Time Travel

Of course, it is a Time Travel thing..it is just that as I mentioned (many posts earlier) we are doing a little escapade into space. In fact, we are currently testing all the possibilities of our vessel such as time-phasing and travelling into space.

 

See post 1199 Ronjor....
And, and I've just noticed that were supposed to travel
into the atmosphere only but I guess your captain was becoming
too nostalgic about space travel so I diverged a "few feet"
away from the earth, lol!

 

as time travelers here are some terms we should be famalier with

Timespeak

You and I know it as a time machine. Physicists, on the other hand, call it a "closed timelike curve."


absolute space: Newton's conception of the three-dimensional space in which we live as having a notion of absolute rest, and as having the property that the lengths of objects are independent of the motion of the reference frame in which they are measured.

absolute time: Newton's conception of time as being universal, with a unique, universally agreed upon notion of simultaneity of events and a unique, universally agreed upon time interval between any two events.

chronology protection conjecture: Stephen Hawking's conjecture that the laws of physics do not allow time machines.

curvature of space or spacetime: The property of space or spacetime that makes it violate Euclid's or Minkowski's notions of geometry; that is, the property that enables straight lines that are initially parallel to cross.

event: A point in spacetime; that is, a location in space at a specific moment of time. Alternatively, something that happens at a point in spacetime, for example, the explosion of a firecracker.

exotic material: Material that has a negative average energy density, as measured by someone moving through it at nearly the speed of light.

field: Something that is distributed continuously and smoothly in space. Examples are the electric field, the magnetic field, the curvature of spacetime, and a gravitational wave.

freely falling object: An object on which no forces act except gravity.

general relativity: Einstein's laws of physics in which gravity is described by a curvature of spacetime.

geodesic: A straight line in a curved space or curved spacetime. On the Earth's surface the geodesics are the great circles.

gravitational time dilation: The slowing of the flow of time near a gravitating body.

gravitational wave: A ripple of spacetime curvature that travels with the speed of light.

hyperspace: A fictitious flat space in which one imagines pieces of our Universe's curved space as embedded.

mouth: An entrance to a wormhole. There is a mouth at each of the two ends of the wormhole.

Newtonian laws of physics: The laws of physics, built on Newton's conception of space and time as absolute, which were the centerpiece of 19th-century thinking about the Universe.

perturbation: A small distortion (from its normal shape) of an object or of the spacetime curvature around an object.

Planck-Wheeler length: The Planck-Wheeler length (1.62 x 10-33 centimeters) is the length scale below which space as we know it ceases to exist and becomes quantum foam.

principle of absoluteness of the speed of light: Einstein's principle that the speed of light is a universal constant, the same in all directions and the same in every inertial reference frame in the absence of gravity.

quantum foam: A probabilistic foamlike structure of space that probably makes up the cores of singularities, and that probably occurs in ordinary space on scales of the Planck-Wheeler length and less.

quantum gravity: The laws of physics that are obtained by merging ("marrying") general relativity with quantum mechanics.

quantum mechanics: The laws of physics that govern the realm of the small (atoms, molecules, electrons, protons), and that also underlie the realm of the large, but rarely show themselves there.

reference frame: A (possibly imaginary) laboratory for making physical measurements, which moves through the Universe in some particular manner.

relative: Dependent on one's reference frame; different, as measured in one frame which moves through the Universe in one manner, than as measured in another frame which moves in another manner.

simultaneity breakdown: The fact that events which are simultaneous as measured in one reference frame are not simultaneous as measured in another frame that moves relative to the first.

singularity: A region of spacetime where spacetime curvature becomes so strong that the general relativistic laws break down and the laws of quantum gravity take over. If one tries to describe a singularity using general relativity alone, one finds (incorrectly) that tidal gravity and spacetime curvature are infinitely strong there. Quantum gravity probably replaces these infinities by quantum foam.

spacetime: The four-dimensional "fabric" that results when space and time are unified.

spacetime curvature: The property of spacetime that causes freely falling particles that are initially moving along parallel world lines to subsequently move together or apart. Spacetime curvature and tidal gravity are different names for the same thing.

spacetime diagram: A diagram with time plotted upward and space plotted horizontally.

special relativity: Einstein's laws of physics in the absence of gravity.

tidal gravity: Gravitational accelerations that squeeze objects along some directions and stretch them along others. Tidal gravity produced by the moon and sun is responsible for the tides on the Earth's oceans.

time machine: A device for traveling backward in time. In physicists' jargon, a "closed timelike curve."

warpage of spacetime: Same as curvature of spacetime.

world line: The path of an object through spacetime or through a spacetime diagram.

wormhole. A "handle" in the topology of space, connecting two widely separated locations in our Universe.

 

Thanks bigc for the lexicon it is always good to review them, lol!

Okay...we are now going to the Big Bang and then we will come back to earth at the very beginning of our planet....Captain will try to keep a straight course.

 

We have faith in you.

 

Pizza or hot potato?
Uguel is very puzzled!

 

I haven't noticed your answer...thanks!
Captain will do her best to satisfy crew

 

captain, just no more landing on anything that looks like food, where we are going it just might be.

I am not sure what we landed on, but, it looked like we shot out of a baked potato to me!
I was trying to learn BigC's terms and got stuck on the first few terms!!
Will try again, eh.. later... real late..r....

 

Then I had this dream?!!

 

LOL

Let's hope our computersystems won't travel back in time as well.
What does this hardware error mean: can't find cardreader

Hopefully not Fire ant Whatever would we do if that happened-would surely be disasterous

 

It sure would be disasterous. Especailly if we had to make our time calculations with this.

 

sure would--we'd use up all our time ,trying to calculate the time huh?

 

That would be quite a paradox. We would have all the time in the world and still not have enough.

 

How many abacus do we need when travelling back a few millions years

Now we're about to time-phase out but I can see
a black hole in the distance...hmmm we'd better not fall
into it...Apparently it would be very difficult to escape....
light itself cannot escape.....


"...A black hole is a region of spacetime from which
nothing can escape, even light."

Nevermind, we've got all circuits checked and we might
replace some of them with self-regulating egocentripetal
generators...They must be able to accurately produce reactance
and inductance so as to generate a smooth course.

Let see if we can time-phase now....

That is interesting ....

We will have to somehow manage to dodge those "photons of incredible energy" when we do our site-seeing tour of the Big Bang!

 

And our shields won't block them either So be extra alert.
