I would like to share an idea I have on a time traveling machine. As we know, the faster we travel, especially when approaching the speed of light, our internal clock slows down. Therefore, if we were to travel at this kind of speed for a long enough time, when we exited the machine we would find ourselves in the future. People observing our machine traveling at this speed might watch it for several generations, but for us in the machine, only a short amount of time would have passed.
Now comes the problem. How do we build such a machine to transport a person at this kind of speed?
And another part of the problem is this. It would be ideal to build such a machine to travel faster than the speed of light so that our time traveling results would be extreme---we might be able to transport thousands of years into the future. And, when the machine surpassed the speed of light, it would vanish to the people watching it. But, the scientists claim it is impossible to surpass the speed of light. They say it is impossible. I say it is not. Here is my plan:
The machine would be built in the desert. It would contain an axle mounted into an immensely powerful motor. On the axle would be a giant arm miles and miles long. Below specific points along the turning arm would be a magnetic track keeping the arm up off the ground therefore allowing it to turn with a minimum of friction. Imagine this device as a clock laying flat. On the end of one of the clock hands would be the cage/car/capsule that we would ride in. The motor would turn at a fast speed, but nowhere near the speed of light. But, the further you move out along the arm, the faster that point along the arm moves. It's just like on a clock hand. Near the center of the clock, the hand turns slowly, but at the end of the hand, it moves faster. There has to be a point on the arm (if it were built long enough) that would be turning faster than the speed of light. Yes, it would be long. Well, we could even build this device in space if we needed to.
You mathematicians could figure this out. Make a model of this device. Consider that the center of the clock hand, the point where it hooks onto the axle in the turning motor, is rotating at 10 mph. The part of the hand hooked on to the axle is therefore turning at 10 mph. There will be a point not to far away on the clock hand turning at 20 mph. And a point somewhere turning 100 mph. If the clock hand were long enough, there would have to be a point by which it was exceeding 186,000 miles per second---the speed of light. Again, I realize the length of such a clock hand would be extremely long---but the fact is, there is a point along the line of the clock hand that would be moving faster than the speed of light. If the machine were to be built for real, I am sure the motor would have to rotating faster than 10 mph, but I just used that speed to illustrate this. I am no physicist, or mathemetician, so someone could figure out how fast such a motor would need to turn in order to get the transport car at the end of say a hundred mile long hand/arm to move faster than the speed of light.
