that is not what determines whether or not something is a theory

I apologize if I wasn't clear on my definition. You see, a theory is indeed an idea that is widely accepted by scientists. It also requires experiments and further testing. Perhaps we have learned the definitions to scientific terms from different sources. If you believe that I have made an error, please state your definition.

i guess you haven't been areound herme3 much

I have only been a user of this forum for a few days. I have not yet had the chance to learn the characteristics of other users. However, I hope your judgment is not because of the scientific error in his idea about light and black holes. You see, every great scientist in the world has made mistakes in their lives.

I build a timemachine and one day i find a painting in there that was painted by a future me. I decide to hang the painting on my wall and leave it there. Where did the painting come from if i dont send it back to myself again? How a painting ive never painted suddenly appear from nowhere?

From all of my research, I have not been able to find a way that could permit time travel to the future. Time seems to be always moving forward, but the past can be remembered. However, there does not appear to be a way to move into the future using less time. That does not mean it is impossible. Perhaps another scientists can come up with an idea that I have not.

I came up with a theory that is similar to yours. I'm not very good at math, but I think my theory make sense. It is at:

However, many people in these forums is calling it, "rubbish". Since you are a scientist, can you please tell me what is wrong with my theory? How is my theory different from yours?[/quote']

 

Dear Herme3,

 

I have read your idea. I would like to begin by pointing out that it isn't a theory. It is an idea. A lot of scientists need to agree with an idea before it can become a theory. Even after many years of research, my ideas are not theories.

 

Your idea is quite interesting. However, the speed of light is constant. It is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second. That is why I am sorry to inform you that your theory is not scientifically correct.

 

However, do not be discouraged by this. You wouldn't believe how many people have called some of my ideas rubbish because I had made a mistake. All scientists come up with ideas that aren't scientifically correct. You just need to keep thinking and researching.

 

The fact that you came up with an idea like that shows that you have a scientific mind. Do not become discouraged because you created an incorrect idea. You should keep researching your ideas, and improve on them. Someday, you might become a great scientist.

Take all that hand written work, go down to your local university, ask to see a physics professor, and share with him/her your research history, then you and the young professor can publish your work as Einstein2 et al....right?

Why yes, that does sound like a reasonable idea. Although I must admit that my research isn't what you might expect from a scientist. You see, most of my research was for my own notes. I use it to help me develop my ideas. If I did publish my work, most people probably wouldn't understand what I am talking about. Many people would probably think it is quite sloppy.

I feel that I should write my main ideas on these forums. The ideas that I have collected as a result from my research. These ideas are what I want people to know about.

what research? could you post it?

I have pages and pages of mathematical equations, diagrams, and other research that has accumulated in my 50 years of time research. This does not include all of my research before I became interested in the specific category of time.

Unfortunately, all of my research is hand-written on paper. I have not spent very much of my time on the computer, although I realize it might be the best way to share my ideas. I am 78 years old, and my days working in scientific research centers are long over. I need to find some other way to share my ideas with fellow scientists before it is too late.

This idea is the one that I have spent the most time thinking about. I believe that I have performed all of the research that I can. I summarized my idea, and posted it on these Science Forums. I hope that you all can continue my research, and make my dream of time travel come true someday.

I would like to express my appreciation to all of you fellow scientists that have shared your opinions. I have been studying time for approximately 50 years, and I am still unable to test my own ideas. I'm sure that I will be deceased before technology allows us to exceed the speed of light.

I'm sure that the majority of the users here are youthful compared to me. It may be possible that some of you can invent the technology to make my dreams come true. To help you accomplish this, I will try my best to answer some of your posts.

Well, a lot of people seem to think that history is recorded in the light that has passed us. When you go passed teh speed of light, you start to catch up to the past through the light. It is absurd I think. Because you are only going back in light, not time. So even if things did start going backwards, it would only be the light, not matter.

My research has determined that space and time are unified. I believe that exceeding the speed of light will indeed reverse the flow of time.

The Very concept of time travel is very exciting. might be because its not a mere fairy tale, but a complete & Logical SCIENCE.

You have the mind of a great scientist. You always need to have interest in your category of research. You clearly have that. I believe that you will accomplish great things in your life.

Good ion engines are not practicle. They use up too much energy to ever be really useful.

* Mass at t = 0 (known and constant quantity)

* Mass at time t

* Mass ejected

* Thrust required for specific velocity.

You are correct. A new type of technology is required to accomplish this.

Dear Fellow Science Researchers,

After much thought and research I have come up with an idea that might lead to the invention of time travel. Allow me to begin by explaining how I believe your speed relative to the speed of light changes the way you move through time. I believe that anything that is moving slower than the speed of light is moving forward through time. Anything that is moving at the speed of light is completely frozen in time. Anything moving faster than the speed of light is moving backwards in time.

I do not know how anyone will develop a way to move faster than light. That is not my specific category of research. I hope another scientist will solve that problem someday. Anyway, I suppose an easy way to demonstrate what I am saying is thinking about light itself.

Imagine that you are in a space craft that is capable of moving faster than light. The space craft has an extremely powerful telescope. You are facing towards Earth, and the space craft is moving backwards. Therefore, the distance between yourself and Earth is increasing. The space craft is currently moving slower than the speed of light. The Earth is spinning counter-clockwise, and you can see time is moving forward. Now, you increase the space craft's speed to match the speed of light. You will be traveling at the same speed as the light you see from Earth. Therefore, the Earth will appear to be perfectly still. Time on Earth would have appeared to have stopped.

Now, continue to increase your speed until you are moving faster than the speed of light. I predict that the Earth will appear to start spinning in the opposite direction. When looking at Earth, you will see time begin to reverse. People will be walking backwards, and you will even see dead people living their lives again.

My biggest challenge is finding a way to use this for real matter, and not just light. As a result, you can travel backwards in time, and go back to Earth in an earlier time. To do this, I would need to find a way to make the space craft return to Earth without going forwards again. I need to find a shortcut through space itself. If wormholes were real, that could be a possible solution.
