Time Travel: It’s POSSIBLE!
Unfortunately, Lexxlurkers description of the nature of time travel is really the only way it can be described, it’s extremely difficult to explain these things in laymen’s terms (unless it was done in diagrams!!!).
The way physics and it’s laws are at the moment understood to be requiring the actual nature of the universe to be changed, which could be as dangerous as the infamous Higgs Bosen.
Light travels as a constant, although huge natural events like a Black Hole are powerful enough to disrupt light, which has lead a few scientists to believe that time travel may exist by entering a black hole, only problem is nothing can survive the gravimetric force of a Black Hole.
Our perception of time is looked at by the nature of light, another theory is that travelling faster than light would result in time travel, but if that were possible then you would only go in one direction.
I don’t believe the manipulation of light will yield the answer, I think it’s possible to create unatural events by bending or refracting light, but it’s difficult to see how we can affect the universe by mastering light.
At the moment we are still struggling to understand the forces at play in the universe.
But although it sounds far fetched, I think the answer would be to create a tear in space-time, somewhere where the forces of the universe could not impact upon.
This is not impossible, scientists have created a vacuum where no gravity or electro-magnetic behaviour has been observed, they had strived to remove all universal forces from within this area, it was at a microscopic level.
But even after acheiving this, an energy source was registered, no one knows how this energy was being created…it’s called zero point.
The good thing is that they know it’s only a matter of time before they realise where this energy comes from, and once they do they can add another force to be removed.
It’s my belief that if all forces are removed, then this may open up an area that might be able to be controlled.
At the moment we do not have enough information to guess where time travel might come from, and like Lexxlurker said, it may require the energy of the universe to allow time travel…but we simply don’t know.
It’s more difficult because time is man’s invention, it didn’t come as part and parcel of the universe, we created the concept of time to suit our needs, for instance the whole world could throw away our watches and clocks and pretend that time had halted, but in reality nothing has changed, the universe continues it’s actions regardless of what we do.
The same goes for light, we could change an area of light, but it would not affect the universe as a whole.
It could be possible to affect the laws that govern the Earth, if you created a large enough area where the universe’s forces couldn’t affect it, then it could do something spectacular, but without the forces of the universe the planet would die and us with it.
It’s difficult to see how anything could survive or be acheived, as any area that could exist outside of the universe could not be monitored from the inside, placing anything in this area would disrupt it, as you have entered something that is part of the universe.
Like if you created a bubble of an area that has no universal forces at play, would it continue to exist?, or would it just destroy the experiment.
You could look at it from the outside, but the most you could hope for is that your instruments have measured that area correctly by telling you that all universal forces had been removed, without actually being in there you would not what was happening, if there was a way of stabilizing long enough for a human being to enter it, then if it was possible for someone to see from the inside out, then maybe they could view time, but even if it were so then they would have no control of how they viewed it.
But then you might be able to affect the bubble from the outside, maybe cresting a bubble inside an intensfied field that combined all the universe’s major forces might influence the nature of that bubble.
But then not only do you have to find a way to introduce a human into this enviroment, in which they could not survive, but also get them into that bubble, where again it’s possible they wouldn’t survive.
The theory is because of what we know, we now know that matter and anti-matter does exist, and with everything in the universe there is a positive and negative at work, therefore an area that you could describe as a bubble (positive) universe (no attributes in our universe could be allowed to exist) would have it’s partner in our (the negative) universe, and that the greater power one has over the other, the more it could be influenced in how it behaves.
