within THAT reality... sigh).

But can a person imagine if this kind of technology was given / wielded by every person wishing to do so? The world and its histories as well as supported futures would be in constant flux. It would make sense that only a highly-specialized team would have access to such a technology. Think of the “Temporal Prime Directive” controlled by a specialized time-commanding team in 29th century earth as depicted in Star Trek.

Speaking of Star Trek – this was a fun read:

Six theories of Time Travel in Star Trek

I love the “past, present and future are one” section.

Of course there is another theory – that before we develop the actual technology to time travel, it would be easier to convincingly simulate the past in order to have an accurate view of the planet’s history. In such a convincing simulation, the actors involved would most likely believe that they are the “real deal”. If such a scenario would exist in future, then there is a billion to one chance that WE are the simulation right now, and not the original flesh-and-blood humans on which the historic simulation is based. Which would explain why so many people are nowadays questioning their own reality. Which brings us to another question – what happens when a historic simulation deviates from its intended purpose because the actors or characters developed sentience and started questioning their own reality? Does it evolve into a worthy experiment in its own right?

Thats all good with gravy, but I mean come on, Time travel is like impossible today with our technology. Personally I believe it to be impossible period. But that only applies to the physical world. What many people tend to leave out is the world of consciousness. My conscious is part of what is known to be the universal consicousness, which also happens to be dark matter, which existed before the universe, before time, and therefore is not tied to time, like my physical body is. Which is why mentally, I can look into the future and past, as well as into different dimensions. the God theory doesn't work for me, because then you would just have an endless line of creation, god created the universe, something created got, something else created something.... But if the universe was created by consciousness, then creating concsiousness I think is easier than creating a god, and thus consciousness may be something that evolved into existence over what we would call time

Time travel is possible.
