Real Talk: What should the world do about terrorism (CIA, etc.)? [Organized OP]

[mod-man]

black holes and worm holes have always (as far as i know) been the real life theories to quote unquote "time travel"

from what i've read and watched, black holes can make time slow down for those it affects, while time remains the same for those it doesn't. if you were able to live through the entrance and exit of a black hole, (provided you didnt end up in some other possible universe or weren't stretched to oblivion) and where able to travel back to earth, what would have seemed like a couple hours in the black hole to you could have really been 10-50+ years on earth

worm holes i believe are the theory for traveling BACK in time. if i remember correctly the physical example of wormholes is taking a sheet of paper(which represents space time), taking that sheet of paper and bending it in half, and then poking a hole through said paper, so that you've essentially poked a hole through one side of the universe to the other. apparently they're able to bend and poke holes through space time is what im getting at. i want to say their formation is caused by black holes, but i honestly dont know how they're formed. i think black holes energy eventually evaporates and they inevitably explode

100% true, it's a fact that you can travel forwards in time by going very fast but it's a theory that you can go backwards in time by (somehow) going faster than the speed of light

Looking from a completely unscientific standpoint, I think time could be sort-of like a parade.

There's a front and a back, and it's constantly moving forward, but the front and back are still there, just playing again in different spots. Time-travel would be like going from attraction to attraction. And then at some point, when the parade is over, it resets.

time dilation

the faster you go the slower time is for you
(if you were at that speed, everything around you would appear to be aging faster)
(if you were an observer, the person going at that speed would always be going at the same speed no matter how much they accelerate)(which is weird!)(although i'm not sure if this actually makes sense)(and the person would age slower)


except nothing can't go faster than light, probably

i ironicly like mc ride
mostly because I need to figure out if he's high on cocaine 24/7 or not

Travelling forward in time is certainly possible.
But it requires you travelling at speeds approaching the speed of light.

Travelling back in time is not possible. This is perhaps evidenced just through the fact of how many paradoxes there are in the theory of travelling back in time.

I was about to make this exact post.  Oh well, gj fellow Brit.

I'm more of a fan of the split timelines or multiple universes theory. You wouldn't actually be traveling forward or back in time, just hopping into a different timeline and reliving it where conditions are different, and the one others are in remains unaffected. Or, more feasibly (yet still beyond our technology to some level), just simulating said timeline and being able to return at any time. A time dream, if you will.

Paradoxes all rely on this timeline being altered whenever someone does anything in the past, but we have to live through to the invention of the time machine first. The people you meet in the "past" when you hop through a time travel machine won't be younger versions of the people around you: they'll be completely different people. A copy of our current simulation with its simulation time stepped back however much you specify.

i hate when people think that if time travel was possible you could go back and change something. thats not impossible because if you were to go back and change it, it would have been already changed by now because of present and stuff .

you read my mind

go forwards or backwards faster than the speed of light

what if you travel at speeds close to NEGATIVE the speed of light!
