How does Stephan Hawking feel about time-travel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Stephen Hawking was skeptical about the possibility of time travel. Although he found the idea intriguing, he believed that time travel to the past was likely impossible due to the lack of evidence and logical paradoxes it would entail. However, he considered the notion of traveling to the future as theoretically feasible through concepts like wormholes and time dilation.

Did Nazi Germany develop Time Travel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In 1938 Franz Von Hoffer developed Time Travel by accident. Using over a million volts of electricity in a Tri-Polar energy field he sent many Concentration victims back in Time more than 20,000 years. Heinrich Himmler was impressed. Anna Kreisling proposed equiping aircraft that could fly through time for recon missions. Adolf Hitler gave Anna Kreisling the approval to fly through time to see if Germany would emerge victorious over France in the secret military operation called CASE WHITE. Anna flew through time and learned that Germany would win its war against France! She landed at Templehoff airfield in 1939 and presented this vital information on Hitler's 50th birthday!!!

Please note that there is no compelling evidence that the previous statement is true. Unless the individual can offer evidence of these events as truth, it should be assumed the he/she is just another crazy conspiracy theorist. Show me proof.

Is Time Travel Real?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

YES the is a way it is a Worm hole. WORM HOLES are rips in the time and space continuum and we could walk through them, if we had the power of a exploding star. So in other words yes if we had a lot of power we could time travel.
So far, nobody has traveled in time. It is doubtful whether anybody ever will.Except one.Who says that he time traveled 8 times and he was at Abraham Lincoln's speech.He's name is Andrew Basiago.We still don't know if it is true

Can you time travel to the past?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

-with a time machine. cause its fun. i like my answer. it's short, simple, and to the point. :) P.S. sry science guy, i only like bill nye!!!!

-I'd like to start off by saying that time travel has always been my life's work. I am a very serious scientist in the field and reject many modern t

theories as pure science fiction.

"How do you travel through time and why?"

Theretically, that's just it. You travel through time bytraveling through time. Now, try to understand that there is a serious problem with the way most scientists think about time travel, or that it is a controllable phenomenon. There are an unimaginable amount of concepts involved which, if my life's work is correct, should include these:

The fact that it actually would take physical time totravel through time. We live in a four dimensional world. Traveling through time implies bending the strings which make up our very reality to transport into a whole nother dimension, from where we may jump back into our universe at a different dimensional angle, that angle inflicting upon time. From any other angle, we would be teleporting through space, which, according to my theory, is far more unlikely than traveling through time. However, this phenomenon taking place would take several years, even if one were traveling at 100%+11 the speed of light {this represnting the speed of light (+,x) 11, as one would have to traverse counterclockwise through all 11 dimensions of space-time-x to return back to their original physical space}, it would take an impractical amount of time for the return, thus wholly defeating the purpose of space-time travel. This might be a problem, since very few scientists are even remotey aware of this and do not pre-determine the amount of time it would take to travel through all these dimensions (an inconceivable 2.645396 years, although, believe it or not, this shouldn't be a problem. I will not disclose my solution for this problem for very serious reasons).

Sorry that last one was so long, but please bare with me, here.There is also another serious problem with most scientists theories of time travel: They are under the impression that matter can be destroyed, or created. Understand this: Matter cannotbe destroyed or created under any circumstances. Why is this important to time travel? Bare with me as I try to explain through scenario. If one was to travel, say, a day back in time, they would, in affect, be distorting space time, since all the matter that compses them, is technically, brand new matter from a whole nother dimension. That's right, the universe, which has basically been recycling the same exact matter since its conception, is now, all of a sudden, disrupted by a new source of matter. You can forget about the speed of light, the whole universe would be destroyed instantly through this unprecedented chaos. In one instance, regardless of any particles distance from this new source, everything would be destroyed forever, reality torn to shreds. That mean our earth would be destroyed at, litrally, the exact same time as a planet on the absolute other side of the universe. I am working on a solution to travel back in time by artificial means, without destroying the universe forever (a spot of dry humor, there)

This much I can disclose to the public as a sort of solution: If you can trade the exact amount of mass, 2gram for 2gram, particle for particle between all 11 space-time-x dimensions before coming back to your universe within your dimension (yes, my theory also proves without a shadow of a doubt, that our universe is contained inside of a whole dimension of four-dimensional universes), you may be able to trael without disrupting this balance even for the slightest point in time, and thus, achieve perfect time travel.

There are many other flaws with the modern science communitie's views in time travel that I have uncovered over my life's work, but I will try to crack thee codes and more. Look out for my book/autobiography, American Time Machines: Deadlier Than Skipping Stones, next summer. It will have many of my ideas, but the rest of them wil be revealed by the time I perfct many thesis.

-Wow I almost left only half-answering your "how" question. The odds of naturally traveling through time are so unlikely, that it will, that's right, not might, or even "most likely" will, but will never happen in the entire lifespan of our dimension, according to my work. However, this does not mean that it is impossible to travel through time naturally, though this is not myexpertise

-An artificial time travel experience would require energy and technology not currently available to humanity. THis includes something like a star, which would have to be much smaller, and much more powerful, as well as something like a theoretical wormhole, which has not yet been proven to exist. Most importantly, the element fluorine is required for very complex reasons which will be fully revealed in my book.

  • As for the why? Why not?

u are asking why wood a person want to go back in time? maybe the want to change something they did in the post or relive a moment. like im sure u wood like to relive at least one day just to say yes instead or no or something else.

if you could go back in time wood u love to c wat it was like when rome was at its greatest etcSorry Mr. Scientist, but time travel acording to Mwaaa is imposible and impracticle.

-If it where (Einstein, being the father of Science) says this:(although it sounds a bit far fetched and plain out 'weird' this Universe is constantly doubling into new universes every single millisecond, meaning that every new universe is therefore NEW and there for on the day of initial coming into creation. Each Universe (says Einstein) is identical and their occurances are identical, and everything that happens in one Universe will happen in the other (but they cannot effect each other).

That's where Time Travel comes into play... Einstein say the Universe was created (not saying how) and a millisecond later a new Universe was born, 1 millisecond behind the first. Now, he doesn't say weather every universe splits every millisecond, he just this one. So, if we want to get ten millisecond into the past, we have to go to Universe number ten. In that sense, we cannot go to the future because this universe is the furthest yet. The future (says I) doesn't exist. Also, this removes the chances of time paradoxes (the act of changing the present by doing something in the past and all). If you somehow enter a different Universe an kill your dad before you were born, THAT Universe's future is changed and different from this one's.

However Einstein no sense in his explanation of how to get to an alternate or parallel Universe (something about copying every detail of yourself and this disintegrating and then passing through a foam cube or something and being re created as a replication of your in a different Universe.

-I think that's VERY weird and I don't believe it, but I think everyone has a right to decide for himself.

Another AnswerSome theories, most notably special and general relativity, suggest that suitable geometries of spacetime, or specific types of motion in space, might allow time travel into the past and future if these geometries or motions are possible. In technical papers, physicists generally avoid the commonplace language of "moving" or "traveling" through time ('movement' normally refers only to a change in spatial position as the time coordinate is varied), and instead discuss the possibility of closed timelike curves, which are worldlines that form closed loops in spacetime, allowing objects to return to their own past. There are known to be solutions to the equations of general relativity that describe spacetimes which contain closed timelike curves (such as Godel spacetime), but the physical plausibility of these solutions is uncertain.

Physicists take for granted that if one were to move away from the Earth at relativistic velocities and return, more time would have passed on Earth than for the traveler, so in this sense it is accepted that relativity allows "travel into the future" (although according to relativity there is no single objective answer to how much time has 'really' passed between the departure and the return). On the other hand, many in the scientific community believe that backwards time travel is highly unlikely. Any theory which would allow time travel would require that problems of causality be resolved. The classic example of a problem involving causality is the "grandfather paradox": what if one were to go back in time and kill one's own grandfather before one's father was conceived? But some scientists believe that paradoxes can be avoided, either by appealing to the Novikov self-consistency principle or to the notion of branching parallel universes.

Is it posssible to time travel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In theory yes. Traveling to the past may never be possible, but traveling to the future can be accomplished by accelerating to relativistic speeds. Recall E-mc2. As you approach the speed of light, time slows down and mass increases. Time travels slower for you, the passenger than it does for the outside world. You can emergy 100 years in the future while only spending days aboard your spacecraft. This happens on a tiny, tiny immeasureable scale every time you get on an airplane!

Should people be allowed to time travel if it were possible?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, that depends on the theoretical time travel. If it were possible, would you have the power to change something and ruin the future that we already have? If so, then yes, it should probably be restricted. But if the theoretical time travel is the self-correcting kind, or if it prevents paradoxes, etc., as it does in some fictional versions of time travel, then it could be allowed. In either case, in all fictional accounts, it still needs to be regulated somehow to prevent people getting lost or people taking advantage... so, since we're already dreaming, let's add in some time cops, or even better, Time Lords. :)

Time travel has never been invented as such.

When you run, you're technically time travelling. If you put a clock at the station and on a train perfectly the same, the clocks will be different when the train reaches it's destination. This difference isn't really measurable but we know that it's there.

Why is it impossible to travel to the past?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Time travel has some problems, but there are some physicists that think it might be possible.

Potential problems:

1) Father Paradox: If you went back in time and killed your father before you were conceived... what then?

2) Since you WERE in the past, would going back merely mean you would be where you WERE? Or would there be two of you in the past?

Some people propose there are an infinite number of "Time Lines" or alternate realities. Others say that the problems that exist with the idea show the idea is impossible.

Etc.

A.1] Perhaps if it IS possible then might there not be a "law" of some kind that prohibits the traveler from performing any direct act which would affect the current self.

A.2] I believe the question answers itself. But, if you were in the past then you would be visiting yourself (in the past) since it is your future self traveling back to see a past self consequently you would be unable to visit yourself before you were born, duh.

Similarly, should you be traveling into the future it would be a past self visiting a future self, but herein lies the possibility that the future self might not be a certainty due to the number of possible paths you might take. Example: If you visited yourself 1 hour in the future then the probability of that actually being your self might be 99.99%. Whereas visiting your future self 1 year in future might only represent a 75% probability of you actually being like that person due to the increasing number of decisions you might make, possibly exponentially. Which might mean that at some point, visiting yourself in the future would be useless as that future might never come about, or you may not even recognize yourself. But then again you should also realize that at some point in the future it would impossible for you to visit yourself in the past because you have already died. Again, duh.

It would be important to realize that at some point you are not actually visiting yourself, but a descendant representing your self, i.e. a son of a son of a son.

I'll stop here because thinking about the possibilities and probabilities, and the possible probabilities or the probable possibilities is giving me one heck of a headache. . . . whew!!

How can I time travel?

Asked by 76422

According to relativity theory, time stops for a particle when the speed of that particle reaches the speed of light in a vacuum. However, the theory of relativity also states that it is impossible for an object with nonzero mass to ever reach the speed of light in a vacuum.

In other words: you can't, except in a few trivial instances such as photons, which are massless and already travel at the speed of light in a vacuum (er... at least, they do when they're in a vacuum).

You may be asking about a video game, in which case it would help to know which one you're talking about. Video game physics are often quite different from real physics.
