      If the observer and time traveler used mechanical watches their time would be the same even if one traveled across the universe and back. If light is a measurement of time then Earth is traveling in the future of stars planets and galaxies in the past before time and the universe existed :-). If the images you see in the universe were really in Earth's past, you wouldn't be able to see them because the the past no longer exists. Light and images cannot travel for 13.8 billion years (into the future:-) without a power source, when energy stops the lights go out. Einstein was either an imbecile or fraud lol. I don't understand how people can be this stupid :-).
      As you gaze at our creators universe, realize it's not a figment of your imagination. The stars planets and galaxies you see with your eyes are in real time. not a past dimension of Einstein space-time.
      Radio waves travel at 186,000 mi./s (half the speed of light) as each particle must charge the next particle in space. Einstein conflated the speed of particle radio waves with bipolar light waves that travel 186,000 mi./s in each/all directions instantaneously. The speed of light is instantaneous-bipolar light waves travel 186,000 mi./s in each direction. 186,000 minus 186,000 = 0 duh. Any attempt to measure the speed of light inside a glass vacuum tube would create light shattering (interference) thus breaking its state of superposition limiting its speed. So electrons eject instantaneously off metal from light, but the speed of light by itself is limited to only 186,000 mi./s :-). Either metal is acting as a light turbocharger or the speed of light is wrong duh.
      Using optical clocks and lasers to prove Einstein's time dilation-space-time curvature is like using a metal detector to find gold at Fort Knox. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing.
      The center of the sun is not the gravitational center of solar systems, neither are the center of black holes or galaxies the gravitational center for stars. If the moons gravitational force were pulling on Earth's oceans creating Tidal bulges the moon would have eventually crashed into the earth. Tidal bulges are caused from a reduced gravity-density on the Earth, just the reverse. The Magnetron gravity model explains why planets must orbit in a flat plane around their suns-stars.
      The image of the molecule illustrates how the gravity of the ether is both a pulling and repelling force.
      In space astronauts can overcome zero gravity with centrifugal forces of kinetic energy, density against the ether. At the center of the earth gravity is near zero so obviously gravity is an external repelling force (a centrifugal deceleration, density against gravity (the ether). The Earth like all mass is density against the ether (gravity of space).

      Einstein removed the ether medium (coordinates of objects in space) replacing real gravity with mathematical gravitational wave clocks that defy the laws of physics. This magic trick allows projectile particle photons with mass to travel at the speed of light through nonexistent near zero gravity waves in space. Einstein was either an imbecile or a fraud.

      When the wrong understanding of a natural phenomenon exists wild and erroneous theoretical suppositions are made. Einstein is wrong, "time and space or fabric of spacetime is a non-physical mathematical model with no physical realities. Time cannot be magnified with a telescope nor stretched with a nonphysical hypothetical fabric of space. The emptiness of space is not a material body or fantasy union that can join space and time together and stretched like a rubber band. Particles are not telepathically connected :-) Explain how you can see and feel the infrared warmth of the Sun coming up on Earths horizon when light-speed (Einstein's space-time) tells us the Sun is supposedly 8 minutes and 20 seconds in a past dimension of space-time. The planet Mars is supposedly 20 minutes in a past dimension of space-time as well, yet this planet can be clearly seen coming up on Earths horizon. Are we to believe our eyes are playing tricks on us and the planet Mars is not really there? If light and gravity slowed or stretched its energy and distance would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy as more potential energy would be required :-) so the speed of light and gravity is instantaneous and cannot travel slower than it does. That's the law of physics, live with it. A light wave can travel in superposition instantaneously in all directions whereas the wrongly theorized Einstein's hypothetical projectile particle photons simply cannot. Using the electromagnetic wave as its carrier the speed of light oscillates instantaneously in both directions which explains the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanical phenomena in the double slit experiment. Either Einstein was an imbecile or fraud.
      Attention Einstein's disciples: explain how time dilation can stretch light without stretching images in space. Newsflash, projectile particle photons have no DCU TV/monitor geometry conversion circuits. Our universe resides in a nonphysical medium of nothingness, if you were able to stretch it like Silly Putty the images of galaxies planets and stars would be stretched as well but would violate the laws of conservation of energy 🙂.
      Time and space are independent of each other, the speed of gravity and/or gravitational waves as predicted by general relativity is equal to the speed of light at 186,000 mi./s. Last I heard gravity is near zero in space. According to Einstein's relativity the zero gravity of space-time in space exerts a gravitational force-pushing us down, pay no attention that the same space-time on the bottom of the earth is pushing us up with the same near zero gravitational force. Einstein gets a Nobel Prize for the photoelectric effect while telling us the speed of light is constant at 186,000 mi./s, if that were true photoelectrons couldn't eject (instantaneously) off metal since electrons have mass and would be slowed by Einstein's principles of gravity.
      Einstein removed the ether medium (coordinates of objects in space) and replaced it with mathematical gravitational wave clocks. Newsflash, near zero gravity in space cannot be converted to real gravity using mathematics :-) ruclips.net/video/0cjBdTwF6v8/видео.html via @RUclips

      AdomkXG Time travel is absolutely useless. It is just a fantasy dream made up by sci fi authors. Is it possible? Yes. Is it relevant? Absolutely not. Any intelligent species would realize that time travel is in fact a huge “waste” of time. Just stepping on a blade of grass the wrong way in a past time warp could result in an extinction of an entire galaxy. Not that it definitely would, but it could. There is a Russian game that exemplifies this outcome, it’s called Russian roulette. In fact even talking about the future in a past reality will actually alter that realities future, just talking about it. Time is fluid, constantly changing, the present is the only way to ensure a longevity of existence. Time travel isn’t interesting, and is more dangerous than eating a nuclear missile with your bare hands.

    This was experimentally validated using very accurate atomic clocks around the middle of last century.
    Three clocks were used: 1 stationary, and 2 were put onto jet aircraft and flown around the world at high speed, in opposite directions.
    When the 2 clocks from the aircraft were put with the stationary clock, slightly less time had passed for those 2 clocks that had been on the aircraft.

    Relativity is all about how you see things or perspective. Say you take two points and cross over at high speed you see distance small. Similarly when you move slow you see wide gaps between the points. So distance depends on framework. And frame work depends on matter. Sometimes the matter seems to be the other way crossed. Time travel is a matter component requirement.

      Time and space are independent of each other, the speed of gravity and/or gravitational waves as predicted by general relativity is equal to the speed of light at 186,000 mi./s. Last I heard gravity is near zero in space. According to Einstein's relativity the zero gravity of space-time in space exerts a gravitational force-pushing us down, pay no attention that the same space-time on the bottom of the earth is pushing us up with the same near zero gravitational force. Einstein gets a Nobel Prize for the photoelectric effect while telling us the speed of light is constant at 186,000 mi./s, if that were true photoelectrons couldn't eject (instantaneously) off metal since electrons have mass and would be slowed by Einstein's principles of gravity.
      If space was curved-warped gravitational waves would throw planets out of orbit, altering time as galaxies and planets ascend and descend gravity waves, cause gravitational lensing distorting, stretching and warping images in the Hubble and James Webb telescopes. Gravity expanding at the speed of light would make gravitational waves scientifically impossible! If light and gravity stretched, its energy and distance would decrease, thereby violating the law of conservation of energy. Explain how the speed of light can be measured traveling through a medium of nothingness. The fabric of spacetime is a non-physical mathematical model with no physical realities. Time cannot be magnified with a telescope nor stretched with a nonphysical hypothetical fabric of space-time. Einstein removed the ether (coordinates between objects in space) so you wouldn't notice all the stars, planets and galaxies would have to be moved ahead in time for relativity to work 🙂. Newsflash, space is not empty. According to physics if two mechanical watches were synchronized on earth and one traveled across the universe and back, there would be no difference in time between the mechanical watches proving the speed of light is instantaneous as the only way a mechanical watch will run slow is if you tighten the main spring :-). Using optical clocks and lasers to prove Einstein's time dilation-space-time curvature is like using a metal detector to find gold at Fort Knox. The closer you are to the electromagnetic fields, mass and gravity of the earth the more light bends aka gravitational lensing.
      Einstein removed the ether medium (coordinates of objects in space) and replaced it with mathematical gravitational wave clocks. Newsflash, near zero gravity in space cannot be converted to real gravity using mathematics :-) ruclips.net/video/0cjBdTwF6v8/видео.html via @RUclips

That's how Einstein first thought about his theory of relativity. He was traveling on a train past a clock tower. A glare came off the tower and was shining into his eyes. It was like 10:30 or whatever. Einstein theorized that the ray of light that blinded him in that moment is always 10:30 light.

    No, time is a constant , it’s irrelevant at what speed something is traveling at in relation to time . The only respective in this experiment is the perception from different locations , however the movement of light is still the same even when two people see it differently from perspective . The actual movement and time it takes is not different it’s only perceived to be different . Time travel is not possible and only exists in complicated hypotheses .

Now you put tone on earth and the other a travel around the sun and back on a space ship. Physics shows time pasees differently on both earth and the spaceship. If the electrons are constantly entangled, how does that affect the speed of electron, and which one if not both have been effected?

    I have a dispute with this.
    This only considers the degradation & atrophy of objects (ie. a watch ticking faster would grind its gears relatively more than a watch ticking slightly slower, keeping it pristine for longer).
    This does not consider the overall prospect of the state of the universe. Since time travel itself requires the entire universe to shrink back to its former state, we can conclude time travel backwards is impossible. If the entire universe moved at a quicker pace relative to (?), then according to the laws of relativity, everything inside the universe would observe no change at all.
    Now for the hypothetical part:
    Let's say we somehow learn to localize the universe's changing states so everything around it keeps expanding but there's a 'bubble' where everything changes in reverse. Even in that state, we would somehow have to figure out how to maintain the 'x,y,z' co-ordinates of the person travelling backwards. Planets move quickly, and a millisecond of a person travelling backwards will put them into deep space.
    There are reasons why it's not just hard, but impossible. The universe wants to keep expanding and it has laws in place to prevent anything from preventing its ultimate goal.
    I have a hypothesis, so please don't take this as fact because I haven't tested it: There is a limited amount of energy in the universe. It's neither created nor destroyed, but there's a limited amount. All the energy in the universe is not enough to reverse the state of the universe itself.
    The best we can do is to change states slower. We can never reverse states in this universe. Even if we get the universe to shrink instead of expand, we will observe time as moving 'forward'.

    I believe that if you tried to travel back in time, you would collide with an earlier version of yourself, and you would either be stopped or destroyed. It would be like driving on a single- lane highway with bumper-to-bumper traffic behind you, which reperesent yourself as you traveled forward through time, at the normal rate of one second per second. If you tried to put your car in reverse, the cars behind you would crash into you, causing a cataclysmic event.
    You might be able to travel forward in time at a slower rate relative to everything else, but the past is inaccessible. Maybe information could be sent, but not matter.

      because I think if we might to try to circling the earth which is round. i mean circling the earth with the same place to the same place destination. at the speed that keep increasing. i don't actually know if this would work. but maybe, just maybe we could slower the time until it reach 0,000001 per second. lol

    What is even more interetsing is that we can go beyond the claim that 'time is personal' to the greater claim that 'time is localised in our bodies'. In other words, different parts of your body are moving through time at different rates of speed! Your arm which is moving is travelling at a different speed to the one that is stationery. Your head, which is higher and subject to lower levels of gravity, is moving at a different speed to your feet which are lower and subject to greater gravity.
    Jim wasn't only moving in time at a different speed to the audeince but he was moving at a different speed to HIMSELF!

He has to accelerate away from earth, and then back towards earth, and from his perspective he sees gravitational fields which affect the passage of time at different points. If the astronaut was in an inertial frame during the whole trip (which is impossible by the way), he would see earth age more slowly than him, but earth would also see him age more slowly than earth. This is because you can put the origin of the frame of reference either on the astronaut or on the earth, and make either of the objects stationary if both frames of reference are inertial.
    When it comes down to it, if you had a clock on earth, and the astronaut had a clock, and you set both of them to 0 at the moment the astronaut left the earth, then if the astronaut's frame of reference were inertial during the whole trip, he would expect his clock to be ahead of earth's clock. Earth would feel stationary too, and expect the astronaut to age less, so earth would expect its clock to be ahead of the astronaut's clock. Both clocks can't be ahead of each other. If earth's clock read 5, it would predict the astronaut's clock be T where T5. That means 5

      Danner you're not stupid. It is great to be curious, mate! This is because time is not absolute! Time is not independent, i.e, time cannot be same for everything moving at different velocities, no matter how minute the differences are. But time differences for earthly velocities are negligible due to their magnitude.
      However, when you approach the speed of light, the time dilation does becomes more profound. This is what the Theories of relativity (SR and GR) were about. Everything is relative. The faster you travel, the slower will be the time for you! Same for Gravitational pull. The stronger the gravitational pull- slower the time.

      I don't think I really understand the explanation fully yet, but what might be a tangent, or what he's saying partly, or what commenters are saying...is time is an earth bias, so we project it on the universe....but if an astronaut slummed it in space for a year, letting earth round sun, then come back....yeah that'd be a year for earth, but the astronaut abstained from our time. So it's something with not outpacing light, but being lapped to go back, and to go forward, you reverse engineer future in passed. Or stay somewhat ahead of Earth's rotation. think his explanation is actual science though and I'm imposing on it.

    Brian Cox cites the effect of time dilation as evidence of the ability to travel in time. A man returning to Earth after travelling at near light speed through will indeed be biologically younger than his twin brother on Earth but it is a non sequitur to conclude from this that he has travelled in time.
    To begin although time has been characterised as a dimension it is solely a human notion (best thought of as an imaginary interval between events) and you cannot travel through a human notion.
    The observable effects of travelling at speed relative to the Earth are that at the lowest level the amount of quantum events decreases and this affects everything in the inertial frame of reference such that for example clocks run slower, people age more slowly and tea takes longer to cool down .

      @Metallisika the distance traveled was not greater, the distance was objectively the same. A sideways force and a vertical force such as is applied in this case, can be measured, and its effects on the light bulb predicted. Jim might only perceive the independent motion of the light, but the absolute sideways motion from the force applied to the chair results in the changing starting position of the vertical independent motion.
      In otherwords, as Jim moves up and down the bulb with his hand, the starting position of the ball continually changes, and this accounts for the triangular zigzag motion. The bulb does not travel greater for anyone. The two separate motions I have described must be separated.

    • @owenmartin3307
      @owenmartin3307 4 года назад

      @Metallisika yes agreed, you cant add these motions together, thats why I said you need to separate them. But theory of relativity assumes you have to add different motions together and that light is the one exception. The distance is not increasing for any photon depending on the observer, the photon travels its own independent distance at all times. The atom travels faster so nothing surprising there that they last longer.

    It’s definitely possible with time dilation. Think of the movie interstellar. If one were to go to a planet that’s affected by the gravitational field of a black hole or something similar, time on that planet could be moving significantly slower than time here on Earth. In the movie, an hour on the planet that was affected by the black hole would equate to 7 years on Earth. If one were to purposely stay on this planet for a day or so, they would essentially be traveling to the future. When they get back to Earth, they would be around 200 years into the future!

      but he knows he is travelling faster than we are. Ignore light, lets say it was a ball being bounced on the floor, and you bounce the same ball on a train, to both perspectives the ball is bouncing the same, yet the ball of the train, because of its difference in directional travel, the ball on the train is moving faster, as the train is carrying it. We know we can slow down light, as we know its moves slower in our atmosphere than in space, surely there are circumstances where light travels faster, we just are unable to measure it. Black holes for example.

      Talk about completely missing the mechanics. It has nothing to do with 'the light' at all. "Light" has a fixed speed (speed = distance divided by time) relative to everything else. His 'lightbulb' at "Light" speed has to travel further than ours, but again, it has a fixed speed, so it will not be able to increase the average speed like a car would achieve that, so it has to slow down time. "Light" is a constant; Time is not. Maybe try watching it again without confusing lightbulb with speed of light.

      As Prof. Cox explains here, time is relative because it moves differently for the objects with different speeds.
      The speed of light is constant and it also is faster than anything else.
      As your speed grows, it gets closer to the speed of light.
      When it is so close to it, time slows for you. Therefore you would travel to future.
      If your speed is equal to that of light, time stops for you. However, you probably cannot make it with your material existence because light is kind of an energy and you too need to turn into energy in order to be as fast as light.
      Last but not least, when you move faster than light, you would theoretically travel to past, which is out of any possibilities because as I wrote above, speed of light is faster than every other speed.
      Is it simple enough to begin with?

      No you're just fine. This is all hogwash. Basically, what they are trying to tell you is light and time travel at the same speed or very close. So if you can somehow travel at the same speed as light, you are essentially traveling at the same speed as time. So imagine being in a car on the highway and a car next to you is traveling at the same speed. It will appear as if the car is standing still but the environment around you is moving fast. So since you are traveling at the speed of light, you will be in sync with time and time stands still.
      If you really try to think about it, it sounds just as silly as saying the earth is flat. Time is not metaphysical, it doesn't have attributes or traits. It is just a way we try to measure the way things change from moment to moment. Everything is always changing and if we want to find a way to document how long it takes something to change, we have to find a point of reference in which we measure what we call time. Our point of reference is the earth. We try to measure time by how long it takes the earth to rotate and go around the sun. The time we use is not perfect in calculating that because the earths orbit and rotation is not perfectly in sync with our 24 hour clock so we have leap year every 4 years to correct it.
      Time as it relates to the universe and everything is a constant. If time is not a constant, then time is inaccurate. Our time on earth is inaccurate as it relates to the universe because we keep resetting it every 4 years. It is good that we do because it helps us prepare for the seasons here on earth. If we didn't reset the time, the seasons would start shifting to different months. Over time, Fall would be in December and winter would be in March. No one truly have the means to measure time accurately because we do not have the universal point of reference. This will probably blow your mind but I don't think there is a point of reference by which we could measure time from a universal standpoint. We can generalize by comparing how long it takes the earth to go around the sun to the movement of the stars but it wouldn't be accurate in the long run by a long shot. If there is no reference by which we measure time, then time does not exist. Which would mean the only thing that does exist is eternity. However in our existence, time exist for us living beings because we have a beginning and an end.
