Time travel...

true, its these "cock" dat makes the world go round.Originally posted by Ferret:Its not just cock. Different people are interested in different stuff. Just cos you dont dig it doesnt means its cock. Respect other people and other people will respect you

It'll never be possible. Time travel will affect the history. Time travel will then affect the balances of the world.

I finished the book leOriginally posted by xking:I'm reading the "Timeline" by michael crichton now.. something to do with travelling to the past. I dun think it's possible to travel back to past thou...and even if one day, the technology is so advance that we could, might not be good thing..cos we're meddling with nature and it will have its effects.
Like in the story, they came up wif a technology to transmit ppl like sending data via a fax machine from one universe to the other... but it had its flaw... those return to find some of their "data" not fully transcripted back or some alteration wif their original self. Tanscription error....
I like the idea they put forward of universes coexisting side by side with ours...
And you know something ? Dean Koontz (From the corner of His eye) and Michael Crichton (Timeline) both mentioned that these side universes happens when someone made a decision both good and bad somewhere...
You should read it. You'll find this somewhat interesting -
its not cock ! ArGGhh !Originally posted by Ito_^:true, its these "cock" dat makes the world go round. -
Some people just dont know what discussion and chit chat is all about...

Played Red Alert before? Interested in knowing more about the chronosphere? Here's your chance.

i wanna see weather storm, the soviet missle and iron curtain from red alert 2 next

i remember that about 2 years ago, there was this scientist who managed to make some particles move forward in time. i can't remember if it was radio waves, or some kind of light particle. infact, i don't even remember how he proved it moved into the future.
it was on discovery though. -
really? that would be ground breaking.. any more details i can search with?Originally posted by nismoS132:i remember that about 2 years ago, there was this scientist who managed to make some particles move forward in time. i can't remember if it was radio waves, or some kind of light particle. infact, i don't even remember how he proved it moved into the future.

Haha. Funny. Reminds me of a joke among my friends about useless mutants. No I am not off tangent.Originally posted by nismoS132:i remember that about 2 years ago, there was this scientist who managed to make some particles move forward in time. i can't remember if it was radio waves, or some kind of light particle. infact, i don't even remember how he proved it moved into the future.

Let me explain. Its about this useless mutant with the power to see 1 second into the future. So its like...I see...! and wham ! we are there.
So how far does it move anyway ? If it is just one two second.... Then pardon me for laughing like a hyena -
speaking of that, i remember that particle moved 0.25 seconds into the future
-
WAHHAHAhahahHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHahahhhaHAHAHhahah !Originally posted by nismoS132:speaking of that, i remember that particle moved 0.25 seconds into the future
I am so..so..sorry... -
your mutant abit useless but not really lah considering it might allow you mroe reaction time, imagine you are a goal keeper.....Originally posted by Ferret:Haha. Funny. Reminds me of a joke among my friends about useless mutants. No I am not off tangent.

anyway its a start anyway we have to crawl and walk b4 we can run -
No no...I mean how to prove conclusively they moved something 0.25 seconds ???Originally posted by hisoka:your mutant abit useless but not really lah considering it might allow you mroe reaction time, imagine you are a goal keeper.....

Its like if I moved a pen across the table then yes I have moved it into its future too and whats the big difference ??? >_<' -
ya their theory is that both the past n present are universe coexisting side by side... i like the way the story unfold... from in the beginning.. makes me wanna find out what really happened to that guy found in the dessert.. very interesring read indeed.Originally posted by Ferret:I finished the book le

Interesting read...But do you ever feel that there might be some truth in all these ?Originally posted by xking:ya their theory is that both the past n present are universe coexisting side by side... i like the way the story unfold... from in the beginning.. makes me wanna find out what really happened to that guy found in the dessert.. very interesring read indeed. -
duno abt that unless someone really prove it exist ..we never know..Originally posted by Ferret:Interesting read...But do you ever feel that there might be some truth in all these ? -
ya dats the part im really curious about..Originally posted by Ferret:No no...I mean how to prove conclusively they moved something 0.25 seconds ???

Jet Lag
The effect, known as time dilation, occurs whenever two observers move relative to each other. In daily life we don't notice weird time warps, because the effect becomes dramatic only when the motion occurs at close to the speed of light. Even at aircraft speeds, the time dilation in a typical journey amounts to just a few nanoseconds--hardly an adventure of Wellsian proportions. Nevertheless, atomic clocks are accurate enough to record the shift and confirm that time really is stretched by motion. So travel into the future is a proved fact, even if it has so far been in rather unexciting amounts.

A Wormhole Time Machine in Three Not So Easy Steps
To observe really dramatic time warps, one has to look beyond the realm of ordinary experience. Subatomic particles can be propelled at nearly the speed of light in large accelerator machines. Some of these particles, such as muons, have a built-in clock because they decay with a definite half-life; in accordance with Einstein's theory, fast-moving muons inside accelerators are observed to decay in slow motion. Some cosmic rays also experience spectacular time warps. These particles move so close to the speed of light that, from their point of view, they cross the galaxy in minutes, even though in Earth's frame of reference they seem to take tens of thousands of years. If time dilation did not occur, those particles would never make it here.
Speed is one way to jump ahead in time. Gravity is another. In his general theory of relativity, Einstein predicted that gravity slows time. Clocks run a bit faster in the attic than in the basement, which is closer to the center of Earth and therefore deeper down in a gravitational field. Similarly, clocks run faster in space than on the ground. Once again the effect is minuscule, but it has been directly measured using accurate clocks. Indeed, these time-warping effects have to be taken into account in the Global Positioning System. If they weren't, sailors, taxi drivers and cruise missiles could find themselves many kilometers off course. -

Einstein, for example, in a famous letter, wrote: "For those of us who believe in physics, this separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, although a persistent one."

there will be a tremendous change to everything if time travel's made possible. many good points about that, but nothing less with the bad points. imagine what terrorists could do.
world peace.
say, i'd rather remain this way. -
Time travel is theorectically possible...you just have to travel faster than the speed of light...but then again, anything is theorectically possible. Also...as for alteration of history affecting the present...heard of the butterfly effect theory? It's been made into a movie...haven't watched it yet, but i think it depicts a pretty realistic view of the the butterfly theory. Anyways...are there any sciences forums here?

Well, if you believe that time travel exist in the form of multiple universe, then it really isn't time travel at all - at least for the rest of us who are unable to do it. This is because whatever already happen in this universe cannot be changed. You are changing the progress of another universe. So, if you are the one who is making the time travel, good for you. For the rest of us, what you do in another universe does not affect us.
Of course, if technology exist to allow everyone to move to another universe, then it really is a disaster for this universe as well as the rest. Since this universe will be empty out in no time and the other universe will be quite messy due to too much meddling from this universe
