Nevermore Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Does time travel violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics? If you go back in time, you're taking matter out of one time period, and adding it to another, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermore Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 if you move an object across a room, does it violate the 2nd law? So, you're saying that the 4th dimention is just another direction in which matter can be moved? Does that mean that the total amount of matter in the universe includes that of the past and future?

Sayonara Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Does time travel violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics? If you go back in time, you're taking matter out of one time period, and adding it to another, right? ...which is a net gain of zero matter, because you're already accepting dimensional conditions that allow transposition of matter. The only way the 2nd law can stop time travel is if it's a form of time travel that you have contrived to show that the 2nd law stops it, which is a fairly pointless application. We've done this thread several times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
