Questions About Time Traveling.

[yuki]

I understand the concept, but I hate the example.

Small changes can have huge effects, but a butterfly's wings wouldn't generate enough force to significantly alter or create gusts and tornadoes. If these theories are made by physicists or some bullstuff you'd think they'd consider that and make a better example, like the Washington one.

I don't study weird time traveling theories so I don't know the names, but it makes sense to me that going back in time and doing something wouldn't alter history, as it has already happened.

And time is a man made concept anyway so...

The butterfly isn't literal. It's an example of how time travel works. You touch something in the past and even the smallest thing could set off a chain of events that spiral into a new tangent.

If clothes really did disappear, I would bring a girl.

On topic: Space travel is possible if you can travel to the 4 dimension and some how travel around while being in the fourth dimension.





Do not attempt anything based on this information. it may kill/hurt you.

Do not attempt anything based on this information.

As a general rule I tend not to listen or pay attention to anything drawn in ms paint. So I wouldn't worry about it.

I'll draw up something in Paint.NET that should explain everything.

A teacher explained 4D to me fairly well.

A 2D thing could only move up, down, left, or right. There's no other axis to move along. If they could see a 3D thing move on the 3rd axis, it would seem to be superhuman.

The same goes for us, 3D people, trying to look at 4D concepts.

I hate when people say that time is the 4th dimension.

Time is movement, that's all.

WRONG

WRONG

How so? Did you never play mario games?

[Spation]

WRONG

Wrong. It can move up, down, left and right. It just can't do depth.

[tcxxx572]

Left right forward and back. Not up and down.

[Spation]

Left right forward and back. Not up and down.

Forward and back are depth. 2D shapes move left, right, up and down.

[Falcondude]

Left right forward and back. Not up and down.

I see what you mean. I'm looking at it sideways, and you've got it top-down. Regardless, it's 2 axises.

Holy stuff, does firefox really not know the word highth?

[yuki]

There, that should explain things easily.

It is theoretically impossible to time travel as a third dimensional being. Once you put yourself as a higher dimension being then you will be able to time travel. At the fourth dimension you can learn everything that you know/knew/will know.
5th
seance the past/present/future
6th
actually go in it but without being able to distort the time line to making a new universe / history.

ect.

As you go up in the chain of dimensions you gain more freedoms of movement between the world and it's realities.

EDIT: Yuki, do not put a diagonal line in your timeline splits or it means it took time to travel in time.
