Comments on: Scientists Say We Can’t Travel Back in Time http://plooms.com/scientists-say-we-cant-travel-back-in-time/ Sat, 30 May 2009 22:03:49 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Sebastian http://plooms.com/scientists-say-we-cant-travel-back-in-time/comment-page-1/#comment-13 Sebastian Tue, 20 Mar 2007 17:24:37 +0000 http://plooms.com/?p=7#comment-13 Because of time dialation at speeds approaching the speed of light, all you really need to travel forward in time is a vessel that can bring you near the speed of light. Now one of many problems is that once you're there, there is no way back, that we know of. You can arrive at a 2000 year older, fallout devistated earth... Now that wouldn't be very pleasant.

In fact, every astronaut that's ever left the surface of the earth is minutely (pardon the pun, it's not that big a dilation) younger than they would otherwise have been had they stayed on earth. db That’s time dilation and it has been proven by taking atomic clocks into space.

I'll have to look into that book theories on parallel universes are way cool… I’ll have to look into that book

The main obstacle to overcome would be to harness enough energy(much Like the Doc) in Back to the future. The book makes the comparison to space cowboys that lassoo up 6 or 7 Supernova's and than you begin to believe that time travel is definitely a possibility.Of course if their are an infinite number of parallel universes anything is possible. But some mystical religions such as certain types of buddhism claim to have been capable of time travel for centuries, so, I guess if you go there....You can go anywhere. Interesting question though.
