Time Travel Possible!!!!

[Dan2nd]

THE SUN NEVER LIES WHOOO :P


WE could soon be visited by TIME TRAVELLERS — thanks to a £2billion machine able to punch a HOLE in the universe.

The atom-smasher may open up a time tunnel for people from the future to travel back to now.

The particle accelerator, called the Large Hadron Collider, has been designed to explore the origins of the universe by investigating the tiniest components of atoms.

It is due to be switched on in May.

Big Bang boffin ... Dr Volovich

It will accelerate particles to the speed of light — then smash them together to recreate conditions from the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang, which created the universe.

But each particle — a trillionth the size of a mosquito — will create a shockwave distorting time and space around it.

And Russian mathematicians Igor Volovich and Irina Aref’eva say this may tear the fabric of the universe and result in a “wormhole” linking our time with the future.

Phantom
The laws of physics suggest that no one from the future will be able to travel back any further than when the machine was switched on — with 2008 being Year Zero.

Dr Volovich, of the Steklov Mathematical Institute in Moscow, reckons future technology may be advanced enough to send someone back through the time tunnel.

He told the magazine New Scientist: “If a combination of fast-moving particles and phantom energy does create a wormhole, an advanced civilisation could find it in their history books, pinpoint the moment — and take advantage of their technology to pay us a visit.”



And some boffins think it may be possible for people of our time to travel years ahead — like TV Timelord Doctor Who.

The machine is based in a vast underground laboratory at the CERN particle physics centre in Geneva, Switzerland

[Virgin Mary]

Time travel has been possible since like the 1920s when Einstein came up with the theory of relativity.

[Dan2nd]

Yes theoreticly (sp?) but so far we haven't actually done it :P

[kk.]

the only problem is by literally ripping a whole in the universe, we could be doomeed lol

still, i dont hitnk it would be possible because by the time the technology is available, i think well all be dead. not to sound too much of a pessimist

[Virgin Mary]

Yes theoreticly (sp?) but so far we haven't actually done it :P
Well what the person in that article is saying is the theory, they haven't done it yet and have no idea of whether it will actually work.

[Minstrels]

It's quite scary come to think of it because it could all go wrong...

However if it does work then it means we could all have like.. Xbox 9764's, PS8643 or a Nintendo WiiZiiBii... sweet.

or some evil alien could come back and enslave us all :(

[kk.]

no because the evil alien would have already been here! ;) so they know its going to ahppen.
time travels confusing

[Technologic]

You would only be able to go forwards into the future and not return and you wouldnt be able to go into the past. Time travel is possible anyway, if design a rocket and fly at say... 1,000,000 mph for what seems like 1 year to you then return to earth something like 1000 years on earth will have passed as time slows down the faster you go

[Dan2nd]

no because the evil alien would have already been here! ;) so they know its going to ahppen.
time travels confusing

not if it works like back to the future where when you change the past you change the future so the future you came from no longer exists urrg confusing :D

[kk.]

so surely the alien wouldnt exist so hed disappear lol
either way confusing

its extremely unlikely you will ever eb ablke to go 1,000,000 mph

[Technologic]

so surely the alien wouldnt exist so hed disappear lol
either way confusing

its extremely unlikely you will ever eb ablke to go 1,000,000 mph
50 years ago it was thought that it is extremely unlikely we'd have the technology to go into space let alone turn it into a toursist attraction...

[Everlong]

I don't think it will ever be possible, we havn't had any future people come back to our time so that means the future us havnt created a time machine (this makes sence in my head lol)

[Dan2nd]

I don't think it will ever be possible, we havn't had any future people come back to our time so that means the future us havnt created a time machine (this makes sence in my head lol)


but according to the article they won't be able to travel back in time until the machine is switched on so and they'll only be able to travel back as long as it stays on.. May 2008 will be day 0

[Roboevil]

They're going to kill us all.

Well, good bye Habbox.

[kk.]

why is their a babies advert on this page lol

good point though, but still, its a bit fast :P

[lScottl]

why is their a babies advert on this page lol

good point though, but still, its a bit fast :P

We have not been able to make anything that goes the speed of light yet. I think it will FAIL.

[Paulio]

It's impossible to see into the future!!!!!

[efq]

i bet he tests it and it kill us or summet.

Effects sommet with our universe. LOL he kills gravity or our atsmosphere or the magnetic fields...

I bet something bad happens which will kill the earth:)

[N!ck]

It is not possible to make anything with mass travel at the speed of light. They gan get to like 99.9% of it though. I don't believe that travelling backwards in time is possible, but travelling forwards definately is by moveing at extremely high speeds - it has been proven by astronaughts who have travelled a few seconds forward in time over several months in space.

[Everlong]

The article doesn't look convincing at all, and it came from the sun who not so long ago claimied to have proff of life on mars.

[N!ck]

It has been thought for a while that the Hadron Collider may cause strange things to happen. There is even a small possibility it may create a small black hole on Earth. Eek.

[Dan2nd]

There is actully a very good chance there is life on mars in the form of microscopic thinys

[Everlong]

Its possible that if there is water on mars that there might be tiny living organisms but the sun claimed that there was a fully grown creature - about the same size as a human.

[Dan2nd]

Lol I remember that good times... =] I guess we'll see what happens in may ;)

[Everlong]

Lol I remember that good times... =] I guess we'll see what happens in may ;)
All we can do is wait i suppose i just can't see it happening.

[Minstrels]

So some guy could come down and tell me what happens in The Bill in like 1,000,000 years? Get lost, I don't want to know what happens. :(

[Pyroka]

That already exists, but it's known better as Glasgow *grin*

Yeah, he could. Shame. Maybe he'll find out if you get a life or not! I mean, you gotta stop watching the bill lmao. It's FAIL!

haha this is pathetic :|

[lew!]

omg im on holiday then
what if i die on holiday :'(

[Kaine]

I see how Time Travel works.

Say for example you go back in time and impregnate your hot cousin, or your hot cousins mentally handicapped friend.

When you go back to the future, things would have changed, like you'd be married to your hot cousin/hot cousins mentally handicapped friend.

Cool :D

[tdi]

I think seeing a glimpse of the future may be the wrong thing to do. We could see that we, as a community have destroyed the earth due to some factor we don't know yet, we could find out there's no world left, or perhaps a close friend has died as a result of you.

[Kaine]

I'd go back to the past, back before Dec. 5th, 2005, before my girlfriend at the time passed away from brain cancer when she was 18, just to see her one last time before she died and tell her how much I love her.....I never got to say goodbye or i love you because I was gonna go see her on the 5th, the day she died, but I found out she died, so yeh.......

[lew!]

No offence but we didnt need to know why ect.. you could of just said gf, trying to get sympathy?

And you cant go in the past anyway.
I Bet you will have to pay to use it lols.

[Virgin Mary]

You can't go backwards in time, the past has already happened.

[Dan2nd]

The machine isn't a time machine it is supposed to create a worm hole in the universe so people from the future with better technology will be able to come back to us! They are hoping a record will be kept of this machine so in a thousand years or whatever they will know the date the machine is turned on and be able to travel between now and then.. but like I said that's what it's supposed to do it could just blow a fuse or something.. :D

[Nli.]

When the machine is turned on you can't go back before the time it was switched on. (Day 0) but you could go back to the exact moment it was switched on but not before.

The bit that worries me is when they switch it on, because you don't know what its capable of. Also the guy said people from the future could visit us - but they might be some nut jobs who have some super destructive weapons and kill us all therefore no future?

Lol, the machine would take ALOT and I mean ALOT of power to power it up... but the problem is, would they be able to turn it off?

[Dan2nd]

I don't think they'd want to if they think people might be traveling back =]

Yes, but this one is a hell of a lot more powerful.
but,


... the Standard Model of particle physics predicts that LHC energies are far too low to create black holes...

Now, I'm a chemist not a physicist, so I dont want to get too scientific incase I'm wrong, but people have been conducting these types of experiments for quite a while.

[Virgin Mary]

How can you go back in time to a time that's already happened from a time that hasn't happened? That doesn't even deserve to be called a theory.

[Nli.]

You cannot go into the future because it has not happened yet.
How do you know?
What I think is that we've all been here before like If I kicked my door now I'd do it again in "another" life. When we die I belive were born in to the exact same life without knowing (obviously) If you've ever saw the film DeJa Vu it would make more sence. So to sumarise I simply think we repeat it self over and over... so yeah this is the future as well as the past.

your theory confuses me how long does this loop last or w.e or do we just relive our own lifes forever?

[Kerivy]

I dont like the idea of time travel tbh o.O
Apparently my science teacher said recently that they are close to being able to do it in France? something about a black hole.
confusing stuff tbh.
Scary xD

That's the thing I dont know, no one does lol. But yeah I think it just keeps repeating it self over and over and over for the rest of eternity. If you actually think about stuff like this logically it does tend to get your brain ticking. :)

the back hole thing hasnt happened yet. scientists are planning on trying to create the conditions of a black hole within a labratory in the us (If eveything goes wrong it could mean the earth being consumed by a black hole :D then everything around earth)

I've been fascinated with time travel for years and done alot of research. theoretically it is possible but it will need an extreme amount of power and if there was a power cut while it had been running for somewhat 10 years the wormhole would close meaning point zero would be destroyed and anything happening from future to past the 10 years before the power went out would be lost

[Corporal]

If time travel was possible, wouldnt someone of came back and told us?

[-Xiangu-]

no because there is no time machine now. The odds are if a time machine was created and made operational the first time we turned it on someone could come through straight away

[jesus]

no because there is no time machine now. The odds are if a time machine was created and made operational the first time we turned it on someone could come through straight awayyou actually believe all this is real?

you watch too many films. :rolleyes:

[warezkid3]

Rofl.

Sounds good, i wanna see what this does.

[-Xiangu-]

actually i barely watch films. i beleive it because it is theoretically possible

that's called Hinduism

[Alkaz]

but think there would be no lotteries, no horse racing or nything cause ppl will be going into future to get resuls to go bk in time to pace masive bet on the winners.

[Decode]

Im confused :S, how can you travel into the future if it hasnt happened yet?

[jesus]

Im confused :S, how can you travel into the future if it hasnt happened yet?you can't.

[-Xiangu-]

theory suggests time is continuous so by making a worm hole you could bend time to go forward. No one really knows if it is possible or not. It is theoretically possible but it hasn't yet been practised.

a simple example of how it could work:

A piece of A4 paper (this will be time). Make it so there is a ditch in the middle and two ledges either side of the ditch. The wormhole effect would theoretically bring the two ledges together without touching the ditch. and in this example going further along the paper in a shorter amount of time therefore timetravel.

[lScottl]

Im confused :S, how can you travel into the future if it hasnt happened yet?

You cant, that's the thing.

[-Xiangu-]

You cant, that's the thing.


It's most likely you cant go back in time but it is certainly possible that it could work

[jesus]

It's most likely you cant go back in time but it is certainly possible that it could work'certainly' and 'could' don't go together - its not possible. its a story in the sun for gods sake.

[lScottl]

How many times do I have to post this:


Going to the future is not possible, because it has not happened yet.
Going back into the past may be possible, but only in space, not on earth.

[-Xiangu-]

'certainly' and 'could' don't go together - its not possible. its a story in the sun for gods sake.

Ok I phrased that wrongly but if you actually do the research then you will understand it is actually possible (in theory) I am not saying that it will work in practice but the science is right.

[jesus]

Ok I phrased that wrongly but if you actually do the research then you will understand it is actually possible (in theory) I am not saying that it will work in practice but the science is right.ahh i see now :) i havent rly looked into it properly coz its never gonna happen

[Dan2nd]

I hate it when people base their point of view on 'zomgz it was in the sun it must be wrong' I mean c'mon if you want to argue you're view at least come up with you're own sources and evidence instead of bashing mine =D

[Dan2nd]

no its obvious that its wrong, i was pointing out that the sun is notorious for this.

How is it obviously wrong? The guy isn't building a time machine he's building a machine that will re create the conditions of the big bang and create a worm hole in the universe where it may be possible for people with more advanced technology to travel back to us. We won't know if it'll work or not until he switches it on and that still could be left open for answering if nothin happens as it could be three things

- Man never manages to have such technology
- The machine was never put in history books or archives
- As you've said it doesn't work

Just because the sun has a reputation doesn't mean everything they print are lies =]

[-Xiangu-]

i've rephrased it for you so hopefully you will take this into account now :)

[Neil]

I don't care what these idiots think, it's not possible, it doesn't matter how fast you make something go time stays EXACTLY the same, you could build a ship that travels 1 million miles per hour, circles to earth for 1 million miles and come back and everything will be exactly the same just 1 hour later because you've been in the ship for an hour, you've still aged an hour so it's not possible and never will be possible
Not to mention recreate the big bang? The big bang was an exploding sun and they want to recreate the effect? Morons

[Virgin Mary]

So what they're saying is that time records itself and there is a timeline beginning every microsecond? And that basically everything that will happen is predestined, so effectively there is no point in life because we technically never die if there's always one of us in the past.

Besides this is nothing new, I could travel through time right now if I wanted. If I travelled to America I could be 8 hours in the past, if I travelled to Australia I'd be 10 hours in the future.

[Abbie.]

what a load of rubbish

I dont believe any of that

and i agree with the post above me

You'd be an hour older, but time around you would, in theory be an hour and a few seconds older, beaning you travelled a few seconds forward in time.

They want to recreate the effect after it happened to understand our universe.

[Neil]

That doesn't even make sense, you age with time, every second that goes you're 1 second older, if you circled the Earth for 20 years you'll be 20 years older

And the effect after the big bang would be emptiness and billions of deadly chemicals flying through the air

[Virgin Mary]

They're contradicting themselves considering the big bang should apparently form a black hole, as that is what this same theory they're getting all this time travel from also says and is one of the flaws in the big bang theory.

[jackass]

It is possible in many ways really. Since Einstein, everyone has been racing to create the first ever "time machine". The two closest people to actually creating once, is this guy and that other guy who wanted to save his dad or something.

But this so called time machine is not safe whatsoever. When it turns on there is a chance it can create a black hole and destroy Earth and more, as it works the same way a black hole works.

[Dan2nd]

MY OPINION is that it will never EVER happen.

i've rephrased it for you so hopefully you will take this into account now :)


ok if thats you're opinion I respect that :)

Oh yeah dudes I didn't read the thingy correctly it says


It will accelerate particles to the speed of light — then smash them together to recreate conditions from the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang, which created the universe.



so I guess that means it won't re create the big ban so meh...

[Moh]

Even if Time Travel was possible, who ever finds a way will most probably be murdered by the government like any other thing which would stop them from making money.

[Falcon]

it's written by the sun, i'll beleive it when i see it.

it makes sense if you have actually researched and actually understand physics

and bio. your right the man who wanted to save his dad wanted to create a series of lazers which when in motion would take light atoms through

[Kardan]

The big bang couldn't have been created by an exploding star because the big bang created all stars?

And time travel isn't possible and never will be, otherwise we'd have people from the future here in the present day.

[Virgin Mary]

Theoretically it would create a black hole, through which you can get to the future because time slows down when you approach the event horizon because of the strength of the gravity. Only thing is that whatever enters a black hole instantly becomes a singularity, which obviously poses as a problem.

Furthermore this "time travel" is relative to time beyond the gravity of the black hole, all it means is that time, therefore your age, slows down, not that you're instantly transported to the future. So his idea that it would rip a hole in space and time and allow someone to travel back is stupid. It's the same principle behind people freezing themselves in hope they'll be woken up in the future without their bodies having been changed.

[-Xiangu-]

we wouldn't have people from the future here if time travel was possible because in order for them to come to us a time machine would have to exhist and since it doesn't future people cannot come to our time.

[-Xiangu-]

a black hole and a worm hole (time travel occurs in worm holes) are completely different. I've just been reading wiki. its quite interesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time#Time_as_.22unreal.22

If I have to say this one more time I think I'm going to go mad ....

We haven't had anyone travel back yet because this guys machine hasn't been switched on yet this machine is supposed to open a worm hole not a black hole in the universe where people from the future who have better technology will be able to travel back to us as his machine won't be turned on until may 2008 no people would not have come back yet.. we'll have to wait until may to see if that happens May 2008 will be day 0 according to this guy they won't be able to travel back before day 0 urrg..


Edit: I'm not argueing this point as I think its going to work I just saying it'll be interesting to see what happens and I fully repsect those who have come in and debated there point of view with evidence but it just annoys me when people come in and say 'it won't work blerrg' and haven't even read the article....

[-Xiangu-]

what would be funny is if the experiment succeeds and someone comes through the moment its turned on then everyone who was like noooo will be eating their words

Well, you think that someone in the future would have done something similar to make them go into the past by themselves considering they'll have better technology.

But I won't start going on, I haven't a clue what I'm on about ^^ In my opinion it won't work as there isn't a physical future :)

Nice opinion :). but the only way to get back would to be having a time machine in the present which means its impossible for them to come :D

sorry for double post. i just realised
I get what you're saying, it's just what that person is saying is pretty much a guess. Supposedly there have been lots of wormholes already, but none of them are large enough to travel through and don't last long becuase they need to be held open, also to create one big enough just to let a few atoms through requires an enormous amount of mass - that's where his guess falls through.

But I won't start going on, I haven't a clue what I'm on about ^^ In my opinion it won't work as there isn't a physical future :)

that is in fact a very good arguement =] But I think there'd have to be a machine on this end or something but like you I'm not much of a physics wizz so meh.

I get what you're saying, it's just what that person is saying is pretty much a guess. Supposedly there have been lots of wormholes already, but none of them are large enough to travel through and don't last long becuase they need to be held open, also to create one big enough just to let a few atoms through requires an enormous amount of mass - that's where his guess falls through.


yes according to physics wormholes open and close all the time, i agree to create a wormhole you would need an enormous amount of energy and mas but that can be equalled to by speed (theoretically)

Well hopefully it will work, I don't think it will but that doesn't mean i don't want it to. It's just I feel sometimes these people take things to the point where it's just pseudo-science.

thats the only bad thing about this subject. some things arent clear and are mixed with fiction. i hope it is possible just because we could learn so much

[lew!]

as much as i want to beleive this, tbh i cant.. and yeah, its so annoying when people r like
"OMGZ U LYIN CUS DER NO1 FROM FUTURE" ... its just like is it that hard to understand that
theres no machine atm so they cant come to the machine.. its only from when its on you can go back to.. fgs.

Well think about this.

When its switched on, and say it is expected to stay switched on for a year, everyone in that year who is going into it at the same time, would all come through as soon as it is switched on, because everyone from each time period is going through it.

Think like that, and you know it couldn't be possible.

I'm confused by what you mean? lol If I've understood correctly you mean if more than one person comes through at once from diffrent times in the future it wouldn't work.

Well surely they'd keep a record of whos travelled back when so in the future they'd know to come back at 12.01 instead of 12.00 =P Maybe they'd also only need to make the one trip I mean 2008 isn't that interesting =]

Okay look, lets just do it with 2 people for example.
The machine brings you back to when it was turned on.
Say it was turned on on monday.
Someone went in it on tuesday.
Someone else went in it on wednesday.
They would both come out on monday, when it was switched on.
So they would come out at the same time.

yes and how does that make it impossible?

[jackass]

Matter can not overlap another matter.

Even if it was possible, you would die by being merged with everything else that goes through.

[-Xiangu-]

but that still leaves possibility for the worm hole to work anyway no one knows that it wont work. then again that could most likely be true and by creating the wormhole we completely destroy earth.

I just want to go back in time and slap certain people I know's (no-one on this forum) mothers for giving birth to said people.

I'd also like to do the following:

- Go back and punch Britney Spears in the mouth, thus ending her singing career before it begins, than crashes and burns.
- Punch Paris Hilton for not releasing a sex tape sooner.
- Do what Stewie did on Family Guy and punch Will Ferrel for being in Bewitched, but congratulate him for A Night At The Roxbury
- Crap on the hood of Simon Cowells car, but wipe my butt and leave the toilet paper stuck to his windshield so he knows a human did it xD

That whole list sounds pretty appealing to me! Especially Paris Hilton haha, she may just look prettier. This time machine idea will be intrieguing I must say.

It's a particle accelerator? We've had them for ages? This one just happens to be bigger.

Who cares if it creates a black hole, we'll all be dead faster than the speed of light and nothing would matter.

It would matter cos we would all be dead :(
