    Time is not a road which we can travel. Its just a construct which humans use to track and record passage of events. Nothing more, nothing less.

      I agree but,
      If there's 11 dimensions, time being 1 of them, then the fabric of space time could be traveled via blackholes possibly. It would be a matter of surviving the travel.

    I worry that if we could go back in time, we’ve just added another reason to go to war. This country or group wants to change this part of history but that means another country has to make a big sacrifice and they don’t want to, etc. sometimes it’s better to leave things alone
    There’s my two cents. Happy Tuesday everyone!

    What if our universe is just one atom of an even greater system - or some blackbox created as a mere facet to something else? Maybe our stars are just the atoms that power some giant desk clock or desktop computer at a greater scale, where we are actually in the microcosm.

      The whole "an atom is just like a solar system" thing is only a speculative analogy at best. We know planets and objects in a gravitational orbit have a continuous range of possible energies. Electrons in an atom only have certain, discrete possible energies. If the quantum world and the large scale world are taken to have the same physics in this sense, transitions between those energy levels in atoms are like if your car went from 0 to 60 instantaneously, without ever achieving any speeds in between. With that kind of speculation, you need a way of making those theoretical pictures look the same. Now of course I believe there is an underlying physics that explains all of it at once, but the whole "an atom is just like a solar system" thing just doesn't seem to cut it.

    Please every one under stand: The Earth moves through space. At any time, it is not where it once was. To time-travel, first, you would need to create teleportation. How do you expect that on a moving object with no anchored reference, that moving forward or backward in time that you would be in the same place? Do you not under stand?

      I have a mere degree in Economics, meaning I am nothing more than a simple spectator here and a dummy fan of the wonders of science and mysteries of the universe. Having said that, I have feeling that when Lex an others ask this question, they're actually asking something like "Can you traverse back through Spacetime" in more layman's terms. Do you understand? :)

    A lot of people seem to think that a sort of "baseline" state of being in the universe, or lack thereof, was nothingness, where everything sprung somehow. What if the baseline state of the universe is not nothingness but instead the opposite, everything? And in this state of everything are gaps of nothingness in scattered throughout.

    Time is the 'shadow' of Motion, (Stuff-side)
    Time do Only exist in the Consciousness
    of Living Beings, (Life-Side)
    Memory is the Highest of our Six Eternal Basic.Abilities.
    So, Time is an Effect of our Travel,
    and the stream of thoughts is also Motion.
    There is NO time-travel, but most people have experience with De Ja vue',
    most often Past, but also Future.
    The Ability to Sense in Time, Past/Future
    and the Ability to Sense in Space, Now-Time, somewhere else in space,
    will gradually develops into permanent Abilities,
    under control of the Will.
    It is about Purpose and Ability, Not speed and distance.
    So, Thoughts is Change, change is Motion, motion become Time,
    and time become Time-Spaces, in our Memory/Consciousness.
    If there were No Motion, there would be No time,
    and if there were No Memory, there would be No recordings of Time.

    There was nothing. Then it exploded. Then there was everything. And we know how hot it was the moment after nothing exploded and became everything. The riddles these ppl speak in might make sense to each other, but to me sounds as fantastical as any other creation myth. Except more arrogant. And without the poetry.

    • @popcultexpress
      @popcultexpress Před 18 dny

      No, science doesnt have the answer to what was before the big bang or how it started but they have some ideas, none of which is that it started from "nothing". Even when Lawrence Krauss penned his book A universe from nothing he didn't mean a literal nothing because we do not know what nothing is. He talked about quantum fields and fluctuation potentialy triggering an event like the big bang. And not a ex nihilo type of universe state.

    • @deanoost9599

      @popcultexpress Ahhh. The ingredients for everything were already there, from whence they came a riddle. Then the ingredients exploded, dispersing everything everywhere. Like Jiffy Pop, mysteriously appearing on a stove top. Magnificent.

    • @popcultexpress
      @popcultexpress Před 18 dny

      @deanoost9599 Ah, but you completely ignored the first part of what I wrote which was that science doesn't have an answer to what was before the Big Bang. It could be that we may never know what happened but I suspect we will discover a mechanism to answer this question, which of course will open up many many many more questions. And whilst you fall to the fallacy of personal incredulity scientists will continue to work on these problems. The amazing thing is you are using a mobile phone or laptop to write here. And I know for a fact you cannot explain how these incredible pieces of science work. Please explain how a computer processor works and a microchip. Here is something that should be simple to answer. How does your laptop present you with a cursor and how does the operating system allow you to type word numbers etc? I know for a fact that even when consulting Google you could barely give a rudimentary explanation of the above processes let alone an in-depth coherent breakdown. But hey youve got the fucking gall to say these people speak in riddles. The fallacy of personal incredulity is strong with you buddy. Sheer fucking hubris.

    Even if we could, once it becomes public knowledge, everyone would be time travelling making it as mundane as everyday commute. The whole appeal of time travel is that it gives us something special. What's so special about a Jew going back to kill Hitler but knowing that in another timeline he still killed 6 million of them - he still can't save them. Or if we could actually create a perfect universe where no crime or wrongdoing ever happened - that would then become the baseline of society, and we'll look at time travel as nothing more than means to an end. The whole allure is only because it's (currently) impossible. Once something becomes possible it becomes boring. Case in point: Electricity, Computers, ChatGPT.

    Time is not fundamental... If nothing in the universe would happen , how would time travel? I would not, because time is defined by motion and therefore not there if nothing is moving/happening... You can say that time will always be present, because for something to be it has to happen and therefore time would be generated

    The universe does not have a memory. That's pretty clear - so when you want to go "back in time" there's nowhere to go to, if that makes sense, any more than if you want to walk around a house that's been knocked down
