GreyWeather Posted June 15, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) If it did work - depending on how far he sent it back - it wouldn't 'end up' in this reality but instead create it's own reality elsewhere. ...so they say. Still... time is a measurement not a dimension... Edit Fixed "that" to "they" ~_~; Edited June 15, 2007 by Chokmah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daluni Posted June 17, 2007 #5 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I you look at quantum mechanics you could see that it's not that illogical. Sending coherent messages to the past by only one millisecond would be an enormous achievement with far reaching consequences for future technologies. But I wouldn't want to bet on it.

StarMountainKid Posted June 17, 2007 #6 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Actually it's not as wacky as it sounds. If you read the original article: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/319367...html?source=rss it's in relation to a legitimate quantum phenomenon, entanglement. I've read about this kind of experiment before, and it seems a reasonable if unconventional experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtwt5237 Posted June 18, 2007 #8 Share Posted June 18, 2007 If every time you make this experiment, you create a new reality, then the number of realities can be indefinite and growing forever. If not, there is another possiblity that you are due to make this experiment at a certain time, and somewhere in the past you were due to appeare. So the number of realities is 1. It seems to me that the latter model is more reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thozzman Posted June 18, 2007 #10 Share Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) THREE CHEERS FOR CRACKPOT SCIENCE!! You mean like the theory of manned flight? Because everyone believed the Wright Bros were insane for trying to fly. They called it crackpot science. Anything is possible once they've figured out how to do it.

Mme Mel Posted June 18, 2007 #11 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Obviously it's going to work, other threads here have sceptics reporting distorted/multiple realities. Which means we're already experiencing the fallout of similar experiments. Darpa probably doesn't want to fund it because they've already discovered it in a secret lab somewheres.

Startraveler Posted June 18, 2007 #12 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Cramer's been writing the Alternate View for twenty odd years and he wrote a column about this particular idea in this one, if anyone's interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r2d2 Posted June 20, 2007 #14 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Quantum entanglement raises some interesting possibilities. Instantaneous transfer of information, the ability to manipulate individual atoms and quantum computing could revolutionise humanity and push it into a new age. watch this space...

Instantaneous transfer of information, the ability to manipulate individual atoms and quantum computing could revolutionise humanity and push it into a new age. watch this space... It would however violate the "non communication theorem", and breach relativity. Large separation entanglement also seems unlikely.... but hey.... where theres hope.... Sending messages back in time would also violate causality so any reply, proving the experiment had worked, may well appearin a separate time - thread to our own and we would never know that it worked.... now my head hurts!!!!!

Lord Umbarger Posted June 28, 2007 #16 Share Posted June 28, 2007 If every time you make this experiment, you create a new reality, then the number of realities can be indefinite and growing forever. If not, there is another possiblity that you are due to make this experiment at a certain time, and somewhere in the past you were due to appeare. So the number of realities is 1. Sending messages back in time would also violate causalityUnless there are only two realities, this one and another one where all hell has broken loose and the predictable laws of nature don't exist at all. Imagine a mirror universe where time doesn't flow like a stream but, sort of pools like a pond. everyone believed the Wright Bros were insane for trying to flythey didn't actually fly. Their machine was just so ugly that the ground repelled them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Alexandros . Posted June 30, 2007 #17 Share Posted June 30, 2007 They actually already have, a while back, a team of russian or german scientists made a time machine or teleport machine. they put in an apple and activated it, it worked, but only half was left in the machine, no one knows what happened to the other half. Ill try and find some proof 4 your guys, but i really cant remember who even did it o what year, all i know is that it happened when TV was black and white. Can anyone else back me up with this?

KBA Posted June 30, 2007 #18 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hey, I say we should all reserve judgment. Tesla, for example, was ridiculed for his seemingly outrageous claims such as a particle beam weapon, but his only fault was being born in an age that wasn't ready for the wonders of science.
