Is a time machine possible?

At what speed do molecules break apart? Why do molecules break apart at all due to speed? Speed relative to what?

 

 

Whenever something speed up, they usually heat up, not due to the friction of air at high speed but due to the processes that speed up something usually cause tremendous energy aborbtion increasing the unstability of the molecule. Weak bonded molecule like liquids will turn into gas at high temperature. Also at high speed, matters break up on their own even at cold temperature due to massive changes in the behavior of electrons. Atoms in those molecules start losing "charges" of a sudden. The speed I am talking about here is speed relative to complete stillness. High speed, like 800km per second, not 80 km per hour. This has been a brief answer :mellow: it's a complicated topic that could have a book written on.

If a comet travels by Jupiter, it may get "speeded up" and sling-shot away at a tangent (the way Voyager did), but that does not heat up the molecules inside the comet. It may accelerate to a much higher speed, but it only gets more kinetic energy. It does not heat up at all.

Can you please supply some references for any of the things you said here?
