past is the present and present is the future

[jack_harkness]

This is going to be my first post of many posts on my theory of time travel. Now when I say time travel I can only say this from an outside perspective, under the pretence that time is a straight line with a simple pattern of cause to effect, when this is quite simply not the case. Just because one man can enter the past doesn't mean he is living in it as he would of been there before and followed the same route of events to get there, and therefore is not living in the past but his future. Now I'm not saying time travel is impossible but to reverse time is, this ties in with the theories of time travellers living amongst us, which they probably are and as a result have already read this post, but what I'm trying to say is they nor any of us have the power to escape our own destiny.

Look at it this way, I am typing merrily on my PC these words you see before you but in a completely different timezone, which since has become the past. My way of putting this straight forward is saying there is no past present or future, but only time. Now if time can be seen as a solid thing then that would make travel to the past present and future possible wouldn't it? Although of course all of time would be the future for us. So how is it possible to travel backwards and forwards through time? Well for this we can use Einstein's theory of relativity, I only know part of this so bare with me if my knowledge of the theories are completely wrong but, We can achieve time travel if we past through a revolving black hole, but how I hear you ask? I'll tell you but first let me divulge another of Einsteins theories, We can travel in time if we move faster than the speed of light? How again I might hear you say? Nothing travels faster than the speed of light? Wrong, the answer so simply is Gravity! Gravity? Yes, gravity travels faster than the speed of light, it is what keeps us on this lump of rock we call earth, it is what keeps the planets in the sky, and it is what black holes suck in to make time travel possible. Gravity exists in the past present and future, it is what created the earth and what in my opinion will be the eventual destruction of the universe, although of course in hundreds of trillions years to come. Also, What I'm saying is gravity can be manipulated to make time travel possible. How? well I'll explain in due course. But if you have anything to ask of my theory then please ask away.

There is much controversy over the propagation speed of gravity. So far nothing has been clocked at speeds over that of light to my knowledge. But I am interested in your theory of how you can manipulate gravity to travel in time.

I wouldn't call that travel. Time isn't passing as quickly when you approach near light speed. (Matter/Mass can't accelerate to light speed, at least, not according to the math)

When you stop moving, everyone has "grown" older than you. Time is still passing, just at different rates.

Why not grab some physics equations that have time as a variable. Arrange them all so that t (time) is on the left... Try to get t to be negative and see what physical requirements need to be met in order to do so /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif You might find it's mathematically impossible. But who knows until you try.

edit: I guess that would be dt (rate of change of time). or TRIANGLE SYMBOL t

I think you'd need a way to take the square root of a negative number before you could make time go backwards... Just for starters, there are most likly other impossible-to-solve math problems after that step.

They recently created a way to divide by 0, who knows that tomorrow will bring.
