Time is the 4th spacial dimension.
I know.
The ability to travel into the past requires hyper-light speed, an apparent impossibility.
You have not even got there yet. You dont know what time travel is yet.
However, if spacetime is twisted ie. by a black hole, then this 'speed limit' can be ignored.
Irrelevant.
This machine is designed to twist spacetime using powerful lasers which have been proven to twist spacetime, though the power needed hasn't yet been developed.
See, already it has been "proven" even though its not been done. Frankly, I did not watch the video because "Unsolved Mysteries" is a not a good source, its too long, and My video player has trouble with it.
Atoms are "proven", but we cannot actually see atoms. It 'proof by proxy' - and now there is talk that it's all energy and we only
interpret them as atoms. Yet, how can one interpret something we cannot directly see? I dont have confidence in these scientific findings. It seems to Me that scientists know how to get things done, they know
how. They dont know
why, and often dont know
what.
Exactly how do they detect this twist in space-time? If they measure the outcome, they might say their experiment allowed them to go 6 seconds into the future, in only 2 seconds. Suppose they then claim that is time travel. How do they measure time and time travel itself, when you cannot see time?
But this is not any different from what you said :
Say you start at noon on monday and get to 2 am on Wednesday. Now say it only took 2 seconds. I think it's safe to say you time traveled.
If so, this answer is no better than your previous one.
Still, I do not think you get the point. How are they measuring time and time travel, and can it be directly shown how the machine travels time? I will put it another way that you might be able to understand at your level - what if I could devise a scenario where I could do exactly what the "time machine" does without using what you would call a time machine? You are fleeing from Victim Ivan Milat...you are trapped in a room....you dash into the only existing time machine (the one form the film "the time machine")...and "escape" into the future. You go 10, 000 years into the future. Can Ivan catch you without using a time machine? The answer is yes.
If so, would that lead you to understand why mearly noting that you have "done the job" is not good enough to say what the machine did?
(PS In case you wonder why it's Ivan, I am concentrating of Victim Ivan's case at the moment. There are important Forbidden Truths that may be available through Victim Ivan's case and various updates.)
