now what time does the lottery numbers come again?

well if i had the opertunity to see into the future this would be one of my many hobbies. or mabe the next start of 'Eairly Edition'.

The complxity of the whole issue is not if it is possible but how to make it happen. You see, regardless of how you look at it you cannot really maipulate time or space. It is always there. What needs to be altered is the human body. How do we de-molecularize our bodies, transport these molecules to another time without picking upo impurities and then fuzing the molecules back together.

***This is not another Matrix foreground****
This point was briefly looked at in the matrix... when the girl told neo not to try and bend the spoon but it is actually him who needed to be bent.

This is very interesting as you cannot manifest the current time in another dimension/universe... it just isnt the same. WHat does change however is the being (humans in this case) that exist/ occur at that particular time. This is where the problem lies. How do we cease existence in current time to exist in previous or future time and space for tha matter?

What if you go back and meet up on yourself......??????
What if your interaction in the past causes some cosmic unbalanced and caused you not to be born in the future?? Will you just cease to exist?

Remember back to the future pt 1 when his mom liked him instead of his dad....he almost never existed??? Same concept.....think about it.....

I saw this very interesting episode of "outer limits", where they had a situation where: Aliens had made contact with earth, and they allowed select humans to travel to their homeworld to study, problem is, their homeworld was light centuries away, and to get there, you had to be transported, like "star trek". Problem was unlike "star trek" there was no dematerialization at point of origin. the aliens had a manual system where operator had to manually demolecularize traveller to avoid two copies existing. In that episode there was a problem, the machine malfunctioned, and the operator did not know if transport was successfull. If aliens knew there was two copies they would break ties with earth, but if transport failed, human operator would have commited murder, by killling unique individual.

Time travel now or FedEx Day Before Service

You go to the local FedEx office to send an urgent document to the Los Angeles office. You right up your waybill. date: Tuesday 8th March, 2005. Time 12 noon. Pay your AUD150.00 (we're in Sydney this only works in a few places) . You address the waybill to Jim Bob in Los Angeles. You leave.

Jim Bob looks up at the FedEx person and collects the package. Just in time for his 9am presentation on Monday March 7, 2005.

Now its not really time travel. The package jumps on a 2400 Knot aircraft in Sydney, gets to Los angeles in just over 2 hours in doing so it crosses the international date line and voila!!! you went back a day.

Ah!!! once again it has arisen eh Xeno..... I am wondering if expressing myself here (as oppose to there), people will think I am a mad man? Philosophy is so beautiful... OK... let me mix it up.

Ok... Nastro says you can go back into the past, but you cannot interact with it. Albert Einstein in effort to bring to mind want really is time asked; "Imagine a clock on the wall, and it says exactly 12:00. At that point you move back away from the clock at the speed of light but still looking at it. Will you ever see one second after 12?" <This is based on the notion that you see thing based on light travelling from objects to your eye. If you are moving away from the objet at the speed of light the you should not see the time change> Einstien then asked " when you eventually decide to stop what will you see?"

We see objects because light reflects from them into our eyes in a straight line. This light, within the same plane, travels outwards from the object and then eventually into outerspace. If the technology were possible to travel at the speed of light or greater (again within the same plane), then we should be able to go back and view past events. Certainly we could not interact within as they are images not existing realities.

A further point (which may even prove that you cannot go into the future) to note, is that no one has come back to our time to tell us anything. This shows that either;
1. the future has not yet existed so no one is there to come back to our time, or
2. the future exists and the come back and view us as images but cannot interact with us - Which makes absolutely no sense based on the string theory and parallel universes, or
3.Time Travel simply does not exist.


(leaving here for now...) Your thoughts.

or.......

4. The future exists and time travel is possible and has been accomplished but those who have returned choose not to interact with us.

5. The future exists and time travel is possible and has been accomplished and those who have returned have interacted with our time (a few assassinations here, a little info there) but have not revealed themselves.

lol.... I love 5. Could be true, but would there be renegades or more governmental influence?

[nigelt]

That would be depend on how easily accessible the technology is. I would imagine that such technology would be very tightly controlled, so it would probably be government agents.
