Do you think There might be Time Machines in The Future

chad · 03-03-2011, 05:41 PM

I've always asked myself this question. Do you think that may there is a chance that there any may be in the future. That is if scientists try to figure someout,

What kind of time travel are you talking about? Going to the past like from 2011 to the 1800s/creating a paradox? Going back and getting younger or older as you go? Rewinding everything with you? Going back days but not really affecting time it self? Which one?

chad · 03-03-2011, 05:57 PM

I don't know The One where you go back in time and it creates a paradox.

*Turo602* · 03-03-2011, 06:00 PM

Well then that's physically impossible. You can't go back in time and be the same age. You will go as far back as your age lets you.

I guess I meant the one where you can go back in time and sometimes it can end up changing certain events

Don't be so difficult. Jesus Christ.

For the sake of simplicity, and to receive simple answers, let's say he's referring to the same kind of travel seen in "Back To The Future".

chad · 03-03-2011, 06:05 PM

Yeah, I was kind of referring to the kind of time travel

I take time travel serious. According to me it's impossible unless we're talking about going backwards a few days without actually manipulating time itself. In fact, what is time? We don't know. We can't see it or touch it or do anything with it. We created time. Who says every June is my birthday? I certainly don't see myself grow every June or feel different It just happens.

Sorry for going overboard. I was actually going to make a thread regarding time travel being possible or not.

*Roseangelo* · 03-03-2011, 06:10 PM

AFAIK the current theories on time travel (based on string theory) would only allow you to travel forward in time, not backwards.

Going forward could be possible if it's in the way that I'm talking about as just skipping days by the Earth's movement without messing with time itself.

Hahahaha, according to you. Oh God. Oh my God. You went there. Look at the time travel expert. Hahaha.

Reading the early parts of this thread is like watching the mentally deficient battle wits.

True enough, but Turo, IS THIS YOU?!

Nice time travel theory. Oh wait, you're a troll.

By the way, did you think that up yourself? Because that was lame. And yeah, sure it's me.

*Cure* · 03-03-2011, 06:41 PM

OK, lemme go about this another way. Turo, do you honestly think that stating YOURSELF as a source for something you have no way of knowing anything about DOESN'T make you look idiotic? Look at Rose, she's talking about the string theory; you're talking about TURO THEORY.

So am I not allowed to have my own theory? I have my own thoughts on time travel. I still think all the theory's I've heard are still impossible. So yes, ACCORDING TO ME. It's coming from my own mouth.

*Brodie* · 03-03-2011, 06:49 PM

Fine, fine. Lets discuss time travel.

While I think it's pretty lame you shoot down the ideas or possibilities of different forms of time travel, or simply say "NOT POSSIBLE, ACCORDIN' TO ME." I think raising the point of actually questioning time is legitimate. It is, in fact, a man-made concept.

A really amazing book on the subject (as well as bringing up far more in depth and downright intruiging/terrifying concepts of time and time's existence), is Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman. Each chapter explores time, and its movement, or existence, or -it- as a concept/bieng/tangibility, in very different ways.

And, if you really want to screw your head up a bit, whilst considering time, and time travel? Consider the possibilities/existence of Quantum theory/mechanics. That's always fun.
