Time travel + instructions to build time machine

[z1812]

Time travel is quite possible but only to the future. Theoretically it has been proven. However we do not have the required technology at the moment. Here is a nice article from Nasa.

You combine Time Travel with the Multiverse theory and you may well travel back in time but you would not end up in your starting universe. So if you got those lottery numbers from next Saturday they would not be the winning ones for the universe you return to.

Looks kind of like a paper generated by an AI program like the "Postmodernism Generator" or something, for all I can tell.

It won't work without a DeLorean and a flux capacitor. And you'll need the Mr Fusion option.

Personally, I would never want to travel further back in time than the invention of the flush toilet and electrical grids.

It's not time travel we want. It's to see back in time.

That's actually doable: Look at the sun and you're seeing 8 minutes in the past. Look at Alpha-Centari and you're seeing 4 years in the past. Look at Andromeda and you're seeing 2.5 million years in the past.

So, what's needed is to be able to violate Einstein's law about faster than light travel. Then you put detectors out far enough to capture the light from ancient events, with enough aperture ranges to resolve those events.

Do I have enough for a patent?

You need to include a working model in order to to apply for a patent.

On the other hand, it doesn't really matter when you invent time travel - you can always travel back and patent it earlier.

You explained why you would never patent a Time Machine because someone would make a cheap knockoff and go back in time and patent it before you. This is probably why no one makes one because someone from the future comes back in time and makes your invention fail.

I'm going to go back in time and delete this thread before it starts.

Almost. Two cars it's all they need.

Or a steam engine [;)]

Where's Mr. Peabody?

[MrRoadrunner]

I was going to post up something that would solve the dilemma. But, I ran out of time.

Paper published by the Cornell University (part of the Ivy League, so I assume in theory a serious lot):

and and and...

pdf with the instructions for the time machine [:D]

I'm surprised Cornell University has not got wind of the solutions to time travel posted here. It would save them a lot of time trying to figure it out by themselves[:)]

Maybe we shouldn't call it a time machine?

I don't know why people are having problems. The time machine I am going to build in fifteen years time has always worked perfectly well. [:D]

The "time machine" design is on page 6. One singularity wire, which I believe are Cosmic strings or a Kerr ring singularity, allows FTL travel in one direction by bending space-time. The other singularity wire allows FTL travel in the opposite direction.

"A rocket capable of relativistic velocities travels along the bottom wire from Event A to Event B. The rocket will then turn around and travel back along the top wire to Event C, which has the same spatial location as Event A. We will show that it is possible for Event C to occur before Event A in frame S."

One of the authors, Caroline Mallary, was inspired by the film Interstellar.

Even I was smart enough to know they should go to the planets farthest from the singularity first even minus the tides.
