Hi,

Just found this article on-line about some guy who claims he's from the year 2256. He came to our time to make himself a fortune. The article claims

But the fact is, with an initial investment of only $800, in two weeks' time he had a portfolio valued at over $350 million. Every trade he made capitalized on unexpected business developments, which simply can't be pure luck.

The article also goes on to claim that he would
In a bid for leniency, Carlssin has reportedly offered to divulge "historical facts" such as the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden and a cure for AIDS.

*How about other useful info like what illicits now exist and does he have the receipe!*;)

Eventhough authorities have claimed the man's claims are bogus, no one can find any record of him before December 2002.

The man has refused to reveal his
the location of the machine or discuss how it works, supposedly out of fear the technology could "fall into the wrong hands."

Now, i'm not really sure what to make of this.. Does anyone believe in time travel? Anyone here with a bit of scientific knowledge shed any light as to whether or not in theory time travel is possible? From what I remember of my year 10 science lessons (10 years ago) you would have to travel at the speed of light++ and doing so you would destroy yourself or something like that.
If it is insider trading, that guy has to be the dumbest rich guy ever. Who in their right mind would just continue disclosing that type of information knowing the Stock Exchange will investigate it!

More updates posted when more info is revealed:)

No, as objects accelerate they gain mass. At speeds until just before that of light, this gain is small. However, as one approaches lightspeed this gain increases greatly, to the point whereby at the speed of light an object achieves infinite mass. Since an object of infinite mass would require an infinite ammount of energy to accelerate to that point, and no such infinite energy source can possibly exist, it is therefore impossible to travel at or beyond the speed of light. Only stuff like photons, which have no intrinsic mass can travel at light speed.

In answer to your question... It depends what you believe. 4 dimensionalism makes timetravel logically inconsistent ie. grandfather paradox, however quantum 'many worlds' theory checks out. Being a phil major and studying completely useless theoretical metaphysics makes me qualified to say... Theoretically possible, practically not so.

Do a google search for the "tachyonic antitelephone"

I wish time travel worked.

I want to travel forward in time to May...................
 
Hey Thoth - what about wormholes though? Aren't they a proposed loophole (hehe) to the whole accelerating-beyond-the-speed-of-light impracticalities?

Atleast it seems that science fiction writers are holding onto the wormhole concept as being the most promising FTL travel option around.

Maybe he's worked so hard to make his fortune his brain has snapped. Hell if he wants to give me $3million I'll call him Santa Claus, and that applies to any other multi-millionaires reading this thread

I think this has all been answered before.. in the immortal words,

When you can't find the music
To get down and boogie
All you can do is step back in time
Ball of confusion
When nothing is new, and
There's nothing doin', step back in time


I think that is proof enough. qed.
 
I wouldn't really label donniedarko as a timetravel movie.. not in the least.
That is like saying Terminator 2 is a young boy's call for help


Then again, Terminator 2 is a timetravel movie, along with Back 2 The Future
 
not specifically timetravel but it has connotations to the theory of it... eg the bunny coming back to help him out...
 
it mentions the word timetravel yes, but as claiming it as a movie to help understand timetravel not really i would think... there are a lot more movies you could have directed the lad to...

but hey, i'm just trying to kep this lighthearted.. and didn't really like darko all that much, cept it did have that tears for fears song and also that other slow haunting number..
 
i don't where i read it but it has actually been done by astronauts. clocks were set and they travelled to somewhere and when they got back they were eight seconds out??
once again only read it somewhere ages ago.
 
i actually recall an experiment with microwaves actually where they were sending packets of light through a field of some description or along a tube or something.. one in those conditions and one not.. and were able to get one there faster than the other...

its all a bit vague though that story.. my mind is still a bit scatty from the time differential encountered last weekend where nsw travelled back in time one hour

I believe that just about anything is possible, including time travel.

However, if you check that link, you will find that the source for the article is the Weekly World News.

If you are not familiar with this particular news journal, you can go here the weekly world news website

I suggest in future you get your news from the onion if you are looking for a reliable source of information. ;)
 
donnie darko's theory of time travel is pretty well much "psuedo-science", most of it dating back 20 or more years. i personally wouldn't take it too seriously.
 
There was an experiment done with cables that could transmit information faster than light. In this case the information was sound.
They spoke into a reciever and the sound came out the other end before it was even said!

And Narks, what you said was true. The faster something is travelling the slower in time it is going. If you were to run at the speed of light everything you were running past would be ageing faster.
This theory was pretty much proven when it was discovered that Nuetrinos released by the sun had a lifespan of about point something of a second, yet they can travel all the way through space to reach us on an 8 minute journey...
 
travellling to the peace calm now of the heart

Quickly?;As one continues,I find that my perception of time has (with my chosen Nike walk at that time) to be of different perceptieved (new word I just invented)realities,due to of course "everything".
Now it is of my current understanding that as ones conciousness more and more reconnects with the dear higher self/Mighty I AM Presence,then the wisdom of the eternal now of bliss is reached. Meditation does assist one in reaching the eternal "Present", of Peace that passeth all understanding,that was then,is now,and always shall be.
The more we be realisant of it then comes more the acknowledgement of residing in perfect peace for eons while yet maying having set oneself down for lesser moments of time,;
until we reach the state of Eternal Now for longer periods of time yet/but in our come back to perceived concencus Gaia reality dimension/time measurement,may have been of units of less than 20 x 60 mins duration.
Galactic Time being of 13:20:33 rather than 12:60 style.

As the veils of death,aging and linear time are are dearly and most gracefully being gently & gracefully being removed by the Higher self + Holy Celestial Angels of Heaven (Even though the veils of course, already are removed) and by Goddess realized beings on Planet Earth;transparently, more and more shall we come to the eternal now from whence wemay travel.

To my knowledge, by the grace of Goddess, most of our "sins" were sometime in the last ten years forgiven,so the only extra karma to clear is that of the 24 period we have.
With Invovations of the 7th Ray of Creation, seeThe Summit Lighthouse University of Ascended MAsters Teachings Violet Flame of Forgiveness,Healing mercy, freedom and redemption, called the key to the new age,we may be mostly karma free at the time before retiring to beddy-byes,thus(combined with what we have fed the physical vehicle;preferably only as pure as possible )-we have not so much to Pooh or Bear. Especially those with land-there is enough abundance for every one in great plenty. Plant ,grow,grow. Lets see those fruit trees planted so much more in the cities.Common sense say plantfruit tree "stax" more,but what block is it that restricts the tounge from receiving heavenly fruit flavours?

And so as one refines the physical being enough and becomes more in the moment, one may ascend the earth and go about our next duty.

I hope you enjoy it.It is an honour to be on the Earth at the same time as you.:D

I recommend healthy raving, that way you may ascend into heaven(you might choose to stay),stay young and beautiful and have a wonderful time saving others.



PLUR Eternal IS THE TRUTH:D

If time travel is possible, then it is not possible that we are in any way free to do what we want. Think about it, if somebody can travel into the future and make something happen, then that implies that whatever they do in the future MUST happen, regardless of anything else. So is that saying that we therefore could not act in any way that would contradict what is set to happen in the future. Put simply, you can either believe in time travel, or you can believe in autonomy...personally i'd prefer to stick to autonomy.
 
My understanding of Time Travel is that it is possible to
travel forward in time but NOT backwards.....Apparently
Einstein Proved this somehow......

For examaple......An object travelling at high speeds
ages more slowly than a stationary object..

This means that if you were to travel into outer space and
return, moving close to light speed, you could travel thousands
of years into Earth's future.......

Spooky Dooky .........

If someones does decide to builld a time machine....Can they
bring me back a Hover-Board and of course a Sports Alamanac
for the year 2003
