Ever read "The Billiard Ball" by Isaac Asimov? A great short story that illustrates what you mentioned about space/time.
The reason you don't notice that you have moved thousands of miles is because you are observing the universe from your own inertial field. In fact, there is no point in the universe which one can say is static, except the place you are observing it from, or some other arbitrary point which you might choose. You might just as well say that you are not moving, while universe is moving around you, as to say you are moving through the universe.
Agreed.
This physicist may have done no more than determine He has arranged for multiple realities that a select few can experience.
Why would they come back here? They would go to a time when there was no mass communications to study the places and people, like Ancient Rome or Greece...................
But would the T. rex remember Joe?
Yes, I have read it many times...One of my faves.................................
I remember reading about that in the future..
Niven’s Law:
If the universe of discourse permits the possibility of time travel and of changing the past, then no time machine will be invented in that universe.
Simply, if time travel that could change the past was possible, then time travel would be invented and would keep changing the past until a universe came to be where time travel will not be invented. Therefore time travel, if possible, will not be invented our universe because the above would already have occurred.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
T. rex would not be interested. Old meat is tough
I knew that already.
Not true
If your description were accurate we wokk UK LS already be frozen in deep space
I would postulate that time is in constant motion in a direction. To travel with time (what we are currently doing) requires no additional effort as we are being “carried” by time. To travel either forward or backward, one would need to move outside of time.
John Titor on YouTube claimed to have been a time traveler from 2036
He said the device was powered by 2 tiny black holes created at CERN.
The time travel was created by injecting electrons that would drag you through time.
He had a picture of the device, and a very military-looking operators manual. If it was a hoax it was an extremely well designed hoax.
I can’t get enough of it.
I travel through time, all the time.
October 1, 2020, 10:44, soon to be 10:45, and continuing...
Nano second by nano second.
Not possible. But I guess string hypothesis gets old sometimes.
Yeah, a couple of us had a good laugh over this next week.
Why would I want to travel into the past? To watch love ones die again? To watch loved one suffer from disease? To experience the love that recall to this day—as clearly as I felt it then? But miss the person with who I shared it?
No thanks. My mind tortures me with that every night.
My future is relatively short. And while I am in fine shape today...the good days coming are outweighed by the bad days that are inevitable.
The ultimate good days will last forever—so there is time to wait for them.
