Coffee Shop No.2 - Just a Thought...


What do you think?

1. Do you think time travel is possible? If so, how? If you don't think so, why?

Well, sort of because past the speed of light, you would age slower because time slows, and when you come back i think maybe it's like the future... ~Morangue Pine

I think time travel is possible because Einstein states that as you approach the speed of light time slows down and if you were to contain this event, time would slow down for you, therefore bringing you back in time. This also brings up the question "why does light not slow down time" and maybe it does and we don’t know it because time is relative and maybe it does not apply to light because it has no mass and is not a thing but a event. And if you were to speed everyone else up by exciting there molecules and make it not affect you then they would go back in time and therefore you would be in the future. Quantum physics also states that time is relative and it does not actually flow foreword but it just is. It exists at every time and everything happens all at once. I theorize that because time does not flow it is impossible to latterly go into the future but we can go into are perception of the future or past. This is still theoretical and I think it is a bad idea because chaos theory states that going back in time will completely alter the course of reality. This also means that because time doesn’t flow foreword then going into the future can affect the past. This would take millions of dollars of research and all in all is a bad idea but I think it is possible. ~Bartumes


Theoretically, time travel is possible. However, even if you did time travel, it would NOT give you the effect as in movies and novels. You could NOT meet Julius Caesar by going back in time because you may be able to travel through time, but the life of Caesar has past, therefore, you may be in a different time, but it would still have the surroundings of the present. ie. You could not meet your great great grand children even if you traveled forward in time. ~Pomomarine

I disagree because time is relative and quantum physics proves time is relative and it flowing foreword is a illusion. ~Bartumes

I think time travel is possible, but you need a lot of power. Probably something as massive as a black hole. And yet you would need to stretch the black hole across space for it to work. I think that even if we know how to time travel, we should not. It may have dire consiquences, may possible rip a whole in space time continum or parallel universes. ~Anonymous via Comment
