Topic: Do you believe in time travel? and if so where would you go and why? - page 3. (Read 2789 times)

I can already tell you how it would end up.
Since you're completely new to this you'd end up lost in the jungle or bitten by poisonous snake or spider, catch a fever, whatever and die carrying your AK's before reaching any village.
Even if you managed to do it and present your power by shooting someone you'd be worshipped at first and then assassinated in your sleep or poisoned by some other power hungry warrior. Also in the jungle you wouldn't stand a chance against a tribal warrior with poisoned arrows and blow darts, because he could hear and smell you from afar and you wouldn't even know where to aim your weapon.

It's funny how many people would kill themselves (just like you) when given a time machine.

Why go back to just 30 years, when you have the capability to go back millions of years? Here is my plan. I will purchase a few AK-47s and a few thousand rounds of ammunition. Then I will travel back 2,000 years to some Latin American nation. I will become the chief of some small tribe, and using my firearms and knowledge of technology, I will conquer the entire world in less than two decades.

Don't make me laugh. If you had the ability to travel in time all you could think of is buying bitcoins? I know we are on a bitcoin forum but this is so childish  
You really wouldn't want to see ancient Greece, Egypt, bring home some artefacts from the jurassic period, but waste this to go back 5 years and buy bitcoins. You could just invest in Apple in the 80's...

It is not something which can be achieved through the advancement of science and technology. Time once lost can't be regained. So no matter how much the technology advances, time travel will remain confined to the sci fi movies and comics.

I've studied some physics over the years, but that's a moot point.

Time is only measurable because we made it so by defining it. Using average lifespans as a measure of time is meaningless, as it references a time frame specific to our particular planet ie. an Earth year, which is not a measurement of time but a measurement of a cycle ie. how many Earth day/night cycles it takes for Earth to complete a single revolution around the Sun.

For time travel to be possible it would mean that every single point of reference would exist simultaneously, for all events that have ever happened, are happening or will ever happen. This means that if time travel were invented in the future it would have to also exist in the present and the past, which means we would have witnessed time travelling events already. While there are many images/videos/stories of these kinds of events having occurred, there is no hard evidence to prove these are anything more than misinterpretation.

For me the biggest hurdle is energy conservation laws. There are many examples of irreversible events in normal life that require energy input that results in a state change of an object that cannot be removed again to revert an object back to its former state. Take the breaking open of an egg and the beating of the contents as an example. Energy is used to break the shell to release the internal contents and more energy is used to beat the egg yolk/white. Time did not change the state of the egg, energy exchange did. You can't reverse this simple energy exchange and get back the original egg.

As far as I'm concerned, there is only now and the thing we understand as time is simply the transformation of energy all around us, altering the state of objects in a way that we can witness and perceive as a passing of time.

Kind of. I believe that we could go back in time but not in to the future. Also, there a lot of. Firstly, time doesn't exist, it's something we made up. Also, one thing that I like, if you were do go back in time, you wouldn't change your position, but  with the Earths movement and galaxy movement, where would you end up? In the middle of space?

Also, if time traveling exists, we would already know about it.

Haha, I do not know.
At the moment I do not believe in time travel..
But I'll wait 15 years and then I'll write again here... I hope.

Yes, I believe in time travel. I want to go back to 2009 and buy many bitcoins.

No, i don't believe in time travel. There is no existence of time travel. But if so, i would go to the past and amend all of my mistake.

I agree with you. Perhaps this idea is only for movies, but agree that sometimes you want to dream. The scientific world begins to open with a dream. And suddenly something exists? Because sometimes there are reports that there are people from the past. Though of course to believe in our time media is also not an option.

Time travel is a thing of sci-fi movies. But if ever I can travel back in time, I will go back to where I started to learn about bitcoins and be one of the early adopters of it.

I don't believed on time travel if this are true maybe there are people who already rich and you can change the past and make his self number rich in the world, if i were the creator of the time machine. THis is nonsense even the scientist don't think that this time travel can do exist i know it only for movies.

This is a very interesting topic for me as I have, many times also, thought about time travelling whenever I read about certain things in the past I wanted to see and experience. I think past cultures are very interesting, how things were made then, and how the people acted. I specifically wanted to know about ancient Greece and to know more about how their culture influenced most of how we run things today.

This is perhaps the 1,000th time I am seeing a thread about time travel here in bitcointalk.org. I don't know why people are so obsessed with it. Just admit it. Time travel is not possible. Do you believe that it is possible to revive dead people? No. The same here as well. Time travel is not practical. It is just a myth.

I believe in time travel but not on travelling to the past or going to the future. Time travel is our daily life experience. Time travel is a motion of activities from past to the present. Going to the past is impossible since the only existing reality is here and now, past is just a term referred to the point of time that has passed. Future is nothing but just a possibility but not existing separate from the present.

I do believe in time travel, and if one day people make time travel machine, whether that will be bus or automobile or something else, I would like to go back or in future. But there is one science proof that says, even if you are able to travel back in time you would not be able to change anything, because events that happened in past lead to time where you traveled back. So if something change you would not travel back in time and that is it...

Kip Thorne is the leading scientist on that field, he"s an theoretical physicist and the biggest chance for your delorean bus to work   So you"ll go back to 2009 and you"ll mine some bitcoins on 512 mb ram pc with two core amd shitty cpu   I know your plans haha

Have you ever dreamed about something and after a few days you see the same thing in reality? well my friends that is called time travel done by our souls.

I don't believe in time travel because I haven't heard or seen someone travel
back in time and somewhat able to go back and in the present. No proof yet.

However, some scientist believe that time travel is possible but not practical.

The most developed of these approaches involves a wormhole—a hypothetical tunnel connecting two regions of space-time. The regions bridged could be two completely different universes or two parts of one universe. Matter can travel through either mouth of the wormhole to reach a destination on the other side.

But if its possible then I will probably go back where the price
of bitcoin is just a few dollars and probably bought as many as I
can and hold it...  but hey it's just me 

You could use a lesson in physics. Time exists because it's measurable.
Take a look at how living organisms react to time, their life can be fit into a timeframe and every specie has its own. Some live only one year (like some insects for instance) and some can survive for hundreds of years (trees). Time travel is possible, especially if there are multiple timelines.
