~Time Travel~

[Dabs]

If time travel were possible, would you be interested in participating??
And if so, where would to like to travel to??
Into the future or into the past??

Maybe time travel is already possible, and we just haven't been made aware of it yet (the public).
Think of what would happen if someone did the time travel option, and didn't want to come back, how much of a chaos would be left here, in this time era, to fill the void in which that person left??

Me, for sure, send my ass to the Victorian ages, late 1890's to early 1900's. The rich Victorians, not the poor. I want to wear the lavish gowns with the large bustier and carry the parasol and wear lace gloves and big billowy hats

I'd go back to when I was 19. Repeatedly. As far as an era, 1913. Right before they signed the federal reserve act. I'd like to see many things throughout history. Watching the Pyramids being erected, or the birth of Christ. Victorian ages, sure. I love to learn about things, so there are just too many to list. I'll settle for just going back to when I was 19. Repeatedly.

The subject of time travel has always fascinated me. The whole paradox of killing your grandfather makes for mind-blowing reading. If I could be 21 again, that would be nice.

 

[uscitizen]

I time travel all the time. Only in the forward direction though.

Lets just travel back to 2000 when virtually all republicans were sure that Bush was a real conservative and going to fix everything

 

[konradv]

Hate time travel science fiction. It's so full of holes as to be unreadable/unwatchable, IMHO, of course.

 

[sparky]

1492, and with the biggest axe to bury in the skull of that columbus fascist pig....

 

[Grace]

Future. I want to see what earth winds up like.

 

[sparky]

10-22,63', on the grassy knoll, with a gazoo sporting a silencer...

 

[sparky]

8- 9, 74 with Mark Felt held by the throat in from of Dan Rather......

Ditto. There is no consequence and no progression that makes any sense at all when you throw in time travel. If I could though I would go far into the future. Fact is that life always gets better. Don’t believe me? Try living like a pesnat a couple of thousand years ago, bad stuff. As a huge benefit there is always compounding interest too. Though knowing about Google would make for a hell of a stock buy.

Guess I would go back for a few days THEN go to the future

 

[Wonky Pundit]

Time travel into the future is definitely possible, as long as you move through space close enough to the speed of light.

Of course, we still haven't figured out how to accelerate a spaceship to that speed...

 

[G.T.]

Future time travel is 100% possible, backward, who knows probably not.

Oh yeah, I'm with ya there!

October 22nd?

I would travel back to about 1900 and assassinate everyone who wrote the Federal Reserve Act. Then I'd go to the post WWII era (if it happened) and kill all the Bilderberg Group members.

Why wouldn't you kill Hitler?

Hitler and his war machine were financed by international bankers. No Federal Reserve, No worldwide depression, No rise of Socialism, No Hitler.

I have travelled around 20 hours into the future since that post yesterday.

...

The future for me. I'd go for short periods of time until all my kids are raised. I'd probably start with 50 years in the future at first and up it from there until I meet the Morlocks.

 

[Anachronism]

For me it would be medieval Europe. Of course it would be very difficult not to knowingly change things.... "Hey King Haraldr, why don't you land on the South side of the river at Stamford, so you don't have to worry about that nasty little bridge tomorrow morning when Harold Godswain's army shows up."

Though the upper classes of the Victorian Era would be a close second for me as well, Dabs. Though those "bustiers" as you refer to them are actually whale-boned Corsets that girls started wearing by the time they were about 8 or 9 to ensure they maintained that waspish waist; so you might not like them quite as much as you think.

I would goto 1997 and buy tons of candy and stuff i cant get anymore due to the recipes being changed and tasting like crap now!!

Then i would goto 1978 and buy tons of golden grains "MACARONI AND CHEDDER" -- Oh my it was the best!!

Why time travel will remain a sci-fi fantasy: Scientists prove nothing can travel faster than the speed of light
25th July 2011 - For those that while away their days dreaming about travelling into the distant past or future, it is disappointing news.

But scientists claim to have proved that a single photon obeys Einstein's theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light - meaning time travel is impossible. Their findings close a decade-long debate about the speed of a single photon, the fundamental unit of light. Lead researcher Professor Shengwang Du, from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), said: 'The results add to our understanding of how a single photon moves. They also confirm the upper bound on how fast information travels with light. 'By showing that single photons cannot travel faster than the speed of light, our results bring a closure to the debate on the true speed of information carried by a single photon.' Professor Du and his team found that a single photon obeys the traffic law of the universe.

Einstein claimed that the speed of light was the traffic law of the universe - or, simply, that nothing can travel faster than light. The HKUST team is the first to show that optical precursors exist at the single-photon level, and that they are the fastest part of the single-photon wave packet even in a so-called 'superluminal' - or faster than light - medium. Mankind's long-held dream of time travel was given a shot in the arm ten years ago with the discovery of superluminal propagation of optical pulses in some specific medium. But scientists later realised that it is only a visual effect - where the superluminal 'group' velocity of many photons could not be used for transmitting any real information.

Researchers then set their hope on single photons because of the possibility that a single photon may be able to travel faster. Due to a lack of evidence of single photon velocity, this has also been an open debate among physicists. To confront this impasse, Professor Du's team measured the ultimate speed of a single photon with controllable waveforms. Their study confirmed Einstein's theory that an effect cannot occur before its cause. The researchers not only produced single protons but separated the optical precursor - the wave-like propagation at the front of an optical pulse - from the rest of the photon wave packet. To do so, they generated a pair of photons, and then passed one of them through a group of laser-cooled rubidium atoms with an effect called electromagnetically induced transparency.

For the first time, they successfully observed optical precursors of a single photon. The team found that, as the fastest part of a single photon, the precursor wave front always travels at the speed of light in vacuum. The main wave packet of the single photon travels no faster than the speed of light in vacuum in any dispersive medium, and can be delayed up to 500 nanoseconds in a slow light medium. Even in a superluminal medium where the group velocity is faster than the speed of light in vacuum, the main part of the single photon has no possibility to travel faster than its precursor. The study is published in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Permanent time-travel with growing up again or possibility to return to present again?
I'd like to be transferred into the years where I was 15 to 18.
And after that, I would like to be returned in to present.

It was a fantastic time for me, although not perfect. I had some problems in school and family, but I was one of the happiest teenagers to go through that age.
