sure, so long as you just plan on going forward, one second at a time.

>>3741398

But if I'm moving really fast relative to you, one of my seconds is worth, like, a thousand of your seconds.

>>3741409
yeah, but can you move that fast?

I don't think I can.

>>3741409

See, I never got that. Time itself is not an object that you swing around - you saying "one misssipi" (time of a second) while going really fast should be the same as the person not going really fast saying "one missippi" in accordance with you.

>one second at a time
define time please

A measurement of motion.

(sigh) when I was younger I wanted time travel to be possible so badly, just so I could experience what other people went through in history. And to see what the world was like at the time other creatures roamed the Earth. During my early teens I got excited when I read books about physicists explaining how it's actually plausible. Then I got older and a bit wiser and realised it probably isn't (at least to us humans anyway).

A little known fact is that Kenyans run so fast that time relative to them is altered, and when in a sprinting race they are actually only moving at a slight jog. Racing for them is a complex notion of trying to move slowly while still looking like they are running.

Kenyans are born as humans, but through a strict diet of bovine blood and african dirt, as well as their lifestyle of hunting the elusive african Mach-cow, a cow that bounces at mach 1 from place to place, not to be confused with the Mock-cow which is actually a species of south-asian octopus.

The Kenyan's unique time-altering speed originates in their muscles, which are over 1700% fast-twitch fibers. They are prone to unique health conditions because of this. Epilepsy is 100% fatal among Kenyans, as their seizures cause them to vibrate at such speeds they phase through solid matter and are lost into the center of the earth.

For more information on Kenyans and other physics-defying minorities, inquire to your local librarian what she had for lunch.

time travel will never happen because if it does, they'd come back and tell us now wouldnt they?

Multiple universes?

time travel is already happening , do you see those multiple reports across the world of UFOs and aliens? well they arent aliens but they are human beings from the future who have evolved, these UFOs are time machines.

>>3741517

Ever notice how every UFO picture is blurry and far-focused? Ever notice how there's never actually any convincing footage of UFO's or Aliens, even after all of these decades?

That's because they're just bullshit. Don't get me wrong, there is life on other planets - but they aren't visiting this planet.

As for time travellers themselves - I see no reason why they would be flying about. I reckon if they've already discovered time travel, then they've definitely discovered invisibility/cloaking devices.

>>3741523

>I see no reason why they would be flying about.

because if you travelled a 1000 years back in time without any transport, finding a rental car service is a pain in the ass.

>>3741523
What if UFOs are light phenomena from future observers? They can't physically travel in time but exist as a blurry light objects that don't make any noise when they travel faster than sound.

>>3741512

yes I agree time travel to the past would only be possible of the multiple universe theory is correct.

>>3741529

Then that would have been described by UFO on-lookers.

In all honesty, if we somehow discover time travel in the future, but we don't end up utilizing invisibility... then we should just give as a species and kill ourselves... seriously.

We should just kill ourselves because life is way harder than that.

>>3741510
>time travel will never happen because if it does, they'd come back and tell us now wouldnt they?

Wrong.

They would have strict guidelines on not fucking up the timeline.

Plus, even if one fucker got way out of line, they could just go back in time and kill/apprehend him/her before he went back in time in the first place - thus, bringing everything back to normal.

You don't need a multiverse theory for time travel to be possible.

I dont doubt that trips to the future will happen by simply travelling around our sun in a gigantic orbit at close to light speed for a few months to accelerate time on earth by a few 100 years, but as a 1 way trip obviously.

>>3741542
>but as a 1 way trip obviously.

I disagree.

Worm holes would have something to say about that.

if time travel does happen in the future then and there is only 1 universe then our history would be full of time travellers coming back and messing things up, unless time travel was so incredibly expensive that nobody could actually afford it.

>>3741554
who says history isn't

>>3741554
i think as soon as in one universe time traveling is discovered, and someone travels, he ends in a new universe

This is my premise for time travel:

Picture the big bang, happening every millisecond. Each big bang creates a universe...

As one universe is created and lives for a millisecond, another universe begins to appear - and so and so forth.

So, for example - if you wanted to travel back 20 years, you would travel to the universe that had it's big bang happen 20 years before ours. 50 years? 100 years?

Or if you wanted to go 20 years in the future, it's the universe that had it's big bang happen 20 years after ours.

Thus, I believe there are universes that exist which harbor an earth with prehistoric animals - similar to the ones that lived on ours 65 billion years ago - and universes with a future us.

Endless big bangs, going off one millisecond after another.

If this seems "unbelievable" to you - then think about it for a second. Space is continually expanding, right? What space is it using to expand into? Or better yet, the edge of the universe that keeps expanding further and further - what is it? An invisible expanding wall? What if you traveled faster than it was expanding?

The bottom line is, if crazy shit like this is deemed reasonable to us, even without a full understanding/explanation of how it works for certain - then my theory doesn't seem so far-fetched after all.

>>3741568
that's stupid, and you should feel stupid

if time travel existed then Germany would have won World War 2 because of future help and this planet would now be a glorious well oiled machine free of disease, religion, starvation and war.

look around .. its a shithole. .. so timetravel will never happen.

>>3741554

Imagine if Jesus was just a time traveler who had a zippo lighter and a few levitation devices.

Trolling the fuck out of mankind.

Heck - imagine if our history of well known events/people were filled with just that... trolls.

>>3741570
Nope, your theory is pretty stupid.

>>3741575
Also Abraham. An angel told me to kill my son.

That should be the contrary IMHO, if you want to go back 20 years, you should go to a universe 20 yrs younger.

check mate, /sci/

>forgot the trips

>>3741619

Yeah, I meant that.

Brain-fade.

Explaining things in text pisses me off.

>>3741622

lol

>>3741622

holy shit...
