ok, now I have to di out my magazines, I just read an article pertaining to this very question, and 4 possible methods that have been mathimatically proven we given on how it would be possible to travel through time. now, all 4 are theoretically correct, but they will not be done for some time. This is due to the vast engineering problems required to perform them, I will double check this information when I get home, but basically one method would allow for travel both forward and backwards, but would only be able to allow travel between times after the device was built. the other three are less limiting, but have consequences. one method involves creating a sphere with a hollow center, the mass of which would have to be extremely great equal to the mass of at least an entire galaxy, you would be in the center and then compress the sphere to the point that it is only a little bigger than the hollow section you are in and start it spinning, the faster it spins the slower time will move for you, so you will be traveling forward faster than normal. when you reach the future date you wanted you would stop the spinning and come out, the catch is that it has no reverse mode, it is one way. Also, getting that much mass into that small a space is an engineering problem.

the other two methods involve creating a ring with much the same mass as the sphere in the previous example, and again start it spinning, when the speed approaches the speed of light, it will creat a rift which if you stepped through would take you backwards in time, however, this method is unpredictable, you could go back a day, you could go back a million years, also it is a one way trip. the final methind involves creating a cylinder in space of infinate length, and rotating it at near light speeds, then you orbit the cylinder and depending which way you orbit you cah travel forwards or backwards in time. again it has to have extreme amounts of mass, and the infinite length could be a bit tricky, but this method lets you go both ways.

I got these from a recent copy of wired magazine, I will try to find the specific issue when I get home, but I thought they were interesting.

Of course, none of those will be necessary once we all realize and learn to know that there really is no time, and all things are happening at the same time. and if we so choose, we can move between not just time, but all of our incarnations.

I found it, and I was close enough to the info for a post, but if anyone wants more specific info it is in the august issue of wired, it also talks about other "super" powers and how to make them realities, including possible regrowing limbs, x-ray vision, invisibility, and super strength. one of the reasons I get that magazine, they always know about the cutting edge of technology.

There is also a very cool book by Michael Crichton called Timeline which deals with Quantum mechanical time travel. It also has very cool medi-evil events as well

Love the thoughts!

I agree with the theory that science says you can't change the past and it has already occured kind of like your soul maturing, growing and you can't digress your soul.
And there's only one real soul timeline the others are just shadows or branches or wrong destinies.

you said you travelled without your body what was that like? Do you really go back in the past, can you change your thinking which can than effect events?

You said:

I enjoy more travelling without the limits of my earth body at this point in time.

Are you saying that you could travel with your body in time?

The people you asked are no longer around, except for me, and you didn't ask me a question.

i have a question for you, randall

i watched the movie Paycheck the other night and it got me thnking about time.

i'm trying to get my mind even part-way around the "eternal now" concept. i don't mean the present moment, but the complete spectrum of all moments ever lived in all dimensions.

would this be a still/static or a fluid/dynamic "now"? i mean, do you think the eternal now itself is evolving and changing? is it a state or being, or a "living" entity composed of all of us entities?

what got me wondering about that was trying to imagine a "finished" soul journey - do we leave a trail or does our trail evaporate after we're "finished"? is the tapestry constantly weaving or unraveling?

language doesn't do a great job of conveying my questions, but that's as close as i can come at the moment...

You expressed very well something extremely difficult to put into words, I also wanted to know these answers

I think it's both--always evolving/changing (creating brand new timelines) and static. I don't think any timeline or parallel reality ever fades. Every moment that ever occurred or will occur is always there (but still new timelines get created--which already exist, of course--so it's quite a paradox).

Very difficult to grasp. I am not sure the mind can really "get it". Our intellect does not work because it requires a somewhat temporal outlook, one of cause and effect, one plus one. It creates, and thus is always moving. I think the 'eternal now' must be felt, experienced, known. And then there will be no words to describe it.

Actually there is one good description of kind of how it feels that most everyone would recognize, but few would realize.

yes, my little temporal lobe is cringing right now
thanks for your insight, guys. on brighter days i can almost feel a shift towards an expanded consciousness of "time" - or maybe that's just too much coffee

I believe I have travelled through time! This happened when I was a teenager, walking through a lonely stretch of land not far from a beach. It was a very strange experience and was actually quite frightening. Although we didn't actually see anyone, we did enter an old house. I was told later that the house and barracks nearby were an old air base, demolished years before I was even born.

Hi Angeldust Nice to meet you!!

Whereabouts was it you went, did it look, smell and feel completely real then? I'm from the UK too and would love to check it out facinated by time travel and what places looked like in the past

It was in a place called Formby coast, I used to holiday there with my grandparents all summer as a child. The place was as real as can be. My friend and I climbed the steps to a rather grand house of which the front door was wide open, revealing a huge galleried staircase. In the middle of the hall was a round polished table bearing a large potted plant. The only sound came from a pendulum clock on the wall that tick-tocked loudly. Over in the corner to our far right was a door leading off into a sitting room. We called hello, as we were going to ask for a glass of water due to the summer heat, and ask directions home as we were hopelessly lost.And then we became uneasy and ran like hell! Outside, was an allottment, where there was a hosepipe running clear water. It looked as if it may have been dropped suddenly. Opposite the house were a row of tin barracks, the windows decorated with red and white gingham curtains.Everything was real, and touchable. But there wasn't a soul in sight. My Grandmother listened to our tale incredulously, and informed us that an airbase had been demolished years before we were born, and she thought that it was possible that we had somehow walked into another era unwittingly. We returned the next day, with her, but could find nothing.Not even ruins. A new housing development was in the spot we thought we may have been.
