Possible Time-Traveler?

Post Reply New Topic

Time is understood better than you think. It is a thing which is measurable and malleable. For example, time runs slower on the earth's surface than it does in orbit. The difference is imperceptible to a person, but the difference is enough that GPS systems actually need to take it into account.

Examples of time travel related issues in real life:
- I noticed that time goes faster when I am sleeping.
- Through hypnosis, you can go back in time and meet your younger self, and experience past events again.
- Deja vu.
- Telescopes are time machines, if you watch a star that is 100 light-years away, then you are watching the past, something that existed 100 years ago.
- Watch a home movie of yourself and your family, you would be watching the past.
- When you look at yourself in the mirror you are not looking at the present, you are looking at an image of the past, because it takes time for light to carry the image that is being reflected in the mirror to get into your eyes, and the brain to process the information you get.

Another note, there is another possibility of experience of time travel, Holodecks, if technology allows some day to create virtual worlds in a similar fashion as the holodecks in star trek, then historical events could be simulated.

ya i can explain that dream part when u sleep it gives your brain and body chanceto relax/prepare u in combat thats why time goes fast in your sleep your brains just need to handle as many things asa posible during nigth

Time is merely a persistent illusion.

well, it seems that now we have proof of photons traveling much fastar than light!

That is an awesome lecture. I believe I learned more from it than an entire semester of quantum mechanics. Really makes me wish I was going to Stanford.

I really didn't want to read the whole topic before responding, so I'm problably going to say something stupid..

But.. Greek fire was invented in ancient Greek times, right? Wasn't that around 3000 years before the Islam even existed? So, why would anyone go back to 700 AD to invent Greek fire while it was already invented?



But, eh. Time traveling doesn't seem that impossible. To get back on topic

EDIT: What the hell, I thought it was invented 3000-4000 years ago. Well, my history lessons slacked, appearently it was used around 500 AD for the first time. Says wikipedia. So the islam still didn't exist.
