Thread: Slowing Down Time

Would be interesting...imagine existing before your grandparents...before the genetic material necessary to create you existed.


But what about the whole impossibility to create/destroy mass.

Isn't moving mass into the past destroying the mass in that demension sort of?

not to mention the addition of that mass to our prexisting world...

I know i'm not wording it right...but I read somewhere that if you were to remove mass from the universe it would implode or something like that...it was written to explain why if other "demensions" in the sense of other universes existed then it would be impossible to go into them, or even perceive them in any sense.

I'm listening to radio show with Professor of Physics at the Univ. of Conn., Dr. Ron Mallett, and he's building a time machine.

He says going near a black hole slow down time for you, therefore gravity affects time. Light has gravity, therefore light can affect time. So by sending a beam of light in a cricle (actually a square, by reflecting it) it distorts time and space in the middle. Sounds easy enough, where's that laser pointer? He's not really using crude mirrors by the way.

But you could only go back as far as the first time the machine was turned on, like in the movie Primer. Something like the circling light make a slinky like coil you can follow back in time, or to a future date where the machine is still running.

Can't find a link to the one I'm listening too, but he seems to have a lot of videos on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...&search=Search

I don't think it will work. I only think you can freeze time to get to a destination, aka teleporting somehow. But if this guy actually creates a machine to go back in time, that would be super trippy. Even if it's only as far back as the first time the machine was turned on. Just don't see how it would work...
