I am not sure where this would be put, as it the whole topic is built from various subject but here it is. Time itself is a set of rational and specific events that take place on the time line. In each sequence of events, you make decisions. With each choice comes a different outcome. As an example, if you act a certain way, someone will perceive differently. Well, with that, their are multiple outcomes that can come. By making a certain choice, it alters the time line. So who is too say that their are multiple timelines branched off a main timeline. Thus, making nearly a infinite number of timelines. By making a incision in the space time continuum, you could jump through the time lines to a specific time and place.

Here is where space travel comes in. A light-year or light year is a unit of measurement of length, specifically the distance that light travels in a vacuum in one year. Well, what if a light year is not a measurement of length, but a measurement of time needed to travel. Using a telescope in space, we receive images from distant galaxies millions of light years away. Well, using a rip within the time vortex, we could travel to previous and distant universes that eroded in time. Thus, we could use light years to jump through different timelines to get through a specific destination in the past, in space. Like Light speed, only we travel in the past to view past constellations.

i don't really understand it, i mean it sounds nice and all.

but i can just as easyly say, hey lets create "this and that" to teleport ourselves to the other side of the universe......
easy said, but we just can't do it. (atleast for now)

interesting in theory, but impossible since light year is a measurement of length not time.

Perhaps, Drayno, you could re-state this when you get off the caffiene?
It is making little sense as stated.





You see...

You state a light year is a unit of distance, which is true, and then ask a "what if" regarding it being a unit of time.
What ifs are conjectural. An LY is a unit of distance (*~5.88E12 Miles), not of time. Man has defined it as such, Thus, the question about what-if is irrelevant.


NOTE: a Light Year could correspond to a unit of time required to travel (i.e. 1 year for 5.88E12 miles)...but only if one's velocity was "c"...

Duplicate post...

forget time travel. its simply impossible

Two problems - firstly, we have yet to solve the mystery of what time actually is. We simply don't know. Secondly, you can't just make an "incision" in the space time continuum. It is, to all intents and purposes, will all the technology we have or can ever realistically imagine possesing, impossible.



Again, a problem. A light year could only be a measure of time if we were travelling at the speed of light - ie it would take us a year to go a light year in distance. But again, this is impossible - to go to the speed of light you would need infinite energy, and would take on infinite mass.

I understand what you're saying and applaud you for trying to get to grips with this complicated subject matter, but its just that: complicated! Its a problem thats bigger than all of us, and well outside the human sphere of experience. Its completely theoretical. Still, stick with it!!

Time is on the move. In our minds can we only time travel and that's time travel. Viewing time at a standstill is not viewing time unless it's in the mind. But then again, can one stop time in ones own mind and observe it?

It seems that time is an allowance of movement, allowing for experiences within space. Without time, the movment of our bodies and clockworks of the universe would come to a halt and the objects within space could only be observed at a standstill and they would make no sense to the observer. Their function and purpose can only be revealed through their movements.

The most obvious answer to this is that we are all time travelling and yet people say that time travel is impossible. It is possible and people experience it everyday. I thingk that if people want to manipulate time then just think about it. If you want to manipulate objects within time then pick something up and put it down.

People want to send something back in time? Or forword in time? I think the answers to those possibilities lies in the reasons why people would want to do such things. I dont think natures secrets, especially in regards to manipulating time, would ever be revealed to some scientist who simply wants to throw some object into the past or into the future. The answers to manipulating time and the objects in time lies in the purpose for doing so. If you can come up with a good enough reason for doing such things, if even possible, then nature might wisper something into your ear.

I wrote this on a caffine high as well so be easy on me and good morning.
