How would you go forward in time?

Question

As soon as we can travel faster than the speed of light we shall be able to go back in time - once we get the hang of it, it will be probably quite easy !. But how would we get back to the future without a suitably equipped De Laurean ? Would we have to go into suspended animation and wait like everyone else ? It's no good going faster, izzit ? And what speed are we going at now ? Can we go any slower, and will I ever be clever enough to be able to understand Prof. Hawkin, or is he really making it up as he goes along ?

Answer 1

Going forward in time is easy: all you have to do is wait!

Answer 2

We will never go quicker than the speed of light!! E=MCsq suggests that photons travel at 299 milli9on metres per second because they have no mass! To travel quicker then that you will need infinite mass!



However, the quicker you travel, the more mass you adopt and the slower times becomes. This is not just made up by Hawking, it's called special relativity.

At cern the neutrinos that travelled 'quicker' than the speed of a photon is still being scrutinized by OPERA. We feel they travelled on something called a brane which stimulates particles and transcends them into the forth dimension. Won't go writing off albert just yet :) Also, when a neutrino attaches itself to a lepton or flavor such as a muon it actually ''borrows' energy which returns to the quantum form once discarded. Fact is Ns weigh MvE-24 so they have a mass.

Hey there!

According to Einstein, going forward in time faster than the usual rate is impossible. Actually, though, he also says, the slower u move, the faster forward u go in time relative to you. A bit like, if u slow down, but don't notice, things around u will happen faster, or appear to do so from ur point of view. Creating a time machine to go into the future would mean u needed to hold people in stasis, then wake them up later, which is sort of cheating. This happens around black holes, where objects are held in such strong gravity, time ceases to move relatively for them. This is called time dilation.



But no, we can't technically travel forward in time. Think of it like this: if going faster than infinite speed (speed of light) makes us go back in time, then to go forward, we would need to achieve a speed below 0 (negative infinity to be precise).



Hope I've helped a bit, and one final thing: those neutrinos haven't been proven yet, so don't make a judgement based on them

:-)

Answer 4

once the time machine or what ever you use you can only go forwards and back from when it was built i think who wants to go back you can't change whats hapened already or you may not be here

Answer 5

cross Time Zones

Answer 6

Sleep!

Answer 7

Carry on your daily routine.

Answer 8

i don't know and don't give a sh*t
