How the Universe Works Theory

Unrelated to the television show which I think is on National Geographic or Science, not sure which. But I would like to ask a few questions of the trek community here. I am not spamming here, I honestly want to know the answers to these questions and maybe we can even debate them. See I have a theory I have been working on for some time of, as the title of the thread suggests, how the universe works. Rather it's origin. This is as much research for me as it is about asking questions and trying to have debates on them.

The first few questions deal with Time Travel.

1. Is Time Travel real?
I for one believe it is.

2. Is Time Travel good or bad? Pros and cons.
I'd give a little answer but that would give away to much of my own theory...any similarities to any other theory is purely coincidence.

3. Does Star Trek have a good track record of portraying Time Travel or any other media? Why and why not? Examples are Back to the Future...Dr. Who even though I've never watched much if any of it. Rick and Morty.
We're talking about actual Time Travel theories here.

4. Would you considering Time Travel being part of the M-Theory? Why and why not?
My information maybe out dated but I have spent a lot of time watching NetGo, History, and Discovery Channel, a lot of my information comes from there, but I have researched some myself.

5. Thoughts on Parallel Worlds, multiverse and mirror worlds?

Honestly I group all these as one, the accurate term for me would be Parallel worlds, but if there is a distinct differences between them, I'd love to hear.

6. Does Warping happen?

This thought came from an Anime called Space Dandy. See the idea goes with Parallel Worlds, where you randomly go from one world to the next without realizing it.

7. Why is the Universe expanding, Is it really dark matter?

8. What is Dark Matter?


9. Do you believe the Universe repeats itself?

10. When people dream, or lucid dream, can they see alternate realities or even the future?

Purely speculative here, but I'd like to hear your thoughts all the same.

11. Do you know about the Quantum Particle?

Not sure if that's the exact term, but have you heard of it, thoughts?

See, all these questions relate to my theory, of which is going to be use heavily in my stories...I'll probably be posting the story summaries soon in a new thread, but I feel all of this is grounded in reality and could quite possibly be true, but there is no way of telling any of it and I'm too dumb to go into science and try to figure it out myself. If I asked any of the wrong questions, feel free to correct me. Such as wrong terminology or something like I think you mean this, not that.

Unfortunately, time travel violates the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. :(

...um explain please. If you want to post a link that is fine to, I'll read it but just looking up the second law of thermodynamics doesn't do a whole lot on why it disproves time travel.
 
I can’t answer all of them. Too lazy, but:


8. What is Dark Matter?


Come back in 10-20 years, we might know by then.

10. When people dream, or lucid dream, can they see alternate realities or even the future?
Purely speculative here, but I'd like to hear your thoughts all the same.

I’ve written a bunch of short stories about dreams being snippets of waking moments in parallel universes, and where the soul resides in a higher plane and that webcan access the true reality through dreams and meditation.

I was fascinated by this stuff as a young teen, and devoured anything I could find about astral projections, remote viewing, precognition and the like. It’s fascinating stuff, but not a bean of it is ‘real’.

The Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that time travel is impossible. ;)

The difference between a parallel universe and a mirror universe is that a mirror universe defies the laws of probability to have all the exact same people exist only with opposite morals. So I would say, mirror universe is a subcategory of parallel universes.

I don't know if time travel is possible, but if you see time as just another dimension, I have no concrete proven reason to think it wouldn't be possible. And it only violates the laws of thermodynamics when you view the universe from the perspective of us cubelander 3 dimensional beings.

My theory on time travel is that if it exists it works more by Lost rules, that if you can go back in time you can't do anything to change the outcome of events. Kind of like, the universe is a stable wave, and any time travel that would destroy its own causation would be an unstable wave, which can not exist.

The 'repeating universe' thing seems far more unlikely than time travel, especially since we figured out the universe's expansion was accelerating.

I absolutely do not buy into the magicalness of human thought and dreaming (Save for describing the translation of random neural impulses to immersive simulated experiences as 'magical'), but I endorse it wholly in fictional universes.

This belongs in a different forum.

It was this or the miscellaneous section. It's not my fault that the sections have very general explanation for what belongs where. Either way I'll report it, ask for it to be moved there.

Doesn't the second law of thermodynamics assume the universe is a closed system?

This conception of dreams seems like a perfectly fine science fiction premise, but it's not something you can justify in real world physics. In the real world there's just nothing special about thought. It's electrical impulses and brain chemicals.

But that's perfectly fine. Fiction is supposed to have a more pleasant, more interesting universe than the real one.
 
That or time just stops all together and we're all motionless. We wouldn't know the universe had stopped. So we wouldn't know if we were dead or not.
For all we know the universe completely stops once every attosecond, and it just looks continuous to us because we can't perceive it.
 
Oh ok ! I'm sorry, I got confused because at first read I didn't understand if OP was refering to the real life universe, or to the universe as seen in Star Trek ^^"
