Traveling Back in Time

  • Is it possible to go backwards through time? We travel forwards every day, but traveling back could let us change our past, visit old friends, or manipulate the timeline to our benefit... Although our knowledge of space and time remains incomplete, we can still use what we know to consider possible time machines. But what kind of paradoxes would this entail and how can we resolve them? Join us today on a special journey through time.

    My brother was killed on Friday September the 13 last year when he was only 35. A 25-year-old drunk driver going wrong way on freeway crushed his car head on. I felt so raged. I wish I could go back in time to make him stay home that fateful day. Thank you so much for your video. It is a wake-up call for me to not holding to the past, but appreciating every precious present moment with your loved ones, because life is so fragile and unexpected.

      I know what you mean. My beloved cat got brutally murdered in 2009. I wish I could go back in time, take him with me to work every day - I actually considered this as I had a fear something like this might happen (it was my stalker who murdered my cat), but then I thought he would be safer at home.
      If I could go back in time - I would take him with me to work, turn my house into Fort Knox or preferably move away, make the neighbors aware of the situation, and not leave my cat out of my sight!

    I keep revisiting this video almost every day since a year ago.
    My fiancé was going trough tough times and I was too busy with work to see her, She committed suicide One evening at 6pm, I remember exactly the moment and I remember every word of her last message, If I could have answered her Earlier She would still be here.
    I was always too busy Working I never considered she would commit suicide. She was the most kind and Cheerful person I have ever meet, she was always looking for a way to help everyone. Maybe It’s not possible to go back In time, But I will never stop looking for a way to go back. Or at least have one minute to talk with her again.
    Thank you for this beautiful video.

      You should realize that eventually she would have done it anyway, stop blaming yourself. People with suicide tendencies just look for an opportunity but their mind is already made up most of the time.

    They add to my perspective, enrich your message and at the same time breeds more questions, triggers my sense of justice and fairness and how the universe and its timeline seems blunt and without prejudice. It plays by its rules without any regard to whom you are.
    My sorrows are a drop in an ocean. One that is surrounded by joy and what times does to you is, try to teach you, as you brilliantly portray, if you don't look back, it's invisible and what's in front of you is the joy just waiting for you to walk through it, face forward. That's all there will ever be.

My daughter passed away 62 days ago, she had MRD and she went through horrible pain during a seizure she couldn't come out from.. 8 years old, 8 years of constant pain, in a world so cruel to ppl with a disability... While she was with us i kept dreaming about changing the course of time so she can be living normally in a different time line, that idea made me ease up a lil bit thinking that Sasha will be playing in a different universe. She's gone now, could've we stopped that, her mom and i? No...
    Should we accept she is gone? We can't... Will there ever be a time we can go back and reconstruct our future? Crazy thoughts, i just wanna see my daughter again

    One aspect of time travel I have never seen addressed in any movie or video is the fact that the earth is moving. It is moving very fast. We are not at the same place in the universe that we were a second ago. If you travel either forward or backward in time, you are going to end up in space! I'd like to see Cool World Lab address this point.

      And depressing. Very sad and most depressing because it is something beyond our reach. It means we wont get the answers to certain questions that have plagued researchers. There are tons and tons of questions and problems that could be fully resolved and settled and put to rest if we could just go back and visit the past and just SEE how some event played out, not CHANGE anything, but just OBSERVE and study and examine what we see. How many problems and questions that would settle! EXAMPLES: 1. we could finally KNOW how the pryamids were built. 2. We could find out if Moses or Solomon really existed. 3. We could find EXACTLY where Alexander's tomb lies. 4. We could know exactly what happened to the Ark of the Covenant .5. We could learn exactly how and why President Kennedy, or the actor George Reeves died. and 6. Scientists could see EXACTLY what a real T-rex looked like! Thousands of other mysteries could finally be completely solved simply by going back and using our eyes!

      Not to sound petty but ya... everyone is free to have an opinion, but it's my understanding that a "masterpiece" is any individuals best work at that point in their life. Usually we think of masterpieces coming when an artist or creator is older... because at that point the work is a culmination of years of experience and learning what worked and didn't. A picture of a purple and orange elephant dancing on a swing set is a 5 year olds' "masterpiece" because it's the best they have ever done till that point and don't truly know if it will get better or improve in the future at that present time.
      Either that makes perfect sense or I'm stoned as fuck and it's 1:38 am...fuck it, it makes sense to me. Basically what I was trying to say is let people call it whatever they want. I hear music on the radio everyday that apparently is made by "talented artist"...see how that works? (The music is very basic and the singers have so many filters on their voice to make it sound good it literally is the opposite of talented)

    19:00 This becomes a staple of time travel in Doctor Who. Once an event is learned of or realized, it automatically becomes a fixed point in time, meaning any attempt to change it causes a paradox that would ultimately disintegrate the time stream. Of course, it's because DW operates on the concept of a singular timeline, as opposed to the theory of multiple timelines.

    • @mavisedwards

      Amy: Time can be rewritten.
      The Doctor: Not once you've read it.
      It basically states that if an event is observed in some way, shape, or form (at least by a time traveler), then it becomes a fixed point in time and any attempt to alter its outcome results in a time paradox that threatens to disintegrate the time stream entirely.

    The double slit experiment in quantum mechanics shows there is some element of time travel involved for the observation of a wave form causes it to collapse into a solid particle state whilst the prior observation of it being in a wave state is no longer present, as if it always was in a particle state the entire time. The explanation is that the collapsed wave function upon being interacted with and collapsing into a solid particle state must travel backwards in time and then from there go forwards in time to the present time of its observation collapse, but existing from the point of view of the observer as a particle the entire time, like the wave function never existed at all.

    Thanks for your videos, they are great, informative and brought down to a level that most if not all viewers can understand. I'm just a layman (no scientific studies) but I've read and thought about these subjects for 40+ years and understood many concepts over the years (Einsteins special and general theories of relativity was an epiphany when I could mentally picture it in my head) but don't ask me about quantum physics, that's just so unintuitive that I feel like I'm falling whenever I try to seriously understand it's workings based on previous and current work.
    I know the basic principles, from the split screen experiments to the uncertainty principle but to me those are just facts on a piece of paper and they don't tell me more than some of the effects we're seeing (which is where scientists usually start when they explore a certain physical phenomenon, working their way backwards to understand more and more). As far as I know, physicists don't really understand quantum physics on a deeper level, they just compare their calculations with the observations made and vice versa and reach the conclusion that a particular part of the theory is correct or wrong and move on from there without really grasping on a deeper level how and why it seems to act the way it does.
    1. Even if I could travel back in time and change something to improve my current situation, when I travelled back into the future there would be another "me" that grew up and lived a different life. That would be a problem.
    2. There are still an infinite (or near infinite) amount of knowledge that we have yet to discover. For instance, what is time? We have our anthropomorphic perception of it and we use it in calculations/theories based purely on it's apparent effects (like entropy). But what IS it? We don't know. We have yet to discover the very essence of gravity beyond it's effects on space-time and objects.
    3. I WISH I could travel back in time and correct some serious issues but if that was possible it would lead to my first point. I would still be the same person with the same background while there would be a different "me" in the present. If I was transformed into the new "me" the instant I returned I would basically commit suicide since I would become the "new" me and the old me would simply cease to exist at that very moment.
    4. Until we know a lot more about gravity (quantum or classical) and the deepest intricacies about time and space we won't have a definite answer to this question (and I don't know if we'll ever reach that level of understanding). We have a strong tendency to think about these things from a very human perspective based on our current limitations regarding imagination, the ability to transcend our anthropomorphic view on physics.. and then there's the issue with the physical laws and properties of the universe.
    5. We may find loopholes/solutions/knowledge that surpass those limits and may be able to move back and forth in time as we like but in a way that we simply cannot even begin to imagine yet that not only avoids all the paradoxes but means something completely different from our current perspective. That's obviously pure speculation based on my understanding of how little we actually know about everything compared to how much there probably is to learn.
