Guest Guest Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Hi: I read about a theoretical time machine experiment by Yakir Aharonov in which a massive balloon that can be instantaneously inflated or deflated can be used to travel through time somehow by altering the worldline of a person inside of it. The balloon can supposedly allow a person inside to travel either forward OR backward in time. Although I can see how such a device might be used to alter one?s time passage into the future by either speeding up or slowing down a person?s passage of time into the future, I don?t see how altering the gravitational density of such an object could allow one to travel backwards in time. Any help clarifying all this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
