Time travels, time paradoxes

Jan 24 09

This essay will be split into 2 parts one on time travel and the other on paradoxes.


Time travels. It is such an abstract subject. Theoretically it is possible to travel back by exceeding the speed of light. This would allow one to go back in time. Sadly, it is impossible. To go past the speed of light is not possible.

Today’s will concern the aspect of time travel. Recently a scientist named Ronald Mallet discovered that if something was spun around in a circular path will actually allow you to go faster than the speed of light. For someone watching you that is. For you, you are going at exactly the speed of light, but for someone else, you disappear into the past. This way, you don’t “go past the speed of light” but for someone watching you, you do. To go forward, just go faster and faster toward the speed of light. For you, you travel slower in time, but you don’t experience. So one hour for you is like a century for others.

Time paradoxes. A paradox is a statement or occurrence that defies itself. They usually don’t make sense and occurs in strange or unheard of things like time travel. Someone goes into the past and does something to assure that the traveler going back into the past was impossible, then a paradox would occur. If the plans for a time machine was made in 2500 A.D. and I went back from 2600 A.D. and destroyed the plans, what would happen? It doesn’t make sense. The way for it to make sense is the parallel universe theory. This goes in correspondence with the 11 dimensions theory which is too abstract and complicated to explain. Back to the plans scenario. Destroying the plans would make it impossible to build a time machine in another universe where the future didn’t include a time machine. There would be an infinite amount of dimensions with all the permutation of reality possible and each one of them is an individual universe.
