Time travel

So I'd like to travel in time but lack any grounding in physics etc

I've been doing some research on the internets and wondering if I should take some courses at uni or something

Ask John Titor...oh wait, he's dead...

For the last time those who believe it's possible to travel back in time should explain where the past they intend to travel is. Do they think that every second of our time is stored in some parallel dimensions or something like that? I asked this before, but didn't get any reliable answer. I'm no physicist and quantum physics makes my head hurt, so perhaps someone could explain it clearly?

It's very possible to do this in the very near future.

Mark my words, by 2075 we'll be starting up uni's for time travel.

Ok. Willing to bet a shitload of money on that?

Yes I already have

It's possible to go forward in time, all you have to do is travel close to a black hole, I've heard; as you're pulled in by the black hole time will move slower for you. I can't remember exactly why though, for the life of me. Sail away from the black hole, and you've jaunted forward in time.

We'd need a spaceship that can survive this though.

Going back in time is impossible as far as I can see.

You need a body that can survive spaghettification aswell.

Assuming only one's fourth dimensional position changes (i.e. the first three remain constant), try to use 365.26 day intervals... and hope no one is standing in the way.

I am travelling forward through time as we speak!

>>49
NO WAI!

>>47 depends on the radius of the black hole (by that I mean the event horizon). There are lots of ways to travel forward in time faster, such as cryo, using speed or gravity in your favour, etc. Going backwards in time hasn't been proven impossible as such, but it's very unlikely it is possible, and if it is, that anyone will be able to survive something like that.

in string theory time is the 4th dimension (with x,y,z being the first 3). and in string theory there are 10 dimensions each ontop of the others. if you could move your self around in the 5th dimension then you could move to from any point in the 4th dimension(time) to another point without going throw the points inbetween.

If you went up to the 10th dimension then what you would see is everything that is(the universe now), was(the universe in the past), will be(the universe in the future), could have been(everything that could have happened in the past), could be(everything that could happen in the future) AND everything that is impossible and could never have happened or will happen. and all this would be in 1 infinantly small dot.

SPOILER: String theory is bullshit. But even if it weren't, the extra dimensions are supposed to be all rolled up and invisibly small, so they have nothing to do with parallel universes or whatever you fuck you're trying to say. Yes, the whole theory may be bullshit, but that's no reason to just start making stuff up about it.

>>53
SPOILER: Spoilers can only consist of 1 fact.

>>52
SPOILER: This entire post is nonsense.

Wow. That was extremely stupid. I feel dumber already.

That is *NOT* how higher dimensions work in string theory. Current superstring theories have 13 dimensions, not 10, and they are PHYSICAL dimensions. Like left/right, up/down, forward/backward, etc/etc, etc/etc... None of this "imagine all possible 3D states", or "imagine an infinity of infinities"... That's so completely not how higher dimensions work! AAARGHH

the 4d directions have been agreed as ana/kata

>>56
Sounds like bullshit. It would explain certain anomalies, but regardless I find it hard to believe. I mean it's just absurd and on same level as crackpot pseudoscience theories.

>>56
Ugh, retard. There has never been and there will never be a string theory in 13 dimensions. The bosonic theory is 26 dimensional, and the supersymmetric theories are 10 dimensional (R^4 x M^6 where M^6 is some 6 dimensional Calabi-Yau manifold).

I don't think you can even have an odd dimensional string theory for various reasons (e.g. the hodge dual operator isn't an automorphism unless d=2n).

>>59

There is 11-dimensional string theory.

Time travel?  CHARLES BARKLEY IS ON THE CASE

Hey now, don't get my hoops up.
