It Won't Be Space Travel
Too bad we've called it space travel because once are out there no one
will be calling it "space travel" anymore. They will be calling it "time travel." The spacefarer's (rather timefarer's) position will always be zero, the coordinate system will always be light time distances to planets and stars, and the numbers will always be negative numbers -- from zero -- for those light time distances to.... in the coordinate system. Negative time to zero will be time that has to be covered in positive numbers of time like positive spatial distance has to be covered on Earth in positive numbers of time. But the time traveler will have to expand the positive number of time to zero beyond the light time distance to his destination to also cover his calculated travel time to his destination. The total of time he gets from his calculations will be the total actual distance of his time travel [up through time] toward and to his destination in space. For close to a hundred years there has been speculation about travel faster than the speed of light to awesomely distant places in the galaxy and beyond. If you truly have a bent for physics and mathematics, or logic, you will realize from what I've laid out above that no travel either through interplanetary space, or through interstellar or intergalactic space, will be at any actual speed faster than the speed of light. You have only to divide the traveler's "total of time" calculated by the "light time distance" to his destination to be covered (the light time distance as is, unconverted to a negative number) to always arrive at a positive number result. A positive number result means a travel at less than the speed of light no matter what the traveler's calculated and experienced -- per his ship board clock -- travel time. It continues to amaze and appall me that people, especially many physicists dealing in cosmology, believe they are observing "space" out there, when they are doing no such thing. Some might argue that they aren't doing any such thing. I would emphatically argue yes they are if they are at all using the three space, one time, 4-d coordinate system which is and will be invalid in any discussion of, or calculations concerning, future "space travel." Particularly invalid when it comes to any discussion of, or calculations concerning, anything having to do with future "space travelers." It will not be space travel as such, it will be time travel in space. They will not be space travelers as such, they will be time travelers in space. I would also argue emphatically yes they are if they are at all using "velocity," including the "speed of light" or 'c', in any discussion of, or calculations concerning, anything having to do with future "space travel" or "space travelers." Velocity would not come into play in any travel out there until a traveler gained enough relativity in time to some entity in space and time the traveler is closing up with. Enough relativity in time to bring 'relative velocities' (plural) into play. Calculation of velocity is relative to some nearer ground or some other nearer anchor for it and the traveler will be in a vacuum without any such anchor for calculating velocity. Don't even think of the speed of light, or 'c', as being such an anchor. The speed of light will be measured aboard the vessel exactly as it is for being in a vacuum ('c'). External to the vessel it will be the speed of light in a vacuum and therefore rightly presumed to be at all times 'c'. The traveler will have no velocity whatsoever as such. He will be strictly a time traveler directionally time traveling in space midst countless differing points of light-time in space. He will be traveling up through time ahead on his way to gaining some relativity in space and time to some real [physical] entity. He will be on his way up through time from being behind in time (minus) working his way toward getting even in time with his destination (reaching zero from minus -- relative to his destination). He will be traveling down through time (from being even in time, or less behind or minus in time) behind him, losing relativity behind him to everything that will be falling farther and ever farther back in time behind him, relatively speaking that is. This is what the ever continuing constancy of the speed of light in a vacuum ('c') will mean to him, do to him, and do for him; and mean, do to, and do for, all travelers whatsoever, out there. Gravities of acceleration, inertial mass and motion, will of course continue to mean something to the traveler even during the vast majority of travel time that his velocity won't mean anything to the time traveler in space. The one exception to the above concerning velocity would be if the traveler gained so much velocity through whatever his acceleration, enough velocity, to become relative to the entire galaxy itself as a unitary entity rather than a dispersed entity. In which case he had better be on his way out of it to travel over and back into it or to travel somewhere else other than it. It won't be space travel, not largely, it will be time travel through time...in a vacuum of space. GLB |

It Won't Be Space Travel
"G=EMC^2 Glazier" wrote in message ... GLB Best it be called "Spacetime Exploring" Bert No! Not even "spacetime exploring" since it is time travel through time in a vacuum of space. I can see now that few if any can perceive that even Earth's moon is out of time with all observation of it from Earth, therefore even a traveler's observation of it while waiting on Earth to travel to it, by about 1.3 seconds (rounded off). The real moon is +1.3 seconds up or ahead in time from that observed moon (observed from Earth). Mathematicians and physicists keep on talking about mathematics being an exact science, and mathematical physics, and cosmological physics, being pursued as accurate science (science of accuracy). Not true when they refuse to put the moon 0 - 1.3 seconds from Earth and that traveler, observationally, and go on to refuse to have travelers do something about that negative in time of 1.3 seconds that they will have do something about OBSERVATIONALLY, really, in traveling to the moon. Also "not true" when if a robotic traveler from Earth takes -- say hypothetically -- precisely six months from launch at Earth to go from the surface of Earth to the surface of Mars, landing on Mars -- say hypothetically -- when Mars would be precisely 240 light seconds from Earth. NASA engineers would have to observe the landing on Mars as having to have taken, not precisely six months from launch, but precisely six months and 240 seconds more of time from launch on Earth to landing on Mars. But observationally, if such means is included with the robotic traveler, the "means" would have to do about that 0 - 240 seconds -- that 240 second [absolute minimum] difference between the real Mars the traveler travels to and the Mars observed from the surface of the Earth -- during its precisionally known precise six months of travel from surface of Earth to surface of Mars. Of course at launch the difference is a lot greater than 240 seconds, but landing takes place when in time Mars is 240 light seconds from Earth. The robotic traveler has to do something about that "lot greater than 240 seconds" to 240 seconds difference in the observed Mars from Earth and the real Mars landed upon. The Einstein-like scientist who puts himself, or herself, in the place of the robotic traveler, and any other traveler, has to do something about that [negative number to zero] observation-wise, time-wise, physics-wise, mathematics-wise, if scientists are to be believed when they say they try for scientific accuracy, including mathematical accuracy. When they say they are going for picturing -- and presenting it to the rest of us who pay their way, as well as to our children in education -- reality. That catch up in time, or speed up in time, concerning a 240-plus second difference in time between virtuality and reality is utterly insignificant within a span of travel time of six months, but when cosmological physicists start talking four, ten, a thousand, light years (0 - 4 years, 0 - 10 years, 0 - 1000 years) that catch up time -- observationally -- to the reality, that speed up in time -- observationally -- to get even in time with the reality (so to arrive at all at the reality), becomes significant in the extreme of significance. The physicist has to place the traveler, relative to the traveler's destination, somewhere negative in time relative to his destination starting out. The physicist is not doing that; has never done that. Which is why there remains a "twins paradox," a supposition of "faster than light travel," and the possibility remaining in physicists' minds (such as Steven Weinberg's mind, and even Stephen Hawking's mind) that travel back in time to change history, a violation of causality, can't be ruled out. I've ruled all these aboves things out, definitively. That light time distances mean a negative number concerning time to travelers, starting them out behind or negative in time to their destinations, renders the "twins paradox," a supposition of "faster than light travel," and "travel back in time to change history" (thus violating causality), impossible and thus meaningless. I've pictured for all to see how it really works. But what physicist today wants anything to do with reality? They are utter liars when they talk about seeking scientifically accurate picturing of 'c', "time" and "travel." There is a lot of things about cosmology and cosmological physics that will have to remain in the realm of conjecture, but the whats concerning 'c', "time" and "travel" are very definitely not among them. It is the one area I can pin down...nail down...acutely. The one area in which I'm ready, willing and able to logically slug it out with anyone with even half a brain to see who tries to take me on concerning it. GLB |

Travel anywhere outside Earth's atmosphere (and on or very close to the surfaces of other planets) is and will continue to be called 'space travel' or 'space flight.' If people are uncomfortable with the redefinition of Pluto, they'll *never* accept re-definitions of the concept of 'space.' (I recently read Brian Aldiss's 'White Mars,' and one of the irritating things about it, was calling it travel through the 'matrix.' I never understood why.) It'll be a while before we do it fast enough for relativistic effects to become signifigant (would that we could), and that's the only occasion to start thinking about time dilation effects. And just as traditionally, most of us have a somewhat different notion of what 'time travel' means. -- Frank You know what to remove to reply...

NASA engineers would have to observe the landing on Mars as having to have taken, not precisely six months from launch, but precisely six months and 240 seconds more of time from launch on Earth to landing on Mars. But observationally, if such means is included with the robotic traveler, the "means" would have to do about that 0 - 240 seconds -- that 240 second [absolute minimum] difference between the real Mars the traveler travels to and the Mars observed from the surface of the Earth -- during its precisionally known precise six months of travel from surface of Earth to surface of Mars. Of course at launch the difference is a lot greater than 240 seconds, but landing takes place when in time Mars is 240 light seconds from Earth. The robotic traveler has to do something about that "lot greater than 240 seconds" to 240 seconds difference in the observed Mars from Earth and the real Mars landed upon. The Einstein-like scientist who puts himself, or herself, in the place of the robotic traveler, and any other traveler, has to do something about that [negative number to zero] observation-wise, time-wise, physics-wise, mathematics-wise, if scientists are to be believed when they say they try for scientific accuracy, including mathematical accuracy. When they say they are going for picturing -- and presenting it to the rest of us who pay their way, as well as to our children in education -- reality. That catch up in time, or speed up in time, concerning a 240-plus second difference in time between virtuality and reality is utterly insignificant within a span of travel time of six months, but when cosmological physicists start talking four, ten, a thousand, light years (0 - 4 years, 0 - 10 years, 0 - 1000 years) that catch up time -- observationally -- to the reality, that speed up in time -- observationally -- to get even in time with the reality (so to arrive at all at the reality), becomes significant in the extreme of significance. The physicist has to place the traveler, relative to the traveler's destination, somewhere negative in time relative to his destination starting out. The physicist is not doing that; has never done that. Which is why there remains a "twins paradox," a supposition of "faster than light travel," and the possibility remaining in physicists' minds (such as Steven Weinberg's mind, and even Stephen Hawking's mind) that travel back in time to change history, a violation of causality, can't be ruled out. I've ruled all these aboves things out, definitively. That light time distances mean a negative number concerning time to travelers, starting them out behind or negative in time to their destinations, renders the "twins paradox," a supposition of "faster than light travel," and "travel back in time to change history" (thus violating causality), impossible and thus meaningless. I've pictured for all to see how it really works. But what physicist today wants anything to do with reality? They are utter liars when they talk about seeking scientifically accurate picturing of 'c', "time" and "travel." There is a lot of things about cosmology and cosmological physics that will have to remain in the realm of conjecture, but the whats concerning 'c', "time" and "travel" are very definitely not among them. It is the one area I can pin down...nail down...acutely. The one area in which I'm ready, willing and able to logically slug it out with anyone with even half a brain to see who tries to take me on concerning it. Where did you get 240 seconds from? Mars is anywhere from 35 million to 154 million miles from the earth, therefore 190 to 830 light seconds from the earth. What is the significance of 240? Perhaps I won't argue the speed of light with you, but I willl discuss Martial orbital mechanics with you if you like. Eric "240" was just arbitrarily chosen as the light-time distance in the scenario. In case you didn't notice it happens to be between "190" and "830" light seconds. Yes, I notice and you are not wrong when using 240 seconds. I just wonder about why it was chosen that's all. No need for nape hairs on your neck to stand up. Basic discussion. Eric I'm stunned, Eric. Therefore you have my apology. You're right, the nape hairs on my neck did stand up, automatically from experience. I'll have to give you this round from my hitting air and over balancing myself -- damnit. GLB |

It Won't Be Space Travel
G. L. Bradford wrote: Too bad we've called it space travel because once are out there no one will be calling it "space travel" anymore. They will be calling it "time travel." The spacefarer's (rather timefarer's) position will always be zero, the coordinate system will always be light time distances to planets and stars, and the numbers will always be negative numbers -- from zero -- for those light time distances to.... in the coordinate system. What a lot of verbiage for nothing more than the revelation that you have misconceptions about which reference frame to use, and what definition of "space traveler" to use. What it amounts to is a semantic version of a temptest in a teapot. |
