Time traveling

If a drunk and a non-drunk are monitored for ten years both being the same age born on the same day and same time in the same hospital the drunk will age faster than the non-drunk. Is this time travel because the drunk looks older and worn out compared to the non-drunk even though both are the same age?
Nope. not time travel in any way, shape, or form

It's okay. I knew alcohol had to be involved with this thread somehow.
 
The speed of light is equal to 6.706e+8 miles traveled per hour. This means that the person orbiting the Sun at the speed of light in the same orbit of the Earth would have orbited the Sun many thousands of times compared to the person traveling at 18.5 miles per second. Within that hour of time the person traveling the speed of light would have aged significantly based on the calendar year of the Earth orbiting the Sun. Those many thousands of times translate into many thousands of years not because the person traveling at the speed of light has actually traveled for those thousands of years but instead the fast as light traveler merely completed the orbit around the Sun at a faster rate of velocity.

The person traveling the speed of light around the Sun might have aged immensely based on calendar years but they would still be the same physiological age that they were when they left Earth.
This is all incorrect. Carl will show you the way it works, just watch the video.

Just please go read a book on what you're talking about before posting again. Everyone here is tired of trying to correct you.


Oh, and you seem to be having a problem with the quote function as well. Keep practicing.
 
I'm convinced that Time Travel is real.

I suggest you avoid investigating the matter in too much detail:

And I already provided all of you with a thorough explanation of why time travel is not possible, last week for me, but two years from now for all of you.
 
Oh hey, electric universe junk science. Just the rabbit hole Dryson needs.

Then start a discussion based on something scientific McDuck Bill.

Time travel is possible because if you lay a yard stick on the floor and walk forward along the yard stick and then back to your original starting location you have basically time traveled.

You can never change the past however by time traveling because all of the particles in a galaxy are connected together and to revert them to a former historical event state in the entire galaxy would be more impossible than traveling faster than the speed of light.

How do you revert the past of comets flying into a sun and disintegrating? How do you glue back together a planet that has been struck by an asteroid? If you can do that then perhaps you might think about taking the Earth back in time and getting rid of the politicians and religious leaders that keep us from reaching into space and colonizing planets for the survival of humanity.

But what about the space in between galaxies? Does time exist like it does within a galaxy? Or is time different?

Well, yes...in a sense. You traveled forward in time at the speed of 1.
 
You can never change the past
Quite right, you can never change The Past, so you could not be in The Past without being in the same state you were in The Past. So "travelling into the past" would be indistinguishable from not travelling into the past.

Walking would also produce minimal time dilation, making the particles in the walker's body minimally younger on return than they would have been if the walker had stayed put.
