thoughts on time travel
if you were to send a atom back in time one second. On arriving it would
displace itself as both atoms could not occupy the same space. One second later when the time travel was to take place the atom would not be in the right place and could not be sent back in time. The further back in time the greater the disturbance. Butterfly wings flap and cause storms. Time is not a dimension we can travel in ! postman |

Since my future self never appeared I think it's safe to assume I'll never travel back in time. ;-) |

The past and future are just constructs from our minds, a variable(T) needed for the formulas, and not part of the Now. Time-travel is not possible because travel, an action, cannot take place in the non-Now. Simple, but not exciting, so ignored. Sorry, all you time-travel buffs. What's the next best thing? Thank God for the camera. Wow! There's Aunt Mable in college! Cactus88 |

An actual projection through the time/space continuum of a living being would necessarily involve a proportionate celestial physical displacement. For example, assume (by some miraculous method quite beyond your present ability to comprehend) that you found yourself actually projected some 2000 years into the past at a specific location upon earth. The problem in the first instance is that planet earth does not presently occupy the same physical location in the dynamic celestial scheme of space that it occupied some 2000 years ago. The second problem would involve locating the actual geographic location of your target destination upon earth. Actual "time travel" necessarily involves relocation across vast distances of both time AND space. |
