RE: What If We Do Time-Travel - Like Seriously

in StemSocial3 years ago

I remember Einstein never talked about time travel.
I remember the post-Einstein scholars were the first to claim that human time travel was possible if we exceeded the speed of light.

I don't know for sure why he never talked about time-travel, it could be that he wasn't aware his theories predicted it or he was aware and didn't believe it existed, just like he never believed black holes existed though he was aware general relativity predicted it.

What is the basis for claiming that if we exceed the speed of light, we can overcome the barriers of time and space?

The principle's of special relativity is the basis. Light doesn't create space-time, the thing is that casualty is broken,read this article and for better clarification study the lightcone diagram in Minkowski spacetime/the theory of special relativity itself. Note that his theories had undergone thorough examination and advances during the post-Einstein era.

During his time at the Institute, Gödel's interests turned to philosophy and physics. In 1949, he demonstrated the existence of solutions involving closed timelike curves, to Einstein's field equations in general relativity. He is said to have given this elaboration to Einstein as a present for his 70th birthday. His "rotating universes" would allow time travel to the past and caused Einstein to have doubts about his own theory. His solutions are known as the Gödel metric (an exact solution of the Einstein field equation).

Ooh, so he was aware and didn't believe. Nice one 👍👍 @holovision.

Dear @holovision, Thank you for your help!

It is clear that the current theory of relativity was created by adding new theories to Einstein's theory by younger scientists.
Thank you!
