Ray,

Ah, yes. The fundraising.

Welcome to the cafe. Can you post a link to your website? Please describe the theory of operation of your time travel machine.


Hi,


As soon as the website is up and running I will put a link on here. I think it may be to try to raise funding though! Apologies for that, funding isn't my department. I'm on the design side!

You did ask him about fundraising, didn't you?

Shill for a scam.
 
Hi

My name is Sophie. For many years, I have been fascinated by time travel.

I am looking to make a documentary on time travel which will hopefully question the viewers sceptism. I am very keen to know more about you and your project.

Would you be interested in talking to me or telling me more about you?

Hope to hear from you

Many thanks
Sophie
 
This is no 'pie-in-the-sky' scheme

Without you giving even the remotest clue as to it's nature....I'm affraid it is. Even folks like Professor Ron Mallet quite publicly state the nature of their proposed time machine, and publish scientific papers on the subject. He quite openly states that the basis of his time machine is to create relativistic 'frame dragging' in the lab. Probably about as likely as cold fusion......but at least there's no 'secret' nonsense being spouted and it is all very open ( and thus much critiqued by fellow scientists ).
 
A new website is being set up now to attract funding for the early design and material testing.

A curious way of getting funding. Normally the procedure would be to write up a paper for some science or technical journal. One would want to do so, if only to allow others to analyse the design and ( as in the case of Prof. Mallet ) find any design or logic flaws. You could take out a patent at the same time...if there's any concern that someone else might 'steal' the idea.

Then one might get a grant from the Science Research Council. Or maybe some global conglomerate like Siemens might take an interest and invest millions.

I doubt if anyone is going to contribute simply on some web site that says ' Give us money for a time machine '....and with no real details or scientific papers referenced. That would seem to much like a scam....even to the gullible.
 
People with 'appropriate training' can't even prove or disprove John Titor's claims yet. They may struggle with mine.

Au contraire ! People with proper training disproved Titor's hoax a loooong time ago. I myself pointed out some years ago that Titor's time machine is technically impossible, and showed why.
 
I still maintain that this is a genuine design. I'm doing the 3D CAD modelling for a team who are working on a time machine design. The mathematics isn't my forte but the dimensional characteristics of the components they are manufacturing for testing are. I'm drawing up cylindrical prototypes based on an updated concept of the Van Stockum Cylinder. The details involve references to causality violation geodesics. I'm currently detailing a superconducting filament which will link a rotating cylinder to measuring equipment. There are thousands of these filaments needed, but at the moment they want to manufacture one, to test its electromagnetic properties. Can we stop the slanging and I might consider giving more information as it happens. For the benefit and interest of everyone.

Actually the general principle is pretty much the same as that proposed by Professor Ron Mallet. Whatever the hardware, the phenomenon used is called 'frame dragging'. It is one of the more esoteric consequences of general relativity.

Einstein, however, proposed that frame dragging would occur within the immense gravitational field of a rotating black hole. Essentially, the rotating black hole 'drags' the space round with it. It is the rapid motion of space itself that allows 'time travel'.....because technically it allows motion ( relative to an outside observer ) faster than the speed of light. I believe a number of recent papers have actually provided evidence that such frame dragging indeed exists. So...time travel IS possible.

Now...that is all a far cry from the laboratory level frame dragging efforts. Such efforts are actually based more on some fancy mathematics by Godel than on anything ever observed to occur. It requires huge force to drag and rotate space.....the sort of force associated with a stellar mass black hole. Simply rotating a large tin can....hmm.....personally I think cold fusion has a better chance of working.

Professor Mallet goes beyond the 'rotating cylinder' model of Van Stockum and proposes a helical array of powerful lasers to twist space. The general responses I have seen from scientists are that the energy involved is orders of magnitude too small.

Personally I am with those scientists who argue that frame dragging on the laboratory scale is likely impossible.
