Time Travel, according to an 18 yr old Quantum Physics Student~ (smart kid)

[Orion11]

I just came across this while looking up "tacions", it resonated a bit so I thought Id share, This is from an 18 year old Quantum Physics student~

I sat down with Daniel Dye, an 18 year old MCHS graduate soon to be majoring in either computer engineering or quantum physics, and here’s what he had to say.

Q: In your opinion, what is time?

A: Time is what one makes of it. There is no constant. There is no pattern. It is simply a way for man to cope with the irregularities of the universe.

Q: Irregularities of the universe?

A: Irregularities like time, which can be different for all mankind, and then be the same just a moment later. That a race so new has tried to make order in a place that knows only chaos.

Q: And what about the possibility of time travel?

A: I think that it’s possible, however, I do not think that time travel should be attempted until after all of mankind understands the paradoxes of time.

Q: How could time travel be achieved?

A: First, prove the existence of the tacions, a particle that exists beyond the speed of light. Once done, we would have to harness and replicate that power.

Q: What about traveling through a black hole?

A: If possible, I feel that it would be a method of dimension folding. However, I don’t think it would be intelligent because creating black holes to travel would ruin our ability to navigate the universe.

Q: Dimension folding?

A:It has been said the shortest distance between point A and point B is a straight line, however that is not true. Dimension folding is where you take point A and point B and fold the space to where there is only a gap in distance.

Q: So you believe in alternate dimensions and universes?

A: Yes, because for every choice, there is an alternate option, and there is an alternate universe for every possible option.

Q: So, are all events in all parallel universes occurring simultaneously?

A:I feel that all events within our universe are happening at the same time. Believing that, this is a fundamental rule that would exist in all universes. So with all events happening at the same “time”, the answer would be yes.

When asked if he feared people would attempt to disprove his theories, he responded: A theory can not be disproved, only alternate theories can be created.

lol, ok

Fringe physics maybe... Not exactly fantasy. All of it is far out but none of it is really original. Most of it he probably read from his elder scientist peers.

[Orion11]

I agree.

[Dantheman62]

Kinda cool and I agree with alot of his theories, I like the last statement, A theory cannot be disproved, only alternate theories can be created. Boy, some people in avalon should read that! LOL!

That one was my favourite too Dan. And I really like the bit about time being different one minute and the same the next - or something like that. I think of the old expression - 5 minutes spent making love goes by in a flash while 5 minutes spent hanging by your fingers over a crocodile infested swamp last an eternity.

I'm sure time travel is possible, just wish I knew how to do it

I have had a similar theory of the nature of time and the "timelines" we all exist upon. The best analogy I can generate is to think of a honeycomb of hexagonal cells. The timeline we individually exist on can be thought of as the straight edge of the walls of the hexagon that lead to a "Y" or fork in the road, if you will, that gives us an A or B path decision leading to the next "road" and fork. How we move through time and the events we encounter are dependent upon those decisions. I think we may all have had, at one time or another, the sense that a certain chain of events is relatively certain and there is nothing much we can do to alter the outcome, based on choices we make. What I also think is that the straight lines can be bent, meaning that every miniscule detail of time and the future path we choose is not predetermined, but even when bent, the path must lead to the "fork in the road" where a choice can be made. In a larger picture, all of reality is composed of this three dimensional honeycomb. I theorize that the parrallel cells and paths represent the "alternate reality futures" so many describe. I do believe that there are numerous potential futures that can simultaneously (in a larger context) coexist. When psychic premonitions or future dreams occur, they may be futures that can be avoided by not taking the paths that lead in that direction. Perhaps this is form of cosmic radar that humans possess. When predictions are made that do not come to pass, it does not necessarily mean that premonitory vision does not exist or that the psychic nature is a hoax. It may simply mean that we are forewarned sufficiently to avoid that path. As far as my take on time travel, I have always thought that travelling into the future would not pose any paradoxes to our "now" existence. I believe that regressive time travel may be possible, but limited to events that do not contradict anything in our "now" existence. I find it very reasonable to assert that opening a portal to [I]view[I] past events in a non perturbative way would pose no problems nor create paradoxes. Anyway, that's just my two cents worth

[Brinty]

How's this for a theory of time?

Picture a planet sized sphere and a wheel. Thanks to perpetual motion, the wheel rolls along on the surface of the sphere for eternity. The path that the wheel has travelled, is the past, while the future is the direction the wheel is moving in. The present is where wheel and sphere make contact. Occasionally the wheel crosses its own path - could this be de ju vu? You know that feeling you sometimes get - that I've been here before?

This theory also allows the possibility that we have it in our collective power to influence the direction the wheel moves in, but we can't change where it has been.

Hasn't it already been proven by Burish that time travel exists for some here already.

Here come the theories.

It's been STATED by Burisch, I don't think he's PROVED anything. If you believe his story then yeah... I personally don't know one way or the other. Also, Burisch talked about 'seeing' into the future (looking glass) not traveling....IIRC. And that wasn't really even the future, just possibilities. I could be wrong about this though.

Some scientists have said that time travel will 'exist' beginning with the moment it is discovered/achieved. Meaning, that that point in time will be the start point and in future time travelers will only be able to travel back to the moment of 'discovery'. They won't be able to go back any further because the means of time travel didn't exist before this point in time and therefore time travel is impossible. This is one theory.

There is a film called De Ja Vu with Denzel Washington. This film has a secret agency with a sort of looking glass technology whereby Denzel travels back in time to stop a terrorist who blows up a ferry with a lot of people on board.

I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't got something like this already based on ET finds and all the rest. Or alternatively there working on it.

[Orion11]

yep, I agree Tuza,
I think they have more than one technology capable of this in different ways.... ( i think) lol
I will have to check that movie out though, sounds interesting, thanks !

I wouldn't be suprised either. In fact I would be very suprised if they weren't!

P.S>I'm gonna check out that movie, I meant to see it a while ago. I can't believe that it came out two years ago, man time flies...

I will take your word on the later

Possibilities... yes quite

Look at it this way... I am using the Looking Glass and watch you walk down the street... The street ends at a T intersection... You pause... decide which way to go...

Well I have looked around the corner to your right... I saw a car veer of the road and kill you...

I have also looked to your left... and there I saw you look back when you heard the car hit the wall, then continue on your way...

As you have not yet turned the corner... there are at least two possible time lines, but neither is set in stone as you have not yet initiated either...

It is in this way we influence time lines with every decision everyone makes...

If I now run out and stop you from going right... I have influenced the time line in a MAJOR way... because now you do not die...

BUT If I have not looked down the time line far enough...

Imagine now if that person on the street was Hilter before WWII? Had I ley him turn right and die, well you get the idea.


As more and more people become aware of this, (it may be that our subconscious has a built in 'looking glass' of sorts), more and more people are making small minute changes to their own time lines. As this increases there are sure to occur conflicts, and crossing time lines...like a big bowl of spaghetti were you leave one for a while then return to it later.

Experiencing 'missing time'? You may have jumped a time line...

Have a memory of seeing in the News someone died, then find out he is still alive? You may have changed time lines

Have a memory that is clear as a bell, yet you cannot find corroboration? Misplaced something you could swear was there just yesterday? Someone makes a prediction they are POSITIVE will happen, but the day passes and nothing?

Are you crazy? Maybe... or you shifted time lines..

And the ONLY reason we are even aware of it at all, is because we exist beyond this body... otherwise all of you would never notice a flicker

Interesting isn't it?


Time is not linear, it is spherical

The Looking Glass is real...

But the Whistle Blowers get 'nervous' when I show the real stuff... Not sure yet why that is...

"I don't understand . . .' " said Alice. "It's dreadfully confusing!"
"That's the effect of living backwards," the Queen said kindly: "it always makes one a little giddy at first- ''
"Living backwards!" Alice repeated in great astonishment. "I never
heard of such a thing!"
-Lewis Carroll

Abstract:

Imagine a mirror that reflects more light than was incident, that reflects a beam into the same direction regardless of the mirror's tilt, that eliminates image distortions by causing light rays to retrace their paths as if running backward in time, and that when looked at allows the observer to see absolutely nothing.

Science fiction, you say? Well, such mirrors have been the subject of intense investigation both here at Los Alamos and at other research laboratories around the world. Not only do they exist, but their practical applications may be far-reaching.

Paper is still available from the Los Alamos Archives... but if you want it you will have to PM me and request the link

I wonder if this young man could put his mind to relative dimensions, aka having something on the outside the size of a small shed, but having the inside is in a different dimension and can be as large as a 100 room mansion. Some of you will know what I am talking about. My avatar is the blatant clue.

Just a question for Zorgon: If we see a repeat of certain actions/events in our life, is that not only deja vu but the reaction of jumping a time line?

Just finished watching Deja Vu, great movie!....watch-movies.net
