Damn. My experiments in time travel haven't worked. I'm still reading this thread, and it's still causing me headaches.  And I can't find an appropriate emoticon to express how I'm feeling.  |

...but if you are in the current, then there isn't yet a future, and you couldn't travel into the future. Only traveling backwards in time would be possible....
But who's got time for it now a days?? |

Jim Croche has the time. He was smart enough to save some in a bottle, while the rest of us were getting high. If I only knew then, what I know now.....wait! If all this is possible, I think I must have.........Mmmmm, Ice cream never got better than that until other things started to replace it. It always starts with ice cream and then the next thing ya know, you look in the rear view mirror of your Ford stationwagon and see five kids and a big dog, acting all wild in the back and at that point your reminded of that summer you and your then, future husband spent observing wildlife in the Grand Canyon. Oh your still here, I'm just rambleing on and on. You know something? Do you suppose that I just had a time traveling experience? |

I'd say that may have been time travel, Mealso, if words could make wishes come true |

Here's some more research material for you, Smerk.

Thanks, Myst. I might go to my backup plan and see if I can hijack Dr Who's Tardis. Then I'd be able to travel in both space AND time without too much fuss! |

When you borrow the Tardis, please be sure to swing by and pick me up. Traveling through space and time sounds like fun! |

Ok. I'll add it to my "To Do" list. |

If I leave a request for a time-travel visit in a time-capsule and schedule it to be opened in the year 8000, do you think they'd give me a hot robot woman?
Of course by then the definition of "hot" might have changed to "1000 arms and 300 heads," but I'm willing to take that chance. |

A hot robot woman with 1000 arms and 300 heads could be interesting, Citizen. |

Well, part of all this argument rests upon the Theory Of Relativity. And one of the linchpins of THAT is the way you interpret the Mitchelson/Morely experiment, which could have been flawed in method and execution.
An Italian scientist has suggested trying the whole thing again, in the "New Scientist" of April 2. Yes, the date is suspect, but as people have suggetsed doing the test again, or at least firming the whole deal up, maybe it's not only genuine but a bloody good idea.
( Quick notes: The Mitchelson/Morley experiment was to test the existence of a fluid medium called aether, through which all EM waves propogate. If it existed and was fluid, the motion of Earth in orbit would leave a disturbed wake that would distort EM waves. The experiment showed no distortions. M and M  concluded aether may not exist or it might not be affected by mass; Einstein concluded it didn'y exist at all, and other physicists thought that it might exist but only as another dimension - Lately resurrected as brane theory.) |

We are never gonna reach the speed of light. I think you can forget that.
You guys are so busy dreaming of how to go faster than light you are forgetting an easier solution.
I think you should throw in all your energy in slowing down the speed of light!

I would never, ever want to go back/forward in time, even if I could.
Cause, that would spoil the ending and as everyone knows, life sucked in years gone past. |

I heard a couple of years ago about a method developed for telekenisis by freezing atoms to slow them down. Then they were somehow transmitted by laser hologram to another location. In theory if this process were developed further, then larger objects could be frozen, electronically disassembled and then transmitted somewhere else. The next step would be figuring out how to transmit the information back in time or forwards in time. What we accept as everyday stuff now would appear as magic to someone from 500 years ago. here are still people alive who were born before TV, radar, space travel, so why is time travel so impossible ? |

If we could just achieve warp speed, the Vulcans would teach us about technology.  |

Has Someone worked out how long it takes our sun to orbit around the centerpoint of our solar system and how many km we are from the center(please dont mess about I need the info in exact millimeters & seconds). I still don't trust the gravitation theory that a time mechanisme will go along with the earth threw time.

Tirrag,
This may be a little late... but the centerpoint of our solar system is the sun. Granted it's not the exact center of our solar system, but the centerpoint of the solar system is a point located inside the sun. Much like the moon doesn't orbit the Earth, the Earth - Moon system each orbit around a common point in space, but, just like the larger scale version (solar system) that point of orbit is located within the Earth. So the Suns orbital period around said point won't be that long...
Did you by chance mean how long does it take the Sun to orbit around the centerpoint of our galaxy? If so, that's a completely different question and even when you do find an answer it won't be given in millimeters and seconds I'm sure. |

I still have a feeling that if someone was to time travel a day back in time your gonna have to wait 24hours till the earth finally reaches you and it will come at you at 29.785 km /sec! If you were to go a day ahead of time you will have to travel faster than 107226km/hour to catch up to the earth. If you could reach a speed of 200000km/hour it will take you 27.7386337 hours to reach the earth. So you will have to travel at 215000km/hour to get there ahead of time even a bit faster knowing it will kost you some time to acelerate and slowdown that you dont crash into the earth.

I am confused, you all seem to think that time travel is not real yet or may never be??? If it were not true i wouldn't be here. My date of bith (based on your current calendar) is the 08/04/2671, lets just say its fun to time travel, and your ice cream here is much better then anything in my time! |
