So i was watching the netflix series called travellers, its a show about time travellers.
Anyways it got me thinking about how time travel works again. The only type of time travel i slightly understand is the light based one. Where if you go to a certain distance away from Earth, say millions of miles, youll be able to see the Earth from how it looked when it was old. Just like how light images move at a certain speed, you would be able to send possible signals if someone had learned how to calculate perfectly the time and place in space to be able to send the signal. I had been discussing different time travel theories with my friend and we argue alot about how it isnt possible to insert yourself into a past image of light even if you went from point A to point B then back to point A faster than the speed of light, you would have lost any time it takes to travel at that speed.
I still disagree with him and think that if you were to do that previous example of travel, youd be able to go back in time depending on how far you went back the light image is slower than you. Idk tho, maybe i should think of other types of time travel.
I used the example to explain how you see those pictures of olden days with people holding smart phones. This type of time travel may be only used to travel backwards in time.
Thereās many different ways to time travel including backwards in time. The standard physics explanation (Iām a lay person) is you cannot go faster than the speed of light because you would have infinite mass. But you can get extremely close. Think of the speed of light as the cosmic speed limit.
Anyways, some people disagree and there are āhacksā or smart aways around it like hyperdrives where you can push space. Space can actually move faster than the speed of light. (Donāt quote me on any of this lol)
But you should look into many worlds theory vs standard QM interpretations like Copenhagen.
Personally, I often get confused between time traveling like if the universe constantly splits off, am I in a new universe or not?
I donāt know. I think it could be possible by now to loop back into the exact same timeline. Iāve heard stories and heard other whistleblowers talk about it. I often consider myself a time travel victim/expert and Iāve done it so much and talked about it so much, people often forget because people have the attention span of a gold fishā¦Plus, it results in insanity sometimes.
Iām well aware of all the time travel stuff including āTravelersā on Netflix. Iāve been doing my own research into the various āleaksā into the media to get us used to the concept.
My problem is consciousness tranfer back into the same timeline from the future. I really have no idea how it works. I probably have ideas and theories though.
I enjoy time travel discussions and other weird stuff. Like I said, I often think I am a real time traveler like Iām stuck in a causal loop or even a time loop.
When I was in psychosis I was convinced I was able to travel in time. It was something to do with a french grammar book I was reading. I canāt explain what I felt, it was like the words were coming off the page and they all had hidden meanings. Was just getting interesting, and then the nurse hit me with haldol! Shame.
the speed of thought is faster than any thing. But if you look at a star in a telescope do you see things from a different time than with the naked eye?
I was looking for this link for awhile. Its pretty neat actually.
I didnt realize being a time traveler was a delusion. So youre very well versed in the ideas of time travel? I mostly learn about it so i can one day write some scifi stuff about time travel and be able to explain how its done instead of just āmagicā.
I do believe time travelers exist tho, just not on a massive scale like the show travelers. Maybe just a select few that work on big cases.
With quantum entangled particles, which have been assumed theoretically to allow information to travel faster than the speed of light, it seems for some reason that itās impossible to actually make the information do that. At least thatās what I read some years ago. The speed of light could be more than just the speed at which light travels, it could be the basic clock at which the universe operates, or something like that. So potentially, any transference of information across space is limited to the speed of light, even when you travel in time. Sort of like the tick speed in video games.
Itās funny you guys believe we could be in a simulation and doesnāt matter but when it comes to anal probing and alien abductions weāre all crazy? How does that work? Delusionals telling other people they are delusional?
