Time travel research »

Posted by: mark-stevens 2 years, 5 months ago

University of Washington is working on something rather startling. Studies that Einstein described as "spooky". The Denzel Washington Movie Deja Vu maybe closer to fact than fiction. This is one more thing that is making science fiction harder to come by.

    As a casual reader of Quantam Physics, String Theories and the like. It sparks the imagination. Tesla had some interesting theories about this as well and there have been Tesla societies that have constructed many of his designs that have functioned just as he suggested they would. Fascinating.

      Sci fi!!! My mom as a child saw a movie about space travel and flat screens hanging on walls. Those screens could do two way audio visual broadcasts.

      Not very sci fi sounding now.

      Right now there is research being done to tele port solids.

      They have been able to send complex atoms via teleportation.

      Call me when they work their way up to flies......

        I hope they take Paypal because I sure as hell don't mind donating for it. As an fan of conspiracy theories.. I wouldn't mind speculating that this technology already exists but only for the echelons of high government. Remember Roswell UFO? :)

          Time travel - what a trip that would be. I won't hold my breath for anything in my lifetime, but you just never know in today's world.

            Maybe, modern scientists are just trying to discover something that was well-known to ancient mystics thousand of years ago?

              Texas Linda doesn't want to go back in time. That's too bad, she belongs in the 17th century!

                About as real as "cold fusion", but it's their money to waste in any way they want.

                  How did the notion of time travel pass from science fiction to mainstream scientific research? Fools with money? I get tired of hearing about some 'new theory that may allow us to travel back in time.' Time is a unit of measurement, like the inch, or the meter. The whole concept of time was created by man to help measure our existence. It was also created to be linear, that's why the numbers always count up. Every sixty seconds is another minute, every sixty minutes an hour, hours to days, months, and years.

                  What they're talking about isn't time travel at all. They're talking about reversing the sequence of the occurrence of events, and that's not possible, in quantum physics or any other kind. If it were, there's all kinds of sh!t I want to take back, and even more stuff I want to do over.

                  So, can we please devote some more scientific research money to curing disease and solving the impending energy crisis? If we keep trying to screw up the past, we may not even have a future.
