What makes time travel impossible

This theory says that time and space are linked together. Einstein also said our universe has a speed limit: nothing can travel faster than the speed of light , miles per second. Einstein's theory of relativity says that space and time are linked together. What does this mean for time travel? Well, according to this theory, the faster you travel, the slower you experience time.

Scientists have done some experiments to show that this is true. For example, there was an experiment that used two clocks set to the exact same time. One clock stayed on Earth, while the other flew in an airplane going in the same direction Earth rotates.

After the airplane flew around the world, scientists compared the two clocks. The clock on the fast-moving airplane was slightly behind the clock on the ground. So, the clock on the airplane was traveling slightly slower in time than 1 second per second.

We can't use a time machine to travel hundreds of years into the past or future. That kind of time travel only happens in books and movies. But the math of time travel does affect the things we use every day. This post originally appeared on Business Insider Deutschland and has been translated from German. For you.

However, in his final book "Brief Answers to the Big Questions" he also stated that the notion of time travel was a "very serious question". Researcher Peter Millington from the University of Nottingham wrote a guest post for The Conversation, in an effort to get to the bottom of some of these questions.

You need a space ship that can travel extremely fast though, approaching the speed of light, or you need to get close to a supermassive black hole. It is travel into the past that there is no known practical way to do, and is probably impossible.

So what happens when we Die? Where do we go? I want to go back in time so I can meet my childhood friends…. At what point, when a person says they are from the future, do we stop throwing them in the funny farm and actually start listening?? If it were so, we could glimpse blueprints of the future that we could bring back to the present and build before they were invented.

My personal. I would love it if I had a real life time machine here with me now which could take me to anytime I want, the past, present or future. If I had a time machine here with me now, I would go to the past in September when I was born and give myself to another family that is actually rich and not this horrible family that I have now.

Wormholes are unpredictable, until warp speed for spaceships are a thing, it is not possible for the space ships to achieve time travel, unless they want to enter a black hole, which I would not recommend. Yes it would be awkward to raise yourself. Basically you would have two memories one of the former timeline and one of the current different timeline.

And that my friend is absolutely what you do not or would not know. To change the ingredients of a past life only changes the flavour you have in this life, it does not make you happier.

No, travel to the future is not possible. Like, future is unpredictable and always have been so give up on that field. Depends if it is the Governments they done it since the 80s , or if it was a Accidental travel, or a simple us creating our own machine. Either way, one can easily find storys, and other evidence with a good research. I have a website that shows the effects of change cause by time travel. They are out their done by the government since the 80s but the future is open with time travel told its open since so they travel back much.

Create a closed loop circuit around a full metal structure, hermetically seal it and bring O2, Use two tesla coils to create north and south poles. Artificial Magneto sphere.

Make sure to pain the outside in lead to prevent any cosmic rays from penetrating the materials on the inside. Pressurized Mercury, and Tesla Turbine. Then Move x faster than light depending on the charged field, Friction will be added to the electric field instead of the craft allowing the G-forces not to crush you inside.

The field will take the pressures of outer space, The temperature of space will allow for super conductivity of the structure. Eventually you will arrive in the future, if you stay in one place. There are many different ways to make wormholes, but the curvature of space is really hard to calculate to send a machine far out to the end and create a link with the machine that wants to travel there.

And leaving one behind to get back. Human Time is recorded in the magnetospere as a movie is record, ed on magnet VCR Tape or a song on a record. A VCR or record does not have to go light speed to retrieve the recorded info. All of life is recorded in 3D by our Magnetosphere. My Analogy is imagine a VCR tape cartridge being the earth, imagine life on earth being the movie but in 3D with out adom made tape, imagine Rotation and Revolution of Earth being the VCR putting all in to motion- playing.

By the way long before life on earth, he built the original 7 wonders of world Pyramids to Pump the Seven gasses into the atmosphere of this planet found in the goldilocks zone, so Life can live on it, and that life of all types is his technological cyborgs that grow and multiply on earth also he seeded it with plant, trees, sea creature and things that fly,.

Anyway that above is how time is recorded. Until recently, I thought my neighbor was a crackpot until he actually invented a time machine. He utilized an ordinary closet, and showed me the sophisticated to me instrumentation he had installed. I was very skeptical at first, until he offered a small demonstration and entered the time coordinates and energized his invention. To my amazement, when I opened the door, the clock on the wall was 30 minutes later than when we stepped into the machine.

Destroy this thing before it destroys us!!!. So happy to have my husband back after 6 months of separation. Robinsonbuckler11 gmail com………………………. Meaning, there is not past present it future, only our perception of time. What we know as past present and future have always been occurring simultaneously, so travel was invited the moment the universe wss formed.

Dinosaurs are roaming the earth right now, and forever. I am also doing kinda same work , please spare some time suggestion me improvement.

Meaning, there is no past present or future, only our perception of time. What we know as past present and future have always been occurring simultaneously, so travel was invited the moment the universe was formed. Their had to be one point however, when it was created and started, and for that, there was nothing but the current time.

Once it was created, than we had a pass, present and future to which we can go back to millions of years to see Adam and Eve with the dinosaurs or go millions of years in the future. However, given the events that changes, each time a new time line has been created. We also have destroyed the planet and repopulated many times in the last million years. Each event changed, or something we do different without traveling enters a new universe where some things may be different or the same.

Today are universe are shifting a lot. We could send a machine back and order it to do anything we want and then tell it to meet us at a certain time in the future.

So is it actually possible? Time travel has been done on purpose by the Government since the late s. From research, the mostly use kids, or future Presidents. Their are some cases where people have been struck by lightning or came across some tragically event that cause them to leave their timeline either forward or behind in time. The Mandela Effect is the current cause of how things go wrong when time travel is not done right. Click on my name to see the website.

Even as traveling to a location as a future or pass date is possible as what people here mean. However, as you said, it is numbers. Time is a illusion and we do not travel threw time, just universe that are different than ours. What we call time dates and months is what changes each universe. We are all from different universes today as they came together. The mandela effect is a fine example. I want to go to my elementary school again.

Someone help me out, I know its Idiotic but stil.. I am not good at science. As far I understood, 1 we can trace through time if we travel fast than speed of light.. I think memory os the only thing that is faster than light, Yeah I can go to Paris within 1 sec in my memory but yeah its illustion, i want in real 2 Through Blackhole — I think its Bermuda triangle.

That is how it worked with others. No one gets younger otherwise traveling to far back would kill you. No school would let you return to school as a adult so not possible. Plz help me I just want to send a message to myself in my past and save my self from a beast plz help Nazneen. I think that time traveling should be left alone, for the sake of humanity. Well stephen hawking may be wrong.

I mean, the study proved that the universe self corrects itself to prevent inaccuracies. If you guys have read about Butterfly Effect, a simple mistake today may grow through years to become a giant disaster in future so if you think of it, oncoming tourists from future may cause giant inaccuracies. Imagine this, You have travelled to past. His daughter goes to Cambridge and marries someone else than the person she was supposed to marry according to time.

Can you imagine the magnitude of inaccuracy after years? Creepy, but food for thought. As brilliant of a mind as Stephen Hawkins was, how is he so sure that he would even recognize hordes of tourists from the future? Almost everyone is aware of the warning of the Butterfly Effect. Most future people coming to the pass our time seems careless and not intelligent.

Most are taking FBI lie detector test and telling us what is happening in the future. That is a bad idea, because if you tell us example who is the next President, and the Government does not like the person they than can change that event to let someone else in as seen in One should never acknowledge who he or she is or why they are their.

Most traveling is to get knowing of the pass or to pick up certain things. Since are pass is changing, events are changing and are timelines are messed up, someone made a mistake. The Mandela Effect is a fine example. I think it is possible, but time traveling is really just changing universe created by different time lines. Our whole solar system is in a whole different place now and Earth is much smaller in this universe from the one I grew up end.

Someone has already changed the timeline. Youre wrong about your measurement of speed for traveling, in order for time to slow down, with inside an object compared to outside. Scientists proved that time with inside an object at an excelorated speed actually appeared to have slown down during the duration of time for the test.

In to the volicity of space. Generating a vacuum of space, could be no different the the actual transport of matter over frequency where in fact matter can be carried by sound.

It is believed that an alien civilization harnessed this energy in the form of bolisks that where believed to carry the same properities and in consideration of harmonic resinance, the simularities could be used in order to carry large weight. In accordance with a documentry on theoretical science. However the properties, present the fact that a working property controdicts your counter intuative theory of gravitational deceloration of matter to colide within itself to absorb all things into non existance as to the transfer of matter into energy, rather then your idiolisms of transfer between dimentional space to another destination that is not linked or the transfer between time that isnt, either.

However to reproduce the fabric of time within space in a practical measurement as I have mentioned, would put an end to all the lunacy of an unmeasureable field, which people fail to identify. Like running into a glass window. Only to not know what forcefield is present. Any time travel, pass and future, is by going faster than the speed of light.

It is said by reversing that that you can go back in time. However, I assume since the Government has done this since the 80s they have better ways maybe tying in a date and not having to go to a unknown date. I want to send a message to myself in the past on a particular date plz can you help me, this means a lot lot lot to me,plz help me Nazneen.

People have and their are records both to the pass and future.
