Note: (this will only let you go further in time slover than others)


Step 1: Go into space (with an atomic clock for proof)just near enough to a black hole to be highly effected by its gravity without getting sucked in(be careful lol)

Step 2: Stay there for a sufficant amount of time.

Step 3: Go back to Earth where there is another atomic clock.

Step 4: Make history.

foxyman, explain how this would prove time travel.

Time travel is possible, here is how:

1) Buy a clock.
2) Make sure it's accurate.
3) Take out the batteries.
4) Wait an hour.
5) Compare it to another clock.
6) Be afraid. Be very afraid.

That proves that time is relative, and not on a timeline. It does not, however, prove you can travel through it.

Thanks for saying exactly what the OP did.

Ok, go test it then. You understand that there is no near a blackhole. If you were going to use its effects, you would be within its pull.

Thats not at all what it said. They didnt say spend 500 mil, and risk your life did they?

Same concept, same title, same usage.

It was hypothetical. Also, you don't need to go near a black hole. Again, read the Hafele-Keating experiment.

If you were near enough to a black hole to epirence its affects, you would be within its gravitational pull, and would be pulled down into the black hole. And as nothing ever escapes a black hole, no scientific community, no matter how rich, would waste any money to perform this experiment.

Another way to to live for thousands of years, if this is considered time travel

1. get a epic light spped spaceship
2. get in
3. go lightspeed for like 2 years away from earth
4. go lightspeed for like 2 years back to earth
5. you will be about 20 years in the future.

idk how it works, but it was on NOVA.

That's called flying around the world in different directions. If you keep going around the world in one direction, it might seem like time would be different, but that was the world spinning 'round. Even then, the experiment could't be proven true, because no matter what happens, the experiment would be always consistent with time and all of the events that happened between when they left and when they got back they wouldn't know about anyway. The experiment is irrelevant.

They have used atomic clocks to measure time onboard the planes and on the ground and have shown that the measurements change and agreed with relativistic predictions. It proves time dilation by gravity and relative speed. Bored of the present? Why not travel at 90% the speed of light and skip ahead to the future, although we are not at that stage...

That's called being ignorant. It proves that time is relative and not on a timeline. You were too lazy to see what the result was, or if you did, you just skimmed it and thought you understood it.

It is the same concept. It proves that if you go fast, time seems to slow down because you can go farther in a shorter period of time. It proves the theory of relativity.

Yes, but it doesn't work that way exactly. The future is relevant to who is in it. If you are the man in the plane, the future for you is the present. But if you are the man on the ground, than the present for you is the past of the man on the plane. You can't just go on a plane at high speeds and be in the future, I mean you will, relative to the people on the ground, but only by a few seconds if not minutes.

I don't see the problem, my point was that you can travel at high speeds and wait for some nasty people to die off or wait for some marvel invention and then land and it wouldn't take as long to wait while moving as waiting while stationary for you

Well when I said 90% the speed of light I wasn't thinking planes.

There is no problem, but you can't exactly "travel" through the future.

Obviously. Let's think of trains lol

Actually for the form of time travel your proposing this is all you would need to do to achieve it. Though you wouldn't travel very far ahead.

Traveling on light speed is not that we are traveling to our own future, But to reach the highest speed on this universe we can get. I just want to say the travel on time is not travel at the speed of light or faster then light. It is the thing that we made a path into a dimension which takes us to our future or our past...

Replying to the lightspeed thing
You move on the earth
The earth is spinning
The earth move around the sun
The sun move around the center of the galaxy
The galaxy is moving too
= you're moving very fast
= your life lasts some seconds more than what it should last at absolute immobility
:O
You can travel in time!
