KerrTexas Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Anyone ever believe they come up with a great possible method of time traveling, then formulate an instant see-if-it works test ? To expand on the question: Sometimes if I think of a "really good" possible time traveling method, I make a note of the date and try remember to make sure I travel back to that date and leave myself a message on the Fireplace mantel ( for example ). Then, at the predetermined time, go to the Fireplace mantel and look to see if there indeed is a message there. Just curious if anyone else has done this ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not done this, but now I'm curious about all these methods you've been thinking up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seivtcho Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 At this moment I know of only one possible way for time traveling, that can be available soon, and it is to the future - one way only. It is the cryonics - freezing you in the present, and thawing you after 1000 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerrTexas Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 I've not done this, but now I'm curious about all these methods you've been thinking up! Eh, um, well, unfortunately, that's part the Instant See-If-It Works Time Travel test, too. Since I haven't found any messages left by my future self, my guess is that I haven't thought of a "really" really good possible time traveling method. Yet.

I will admit that I told myself I'd put a note underneath my jewelry box. (I have a time travel notebook with theories). Let me take a look... Nope, no note.

It is the cryonics - freezing you in the present, and thawing you after 1000 years. What about going out into space? The further away you are from the central field of gravity, the more you are thrust through time. One Russian astronaut (or cosmonaut, rather) was sent a fraction into the future by existing in Earth's orbit. I think it was Sergei Avdeyev.

worldmachine Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 At this moment I know of only one possible way for time traveling, that can be available soon, and it is to the future - one way only. It is the cryonics - freezing you in the present, and thawing you after 1000 years. Would someone who has been frozen by cryonics qualify as a time traveller? Although they will have died at one point in time and been brought back to life maybe 1000 years later their physical body would have still existed throughout this period and within the bounds of the laws of time. They would not have gone through the various dimensions in time and space that someone in a time machine for example would have. Cryonics is still a very distant concept as the process has many destructive effects on the body which must be overcome, but if it were to become reality it would be like time travel but not in the real sense, not as time travel is imagined.

Withe the other existing methods you will not be able to go much further in time - only fractions of seconds. Once your body gets in extremely low temperatures, all biochemical processes stop, and it can stay for thousands of years before thawed back.

Each machine, that allows you to go further or back in time is a time machine, no matter how it works. It were the physicists, who tried to apply quantum ways to time travel. But time trvelling is not necessary to be through various dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It were the physicists, who tried to apply quantum ways to time travel. But time trvelling is not necessary to be through various dimensions. I take your point. On that basis then a person being frozen by cryonics would be inside some kind of machine therefore in a time machine and travelling through time. However they would be travelling at exactly the same speed as every living person on the planet, not at the ultra fast speeds to travel significantly in time and of course they are only moving forwards in time. Can we consider our bodies to be time machines based on your theory? The body is a kind of machine that supports human life and allows us to move forward in time, so we are all time travellers just not to the degree we need to make science fiction a reality.

seivtcho Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 We time travel one moment in a time. Second by second into the future. But our machine in this case is not our body, but the universe itself. By the way, if you consider cryopreservation a time travel, you may like this: http://timetravel.free-forum.net/the-first-time-travellers-vt7.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aparsons Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 This reminds me a lot of an experiment Stephen Hawking did back in 2009, where he sent out a message calling time travelers to meet in this exact location and time. Much to Hawking's dismay, no time travelers showed up. To some people, this discredits the notion of time travel, not for me. Many things could have taken place that could have caused the message to become lost, or certain events in the future could have an explanation as to why time travelers didn't go to that event. I think that once invented, time travel will be kept a secret, or at least not available to the general public. It is entirely possible that it would be too big of a risk for timer travelers to attend such a high profile event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really hope you get a note soon. I am being totally serious, I would hope you would come back and tell us. I can't try it myself because I am definitely not the person who will come up with the answer. I'm that person who is there to cheer other people on while they try to come up with good ideas.

I have a notebook of time travel ideas, but I don't know enough about physics, so I'll just leave it to the geniuses. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
