Astrophysicist Says He Knows How to Build a Time Machine.

[Thermistor]

Astrophysicist Ron Mallett believes he’s found a way to travel back in time — theoretically.

The tenured University of Connecticut physics professor recently told CNN that he’s written a scientific equation that could serve as the foundation for an actual time machine. He’s even built a prototype device to illustrate a key component of his theory — though Mallett’s peers remain unconvinced that his time machine will ever come to fruition.

To understand Mallett’s machine, you need to know the basics of Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity, which states that time accelerates or decelerates depending on the speed at which an object is moving.

Note:knowing how to build something is far from being able to build thing.


Even Mallet concedes that his idea is wholly theoretical at this point. And that even if his time machine does work, he admits, it would have a severe limitation that would prevent anyone from, say, traveling back in time to kill baby Adolf Hitler.

Maybe they built a time machine, went back into the past, changed the future, and in the process, erased themselves from the history, and that meant that the machine was then not built, which then reset the past back to how it was, which meant they came back, and managed to build the machine and went back to Change the past..... You know what, we'll never know...

faster than light first before they tell us about time travel and the like

Even just equal to the speed of light

Nothing travels faster than light. You have to dispute that first before you build a physical object that travels through space.

He is insane because time travel is impossible

Nothing travels faster than light

That's just a theory. No facts or real physics theory to back it up.

So theoretically speaking,a younger version of me is being whooped by his mum for showering in the rain......ouch

When you think about it, time travel is an indication that nothing you ever do truly matters since the past and future can just be modified anyway.

Quantum entanglement is a thing my friend

He is insane because time travel is impossible

According to Einstein, to the past is not possible and consequently that's why we haven't been visited by people from the future, but time travel to the future is possible.

Lemme try and ELI5 it. If say you were to leave earth and travel at speeds approaching light speed,time in your spaceship would move slower RELATIVE to those on earth. Ukienda for what is say 5 earth years to you, earthlings would have say lived some 20 years (the numbers are arbitrary). So technically you'd come back to earth in 2020 (assuming 2000 marked your departure) while looking like your 2005 self. So you'd have gone to 2020 instead of your 2005 hence you have time traveled to the future since you are in 2020 instead of 2005. Hope it makes sense
