Times Travels Major Weakness

Hey every one i was at work and got bored, as you do. I then thought i wonder if you can really travel in time, any way i ended up at the conclusion of, if you traveled back in time 100,000 years that would be 873,600,000 hours. I now started to think if you went back to that time comes the earths orbit be diferent ? so basicly at the end of alot of thinking i thought, i you travled back in time 100,000 years could you be off your target by alot, seeing as then our orbit may not have been so close, or even further away, so theres days may of only been 12 hours long and so on.

i knwo that this post is problys hard to understand, so for those who do. Post back

No, I see what you mean, but even if the orbit were identical, it would be hard to arrive at your new time on the tiny sliver of the earth's cross-section that we live on, at the exactly perfect point on the Earth's orbit and rotation. It would be easy to arrive in the mantle somewhere, or embedded in solid rock. Very good point.

I see exactly what you are talking about. I've seen the idea before. Basically, for those who might not understand, suppose you time travel even one day into the past. You would materialize in the middle of outer space, and the Earth would be the distance of a days travel along its orbit away from you.

So, you might ask, what if you could somehow time travel exactly one year, or any number of years, down to the exact nanosecond. Same thing happens. You land in vacuum because the Sun is orbiting the center of the galaxy, and you will miss the Earth by quite literally an 'astronomical' distance. Add to that the fact that our galaxy is also moving, and well... you get the idea.

If you time travel, you had better have a way to teleport or move really fast, or else take into account space travel in your computations. Alternately, if you could calculate things just so, you could take a ship into outer space, to a location where the Earth will be (for the future) or was (for the past) and then time travel, and land on Earth.

I think that they factor in the differences. It would be strange though to time travel back and end up as a part of some mountain. Remember the guys that participated in the Philadelphia experiment? They ended up re- materializing stuck in the different parts of the ship. Chilling.

Well if you started the trip just find a spot in space that is away from everything and then you would end back up there. All you have to do then is find your way back to earth.

im not sure if you follow or believe the "titor story". but he claimed that this feat was conquered by using a gravity detector. the device would not deviate away from the planet.


moving in a different direction> why must timetravel be that linear. all one needs to traverse through time is the ability to alter time. surely that could(hypothetically) be done "with" the interactions of the surrounding environment, in other words as you travel you can still maintain your position by maintaining friction with the ground.

im not totally convinced that timetravel is a point-vector situation. if timetravel can be done it can be done while movement is in flux.

EDIT: IMHO

But couldnt you then end up in a black hole, they got the strongest gravitional pull, i think. Or in the nothingness of space, theres some gravity there just not alot.

personally if "I" were to develop such a device i would give it the software to lock on to which ever gravity field i set it to. or if thats not possible i would give it a proximity gauge and then that would force the device(through trajectory corrections) to stay near the already present gravity field. easier said than done id assume :bnghd:




and i would avoid getting to close to super blackholes in the first place
