Time Travel - closer than we Think

Physicists even have the engineering specs for how to then turn a wormhole into a time tunnel. Anchor one mouth in the present -- say, Nov. 21, 2010. Drag the other mouth through space at nearly the speed of light, until Nov. 21, 2011. Moving objects age more slowly than stationary ones, according to relativity. If you hop inside the wormhole, therefore, you could travel to any point in time in-between, back to 2010.

I am not sure this link will work for everyone. Anyways, anything new on the case of time travel is always a interesting topic.

This might be off topic but i remmember a school in california teleporting a particle from one end of a specific chamber (which name escapes me). Can teleporting larger objects, then perhaps teleporting through time be far behind?

Well if you believe in the Philadelphia Experiment we are about 60 years behind.

"Allegedly, in the fall of 1943 a U.S. Navy destroyer was made invisible and teleported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Norfolk, Virginia, in an incident known as the Philadelphia Experiment. Records in the Operational Archives Branch of the Naval Historical Center have been repeatedly searched, but no documents have been located which confirm the event, or any interest by the Navy in attempting such an achievement."

An Australian University was the first to teleport something, it was only light but they didn't have any stuff ups, plus the US army can already teleport stuff (halflife)

well ya, thats true and i do, but i mean documented, repeatable teleportation

the school you're talking about is Caltech

Thankyou Dreamz i knew it was either Caltech or Berkely.

I thought they didnt actually teleport the light, just got it to uhhh, i forgot, like move so fast it got there before it left or whatever? i forgot, i read something about this a while ago
oh well

An interesting interview on the subject from Scientific American:

Originally, the burden of proof was on physicists to prove that time travel was possible. Now the burden of proof is on physicists to prove there must be a law forbidding time travel.

Great read. Thanks for the link. I love Q & A's like these.

That's right, Australian Scientists transported a beam of light 2-3 yrs ago. It was 'The First' teleport ever.

Do you have a link to the article that specifically is related to the Aussies?

Thank You,

Here's the link:

It is a long way from Star Trek, but teleportation - the disembodiment of an object in one location and its reconstruction in another - has been successfully carried out in a physics lab in Australia.
Scientists at the Australian National University (ANU) made a beam of light disappear in one place and reappear in another a short distance away.

The achievement confirms that in theory teleportation is possible, at least for sub-atomic particles; whether it can be done for larger systems, such as atoms, remains to be seen.

Everything I have studied on this topic tells me that the energy of the singularities would have to be equal if not greater than the energy a star puts out. So like I said in another thread, unless we bottle the North Star we have a ways to go.

Now if we follow the theory of John Titor, which is really amazing at how intelligent he was on this topic, it would take "2" Singularities and under 500lbs. Who knows whats real anymore?

I'm not sure if John Titor is for real or not. He seems a bit far fetched to me. If he was willing to give out some kind of 'Solid' proof i'd be far more prone to believing what he says. Is he afraid that what we think may change history? If so, is that possible?

I am not sure he is real or not either, but his story ha fascinated me recently. His level of divergance seems to make me think he is a fraud, yet proves to me it is possible. I agree solid proof wouldve been nice, but if we arent in a all out civil war by 2005-2008 at the latest, his info is screwed and we will know he was a hoax.

Would we be able to change the future, I guess we will never know until we reach the time of time traveling. The grandfather paradox is what you refer to, and many scientists argue over this. I am not one of those people, so I really have no clue.

Seems like a really interesting prospect.
