    Time travel is a staple of science fiction stories, but is it actually possible? It turns out nature does allow a way of bending time, an exciting possibility suggested by Albert Einstein when he discovered special relativity over one hundred years ago. Colin Stuart imagines where (or, when) this fascinating phenomenon, time dilation, may one day take us.

    Time dilation and time travel are not the same thing. Time dilation is real and that basically means that the RATE that time is experienced within a reference frame can be changed by simply traveling at a higher velocity. Time travel suggests that it's possible to instantly "jump" to any point in time in the past or future and as far as we understand it's impossible. The problem with the past and the future is that neither exists, the past has given way to the present and the future is yet to unfold.

    • @openSUSE5
      @openSUSE5 8 років тому +22

      +dutchrjen I understand exactly how the Lorentz equations work and I was waiting for someone to mention the problem with "simultaneous" events. What I was trying to say is that even though light travels at a certain speed, past events are not preserved in the universe in a way that we could "rewind" the tape and revisit them. A record is kept through light waves and spacial distance, sure, but those are only photons. I'm also leaving out any wormhole theories and multiverse theories.
      Also, we consider the inertial reference frame to be the "correct" frame.

      maybe the past ,present , and future all exists at the same time . Imagine someone travels so fast that his time goes faster than ours by a day . The "now "he sees will be our tomorrow or "future " what we consider as our now will be already in his past . but what he saw in his past is in our present , and what he sees now is in our future , then they all happens simultaneously

      Actually, all you have to do to travel into the past is just to surpass the speed of light.
      That’s why most physicists don’t believe faster-than-light travel is possible.
      And be aware of one thing: even if you can meet your mother in the past, it’s extremely unlikely that this girl will actually become your mother! ☝️🤓

      Time dilation is the change in perception of time relative to someone or something else. Time travel would be the ability to move back and forth. Sadly this is not possible because "time" doesn't exist, its a perception or measurement. Its an invention created by humans to understand the present. The past and future simply doesn't and never will exist.

You know how we can see supernovas and other cosmic events that occurred millions of years ago due to the speed light travels at? If you somehow positioned yourself 200 light years away and had a super accurate telescope and camera, you could technically see what was going on in 1820.

    • @willkettle4768
      @willkettle4768 8 років тому +21

      This is a great question, but no. You won't reverse time. As you reach the speed of light, time will continuously slow down until it is infinitely slowed. If you go past the speed of light you need the time dilation equation (look it up). If you go faster than the speed of sound (140%) The dilation equation will give us a negative square root. This is when you will be in (imaginary time) and actually time will start to speed up until it's normal. So for an example if your ship goes at 200% of the speed of light and you take a one year journey, when you return to Earth only about 7 months have gone by. Hope this helped :)

    To travel backwards in time, you'd need to invent instant teleportation between two anchors that can be physically carried around. Send one anchor into space on a round trip that turns around when it's 4 light years away, at a speed of, say for instance, 80% the speed of light. When the two portal anchors rendezvous on Earth, the one that stayed on Earth will have aged 10 years, but the one that went through space will only have aged 6 years. The two anchors will be close together in space, but 4 years apart in time. By entering the 6-year-old portal anchor, you will emerge from the other anchor 4 years ago. You have a working time machine, but you can't go further back in time than when you created the time machine in the first place.

      That wouldn't be time travel, you'd just have two teleportation devices with different ages. One 6 years old and the other 10years old. Let's say the year you invented both anchors is 2012 and you sent one out into space for 10years. It's now 2022, one anchor is 10 years old and when the other comes back, it's 6 years old. If you teleported between one to the other, the year would still be 2022. You wouldn't be moving through time, just space. Interesting theory though, there might be something to it as far as wormholes go.

    I have a question about time travel.
    If you were to time travel, suppose, in 1990. And you went back to 1990 but the position
    of earth at that time will be somewhere else in the universe, because earth is actually moving and so is the solar system and so is our galaxy . So you will just end up somewhere in space and suffocate yourself to death. So isn't it actually a big risk to just time travel, you would have to travel through space too.

Because not only the planet, but also the galaxy would spin during your travels. You would end up way far away. (If you have enough power to time travel, though, flying across the solar system shouldn't be that huge of a deal.)The real trick is making sure you don't end up INSIDE a planet or whatnot at the end of your travels. Because then, there would be all of your molecules intersecting with all of the planet's molecules, and it might have a slight tendency to always explode horrendously.Moral of the story: time travel is more of a hassle than mere time travel.

    I'm confused about this video. If you replaced that bouncing ball with the light beam (like they showed in the video), the shape of the photon's path would not be triangular like the ball's path, but instead, it would be straight back and forth, regardless of perspective. By simply moving horizontally in a vehicle, you cannot add this lateral velocity to a photon. It will always travel at C. Jack in his moving train will emit that photon from his light and that same photon will not bounce back in a triangular fashion, but in a straight back-and-forth motion, thus it will miss the higher mirror and continue its journey into space.. I need help with this one!

      See but that's the thing, the future hasn't happened yet, we are the future, so until we go back and make it happen, we won't see any time travelers. We haven't invented it yet so therefore there is no way to go to and from, because it hasn't happened. Like in the video, time traveling wouldn't be just being able to go forward and backward, but it would be like you blinking and 10 years has passed because of how fast you were going in relation to space and time. You're not skipping anything, you're just hitting the fast forward button. You still exist in the universe, so your disappearance in the present would lead to your arrival in the future, obviously taking mere seconds for you, and however long the conversion is by how fast you are going is for them.

      Some ideas of time travel that I have read would suggest that travel would only be possible from and to the point in time where the first time machine was created. Say it was like wormhole time travel, and one end was set in the year 2020. There would be no physical time travel object existing before the year 2020, so this would be the earliest year possible to travel back to (and potentially, this date will be gradually moving forward also)

      It's theoretically possible to travel back in time, you just need to go so fast that you arrive in a location before you leave. It sounds impossible, but people have actually designed machines that can do this. Unfortunately, they cannot be built with current technology.
      Also, the only one that doesn't require materials we don't know how to procure, would span the width of the observable universe. I doubt we'll ever want to build that.
      So, in a way you're right; it is impossible to build one, but only because we'd first need to do different impossible things...

    I'm just going to propose something that I'm not sure has already been thought of or not but. Time travel, if possible, would be some very tricky business. I don't even want to comprehend how it would be done but, if it were done, I think it would be like this. I've heard people talk about a timeline, like a literal line of time, a line that someone can move backward on or forward. If this is true, I don't think it would be possible at all to travel in the future because it simply hasn't happened yet and because everything that happens, regarding people's actions, completely relies on their decisions which can change because we're all unpredictable when it comes down to what time we wake up to the second, what we eat, what we wear. However, since the past was a complicated sequence of events that already happened, you would be able to travel back in time because its known. Once you do travel though, the present or, the future, (considering that you're now in the past) would be different regardless of any change you made because of the simple act of time traveling in the first place. Again, idk if this has already been proposed or thought of before, it's pretty likely considering all the people who have thought about time travel but, just looking to have a discussion.

    There is also gravitational time-dilation - clocks 'tick' faster further 'down' in a gravity well than those far above it.
    I heard that some pre-Moon-landing Apollo astronauts experienced this kind of slower-time-for-them-compared-to-us-on-Earth because of a significant amount of time spent in a region where the attraction from the Earth and the attraction from the Moon cancel each other out. (Of course, the spacecraft, along with the Earth & Moon, were all still orbiting around the Sun.)

      There is no way a human could experience the difference of time flow. We experience only our own time, and there is no way our mind could compare that to the time flow in other places. We experience every minute as a minute, but other people experience that minute as a minute too. It's not a difference in experience, it's a difference of test results. Tests say that less time passed in stronger gravity. But those guys can have no way to actually feel it in a way. Only after they see clocks that show different times, they understand that time did flow differently, but still they could not feel it.

Because B after traveling in jet in high speed and large distance saw A back after constant time is same (think C measuring in absence of gravity or ideal place). It means A is not viewing any body's future when they compare the measurement at ground where B stays. What A sees will be seen by B and everyone (both are at one place). May be Gravity changes the measurement. At the time of rotation, do we have any method or derivation that how A looking B, everyone & everything and how B looking A & everything. We can compare the viewing enhancement from C and may tell whether A or B went future or past respectively. A may be in up or down excitement when he comes back to normal for some time.

      +ZomifiedHam The universe is predetermined, that is a fact of physics. When our Sun reaches its end and implodes into it self it wont be some random event, it will be reaction of the laws that were created billions of years ago at the second when the big band happend. Same goes for everything in the universe including us. The past future can't be experienced at the same time that is why a thing from the future cant exsist in the past nothing to do with predeterminsm.

    The problem with this is distance. How do we travel at lightspeed without moving, effectively allowing time around us to progress, while we wait for decades to pass intstantly? The best solution is to become a permanent memory, with a mechanism that resurrects us at a predetermined interval. Or, a long looping wormhole through space that begins and ends at particular point.

    just for the record, i'm rewatching heroes, and it's got to the episode where hiro nakamura has to ditch the princess and get back to work, and i was thinking, heck, he can stay with the princess for as long as he likes and still return to the point in time that he left - only he can't - he will be older. if he stays with the princess for an hour maybe that's okay, he can return to the point he left and no one the wiser, but if he stays with the princess a week, a month, a year, ten years, he is getting closer to his appointment with death, he is getting older. which requires the question, what happens to the time traveller while "in time"? if metabolism stops at the point of departure - he won't be able to move, he will be locked in that split second of leaving, if he gets older, the nwhat if he doesn't return to his own ime, he's extra material to the universe he visits, if he can't get back the the point of departure there will be no balance. just thinking out loud mr tube.

    i just had a doubt that jack and jill doesnt see the same speed becuase here comes the relative speed concept.........jil is seeing the ball move faster as the velocity of ball that jack sees is with respect to train that is 1.2 where as the velocity which jil sees is with respect to ground whcih is 4.2,so we can conclude that velocity of train is 4.2-1.2=3 that is jil is adding the velocity of train as well to the ball and jack is seeing the ball's real velocity that is 1.2 metre/s........hence we ca conclude that time taken by the ball to displace in the train is=distance covered by the ball in tain/real velocity of ball where as if we talk about jil,it is displacement covered by train+displaceent covered by ball in 1 bounce/4.3m/s

    Ok just to clarify a point at the beginning the astronaut DID NOT travel into the future faster then us into the future that doesn't really make any sense if I remember my college physics, it's much more accurate to say his clock relative to us changed moving forward where we actually were moving at a rate slower then him experiencing time differently. He wasn't actually moving into the future faster then us we just were moving slower then him. I know that might sound a bit silly but It's an important distinction I think to make especially in a education video :)

    What if time is bounced between two mirrors in a train that moves at twice the speed of light. Then I think the light can be seen travelling faster than the speed of light because the speed of light in the situation is relative to the person sitting there but not the actual speed of light with which it is bouncing.

    i have been thinking about this and i dont mean to sound like a know it all and i dont expect that i am right but here it is. if traveling round the world at FAST speeds makes time taken different between people on earth and the one in space, all we have to do is get to the speed of light.
    now scientists are teleporting atoms across hundreds of miles between computers by scaning the atom and converting it into computer data(destroyin the original atom) and another computor using the data to create an identical atom.
    if the same could happen to humans, we could find a way to convert human atoms into light, to then travel along tubes that go under the earths crust and let the light go round until we want to take the light data and use tecknology to reasemble the human being maby ten or twenty years in the future, with the said human thinking the trip was instantainious.

      This sounds really cool, but to reach the speed of light, I believe that particle cannot have any mass. I'm no expert on the topic either, but I'm not sure if this is plausible. Maybe if we had a spacecraft which could reach incredible speeds and sent it to a distant galaxy or something and a large planet or star had enough gravity to change the direction of the spacecraft back to Earth, that could be cool. A person's year on the spacecraft could be decades here on Earth.

    • @blasttrash

      I believe teleportation is the kind of word you are looking for. Well we don't even need light speed for that in initial stages, the main problem here is that its impossible to break or re-assemble human data as of now. Its trillions and trillions of units of information which even the best supercomputers today cannot handle. And even if we were to achieve this kind of scifi thing in the future we wont be traveling at the speed of light but beyond it in a way. Since the shortest distance between two points in space is not a straight line but instead its zero as shown in movies like event horizon or interstellar. :D

    • @muricanman5802
      @muricanman5802 9 років тому

      you are correct teleportation is in our age physically impossible not only because of the units of info but also because we would have to dismantle ourselves to the particle then reassemble ourselves in a different place would kill us now however there is supposed to be these small portals opening around earth every 4.5 seconds that last for about 0.0006712 seconds or something like that but we have had satellites dissapear as they hit orbit these portals are apparently created by magnetic fields around the earth and the sun creating tiny wormholes if so if the human race could create one and make sure it went where they wanted it to we could create time travel and teleportion

    The only thing I don't understand is how special and general relativity both work together. In other words, you could just as easily say that the jack and the train were still, while jill and the surface of the earth rushed by. There is no such thing as absolute velocity, its all relative. So how do you know who is really traveling faster?

    • @Toastmaster_5000
      @Toastmaster_5000 10 років тому

      i'm guessing its based on whoever is exposed to the greatest change in energy, and, whoever has the shorter recorded time lapse. since jack was in an object that required energy to push him, and, since his recorded time would be shorter than jill's, that's what made him travel faster.

    • @sephwizzard
      @sephwizzard 10 років тому +1

      You are both wrong. What you have to understand is that, physics accepts as reality what can be observed and tested. In order to observe, you need to have an observer, which in the example given we have two observers. The problem comes when both observers have differente results from what it seems to be the same situation. This situation is much more complicated than it seems, it actually has everything to do with quantum physics. There are TWO results to the SAME experiment from TWO different observers, it all comes down to the question: "How can we know if we are the observers ?"

    • @TheACG22
      @TheACG22 10 років тому

      That doesn't answer my question though... What I want to know is that if two people go by each other at some significant fraction the speed of light, which one will age more? While each observer might have a different experience, the end result must agree. It's not like they each age more than the other...

    • @UndoneFakeJesu
      @UndoneFakeJesu 10 років тому

      Austin Geary There has been a lot of discussion about how motion must be determined. Relativity explains motion as relative motion to other objects. This is of course a bit problematic, because we could always argue about the relative directions. If you have water in a bucket, and you start spining the bucket, you'll see that:
      1. The bucket is still, and the water is still. Neither move relatively.
      2. The bucket starts spinning, but the water is still still. Now the bucket moves relatively to the water.
      3. The water gains speed. Both the bucket and the water spin with the same speed. Thus, they have no relative speed. The water's edge rises up, and the middle of the surface goes lower. You know that.
      4.We start to slow down. The bucket is still, but the water spins. The bucket moves relatively to the water, and the water's edge is still higher than the middle.
      5. Both stop, water surface normal, no relative speed.
      Why does the water's surface change? It's not because of the movement, because the movement is relative. What if it's relative to Earth? Why would the water care about the Earth? Not to mention that the Earth spins too, and it doesn't matter to which direction you spin the bucket, the result is the exact same.
      This is why we must define something as an absolute space (or absolute space-time). This means that we can define specific points in the absolute space-time, and movement is relative to these. This of course means that the matter around these points doesn't matter.
      The defined points in absolute space time are completely still. We could define the points so that the distance between each closest points is always 1m. This means that their distance will always be 1m, regardless of what happens around them. They are not bound to London's map or anything else.
      When the space enlarges, the distance of these points remains at 1m. This is because the metre itself becomes relatively longer. This is why we perceive the universe to enlarge. If we take to distant galaxies that have no absolute speed relative to one another. This means that they are both still. Even so, we would still perceive the other galaxy as going away, because the space between the two galaxies expands. This means that the two galaxies have relative speed, but would that mean that the other one's clock would run faster? No, because their absolute speed, their speed which is relative only to the absolute space-time, is the same, zero.

    • @only2ndplace
      @only2ndplace 10 років тому

      Jesse Heinonen
      Maybe I missunderstood your explanation, but the concept of "absolute space" is completely wrong. The principle of relativity, which is one of the base assumptions, that special realtivity is build upon, forbids any frame of reference to be "absolute". You can only define motion of two systems relative to one another.
