Time travel, at least into the future is absolutely proven. The faster you move the slower you age. On discovery they did a test with a blackbird supersonic jet, syncronized a watch on the plane and one on the ground, flew that ***** around the world, when it came back the watch on the blackbird was like a fraction of a second behind the watch left behind. while thats not enough to make a real difference, if you could travel at the speed of light it would make a huge difference.

That's absolutely baffling to me, I don't understand why the watch would be able to physically slow down. But if true, when harnessed on a much larger level it literally shrinks the universe. I mean if all you need to do is go faster, and throughout time that's always been a goal of man, then i mean if it took 20 million light years to get across the universe to another habitable planet, all you would need to do is figure out a way to go fast enough to make it a much shorter time. Or did I do that backwards?

Thats the thing, the watch didnt slow down. the way they explained it, the faster you travel you like go outside of time. Like when you trvael really fast, outside your bubble time goes by much faster or something. Or you are just on like 2 different planes of time. So like if you could travel 2 years at the speed of light you only age 2 years, but everyone else could age like 20 years or something like that.

1st: 88 miles an hour!



2nd: did they ever try the watch experiment on a space shuttle trip? You could experiment the hell out of that to see if it was a one time event or not. I'm surprised NASA hasn't done so...if they haven't.

The clocks in the GPS satellites are constantly being synched with the clocks here on Earth due to the time dilation effect which is described by the theory of relativity.

I thought time was also affected by distance to major bodies of gravity. That the mass actually slows down time.

Time is a human made up thing and bound to the expectations inwhich time has been made up. What has occured is a section and a large basis of Einstein's Relatvity. Basically the watch on the ground and the watch in the plane have two different relative states that impact the "made up-ness" of time.



The odd effect of these states and the "made up" time is that the faster one physically moves, the slower time moves. The ol' twin brothers example from High School Physics. There is more to this, and I could go far, far deeper, but figured simplier is better.

This is why the traditional science fiction presentation of space travel is improbable. When your zipping off at warp 50 to fight the Empire and Darth Vader, by the time you get there the war could could have been over 20 years ago in land lubber time.



Thats why the more ideal and probable form of space travel is by bending/folding/tearing space time, basically artificially generating worm holes. Instead of travelling in a strait line from point A to point B, fold the map so point A and B line up then punch a hole through it.

Yup, in terms of keeping "time" within relative relativity. Glavin!
