Only some physicists will tell you that you have to be a physicist to look beyond the veil :-) Keep gazing, FRiend!

That sounds like an intro to a Twilight Zone episode...

"You are watching a tape backwards. You see the end first. You can even watch the tape in 10x speed. Or, better yet, view the entire tape at once as a series of still photos and sounds on a single panel. The people on the tape cannot do this. Each following moment is a surprise to them right up to the end, but not to you. Because you are outside the tape. You are the author or the audience. You are not limited by five senses to experience only what is revealed moment by moment. You have a different point of references and are capable of vastly greater senses. While watching the tape, you are not restricted by the artificial construct we call "time". You do not have to "remember" anything. The word has no meaning to you as you can experience what those on the tape consider a memory as it happened at any point you wish."

“You are watching a tape backwards.”

Send regrets to so_real as you won’t be attending his “Movie Night Party.”

Yes, and our relativistic mass would approach infinity as we accelerated towards c as well. Since force=mass * acceleration, the amount of force required to further accelerate a mass that is approaching infinity would also approach infinity, which means you would require infinite energy to achieve that force.

Thus, no massive object can be accelerated to the speed of light, unless you somehow had an infinite energy source.

How about localization? Maybe there is a way to create an artificial universe in which all of its mass is contained within.

What will be the charge for 'carry on'?

Nothing because you’ll have a tartus that can fit into your pocket.

The problem with this esteemed professor is that he is myopic. He needs a new set of glasses because the universe looks nothing like he assumes it to be. It really doesn’t.

Time travel is possible as there is a variable missing from Einstein’s equation.

Time is not a function of the speed of light, but is a function of the frequency of consciousness divided by the spped of light.

Consciousness is the most powerful variable in the equation as it is the source of all energy and mass.

Is the term “infinite mass” suppose to mean anything?

Time travel forward is easy. As the article mentions, we all do it continuously.

You do not need exotic infinite mass to move forward in time.

For forward time travel, we only need to stop our perception of forward travel while we are doing it, and stop, or slow the chemical processes of aging while it is happening.

This is essentially what happens with the Rip Van Winkle legend, and all speculations of suspended animation.

There is no physical law that prevents suspended animation from being achieved. It is essentially a difficult problem in chemical and biological engineering. We do it for short periods with cooling the body while performing some operations.

The hard part of time travel is traveling backward in time. That is a very difficult, maybe impossible, problem.

One would have to change the entire universe, from its present volume to its past, and future volumes.

It won’t happen any time soon.
