Time Travel

It's been proven that time is different outside the earth.

i'm not sure if you really know how theories work in the real world...
:/


this is what you are talking about in regards to "theory":

which is definitely not the same thing in regards to scientific theory.
what you are saying= daydreaming hypotheses.

nothing really scientific going on in your what-if land dawg.

"The word theory, when used by scientists, refers to an explanation of reality that has been thoroughly tested so that most scientists agree on it. It can be changed if new information is found. Theory is different from a working hypothesis, which is a theory that hasn't been fully tested; that is, a hypothesis is an unproven theory.

i know what it is tyvm. a thorey is a incomplete but generally accepted almost complete explanation. BUT still eaves room for more data to be added later
"
i can copy and paste stuff from wikipedia too.

what you were stating is not scientific theory but simple conjecture.

Without researching any of this stuff again, just off the top of my head basically, the current theory is based off of string theory.

Every possible path or time line of anything to have ever happen and has happened is already out there.

Take this example:

There exists a version of me who traveled back to say 1963 and prevented JFK from getting shot. While I was back in 1963 I accidentally caused some kind of accident that killed my mother.

Do I still exist? Of course. Did I change history? That's the tough question.

That chain of events is one path that exists. If there was any problem with my changing of events to prevent my existence, that path would have never existed to begin with.

What about the history I knew of before I went back in time to change events? That's the tough one, because in my perspective (as in consciousness itself) time is always moving forward.

Subjectively you can never change the past. The chain of events, although crossing along time, is still a linear path in my existence.

Objectively... well everything is relative so did I change history? Only I would know, but that change is just my being continuing to move forward.

So that's all I can think of at the moment.

If you can convince the whole world of something essentially you can change the past :P

Memory alteration is time travel 101.

is that a philosophical theory or hyphothisus?

I can't even figure out what trolling really means, but I'm one of those guys that laughs at his own jokes even when I read them over again later so you will just have to grin and bear it, like that time Uncle Chuck stayed at your house after he got out of prison.

Also forgot to mention that the only things that can travel back and forth in time are sub atomic particles I believe. Can't remember if atomic particles could, got to look that up.

In any case molecules and higher structure can't travel back in time. Best case is the whole suspended animation thing or that thing where you travel really fast around the earth to so called go into the future.

philosophical theory.
our knowledge of the past is on a basis of memory so changing that memory collectively essentially could change the past.
the plausibility of it happening large scale is a bit ridiculous, but on a small scale i bet it has been done.

a good example is the glorification of American History in American History Textbooks.
:D

Trunks went back in time, a few times. You should ask him.

i do not believe he did.
he went into a parallel universe/multiverse.

It's silly to say something is impossible. We just don't know.

It sure is fun to imagine though!

this is a nicer way to put what I was trying to say lol.

Even if you convince someone of something they still have the memory of the what they thought previously.

You can change textbooks, you can change written history, you can change anything regarding recorded history, but you still haven't changed what really happened.

I don't know...but if haste truly takes time to proc, then time travel must clearly be possible. {You can have this.}

I think we just need to ask those Moogle Time Mages how they pull it off.

why do you think that?

in regards to the textbook stuff.
that type of change isn't a direct change.
it's more of an over-time change.
meaning that over time people will not know what is really true.
that concept is especially true in this day and age when it comes to past events IMO(aka 911/war on iraq...etc)

1984?

Mab, I agree with you, and was just adding to it.

yup yup yup :D
weird how much of a reality it has came to pass so far.

i like this more modernized movie as well.

This article is a good read. Found it while trying to find out about what particles can travel through time.

Subatomic Particles: Time Travel Redux

One time I went to take a nap, and when I woke up I was in the future.

Because I firmly believe that the world was not created in 6 days, although there could be a time where I was told this was true and believed it.

People throw spins on past events all the time, still doesn't change what actually happened though. If we could read the 4th dimension like a book, then we would know for sure what did happen lol.

He's getting at the notion of Plato-style epistemology and the concept of universal Truth (beyond perception.) Sort of like when Plato espoused the idea of men who live their entire lives chained in a cave and can only see each others' shadows cast on a cave wall, and whose entire concept of reality is based on shadows of actual objects and what they perceive as reality are shadows.

http://www.historyguide.org/intellect/allegory.html

The idea being that what we know to be reality and what the chained men see as reality are two different things, but (supposedly) the reality we know is the correct one and theirs is based on faulty perception. Thus (again supposedly) the universal Truth of the situation supersedes the subjective reality caused by human perception of events.

Of course New Age 420-lifestyle thought will easily counter the notion that we can possibly know anything or everything, but Plato at least makes a good effort in suggesting universal Truth exists.

/end tangent :p

Can you please share this information with the rest of the world so that we may experience this phenomenon as well?^^

Wow it's been a long time since I remember reading that example in class.

But I was more or less referring to string theory. An absolute truth to history only extends to our spot in the 5th dimension.

Who's to say the 6 day reference was literal? How we perceive time and how God perceives time are two completely different things. As confusing as the Bible is, it was written in as 'layman terms' as possible so that we could relate to everything in it.

Although many inflation theory scientists believe that the universe was indeed created in a very short time frame. It supposedly reached about 90% of its current size in a matter of a week (or 6-7 days). The remaining 10% would be attributed to the widely accepted rule that the universe is continually expanding.

I knew I shouldn't have used a religious example, lol!

Couldn't resist though.

My point was you still remember what you thought was true even though someone convinces you of something else. Your old idea is still in memory.
