TimeTravel

[krazedkat]

No, a wormhole is just a rip, no traveling faster than light there.

Well yes that is true, but if you think Point A is placed here and now Point B is placed here. Now if you walk through point A you arrive at Point B in an instant. So in some aspect you could call it traveling....really fast.

 

[krazedkat]

But it isn't traveling, it's a rip. It's like if half of the second floor of a building callapsed on half the first.

 

[Tesla]

Well I see your point there but still.... meh

 

[krazedkat]

I myself don't fully understand wormholes but I have a basic, working knowledge. I should read some literature on them.

 

[Tesla]

Yea I agree, it's good to have knowledge of things, cause
1. you can talk about them, also know what people are talking about.
2. some of the stuff is also rather interesting.
3. can defend your point, and actually know what your saying is true.
-I'm going to read up on wormholes as well.

Ah ok I gotcha, but well wouldn't something faster then light be, per say a Wormhole?

A wormhole is like cutting a corner,
Even though you take the shortcut to your grandma's on your vespa you still wouldn't accelerate any faster and go 10*3^3 km/h

This is a wormhole:

An ant is on one end of a string and has to get to the other side. By using a wormhole you simply bring one end of the string to the other end, and the ant can travel instantly to the otherside.

I got this from A Wrinkle in Time ^^

I don't think the Sci-Fi perception of Time Travel will ever be discovered but you never know, such things like Epic said in his other thread, if you manage to take a wormhole out a few thousand light-years into space and somehow look back at Earth, you would see what it looked like in the past due to the light from the present day not reaching you yet.

I think time travel into the future is definitely possible.

 

[Dr. Hobo]

I know very well what a wormhole is.

Exactly like my building example...

Time travel has been pecieved in many ways throughout the media. Different films mould timetravel to their whim. Terminators timetravel shows that cannot change the past. John Connor became who he was because of those meddling future dwellers. And other movies say you can change the past. Personally, I believe in the theory that anything that happens is supposed to happen, so if someone was supposed to go back in time, he will.

 

[krazedkat]

Looking to films for info on timetravel (unless they're nonfiction) is nonsense.

I think it's entirely possible, I'm sure we have/will have the means of accomplishing such a feat, it's just that while there are still fucktards that shit bricks and rape history, so GROW UP PEOPLE!! I WANT MY JETPACK!!!

just for clarification, that was directed at humanity as a whole

 

[krazedkat]

I agree that the possibility is there but I'm not certain humanity will live long enough to time travel.

It'll take nothing short of an nuclear to kill off humanity, and even then...

 

[Mattis13]

No doubt we'll live long enough to accomplish this feat, the question is, by the time we do, will humanity have matured enough to be able to handle such a responsibility?

The thing is, if we were able to travel through time, wouldn't we know about it at this point.
I understand that they would be hiding themselves, but I'm sure they could have slipped up.

Also, bringing this in from another thread: We would only travel back as far as our 'time' was invented, right? If theoretically a time machine was created, we would only go as far back as we recorded.

Again with the "we named time, thus we created it" dissilusionment? would that mean that your history doesn't even start with the initial creation of your very being, that a child isn't actually a part of "time" or "history" until they are named? then what the hell were they for nine months?
