I’m in a wormhole somewhere and quite lost

Which reminds me…

One supposedly scientific method of time-travel is to create a symetrically traversable wormhole (what goes in one end comes out the other), then send one end on a relativistic round-trip to a nearby star. You now have a wormhole where you can go in one end and come out the other and the two ends are not in the same timeframe (because the end that stayed at home might have aged 10 years to the other’s 1). Voila, instant time machine.

The only problem (other than a lot of spoil-sport physicists claim it won’t work) is that you can neither travel back to a time before the wormhole was first opened, nor forward to a time after the wormhole closes, as there’d be no end to emerge from. So if someone built one of these things in the future the reason there’d be no TTTs is because they didn’t build it today.

As for Andrew Carlssin, he was probably his own “unidentified benefactor” who (a) got away with it on the second attempt and (b) came back to spring himself with his ill-gotten gains. I would.

Actually, I was reading late last year that the wormhole idea might not work after all.  It seems new mathematics show that it doesn’t work out the way people thought it did.

Geez David, that’s like the iris of the StarGate in the SG series.  If these no one to open the iris in the past the TTT would be trapped inside the wormhole….forever

But if time bends (like in the theories by Einstein and Stephen Hawking, then maybe?  I’m putting this here but am also going to put it as a new thread too

Time doesn’t exist…

No it doesn’t…. YOU ROK Mark-N-Jen!!!!

What about the time travel fund.  Its an ingenius idea.  Highly unlikely that it would work or that they would actually place the money in that fund.  I noticed a few things about the webpage http://www.timetravelfund.com/ - one - that it doesn’t have a place to actually contact anyone - and although it has Q and A on the page - there is no place to post more questions. So I did it for fun and wanted to suggest to a few others - just as a gas - but then I realized that they didn’t even ask for any really identifying info - just my name - and there are a lot of folks in the world with my name. 

I wasn’t too worried about those who said - how come no one is disappearing right before their death - because it may not actually happen that way - how many people go missing?  Every day?  So I thought, it be like buying a lottery ticket there is such a slim chance but while you have ithe ticket you can think of the possibilities - as with this - so I thought why not - something to daydream about - however the thing that cinched it in my ever doubting mind is definitely the name thing.  I used my husband’s paypal so I suppose they could link me to that - or make a mistake and take him! otherwise I can’t see anyway they’d know it was me…

Oh well clever hoax in any case.

Yep, Time Travel Mutual Fund is a hoax.  Although, they claim that it’s not.

Normal is just another word for majority my friends.

P.S, if you wanna watch a show abouyt time-travel, watch ‘phil of the future’ on the Disney channel, it’s one of the bearable things my sis watches, quite funny some of them.

No, because if there wasn’t an exit open in the past there wouldn’t be an entrance in the future for them to have stepped into.

Correct, it is just a human tool for measurement.

Imagine it like this: We can’t go back to a previous point in time because once an event has “Happened” it can’t be Un-happened”. Once an eventy has occured, it is not “Stored” anywhere for future reference. It would be like pouring three tins of paint into a big jar and mixing them together. Once mixed you will never be able to un-mix them back into their previous forms.

BTW I know that was a bit garbled but it made sense until I had to actually write the post!
