Re: Time Traveler Convention
The principal of time dilation.... Time dialation's a phenomina not much talked about, but it is basically time travel into the future..<br /><br />Lemme explain.. <br />The time dilation principal states that bodies moving at high velocities experience a time that ticks slower than the time measured at zero velocity.3.... Research experiments have yielded experimental data that conclusively illustrate that fast moving aircraft have traveled into the future.... <br /><br />Example:<br />In 1975 Professor Carol Allie of the University of Maryland tested Einsteins theory using two synchronized atomic clocks.... One clock was loaded on a plane and flown for several hours, while the other clock remained on the ground at the air base... Upon return, the clock on board the plane was found to be ever so slightly slower that the one on the ground.... This was not due to experimental error, and has been repeated numerous times with the same result.... This difference in time is even more pronounced in satellites such as the space station... This is because these objects are traveling at speeds much faster and for much longer periods than possible in an airplane.... The faster an object moves, the more time is distorted... <br /><br />Eventually, space flight may unlock the secret of time itself... This will require the development of spacecraft that can travel at speeds on the order of two hundred million meters per second, thats about four hundred and fifty million miles per hour.... Craft traveling at this speed will take us near the speed of light, where time actually slows down... This is whats known as time dilation.... <br /><br />Einsteins theories predict that the faster a spacecraft moves, the slower time ticks inside of it.... <br /><br />Imagine that a rocket ship takes off from earth and approaches the speed of light.... If we were to watch it from earth with a very powerful telescope as it traveled away from us, we would see everyone inside the ship as being frozen in time... To us their time would slow down, but to them nothing would change....<br /><br />However, time travel into the past (general relativity) still remains an un-proven theory... But, hey.. Who knows what someone might come up with tomorrow that could turn the theory of realitivity into a hypothisis?...
