And thus we arrive at the Theory of Relativity. Everything we perceive is relative to time so if we try to measure time relative to...well...time, when time stops, so does your reference medium. Therefore if time stops, you perceive...nothing! Until we come up with a different medium of reference, we will have no way to even see if there is a difference.TheGreatCoolEnergy said:
Yes I realise this, especialy the fact that going back in time could create millions of paradoxes not even concieved yet.klakkat said:
Yes but then you wouldn't be able to act in frozen time and there would eb no point, which is why whatever allowed you to control time would have to allow you to be removed from the flow of time, so that there would be a purpose.Diablini said:
No neccessarily...Like what is there right this second worth travelling back for? Compared to like major historical questions like Jesus' life.The_AC said:
Did I miss something? I thought that there were only 10 dimensions, but anyway there is no Zero Gravity, it is an exponentially declining figure, You'd have to have the only mass in the universe to have Zero Gravity.Crescent Sun said:
Time as a fourth dimension is a "relativity theory" view. This differs from classical physics where time is seen as a separate dimension that flows at an even rate, independent of physics. Relativity theory also states that the faster an object goes toward the speed of light, the further it goes through time - time (relatively) slows down for that object. Say you were twenty years old and got into a spaceship, and travelled for five years at nearly the speed of light. When you then returned to earth, you may find that the population has actually aged 50 years. But it only would have felt like five years to you while you were inside your spaceship and you would only be 25. Now if you could travel AT the speed of light, what happens to time then? Does it go infinitely fast, relative to you? Does this mean that you are then "frozen"? Since speed is also relative to different objects (you may be walking at 5 miles an hour but the earth is also rotating which is another movement relative to the earth's axis, and also orbiting the Sun which is a movement relative to the Sun, the the solar system is also drifting in the Milky Way etc...), if there is a speed difference of 1 x the speed of light between you and everyone else, then who is to say which object is moving at the speed of light and which is not? What is the reference point for the relative speed? Maybe if the reference point is also moving at your speed, is it therefore possible that the world will freeze and you will not? You may wish to study relativity theory a bit more.TheGreatCoolEnergy said:
Proof of dark matter( yes it's real, just not in the SCi-Fi way) and M-theory change alot of prenotions. Even string theory makes since, when you add more strings. The point remains, humans know very little compared to what we discover. Kinda like finding a future machine and pushing random buttons, you have no idea what will happenGerazzi said:
Eh its Strong Nuclear is teh name of teh force that causes the attraction of masses and gravity is an effect of a high speed centrifuge not teh attraction of molecules. E.e we feel the effects of gravity because the earth is spinning not because the earths mass is attracting our mass.Cargando said:
Again your right, i just found my textbooks in a an effort to find out. Its the relevant size between two masses and their centre of gravitys that causes teh attraction , teh spinning i was thinking of is a centripdal force acting in opposition to gravity which is why the force of gravity is slightly less than if we were a motionless planet.Cargando said:
as is my understanding what you are saying is correct but the wormhole method is only necessary for traveling back in time. Forward time travel can be achieved through relativistic effects, meaning: go really fast. according to relativity if your speed begins to approach the speed of light, time will pas more slowly for you then for others.Epitome said:
