    Physicists Have Built A Time Machine Simulator





    Suppose you traveled back in time and stopped your grandparents from ever meeting.

    This would create a paradox since you never would have been born if your grandparents never met. You've prevented your later birth, so you shouldn't exist anymore.

    This is called the "Grandfather Paradox," and it's an infamous one among physicists. Even though Einstein's famous theory of general relativity actually allows for time travel, the Grandfather Paradox gets in the way. According to Einstein, a gravitational field with enough force (like the one generated by a black hole) could bend space-time enough to fold it back on itself.

    This bending could create a path through space-time that returns to its original starting position. It's essentially a time-travel loop. Physicists call it a closed time-like curve, or CTC.





    No one has discovered a CTC or successfully built one, so time travel is still not possible. But physicists at the University of Queensland in Australia have built a system that can mimic how a quantum particle would behave if it passed through a CTC and interacted with a younger version of its self. They've effectively built a time machine simulator.

    The team of physicists simulated a particle traveling through a CTC by firing pairs of entangled light particles through a circuit. Entangled particles are created from the same parent particle, so they are identical to each other and any force that acts on one immediately affects the other. The entangled particles passed through a circuit and hit a polarized beam splitter that broke them apart so they could interact with each other. Think of it has you meeting the younger version of yourself right at the entrance to a time travel loop.

    The team encoded the polarization of each particle pair they tested before sending it through the time machine simulator, so the polarization of any particles that emerged could be measured and compared to the original to make sure it was in fact the same particle.

    So what happened when the simulated past and present versions of the particle met each other? The interaction was paradox-free, and the quantum particles came out of the mock time machine in exactly the same way they entered it.

    I think Tesla and the electromagnetic guys were much closer.

    "I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. It might as well be said that God has properties. He has not, but only attributes and these are of our own making. Of properties we can only speak when dealing with matter filling the space." - Tesla

    Tesla laughed at many of einsteins ideas. He said that space is pure impotency and thus can't bend or have properties. The aether (counterspace/innerspace) is pure potency.

    As some physicists said, there is no out there, out there. A lot of these ideas are not remembering its a projection. All these higher dimensions are really just appearances within the projector. Going back in time is not going anywhere, if the hologram projects some dream story of you wrapping around in some geometric way to get back to the point in the past, its just a light show trick projecting that in one sense. Although, there could be some meaning to what its doing.

    I seen my room as all voxels, like spheres, maybe toruses. All they did was rotate and i was in a different reality. That new reality could be past future, something completely different but i didnt go anywhere. Pretty sure thats much more like life in the 4th dimension.

    3rd dimension is about seemingly moving about in space to change experience, since my bedroom doesnt change very much over time and would get boring. 4th dimension is moving thru time (the rate of change of the voxels or whatever). In other words, you dont need to go anywhere, you just morph the pixels (voxels) in your view to the new reality configuration. And that can be anything , just like your computer can display anything. Could space travel to mars, or time travel to an earlier configuration of earth.

    It can be a lot of time wasting for people to think about these topics if they don't let go of the illusions and appearances first. Otherwise, it will remain very confusing and seem impossible.

    If anything , mind bending would be a more plausible term than space bending.
