Do you age after a time travel?

I was wondering if anyone ever asked Titor this question.
Well, he said that for one observing him while departing from his
original point of departure, he would be gone for only a split second.
Now, let's say Titor stayed with us from year 2000 to year 2020.
When he'd return to 2036, do you think he would look any older to
those who observed his split second departure and return? Any
thoughts?
 
I don' think he answered that question. Maybe you age in reverse with full memory retention and it's a way to live forever!
 
Who can say with any certainty? Though it seems to be the most logical conclusion that he WOULD return older than he left, because of time's effect on aging, but also other factors working in conjunction with aging. Remember his physical matter is still under the effects of time, regardless of his point in space-time. Unless he leaves the space-time constant entirely, we can assume he is aging.
 
Just as I said, you spend 20 years anywhere, in any time, even if you travel back to the stone age or into the future, you spend 20 years there, you Age 20 years... However, if you are traveling a high percentage of the speed of light, say you spend 20 years at 50% light speed, you would Not age 20 years. Hence, time is Relative and not a constant.

Aww now I'm confused, I thought the person would only appear to be moving in slow motion if you kept the telescope fixed on them as they traveled at the speed of light. I thought they did age at the same speed?

Nope, Einstein special relativity theory. For reference you might look up the so called "Twin Paradox" or perhaps someone else can explain it to you. The faster you go, the slower time affects you, I am not sure if the inverse is squared or cubed or some type of a sine wave I'd have to lookup the math again, but basically, and this is fundamental, the faster you travel the slower time goes for you.
 
I truly don't think that speed is a factor here. Well, from John Titor, there is no moving parts when time traveling.

Anyways, someone replied to my question with these words from Tirtor. I'm not sure if it answers anything.

I'll try to explain the best way I can. I hope you cab visualize this, it's kind of hard to explain.

Say you have a device, 2 mirrors facing each other about a foot apart. Formatted the way an hour glass is, but without the glass. Then place a pulse of light between the mirrors. The pulse will keep reflecting off the mirrors until the end of time. To make it easier, let's just say every time the pulse reflects off of a mirror, it is one second.

Now being stationary sitting in your chair, the light will be reflected back and forth at 90 degrees, relative to the mirror (the shortest distance between the two mirrors).

Now go in motion say 100 mph in a straight direction, with mirrors and all with you. (Here's the tricky part to explain) just after the light pulse reflects off the mirror, the pulse is in mid flight. At the same time the mirrors are continuously moving. So now the angle of reflection has changed from 90 degrees to 45 degrees (angle depends on speed). Therefore creating a greater distance for the pulse to travel. When the distance increases the duration of time increases with it for the rest of the world. But relative to you, in the speeding vehicle, it's still only one second.

Therefore aging is decreased. One final note to remember if you don't agree. The light pulse will not stay perpendicular to the mirrors, because of motion laws. Remember light is a form of energy, not mass.

Hope this made sense to you?

From Titor's theory yes, u do do age after a time travel. His method of time travelling never Uses speed of light. It has something to do with gravity.

Dont mix your theory with Titor's theory and get confused. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
