Time travel theory

Ok so all you science type folks know that we do time travel everyday. If object A moves faster relative to object B, then time moves slower for object A relative to object B. This is Einstein stuff, proven with atomic clocks.
The movie Planet of the Apes where Charlton Heston goes out into space, then returns in the earth's future is actually based on real science, although higher velocities than we can currently achieve would be required to go that far into the future.
As motion is restricted to velocities between the speed of light (max) to approaching zero (min), only forward time travel is possible. But what if velocity is not a linear function, but is circular? What if exceeding the speed of light causes velocity to become negative and allow backward time travel?
Probably what they are trying to do with the super collider....

Just imagine if this were true, we could go back in time and kill Lincoln.

I like where your heads at. We should kill Quentin Tarantino and Sam Walton while we're at it.

Isn't Astronaut Scott Kelly a few more seconds younger then his twin Mark Kelly thanks to spending a year in orbit around the Earth?

Future time travel is possible. Time travel to the past is not. Whatever happened, happened.

So if you do go into the future, can you ever get back?

It would have to be time, spacetime more precisely, that is circular rather than velocity. It's time that's linear, after all. At least, that's what we observe.
It's also spacetime that's relative, one observer to another. One person traveling at near the speed of light experiences spacetime at a "normal," at least to him, rate but to a stationary observer relative to the traveler, who is also experiencing a normal passage of time, the traveler is aging at a radically slow rate.
It's mass that prevents anything traveling at the speed of light. The lack of mass compels a particle to travel at the speed of light, on the other hand.
Weirdly, from their perspective, massless particles don't experience time, movement or even distance. They don't travel at all, even though we observe them doing so.

There's a theory that time isn't exactly linear, but that it actually has a very slight curve. A curve so slight that it's very nearly linear. But that very tiny curve suggest that time is actually circular, if you go in the same direction for long enough then you'll eventually end up back in the same spot.
i.e. to travel to the past, you travel to the future.
And traveling to the future is absolutely possible.

Please, please be time travel before I die. Or aliens. Or God's rapture. PLEASE! I don't want the internet to be my witnessing of the glory of man.

This illusion of time is washed away by Einstein's theory of general relativity. It says that space and time are the same thing. I call it an illusion because it reflects our personal experiences of time, which are based upon Newtonian gravity.
We know that space can be affected by mass, so it follows that time is influenced as well. The greater the mass, the greater the warping of spacetime. This warping, however, does not change the direction of spacetime, even locally. Spacetime is expanding at an ever increasing rate, in one direction only. Outwards from the point of the Big Bang.

Gotcha. Parody is still difficult for me to detect. I've read lots of KSG's posts so I can usually decipher his meanings but DownSouth really schooled me with his recent 9/11 thread.

All good =) I am disappointed no one posted some "proof" that the collider is really being used as a portal to Nibiru. I wanted pics of the Nephilim they are smuggling in.
I think one of them is a relative of mine...

Hate post. Downvote.
And Superman proved time travel was possible in 1978.

He really did, it was shocking. I believe it was the first time I have ever downvoted Kentucker.

I had spent too much time on the poli board where conspiracies are rampant.
Posted on 5/30/18 at 6:59 pm to Kentucker
I spend some time over there, but a sanity break is definitely needed occasionally.

Time you spend traveling = less time at destination.
