Time travel....as easy as driving down the road.

Have you ever experienced about little things disappearing on you? I have. Small things like pins, tacks, staples, rubber bands, etc.. in that category. At first i thought i misplaced them or whatnot, but only to look further and start noticing a few things like that gone-

I've certainly experienced this. One incident in particular......a pair of 4 inch scissors with bright orange handles just disappeared from my flat.....this was over 20 years ago.

Now....clearly it's baffling when something so easily spottable just 'disappears'. You look everywhere, and the item is just not there.

But then...I'd look at other explanations long before I considered disappearance into another dimension. My flat at the time was rented...maybe the landlady 'borrowed' the scissors. Maybe they accidentally fell in the waste bin and got thrown out. Maybe I lent them to someone else and just forgot about it......as it was some months before I noticed the disappearance. And so on. There's 101 more likely explanations I'd have to consider before I got to the incredible.
 
“Rick and I were so scared that we took off running back to the broken down truck. I never looked back, but I felt someone watching me the whole way. When we got back to the truck, it started without difficulty. Rick and I took off as fast as we could in the opposite direction. We never went back or spoke of it again to this day.”

The trouble with such stories is they are entirely annecdotal. People tend to be all too trusting of the stories of others...without realising just how full the world is of people who have no problem making stuff up.

Back in the 1980s, an entire bestseller 'true' UFO story.....The Uninvited ( not, not the 2009 horror film).....amazed readers with a story of alien beings and a secret base in Wales, UK. And how a local family came to realise that they had aliens living just a few miles away. It was 'impressive' because there were over a dozen people who were in the story...all of whom at the time stood by it.

But as the years went by, the cover began to slip....and some of the group started to admit that details of the story were made up. Then a documentary team found that some places mentioned in the book did not even exist. The whole thing unravelled.............though today the book is still sold as a 'true story'.
 
Re: Time travel....as easy as driving down the roa

From my experience, time travel does take a lot of "energy", if you measure energy in kilowatts or lumens, or neutons. However, this is all relative, as a drop of water when split by fission or condensed by fusion, holds lots of "energy" in the term most people think of what "energy" means.

Here's the thing with time travel, for living tissue, it involves moving not only mass but also consciousness. The energy that moves consciousness does not come from the first four dimensions, but rather the 5th. This dimension is something I have only recently began to understand and seems to be the key to controlling our minds through time travel.

The "energy" of the 5th dimension is much greater than the "energy" of the first 4 dims, thus only small amounts of 5th dimensional energy would be needed to time travel. The mind has a connection with this dimension, but our brains typically filter it out, much like our brains filter out IR wavelengths. Occasionally, ones mind can release the 5th dimesnion, causing spontaneous time travel. The fortunate aspect of this, is that from the vantage poiint of the 5th dimension, our mind-body connection is not broken and thus the time traveler does not get lost.

You have experience in time travel? Do tell. :D

What reactions are you talking about here? Do you mean chemical or nuclear reactions? Because if you mean chemically combining or splitting H & O, then one of those will be exothermic while the other is endothermic. So it's not accurate to say they both "hold lots of energy": one releases energy while the other requires input of energy to take place. If you mean nuclear reactions, well... If you could overcome the coulomb barrier to fuse H & O (which would take lots of energy), then it'd release energy (though only 0.600 MeV per fusion, which isn't much). Or you could fuse 2 O nuclei and get 16.542 MeV, which is a little better except that the coulomb threshold is really bad at this point. And you said water, not just oxygen, so we must account for H somewhere. Obviously you're not going to fission H, and you're not going to gain energy by splitting O (the fission products would be lower on the BE/A curve than O). So what are you talking about? :D

I missed something obvious in my last post.

I thought you meant "neutrons", as in nuclear power. However, I think you meant "newtons", which is a unit of force, not energy. And lumen is not a unit of energy either. Hmm...
 
Re: Time travel....as easy as driving down the roa

to clarify, when referring to a drop of water i was referring to energy that that drop could produce via either fission or fusion. Not electrolysis. Also when referring to measurements of energy I meant Newton, and is a measurement of force. I typed quick and didn't bother to check my work, as I was just trying to make the point that energies from different dimensions have different quantities when all converted into the same units and placed in the same closed system.

And yes, I do have experience in TT, but we are not talking about that, I don't want to talk about it, and this is the wrong section to be talking about it.

So. how much energy, in Joules, can a drop of water (~0.5 ml H2O at STP) liberate through fission and through fusion?

"So. how much energy, in Joules, can a drop of water (~0.5 ml H2O at STP) liberate through fission and through fusion? "

? I don't know, i;m not a mathematician. Besides i don't know that you could give an absolute answer to either, as it is unknown how far an atom can be broken down. There is energy to be had at the atomic level, the sub-atomic level, the level beyond that, etc. Same with Fusion, you could eventually combine all the atoms in a drop of water to elements that would be unstable in this time and beyond what scientists have been able to produce for even short instants.

Ya!
Out the door, down the road, out into Space, and Spacetime. Where am I?
Well, I don't know why I am doing this, perhaps - maybe - maybe not, and this is a small list (well it is not half a billion stars of the Infrared Galaxy over there at CalTech).

http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/messier/

Stellarium don't separate it enough, I am guessing looking at the program or they don't filter it better as of yet.
http://www.stellarium.org/

Neither does this one by the looks of it ( and again, John Walker's website and his other program - Homeplanet)
http://www.fourmilab.ch/yoursky/

But here is another freebie program that wants to use this new star database stuff: (or not - I have not tried this one yet.)
http://www.uv.es/jrtorres/CNebulaX.htm

But without the Astronomical Almanac from the U.S. Naval Observatory, or better calculation formulas, these program really only generate accurate results for just a few years - say like 1800's to 2100 perhaps, but therein lies the rub of any such programs, going back to the Birth of Christ, just usually is not all that accurate to what was up in the Sky back then (well where it was and really accurate - just probable mostly).

Why in France either?

Well, I am Lost in Space and Time.

Fly there in Celestia: (or with the Hayden Planetarium program freebie to download - Digital Universe)
http://www.shatters.net/celestia/
another one to fly in.

I think I will fly away.

The I/280B catalog of 2.5 million stars is really only a space delimited text file in the end, but the Readme file there explains what the fields are for the 210 character record file. Except a bunch of changing it around to a comma delimited record file in Excel or something (actually with my old programs - Visual Studio. NET comes in handy to read it in afterwards in Excel to make it a *.csv (comma delimited and not space delimited after using the ReadMe file there on the website.....)

Starry Eyes!
http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/I/280B/
that thing of a database.

I glanced at a couple of stories but only a couple caught my eye, the rest, well, I guess I have to look at it all again sometime, so perhaps I should add another link to the already overwhelmed list of links I have.

I forget now what that story was about, but sometime perhaps I will look better at it.

Humans are on this Planet in this Universe.
But, the Universe may not be Enough!

And all this time travel and looking up, don't let a Near Earth Object hit you.

http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/neo/

Again there has been relatively close ones lately and one (although not big) hit in the Sudan, you may have read about.

And time may be the only dimension, or how are you going to go out into SpaceTime anytime in the future?

Keep looking up.

The 'closeness' is somewhat deceptive. For example, one might consider 10 times the radius of the Earth, or 40,000 miles, to be 'close. However, using the area formula PI*(R^2).....the circular area in that space is actually 314 times that of the earth.

So even an asteroid that passes within 40,000 miles of Earth actually only has about a 1 in 300 chance of hitting Earth.

I've heard asteroids as far away as the Moon being described as 'close'.....but there the odds increase to 1 in 11,000. Space is a big place.
 
Time is relative and there is a mental component to time where perception of time can be altered by the mind:

"
Time does go slow

DOES time always march with an inexorable, steady beat? We have all experienced occasions when time appears, if not exactly to stand still, to be excruciatingly elongated: during sermons by particular preachers, or in General Synod.

Science might now support the phenomenon, we learned in Time, the first episode of a big-name documentary series presented engagingly by Dr Michio Kaku (BBC4, Sunday), a co-founder of String Field Theory in modern physics.

The passing of time is more than an industrial construct, a ploy by capitalist bosses to squeeze the last ounce out of a downtrodden proletariat by means of clocking-on, and time-and-motion stopwatches. Deep within our brains we all have a mechanism that fires cells in a pattern of beats which synchronises our bodies, a biological mechanism that we apparently share with every other terrestrial life-form.

But this steady rhythm can be altered: the production of adrenalin in moments of acute stress slows down our body time so that the perception of, say, a serious accident as happening in slow motion is in fact exactly what happens.

This is one of the problems with sourcing an argument by using pop-sci culture. Michio Kaku is not one of the founders, co-founders or anything else founding-wise of String Theory. String theory came about in 1968 through the work of Gabriele Veneziano, Leonard Susskind and a few other physicists. In 1968 Dr. Kaku was still an undergrad at Harvard.

Dr. Kaku is a brilliant physicist and teacher but he has actually only published five papers in academic journals - all between 1992 and 1999, 25 to 30 years after string theory was first introduced.
