Invitation to Time Travelers: • Post
Time travel stories are cool because both the past and future are somehow more interesting that the present and because everyone wants a redo. But so far it appears we’re doomed to live consumed by regret in the eternal, boring present. Time marches on, inexorably and only forward. Or so we thought until Einstein came along. His special and general theories of relativity changed the way we think about time forever, and believe it or not, their raw equations permit time travel. They even tell us how to do it. So let’s review the possibilities, and decide how possible they really are.

    @@chrisca time is just a coordinate, like a X, Y or Z coordinate in a traditional coordinate system. So, just like you can move in a 3D world,you could move in 4D world being the Time the fourth coordinate. Now, in our Universe you can't move the Time coordinate because it is being optimized by a cordinate descent algorithm (or any other similar) from an external source outside of our Universe. Since our Universe is being optimized at this moment you can't travel back in time. But since time is just another coordinate, like X,Y or Z, you would be able to travel back time when that external source that is optimizing our Universe decides to stop the process. It is like if I drop a rock into a big hole, it is going to move down, with no ability to return to the original point (i.e. what you call "travel back") on the Y coordinate because there is an external force pushing it down (the gravity)

Basically in a day and a half i found myself in the state some monks/etc never reach in a lifetime of trying, then again that is part of the whole trick...i wasnt trying at all, i was only experiencing, accepting, witnessing, allowing...bla bla bla...all i can say is zen exists and it is far beyond any bliss the human mind can imagine AND its the absolute best experience a human can have, a concious step of evolution imho...happy hunting to all.

    0:19 His invitation to time travelers reminds of the episode of Big Bang Theory when Leonard was signing the rental agreement with the clause that said if either of them discovered time travel they would travel back to a few seconds after Leonard signed the clause. They turned around waited a few seconds, and together went "aww." On the other hand, maybe time travelers either didn't see his video or don't want to reveal themselves to us.

    Yeah, but all time travelers forever? That's where the catch comes in. IF time travel were ever invented, it would certainly be misused eventually, as all technology is. So, even if there were laws saying "don't let past people find out time travel eventually exists," someone would have shown up if for no other reason than to thumb their noses at the law.

That is a Predestination variant. The Semi-Predestination variant is that it pretty much you are altering the past, but the alterations result in the same outcome of you traveling back in time to complete the goal you were time traveling in the first place to do, so to an external observer all future time variants are the same. Aka, Timeline 1 is no time travel, but becomes timeline 2 with time-travel predestination after the time traveler time travels.

    "the universe will allow time travel but only when it doesn't create a paradox", also known as "the universe will allow time travels that will make we study them until we find out that no break of causality is actually paradoxical according to physics, only according to our old emotional common-sense"

    My idea for how time travel doesn't break is similar to one mentioned, basically whenever you time travel whatever happens needs to (via quantum randomness essentially forcing it) end with a state of you still going back in time. Ex. go back in time and kill your grandfather, you just happen to get born to someone else at random (which also implies that the likelyhood you succeed at your task will be as difficult as some alternative is likely, which would make for a good movie). So really you could mess with anything and you could completely change the circumstances just with the caveat you end up still going back in time to do it with the same "appeared" circumstances (ex. when you return it needs to appear as if you did nothing, but all that matters is that being true to your perception, so you could return then take off some VR headset that now was responsable for your life experence up to that point).

    I recently got to watch the 1st Back to the Future, the 1st demo of time travel. I've learned ALLOT of quantum info since then, and the "Flux Capacitor" and attached devices makes much more sense. I now know about the zero-energy state present at least once in our "stack" of branes. (possibly existing for every brane) The "Flux-Capacitor" could be designed to force(or merely detect) the zero-energy fluctuations to be compensated for, thus creating a stable energy state for a basis for the calculations needed. Then, I saw the device behind the driver, which shows like 10 led gauges that seem to all get pegged to red/maximum at 88MPH. This suggests that once the energy flux (for each dimension/brane) is compensated for, they create a maximum surge of energy across all branes, perhaps allowing for a powerful release of energy that "short-circuits" across the branes (lightning-ish concept). Sneaky back door style. The key is the device that lets them pick a destination in Time. That still blows my mind though. Additionally, if timelines ARE divergent, there is no reason it wouldn't apply in both Time directions. Thus, explaining why no-one shows up to time-traveler parties...(?)

You have the capability to time travel but you have no idea what time it was, where it was held, you don't speak the language, you don't know the customs, you aren't sure what resources you might need. I mean, if I'm in the year 5000 and have a time machine I'm definitely not just going back to the 20th century of all times just on a whim because some obscure annals say that there was a philosopher back then that held a party nobody came to.

    Or, time travel is possible but we never find out how to do it so you never go back in time. Or by going back in time and changing and event, your reality becomes an identical reality to an alternate reality where the event you changed never happened. Or by going back in time and changing an event, your timeline and an alternate timeline merely swap identities. But these are all what if’s and speculation because we don’t know if time travel is possible or not but with the absence of evidence for it, scientist conclude that it’s more than likely not possible.

    Spacetime is a model that explains time dilation, but I find the concept troubling for a couple of reasons: 1. People have claimed that there was no time before the big bang, which seems like a self-contradictory and nonsensical proposition. 2. Tying space to time implies motion through time. It seems to me like we are talking about two different concepts. We can change our motion through space but we can't change our "motion" through time. Even if I experience time dilation, I might be slower, but the universe around me is ticking away at normal time.

    Your consciousness is essentially just data stored within an organic computer. If tachyons exist, it may be possible to use them to remap your current state of consciousness onto a previous version of yourself, although this would create a paradox of sorts, because you've now "killed" previous you... At the very least, it should be possible to temporal-email (temail?) yourself the results of the lottery. Entirely possible that has already happened, or at least something similar may have happened.

    Alright, here's my thoughts about the whole subject and some stuff I find is not fully thought out in this video. It's known that moving near the speed of light, causes time to slow for the thing moving at those speeds and, as stated at the beginning of the video, that thing would miss out on thousands of years experienced by the rest of the universe. Then goes one to say that moving faster than light would allow you to basically turn back time for the rest of the universe? These two statements are contradictory to each other, as you can't have a local effect spontaneously turn into a global effect without changing the fundamental way that the universe itself is acting. If moving an object near or at the speed of light causes a slowing of time for the object itself, if you wanted to reverse time for the universe, it would mean you would have to move the entire universe at a fast enough speed to have it move backwards in time while you sit in an isolated bubble of space-time which is not moving at all. And this applies to the later arguments about wormholes as well. You can't move one end of a wormhole at near light speed and have it come out in the past, because time is only being affected in the local area around the end of the wormhole, not the entire universe. This is something that always bothers me when people talk about time travel via FTL travel and it just doesn't make any sense why people keep going back to thinking that moving a single object faster than light would cause the rest of the universes space-time to reverse. The math only tells that the object itself experiences the temporal effects, not the rest of the universe. --- And now for some time travel loops and paradox theories. The reasons I believe that we don't see time travelers, is because actually traveling back in time causes the timeline itself to branch. So the person traveling backwards in time, will never end up in the same timeline they started in. This allows for seemingly paradoxical events to not utterly destroy the universe. Time loops are, as stated in the video, events that are always meant to happen in the first place. And, to be perfectly honest, why would anyone ever want to travel back to our current era anyway. It's full of war, poverty, disease, etc... It doesn't make much sense to even think about coming back to this time period. So yeah, that's what I wanted to say on the subject.

    Another paradox: If you moved in to the past on the same timeline, your time machine (which I'm picturing as a sort of box, car, phone booth, or whatever) would presumably contain a certain amount of EM radiation inside, the same as the ambient radiation outside of the box the exists all around us. You would inevitably carry some of that radiation with you to the past, raising the ambient levels of radiation there. In a single iteration, it would be a negligible amount, not even measurable. But unless you bring it to a location in time-space that is distant enough (either far enough in 3D space or far enough in the past) for that radiation to be absorbed 100%, you will create an infinite feedback loop.

    I thought the same for a while, but I realized didn't understood special relativity. The name comes from the fact that speed is relative, there is nothing standing still and there is not a real velocity to have, you only can know the speed of the rest of the universe respect to you (relativity). Once that is understood it's easy to see that time don't slows down because your speed, because there is no real velocity. Actually, the people on the ship that goes almost at speed of light respect to earth will see us with slow time, as we see them, because they can consider that they are still and we are moving (reference systems must be equal (relativity)). The cause of the time difference is caused by the "turn", they are traveling different "space-time lines" and there are time adjustments when one or another do turn to reunite again. This is a nice video to understand what I told: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Yp1-vMGKd7CydJM.html About of going to the past, in this space-time relativity describes, if you go faster than light your "space-time line" goes to the past, you don't change the universe, but the universe allows you to go back.

    please read my reply to this video at the top where i go into detail on this.But going backwards and time travel are two different things. what you are talking about is reversing the entropy of the universe so you and the universe would go back to an earlier date. this is entirely different to time travelling back to a moment in time. and these moments are saved in the universe-based on the block universe model-where every moment in space and time exists in that block universe on a grand information scale. GR and SR provide no practical time travel solutions e.g. too large energy requirements or negative energy or superluminal speeds. so forget SR and GR and do it via quantum mechanics and information theory. i have been working on this theoretically and practically. please read m comment on this video at the top in which i state how this can be done. i state the same as you that time travel itself causes the creation of a parallel universe copy of the targeted date e.g. in the past, so the time traveler will decohere into a brand new universal branch, almost identical to ours, on our date but we will never see them, even though they are based on quantum formalism-right next to us. getting to our particular branch would be technically possible but a astronomically difficult engineering and mathematical feat given the infinite number of decohering branches to navigate which would require some insane quantum super computer to map them because they are decohering into new branches all the time. even while a time traveler is trying to get to our branch, they are no longer even in the branch they were in when they started the calculations. so doable for an advanced civilisation in hundreds of thousands or millions o years, but then the probability of them choosing our particular branch out of the trillions of branches that exist would be so unlikely as to be ridiculous. after all there are infinite branches and so many like ours are identical to all the others except for minute quantum differences. i cant think of a reason why a time traveler via many worlds would choose our particular branch therefore the time traveler invite is preposterous and does not in any way disprove time travel. Rather it proves that the person who set up the time traveller invite, has an amateurish understanding of temporal mechanics and quantum formalism.

    this is my comment on the video from the top, that i mentioned. decided to copy it here as it was never replied to anyway and it goes into more detail. with hugh everitt's many world's when applied to backwards time travel it is important to note that the very act of time travel or even retrocausal type quantum tabletop measurements will cause the creation of a parallel universe copy of the present with the altered past, or a parallel universe copy of that new past.so if soone time travels from ten thousand years in our future to this date right here, they won't appear where we are. they will appear in a parallel universe copy of this date now. that is why time travelers do not appear when we ask them to. in fact a time traveler also by the many worlds version will always by the event of time travel, travel to a BRAND NEW parallel universe copy of the date they target with their time travel. although it is technically possible for them to then find their way to our particular branch, given the sheer infinite number of these parallel universe branches that are decohering all the time, and given the time travel creates and enters a brand new branch when they time travel, the probability of a time traveler ending up here is so unlikely as to be utterly realistic. that is unless they purposely undertake the mathematical nightmare of sifting through the infinite numbers of all that web of universal branches in order to find our one. and why would a time traveler from another parallel branch even be trying to get to our branch?? because our branch will just look like all the other infinite numbers of branches. nothing special and almost identical, sometimes only differing by minute quantum measurements. and as said, if someone from our branch, in the future time travels, to this date, they will end up arriving in a different brand new parallel universe branch. so asking a time traveler from the future to come here on a specific date is a completely ridiculous test which would require even advansed time travelling civilisations in the future an enormous mathematical and engineering nightmare to map all the infinite parallel universe branches decohering, in order to find our one. that is basically harder than finding a needle in an infinite number of haysticks. If an experimenter time travels one hundred years back in time, they will rotate or decohere into a new parallel universe copy of that target year in the past. and as that is a new 'timeline' a new branch, nothing the time traveler does there will affect the original branch they came from. It would even be possible to return to the branch they came from, but that would be a mathematical engineering nightmare given that we are decohering into new parallel universe branches probably all the time, with an infinite or near infinite number of them. so time travel to the past using this method would involve pure quantum mechanic not SR or GR. Any quantum measurement that involves a retrocausal effect e.g post selection where say a photons past is altered is generating a brand new parallel universe copy of the present with a new altered past. Containing this quantummeasurement subjecting it to a probability function and a Aharanov type quantum trigger to produce a macroscopic effect. and you can travel back in time. I just haven't figured out how to target specific dates in the past. And this quantum physics method via retrocausal measurements and via hugh everitt many worlds is back in time only. not forwards.the time travel event woul not even be travel but would be instantaneous and no different to how decoherence is happening all the time. This is the only practical time travel solution as all the others require negative energy, or are based on closed timelike loops which are useless for the kind of time travel we want e.g. to go far back in time. The only one that works out of the big stellar ones, is the wormholes. But it's the negative energy problem to keep them open. so the quantum mechanics solution via many worlds-parallel universe copies of the past is the only practical solution, plus it would cost hundreds of thousands to do, whereas the others have unfeasible energy requirements and are for the far future when human civilisation has advanced more-if humans are still around in a trillion years there is no doubt in my mind that they will be able to even alter the universal constants if they wanted to, changes the values of the higgs fields, slow down the expansion of the universe, reverse heat death, almost anything will be possible for them. and time travel forwards and back will be a normal process for them.though possibly controlled so the knowledge and means are only in the hands of the powerful few. ..

(and, full disclosure, I had kicked an old Gypsy woman in the crotch earlier the same day, and I had accidentally dropped my false teeth into some machinery while attacking a pidgeon that flew in with a broom at my janitor job at the particle-accelerator.) The hitchhiker urged me not to board an upcoming flight I had booked to a Janitorial Conference in Zurich later that month. I followed his advice, The flight disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle, only to reappear a year later in the outfield at a Marlins game with an audible pop. The strange hitchhiker sold me some time-share property on Neptune, good through the winter of 2438, and got out, chuckling. When I got home that evening I found my picture was gone from my high school yearbook, I was married to a woman I did not know, and I had a tattoo of lottery numbers on my arm. The numbers hit, and I win six million dollars, and still wound up on relief. A year later I came down with trichinosis and went bald. So Einsten was wrong!

    Holding events inviting future time travellers assumes that time travel, if ever developed, can be carried out freely. Aeroplanes allow us to travel anywhere on the surface of the earth, but they need infrastructure, i.e., a landing strip, and there are limits imposed by fuel capacity and weather. Maybe future time travellers will need devices installed anywhere they want to land, so time travel to before the technology was invented isn't possible.

    There are 6 resolutions to the Grandfather Paradox: 1: Time travel is impossible. 2: You go back in time, but are unable to kill your grandfather, no matter how hard you try to do so. 3: Time travel itself sets you into a different universe, and you can only kill an alternate grandfather that isn't really yours. 4: You go back in time and die in the vacuum of space, since the Earth is still back in your time, and didn't come back with you. 5: You kill your grandfather, so you weren't born to go back to kill him, so he lives, so you are born, so you do go back and kill him, and so on and so on forever in a paradoxical loop until quantum mechanics (which act independent of cause and effect) come in to play, and somehow prevent you killing your grandfather after however many loops it takes for the probabilities to actualize in exactly the right way. 6: Nothing happens. You kill your grandfather, and then that's it. You now only exist as an arbitrary configuration of matter and energy. You weren't born, and none of your memories ever happened. Does that not make sense to you? I think the universe missed the part where that's its problem.

    What about travelling forward in time to a ridiculous magnitude, to where the universe randomly reconfigures itself to a past state?

    Haha they did that in Futurama. The universe ended up being a cycle. After certain amount of time there is the end of the universe and then after that there is another big bang. I think that's also how Dark series works. The apocalypse must happen.

    Or travelling far enough in an assumed infinite universe where the local space is configured exactly like ten years back.

    have we thought about putting people in super fast orbiting ships in a sleep for like a month to get them, like further into the future? If we ever needed an Arc or something, say we need a planet to heal or terraform before it's safe to go down. we could make it go super fast to speed up the waiting process, no?
