Do you think There might be Time Machines in The Future - Page 2

**Jester** · 03-03-2011, 06:53 PM

If there is Doc Brown type time travel, then wouldn't there be time machines in the past, present and future? Sorry, had to go there.

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.

Well I'm not really shooting them down to be an ass and say my way is right. I just don't think time travel is realistic. How can we make theory's of time travel without really understanding time itself? We don't even know how far back time goes. I just find time travel interesting. Something I'd like to know a whole lot more about. If you believe in time travel, as in people from the future coming to our time, wouldn't you assume we will be living with people from the future or see history get altered in some way?

That...has nothing to do with what I said. You read the first thing I said, then nothing else.

Sure whatever. The second and third part had no real response to it other then it being your thoughts on the book. I sures hell haven't read it so how can we possibly geek up and have a conversation about it? That book also doesn't answer my question. It's just more talk.

I've read Einstien Dreams I was Fasinated by the book.

Time Travel is a fun subject, now I doubt you can time travel back in time and interact with the past. Perhaps go back and experience the past like a recording.

chad · 03-03-2011, 07:47 PM

That is a pretty cool Idea. I think I would view my life from the past as a recording

Marty McFly: Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?

Dr. Emmett Brown: The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?

Dr. Emmett Brown: If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits eighty-eight miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious ****.

Time travel is not impossible.

I time travel forward at regular speed all the time.

Sometimes when my eyes are closed I time travel forward 8-10 hours in what seems to be about 2 seconds

WHY would you even entertain him? You might as well argue with a rock.

The only people who should be serious about time travel are physicists and 80's cartoon characters.

Because he has nothing better to do then be an ass. I knew his little trick, trying to be smart like if I wouldn't understand it. Which by the way I did.

And also, it's according to me, I have my own thoughts and beliefs. I can write you pages and pages of why I think time travel is not possible.

I can write pages and pages about why I think I should be a billionaire. And those pages would be just as worthless as your thoughts on time travel. Doesn't mean you can't have those thoughts, but you shouldn't be waving them around as if they are scientifically proven facts worthy of backing up a thesis.

I was actually going along with your ideas on questioning 'time,' but you're too paranoid to accept that I was actually trying to converse on the subject with you.

Then you blew it off, which just made it seem like you didn't understand what I was saying.

Not my intention, but it happened.

How am I waving them as facts? I have the right to state my opinions without always stating "in my opinion". Everyone believes what they want to. I'm not saying "no you are wrong dumbass I'm right" because there is no real answer.

And Brodie, sorry then. But I already explained why, but you just have the reputation of always f*cking with me. So my mistake.

The point is that you've never ACTUALLY studied anything related to time travel. If you had a legitimate, educated opinion on the matter, you would need to cite your sources. You can't just decide whether or not it's possible. The correct way to have stated your opinion would have been to say "I don't think it's possible, and here is why- example A, example B, example C." Instead, what you said came across as "It's NOT possible, because I said so."

Besides, you've already contradicted yourself by saying time travel is something you'd like to learn more about. In your first few posts you seemed determined that you knew exactly how time travel worked and that it was, in fact, not possible- according to you, of course.

Without quoting any sources, and then following up with:

"According to me" comes off as if you are stating yourself as a source, not that you're expressing an opinion. If you would be willing to revise your statements as, "In my personal opinion not based on any particular scientific fact," perhaps we could drop this technicality and move on with the topic at hand. Unless you have scientific facts, in which case you should provide them.

Well, I came into this thread about to say:

"I travel forward in time all the time! I'm doing it right now!

And when I go to bed, I wake up and its EIGHT HOURS LATER!"

Seems to me that you've read my answer, reworded it, gone back in time and posted it before I could.

*Turo602* · 03-05-2011, 01:56 AM

Well you got me Rose.

And I would have gotten away with it to if it weren't for those meddling teenagers.

But I still have a question. how could there even be scientific facts on time travel if it's still unknown? All it is is theory's. They can't actually prove it without actually going in time.

You can use elements of scientific facts to form a theory.

*sdp* · 03-05-2011, 02:45 AM

Most inventions that have changed life were made based on scientific theories, not scientific fact, and they're still considered theories. They are still theories because they can not be proven as fact using the Scientific Method, however many are treated as facts.

Oh and based on what I've read, timetravel is indeed possible, however not like BTTF and its definitely not going to happen in our lifetime or anytime in the not so near future. For anyone interested to learn more and want an easy to understand version I recommend books by Michio Kaku, he can go a little too sci-fiish but he's great at what he does.
