Do you think in the future we will have the technology to travel in time?

Time does not exsist, Clocks do.

Close the shades and break your clocks it can be whatever time you want it to be.

 

We do look back into time. As we probably all know, the light from our sun takes 8 minutes to reach the Earth. Needless to say that lights we can see that are further take longer.
So, essentially, we do travel back into time when we look at the sky. And into infinity.

 

I`m not naive enough to say that it`s impossible. People claim that scientific discoveries are impossible before they`re made all the time.

Though, I suspect that the human race will be extinct relatively soon, and we wont have enough time to figure it out.

If anything, I would guess that we`ll figure out how to look into the past (not necessarily go into it)

 

anything is possible even in the near future, with technology who knows time travel could be possible. mind you i watch way too much Doctor Who.

 

not true. your body operates according to "circadian rhythms." your body kinda "knows" what "time" it is, and releases different amounts of different chemicals on a daily cycle. if it doesn't, you don't function properly.

so 12:00 - 12:00, doesn't really exist, but time actually does. moments pass by. it took you TIME to read this.

 

Lets ask Donnie Darko.

 

Stephen Hawking did an experiment on this. He took an piece of metal, I forget which one exactly, but one that's basically indestructible and engraved invitations to a party on the pieces. I forget EXACTLY what he did next, he may have mailed them out randomly or some such thing, but anyway, he had the party at his house on the date printed on the metal invitations. No one turned up to his party. He claimed that this was a pretty good reason to assume that time travel would never be possible because in the future, someone would have found an invitation and would (if they had the technology) travel back in time to attend a party with one of the most famous scientists of all time. Since no one showed up, it meant that time travel was disproved. Either that or he was just unpopular. But I'm probably dumbing it down a lot, it has been a while since I saw it on tv when he was discussing it, but the was basically the gist of the matter anyway.

My own personal opinion, time is relative and therefore to travel through it seems like something we could never achieve. If we do somehow find the technology, it won't be in my lifetime, so it won't impact me. Unless the future folks have already traveled back in time and their effects are what is responsible for various situations in my life right now. lol. Even if that's the case, it still doesn't influence me because I am not aware of said interference. I certainly hope the technology is never made available to us, since we will most certainly fuck everything up, like we always do eventually.

 

What if someone from the future had the ability to visit Hawking's party, but chose not to on the very grounds that you surmise, that it would create unwanted changes in the future?

 

"Do you think in the future we will have the technology to travel in time?"

You mean like grow older.

 

Time is completely relative to location. We cannot travel back and forth in time without also traveling back and forth from a central location. We already do this to a certain extent. We can hop on a plane, fly halfway around the world, and lose quite a few hours in the process. Time travel is just a matter of figuring out a way to make that plane, or time travel vessel, travel faster than the speed of light, if its possible at all. also, we don't really know the implications of particles traveling faster than the speed of light.

I look at time as a piece of fabric. I think its theoretically possible to rip that piece of fabric and travel through it, but I think its easier to do in the mind than in a physical sense.

anyone know whats going on with the large hadron collider?

 

Your image of travel doesn't take some things into account.

There are no discrete systems. In order to travel back and forth from a central location, everything would have to stop moving except for you. The whole universe moves everywhere at once. What we call events are parameters fashioned by description only.

 

I don't think the human species will even exist in 100 years. I also don't think we can accomplish such a feat in less than a hundred years. We might be able to send someone into the future but i doubt all of them will end up in the same place lol.

 

The way I see it, the 'time' that we will be travelling back to will already be adjusted to the fact that we have travelled back and destroyed say a butterfly. Everything has happened and time has adjusted to the fact that we have been back to fuck it all up. Even if time travel has been created (Which I think has) as if we would know. That shit would be top secret until every possible fault was tested. Which would take decades.

 

I personally don't believe that governments are there hiding stuff like this from us. If this were true then some tester of the technology somewhere would have taken a huge cash reward and spoke out on it. Even if we could bend time, I don't think we could completely change where we are in it. I simply beleive the theory that if we moved fast enough, it would alter the speed of time for the individuals going that fast.

 

How in the world could one travel to the future when there is only now? And now. And now. And now--ect. There is no future and the past only exists in our memories and not in some static condition/location. Reminds me of a tale by Richard Brautigan. He goes to the Cleveland Wrecking Yard and buys lengths of trout stream with trout in them where they are stored up against the wall. Dissembly ,if tried ,would be devastating on our squishy parts.

 

Time flow is not a constant; the speed of light is. The fact is: time flow can increase or decrease near gravity depressions in the fabric of space. When we accelerate small particles to near light speed, from our perspective they come from the past. The fact that the time shift we can currently create is small does not negate the principle.
Even Doppler effect and red-shift is a clue to how we are all traveling through time at slightly different rates and yet remain within the same space-time universe.
Listen to the up/down sound of the horn of a passing train. Listen to that same train horn as a passenger. Look at a nearby yellow star. Then look another star that happens to be traveling away from us. (You'll need a telescope). Such stars appear redder to the observer than they would otherwise.
The universe is a stranger place than you might realize at first glance.

 

Time is only concept, however 'time travel' may be possible. I mean we can't say it's impossible when we can't grasp physics on a proper level. We won't either, not until we actually venture out into the universe.

We can speculate the possibility, or we can speculate the improbability, but the answer is still simple speculation. I am an optimist, however.

 

Weather it be [1]time travel by time dilation an near 'C'
or [2]the theoretical application of the tippler engine to go > back

[1] we can achieve now but would bankrupt the earth
[2] not for a long time

 

Really

so how is it people at the equator experience 1 sec/per sec at different 'rate' than those at poles.. time dilation... read a book dude.
They are 'physically younger' . That 'concept' packs some effects. Like gravity.. or is gravity a concept?
Einstein put forward theory [ proven in experiment as fact] in 1905. 106 years latter peeps are still confused
