Time travel is impossible. The past and future do not exist. Only now exists.
>>16842806future time travel is trivial, just get in fast thing, go in a circle and land back where you started.
>>16842811Is that really time travel though? You're just ageing slower relative to people in another location. You're not jumping forwards in time instantly. It's no different from freezing yourself for 10 years and saying you time travelled.
>>16842806>*falls asleep in the present*>*wakes up*>it's still "Now" but with slightly more entropyproblem?unless time is an intrinsic property then this seems like a non-issue. a matter of subjective labeling
>>16842863The colloquial version of time travel, like you see in the movies. They jump between large amounts of time, seemingly removing themselves from existence and emerging at a new time period. Apparently people in the space station age a few milliseconds slower per year than those on earth, but we don't call them time travellers. Same as simply going to sleep, nobody calls that time travel. I'm taking about jumping forward or back in time a decent amount without experiencing the time in between. There's never going to be a time machine to send someone a year into the future for example
>>16842887There also is no way to "jump" in space.travel does not imply teleportation
It is time for Process Philosophy chads to rise
>>16842899It would be a jump in time.
>>16842806okay, but what's up with the tigerloaf?also, imagine the moral implications if pseudo-solipsism were proven correct, if against oneself.
>>16842930>what's up with the tigerloaf?if you try to time travel you will face him
>>16842806yes but you can slow time relative to other people and "travel into the future" through time dilation
>>16842806Sending information to the future is trivial
There is no universal "now". So in any other reference frame you could be in the past, or in the future
>>16842806If you move through space really really fast you can travel to the future. Relatively.
>>16842806>Only now exists.Now is constantly slipping away becoming past earlier than you finish your sentence.
>>16842806>inverse calculations are impossiblewrong chud
>>16842806If only now existed then change would be impossible.
>>16843319Doesn't change come from the forces particles impose on one another? Potential energy etc.
>>16842806buddhism taught me this
>>16842953>>16842961>>16842991These are time dilation, but not time travel. Time travel would be travelling across time without experiencing the time in between. Like how teleporting would be jumping across space without actually moving the space in between.
>>16842806So why are all the timestamps ITT different and seemingly arbitrarily ordered instead of them all being labeled now and coming to me in the most useful logical order possible?
>>16842806I see it like a process of crystallization or stabilization of a larger substrate where the future is still in superposition until we "look at it." The Great Collapse. OooOOoooo
>>16843430That is teleportation not time travel. I never said time dilation is time travel it only creates the effect of time travel for the person experiencing it. It is the closest real world plausible form of time travel we have. Teleportation does not involve time displacement.
>>16842987I know what you mean, but say if you were able to freeze time across the universe everywhere at once then that would be considered "now" for everyone at that instant.
>>16842806"now" doesn't even exist either according to general relativity (even for separate observers that are yet not moving at all with respect to each other, but who are in different gravitational fields).
>>16842987Time is the same everywhere. You just perceive motion in fewer or greater increments.
