Is Time Travel Possible in 2021
Time travel is a possible idea for human minds because our experience of time is personal but it’s not a reality. The energy of motion in the universe is the source of power and time is just a measurement of that motion. Time is not a property of matter but matter has a feature of time called its rate of frequency, which is a type of motion. If we could time travel in 2021 we need to do this one thing. But first, read the background information.
My Scientific Method
I'm constantly watching where science is moving.
The goal on this site is always to stay out in front of the wave and to share what I'm observing/learning with you, so you can stay in front of the trends, too.
I look at our world from many perspectives. There's the scientific side... Analyzing everything new from Quora’s updates and comparing it with Wikipedia etc.
Then there are the deep dive articles that happen when I investigate new thinking at the keyboard and allow the information to enter the screen as it arrives.
Time Dilation for time Travelling
Time dilation happens when a clock is experiencing more or less force of gravity than an identical reference clock.
A gravitational force acts on a clock’s mechanism to show more or less time than a reference clock.
A clock is a tool that counts seconds at a set speed just like a metronome ticks to keep music at the proper speed.
If the Music plays faster or slower the metronome doesn’t care. If the clock ticks faster or slower the motion of Earth doesn’t care.
Time dilation is when a clock experiences more or less gravity than a reference clock on Earth but the motion of Earth doesn’t change.
If you are following me so far you should realize that time dilation doesn’t have any power over the motion we are experiencing.
Time dilation is only a change of the clock’s mechanism when exposed to a strong force of gravity.
A clock or any tool used for measuring time will change its rate of ticking when it’s in a different gravitational force from the reference clock on Earth.
A perfect example is the GPS system. Because of the different environments, the satellite clocks show time moving faster than on Earth.
The GPS system has 24 satellites orbiting Earth, and time dilation adjustments are performed daily to compensate for the time difference from the clocks on Earth.
The motion of acceleration causes the satellite time to go slower by 7 microseconds daily, and due to the smaller gravitational force in space, the satellite time goes faster by 45 microseconds.
Therefore each satellite's time is adjusted to go slower by 38 microseconds daily for each satellite.
We can’t use time dilation to time travel, continue to the next method.
Time Travel and Frequencies
The frequency of atoms in a clock (cesium-133) can change when any clock is subject to extra speed or a change in the force of gravity.
The change of frequency in a clock’s atoms only changes the clock’s “time” but not the motion of a satellite or the motion of Earth.
The environment on Earth gives us our meaning of time because of the mass, gravity and speed of Earth that combine into a single force of motion that we measure as “time.”
When a person is on top of a mountain, his environment will show a slightly faster “time.”
If a spaceship experiences a force of gravity so strong that it almost stops the ship’s atomic clock’s frequency, then there are other side effects of gravitational force.
We haven’t experienced intense gravitational G-forces to know the effects of substantial time dilation.
But, we have seen the impact on the faces of astronauts as they blast-off into the atmosphere.
I suspect that if the spaceship captain travels at relativistic speeds he will experience a massive amount of force that would slow his body functions and result in his death.
Gravity is one of the reasons we can’t travel near the speed of light and why time travel is impossible.
During time dilation the Earth isn’t getting older or a GPS satellite isn’t moving faster. The clock is not getting older or younger but its ticking rate has changed.
Einstein and Minkowski came up with Spacetime as a geometrical way to show time and space on a graph.
Spacetime is a mathematical construct that doesn’t affect the timeline of the universe or the motion of our planet.
Is Time Travel Possible
Think about time travel like this. There is an energy of motion that allows physical objects to move and the best example is the motion of our planet.
Time is a measurement of that motion but time is not the motion or the energy of motion.
Humans have invented clocks to measure this motion accurately and calendars to keep track of the flow of this motion.
The arrow of motion only goes forward like the flow of water in a river. And the motion of light only moves forward so each passing moment is never the same.
The past doesn’t exist anymore and the direction of this motion always moves forward.
It’s impossible to travel to the past moment of motion that doesn’t exist or to the future moment which doesn’t exist.
But if you use your imagination you aren’t bound by physical reality so let’s go ahead and examine how to time travel in your imagination.
The Arrow of Time-Travel
Many people believe in time travel because of the science fiction movies that make it seem as real as life.
Time is a way to keep track of our daily events or to prepare us for a future event. The past is history, the future is a mystery and the present is a gift.
The measure of time is a human invention based on the motion of the Earth so in that regard, it is only valid using the clock system on Earth.
The human invention of time is a motion measuring system using the number system invented on Earth.
We have a difficult time (pun intended) to realize the two aspects of time.
One side of the coin is the measure of a clock’s ticking and the other side is the motion that is being measured. What’s more real, the ticking clock or the motion rotating the Earth?
The speed of light is invariant and time is used in the speed of light (cycles per second), so how can time change?
The motion (speed of light) is always the same. We never see light stop or move backward. A clock will slow down and even stop its time but it never moves backwards since motion only moves forward.
The real power is in the motion of particles such as photons and electrons and they seem to be travelling forward with the arrow of motion.
The confusion that exists is that people think time governs motion but it's the other way around, motion governs time.
The arrow of motion only goes forward and therefore time travel is impossible except in the forward direction.
The past moment is beginning now, the present moment is happening now and the future moment is starting now, and again, and again. Feels like time is travelling?
How Einstein Made a Time Machine
Einstein said if you travel at relativistic speeds time will slow down and at the speed of light time will stop.
The theory is if your twin stays on Earth and you travel on a fast spaceship and accelerate up to the speed of light your time will slow down.
When you return to Earth you will be much younger than your twin who stayed at home.
This is known as time dilation and that this time difference can be used to make you younger than the twin you left behind.
Sorry, Einstein but it’s not true. That’s a bunch of BS that Einstein postulated.
Yes, the time on your spaceship slows down but your spaceship doesn't travel in time or in slow-motion.
Time is only the measurement on a clock and in a field of gravity the clock slows down. Your mass and the force of gravity are the real powers that will affect your motion.
We don’t know the effect of time dilation on biological things but I suspect it could be dangerous to your health.
Einstein said that during relativistic speeds your mass increases and your biological system will slow down.
Time and motion are separate things. Time is the measurement of motion but it’s not the motion. Things move and vibrate without using our earth time.
However, we use the motion of the earth and convert that motion into time. The time it takes for the earth to rotate isn’t the force that moves the Earth.
Time and motion are separate things. The motion is real and time is only a measurement of the motion.
We have learned to relate the clock’s time as something that’s real to us.
But time relates to the motion of the universe. There is only one timeline in the universe, and it moves constantly forward.
However, we feel like we have our personal timeline and that we could travel to our past.
Yes, that’s what you do in your thoughts and dreams but not in real life.
You can’t separate your timeline from the universe’s timeline.
What that means is that you have to accept the fact that you can’t time travel because you can’t leave the motion of the universe.
The 3 dimensions of time hold us here. The past is becoming now, the present is happening now and the future is starting now. This is the timeline we live with so enjoy your gift of the present now-time.
News Flash, Time Travel Method That Works
Nikola Tesla’s Tower of Power.
The only way to time travel is into the future but are you willing to do this thing, and at what cost?
A time machine will separate all your atoms and cells and then send those particles on a beam of light to a receiving destination that puts the cells back together.
What I just described is the transporter that is used in the science fiction movie Star Trek.
Another system is called teleportation that is talked about in metaphysical articles where people could travel from one location on Earth to another location.
If a quantum teleportation device sends an encrypted file of an object on a beam of light to a faraway planet then it could be like time travel.
Maybe it works for an object but maybe not for a physical body? Keep dreaming about impossible missions because they say if you can dream it you can do it.
Thank you for your time here and I wish we could spend more time together.
