Re: The arrow of Time
Monk, could you please further explain the “our brains sometime feels the ripples from the future” part?
Errm, on second thought, don’t.
There is nothing in Einstein’s theories that says that time travel to the past cannot happen, but his theories funny take care is the paradoxes. In our normal world, cause comes before the effect, always. Time travel to the past violates that principle.
On a side note, general image of time travel to the past (or the future) is very confusing in a normal persons mind. If you want to travel to the past, to the time when your dad was 10 years old (let’s say 1964), and you want to show up at his door step, then not only you have to travel throgh time, but also through space.
Our Space is continuously expanding, and our cluster of galaxy that includes our own milky way is flying away from the rest of the clusters at a very high speed. Then of course our own solar system is part of the spiral arm of the Milky Way, and is in constant revolution around the center. Then our earth is revolving around the sun. Keeping all these motions in mind, our earth is millions if not billions of miles away from the spot it was 50 years ago. Me traveling back in time to a specific place on earth is like a double edged sword. You have to figure out to travel through time, and have to figure out to travel through space, and it should be done in relatively short period of time (from your perspective) than it should normally take for you to travel through the same amount of space in real time
I don’t understand the theory. But I am not sure one has to go back in time AND space to recreate an event - such as showing up at father’s doorstep in 1964.
if you consider earth to be a black box - spherical in this case - maybe it doesn’t matter where in “universal” space the father’s doorstep was in 1964. The frame of reference is the moving earth through space. So only travelling back in time may be relevant?
