I have had a theory about time and space travel, an example..

if you look at a star and it takes 75 years for that light to hit your eyes you are basically seeing 75 years into the past........now if you move away from that star at the speed of light in your eyes have you stopped time from your point of view? you are seeing
the same light and it isnt advancing past you. In order for you to go back in time and be in
the past you must travel faster than the speed of light away from a point but fold space in front of you faster than you are traveling away from said point. If that makes any sensehttp://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/wacko1.gif
I agree thats the only way i can understand that traveling faster then light put you in the past.

If u could travel faster then light could look at yourself doing something u might have done years before, that would be pretty weird.

Found this topic when searching for String theory i kinda like it beats bible theory[rofl]

They aren't mutually exclusive.

Why? Scared of the thought?

I really believe it's possible to exceed the speed of light because there is a law that states everything is possible because you can't prove something that hasn't occur. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/smile1.gif

Anyway, according to Einstein only objects with mass would require infinite amount of energy but what about building a space ship without mass then? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/wink1.gif
Well that's how Star Trek does it, the warp drive reduces the mass of the enterprise. But IIRC some scientist worked it out a few years ago that to actually do this would require most of the energy in the universe.

But if you come up good way of doing it, I am all ears. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/biggrin1.gif

I suppose you're right - but you still can't travel back/forwards in time. That one will still continue to bother me.
You need to expand you mind and think out of the box, try this video on for size:

I bumped into that a while ago.... and was intrigued until I realized the guy has the scientific credentials of a Gerbil. Seems to be a sort of scientology type thingy. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/unsure1.gif

There ideas about dimension is interesting but i am not a believer, but its still all guess work, maybe its just my third dimension mind set.

Thnx for the video, i never remember text but video's always work[thumbup]

You can travel in time, if you travel at 90% of the speed of light off in a direction and then came back you would have aged much less than those on Earth.

However it pans out, surely we are going to have to find a way of traveling faster than light if we even want to consider exploring our galaxy, let alone the universe.

I can't recall exactly what I was watching on the Discovery Channel but on this program they had identified this planet which could possibly support/host life, this planet is considered our closest possibility of finding life and is a mere ([surrender]) 100 light years away. Tiny in the scheme of things though.

So even if we could travel through space at the speed of light it would take us 100 years to get there... and this is our closest relative!

I always thought this video explained it pretty well

I was reading this: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog...ier_redux.html Which makes a pretty bleak case that space colonization will never happen.
