I read that quantum physicists now believe that if time travel is possible that it is impossible to change history..
So if you went back to assasinate somebody like Hitler it would be possible to go to that point in time but not kill him. Any experts on here ? |

"So you mean, one could go back in history and only observe? "
I think that's what it means.. I think it means that if you go back in time and Kill Hitler then he would be dead the first time...if that makes sense |

Ahhh....now I see where you’re coming from; time is not ultimately changed, rather it was always ordained. The present and future therefore are never set in stone (if time travel were possible and the traveller visited the past).

Kind of yes, kind of sounds like what is being proposed is that you would almost be an "inter dimensional being" maybe that cannot interact with anything around you??  |

I was just talking about this in another thread.
When you go 'back in time', you are still in your present, and your future is still your future.
So if you do something, you are affecting your future and not your past.
So you could kill Hitler, not that wouldn't change the atrocities that he had done in your past, only stop him from doing them in your future. |

That could be a way of describing it.. I think it also means that it must be on a loop. So if you go back in time to kill someone and succeed that that person would be killed by you anyway.. |

Yeah, I get it now, from the fella couple posts up. |

Time travel paradoxes are always complicated. If you go back to kill Hitler, then Hitler didn't exist, so then in the future you wouldn't be going back to kill Hitler because Hitler didn't exist.
Also if you go back and kill Hitler, then maybe that change would mean time travel wasn't invented, so how did they go back and kill Hitler. |

If this stuff interests you check out the Block Universe theory (explained pretty well here: https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2018-09-02/block-universe-theory-time-past-present-future-travel/10178386) |

You couldn’t interact be noticed or be seen if you where, it would change the fabric of time and create a new time line..
because of the change your original time line would not exist a new time and existence would be created and you would basically be a photocopy of yourself there would still be a you in that new time line but not you.... you get what I mean |

Because the past has already happened you wouldn't be able to change anything.
Say you went back to 1942 then in 1942 you have already appeared and whatever you did there has already happened.
But that would also mean that you are 'destined' to go back in time to 1942 - so is the present and future already set in stone? |

As I mentioned in my comment, killing Hitler would not affect your past. He was still alive then and so you would still go back in time to kill him. It is only in your current present that he is dead.
The passage of time is just an illusion. |

There's lots of theories on time travel.
The butterfly effect.
Paradoxes.
.
A scary thought - you got back in time and kill Hitler only for an even worse person to come to power and make your 'now' present even worse. |

Here’s a question: If I go back in time and inadvertently manage to get eaten by a T-Rex for instance, will I never have existed in the present in the first place? 
Or will I instantly respawn back here COD style at the moment just before I travelled back? |

?? butterfly effect or ripple effect with time change would start with a drop and turn into a wave any singular change would change every aspect of time we live in
Deep convo init but very interesting |

You would be trapped in that circle to go back in time and get eaten |

Also on time travel if you think of it every time we look at the stars we are looking into the past..
the light from them stars has taken years to travel here that star might not even exist anymore and we don’t know it because the light is still traveling |

So we know time travel is possible , times just another dimension like up down forward and backward , satellites travel time by orbiting so far away from the earths centre of gravity which is why we have to reset them 6 microseconds or something each year , but humans can’t do it , because we have to spin them round so fast their heads blow up ..... so we will never know |

So in that case... maybe it is possible. They have invented it. Realised they can’t change anything so it’s pointless and stopped using it.
So now they are inventing something really useful that isn’t dependent so on 88MPH |

Nope. You'll just be dead.
Just because you are in what you perceive to be the past, it is still your present.
Think of time like another direction.
If you walk over a bridge and then walk back, does that mean you never walked over it in the first place?
If you then killed yourself, would you suddenly reappear on the other side of the bridge?
No. Same with time.  |

The twelve monkeys is a great way to explain time travel.
Bruce Willis gets sent back in time to finish out what caused 'the twelve monkeys' only time realise that it was him that caused it.
If he hadn't gone back in time it would never have happened.
Spooky.

Yes, both only the Hitler that is in your future, not the Hitler that is in your past.
So it wouldn't affect your past and wouldn't get rid of the atrocities he did in the past, but it would stop him doing them in the future. |

There's a good Netflix series on time travel that refers to and uses much of what has been said in this thread. It does get complex but it's well worth watching and quite thought provoking. |

If I breathed and consumed anything whilst in the past, this should surely br changing the past itself. All of those molecules that would have gone on to become incorporated within other parts of our world, including within other lifeforms, would get hijacked and incorporated inside my body, for example, then brought back to the present day. I could drink some milk that would have become someone else's bone but instead became mine - then that Calcium got transported into the future.
If you have changed things at a molecular level, even though it's not killing a person in the past, it's still made changes, surely |

This thread has done what often happens when discussing quantum mechanics and time. It is easier to discuss the terms of time and the (im)practicalities of narrative causality than get your head around the fact that every chuffing particle is connected and communicates with every other one. There is not present or past only a progressive series of now's, but then HTF do humans make sense of it.
Keeping the two opposite possibilities in your head is why any mention of q***tum has me reaching for a colouring book.

Think of time as a coffee mug if you go back in time and change something in the past it has a rippling effect and the coffee mug breaks. But if you went to repair the change that was made you would still be in a new timeline. The anecdote is even if you repair a smashed coffee mug there would still be cracks where there would be changes. |

That stuff with satellites isn't time travel, it is simply that time is relative. Time on board a satellite passes at a different rate to us - in fact time passes slower for you if you're running than if you sit still, it's just that the effect is so ridiculously small there is no way to notice it. The faster you travel relative to an observer, the slower time passes for you relative to them. However, it still passes in the same direction, it hasn't reversed, neither you nor the satellite are gong back in time.
Relativity says time travel is not possible, the faster you go the slower time passes but the more massive (heavy) you become. The more mass you have the more energy is required to accelerate you. When you reach the speed of light time (for you) stops but the energy required to accelerate you is now infinite, more than all the energy in the universe. If you could find the energy and go faster in theory time would start to go backwards for you (but not for an outside observer). Time being relative has interesting effects (like having to adjust the clocks on GPS satellites) but it doesn't offer much hope for time travel.
Disclaimer - I'm not a physicist and I'm probably talking nonsense. |

If you're okay with subtitles, i found it better to watch with the german audio and english subs - the dubbing to english is not great and for me the voices didn't seem a good match to the characters. |

I'm no expert. In fact I don't really have a clue what I'm doing with this time travel business. I mainly get all my information from Ziggy but I often get the impression that ziggy is being a little on the coy side with the details. |

I would think it would open up a new string in the time traveller's timeline. So their past and their past future stats the same, but their new future changes. In their new future they can kill Hitler and he be dead and will stay dead if they live out that timeline. If they instead go back to where they came from then things will be the same as when they left because they are returning to their old string. Make sense? Lol  |

In one of Michio Kakus books, he went to explain about possible multiverses. As we are faced with many many choices each day - simple example being, get out of bed or not. What if both choices happened and split realities occurred or different time line sort of thing. Imagine that happening with every little choice we make. So if there ever was the ability to time travel in this instance, you would not only be travelling to a different time, but also just one version of a reality..
I've probably absolutely butchered his work there, but that is kind of the jist, hard to get head around, but thought experiments can be fun |

Fair points and I get the can and cannot change the past argument and how it affects the future.
I love Physics and technically time travel would fall under Astrophysics and Cosmology and not quantum physics.
The idea I'm working on is geometrical mapping the universe in such a way that we can glimpse the past by the geometric positions of certain bodies in the Universe.
I'm sure some of you might have heard that right now if an observer were a couple billion light years away they would be viewing planet earth billions of years ago, which is basically glimpsing into the past. Now this is a fact, when you see stars in the sky at night, what you're actually seeing might be a supernova and depending on how far it is from our solar system, as you know every system has a star at it's center making it the largest celestial object which the other objects, planets and moons orbit. So that star we see has taken millions and in some cases billions of years to reach us here on earth thus at that time the star might have already become a neutron star or a black hole.
So using this concept and whenever the technology allows for it, there is the possibility of using those various points on the universe (please note I'm not saying the galaxy) to view specific periods of time. One can calculate this and again when the technology is available it is possible by using this technique of geometrically mapping the galaxy to indeed glimpse the past and time travel.
Now I can go more in depth about time being technically the 4th dimension and thus for an observer to view us and time in that fashion ( a linear fashion) we could find ourselves with even more dimensions than our brain can compute, that's one of the genesis ideas of string theory.
But I've rambled on a lot. As some of you might know I'm a writer, but I have always had a passion for Maths and Physics and the late great Sir Stephen Hawkings is my childhood role model (read 2 of his books when I was 14) so I do study and read and research and formulate my own ideas in these fields, including black holes and the concept of time itself. When I'm finished with my current Master's I intend to finish my degree in Maths and Physics and get a PhD in Theoretical Physics focusing on of course Astrophysics and Cosmology.
The point of post wasn't to sway the argument here or there but to show you a theoretical method to view time in the past, and thus prove that some aspect of Time Travel does exist and btw the theory holds up well with Einstein's theory or relativity in case you were wondering.
Anyway happy to make a contribution and it is wonderful to see topics like these.
Have a lovely day ladies and gents. |

"Fair points and I get the can and cannot change the past argument and how it affects the future.
I love Physics and technically time travel would fall under Astrophysics and Cosmology and not quantum physics.
The idea I'm working on is geometrical mapping the universe in such a way that we can glimpse the past by the geometric positions of certain bodies in the Universe.

We already know the theory holds up , time dilation has been repeatedly proven with satellites |

You're talking about something else bruv, I'm not talking GPS systems and the time difference from the atmosphere to the surface and having to account for that when using satellites. Re-read carefully what I wrote, any thing you need cleared up, hit me up. What I'm talking about is actually viewing the passage of time from different celestial bodies outside of our solar system, some outside of our galaxy.
Not trying to be disrespectful, but I really don't like ppl misinterpret my Scientific ideas. Have a lovely day and like I said any questions feel free to inbox me, cheers |
