Can the LHC send messages back in time ?

yep, and you would think anything discussed 'hypothetically' would be easy. I would like to know where you get all your info though! through many different subjects here you seem to have great links and info.....now thats a real head scratcher Thanks quillius. The bulk of my information and links come from participation here at UM and learning from the many great contributors who have been discussing things over the years. That and Google.

Thanks quillius. The bulk of my information and links come from participation here at UM and learning from the many great contributors who have been discussing things over the years. That and Google. I assume you were lurking for more than the period you have been a member for i.e. since August 10? even in that short time many many posts and the knowledge gained is impressive. You still seem to have so much info to hand, so it is still a head scratcher for me edit: apologies for derailing thread

That assumes that the actual act of travelling in time does not also move you spatially and keep you in the same relative position. I like that . matter and energy are inseparable .. right? Neither can be created or destroyed.. only transformed from one to the other... right? Time and Space are also inseparable ? Some call it space/time? .. what i'm trying to say is.. if i could travel in time.. say to yesterday at 8:00 AM ... i would be where i was , yesterday at 8:00 AM. In fact, the entire universe would be where it was.. yesterday at 8:00 AM. .. sometimes ya gotta think like a simpleton to... [More]

What always gets me regarding time travel is that people don't seem to realize that it would require not only time travel but also space travel. Most people seem to think that if they were to travel back in time even 5 seconds that they would be in the exact same spot. Wrong. Consider the following. The Earth is spinning on its axis. The Earth is orbiting the Sun. Our Solar System orbits around the Milky Way. The Milky Way is moving with a local group of galaxies. And the local group of galaxies is accelerating away from the center of the universe as well. What does that mean? Ignore all of th... [More]

Gotta hand it to ya BooNy, that's pretty good. My earlier simpleton explanation might make sense for traveling backward in space/time.. but not forward. Since it's all hypothetical.. my idea of Space /Time... is that it is inseparable from Energy/Matter.. in that they Co-Exist in a constant state of recreation. * And it's this constant transformation that we experience as time passing. Some theorize that particles blink in and out of existence. Maybe they blink in and out of Our Physical reality and the added dimensions being considered ? It's believed that all energy/matter/space/time came fo... [More]

Even in literature, there are nearly no authors that write about time travel, that take that fact into account. I personally know about only two that do. One of them is a graphic novel writer.... Nice post Boon. Thanks Searcher, I'm curious about who these authors are now. Gotta hand it to ya BooNy, that's pretty good.

Forwards yes, but not backwards. Skim a black hole or get "near" lightspeed and time will slow down noticeably. Don't expect to come back in 1 piece though, even with all the technology imaginable

Traveling forward in time is possible, and easy. But you wouldn't be able to come back. Traveling backward in time would require either travelling faster than light (but you would only see the past, not interact with it), or bending space-time, which would require more energy than we know how to produce.

Its good to massage the grey matter on this matter. Time Space ,Space time Interdimensional space all have a very warm spot in my heart. Its the thought that counts,being that we are just now looking at the real possibilities! Maybe its just a stones throw away. Give me shelter Its just a shout away!

Hi there, I hate to drop in unannounced, but I just joined U.M. because I noticed a few discussions on time, and time travel and I think I may be able to clear up a few things. It seems to me that , sadly, we don't really have a good reason to believe that time exists. We think things happen, and then they are 'in' the 'past'. But perhaps things 'just happen' - if things can just happen, matter can just exist and interact, then we would still 'accumulate memories' if we are alive, but this wouldn't prove that there was 'also' a past being created behind us in some 'time' way. Just my thoughts ... [More]
