I like to imagine Ron driving around a DeLorean. I like to imagine ME driving around a DeLorean.

[@ljmichaels1666]

Just keep it under 88 MPH.

[@HerosBane]

Wheezy! I came from the future but there's no time to explain! Don't listen to @ LJ Michaels!

[@mothman.industries]

I too like to imagine myself driving circles around a DeLorean. It is quite entertaining to imagine.

[@ozone20rulez]

Wheezy, Thank you for this video, it was a key element to finding out how to change our universe with thought. See, the vid says that we all occupy our own universes Dr Richard Bertman wrote a book about the same He actually HEALED a broken fractured leg (His own) with this knowledge He imagined a future where his leg got better, and he got an unconcious response, which he detected cus he is awesome. He visualised a future in the next second where the fractured leg will become okay again, and thus he CREATED a new universe of the next moment. then he thought about the way in which he would walk to allow it to happen. So by ignoring the pain, visualising a universe where the leg isn't broken, he actually fixed his own broken leg. Thanks for the info man, im on the verge of becoming a real life Dr. Strange >:D

[@derschmiddie]

ozone20rulez i wonder... if mass causes gravity causes time dilation, couldn't we just swap the equation and say time is slowed down by mass wich causes gravitiy? so there would be a very simple solution to what gravity is. its slowed down spacetime. and if i try to imagine this with the rubber-plane example where an object causes a dent, just imagine space within the dent to be more in the past then space on the undented surface. if i understand ron correctly he wants to wring spacetime like a wet towel because this wouldn't cause a hole in the spacetime-fabric. Anyway, the really interesting question to me at this point is: a) is time slowed down by mass and b) if so... why?

[@danheidel]

Craig: 'Are you a supervillain?' Ron: 'I would not!' Ron's inner voice: ' _They know too much..._ '

[@TheNerdyKnerd]

I agree. A couple years ago I saw one a video of him explaining his machine, which then prompted me to e-mail him. Only a couple days later, he responded with a link to get his book and not a week went by before I ordered it on Amazon. He truly is an awesome guy.

[@tho2ea]

Fascinating video. Ron seems like such a nice guy, and to work for something he'll probably never see in his lifetime is really unselfish. I don't know if I believe in time travel or not, but this story inspired me regardless.

[@geckofrog1886]

Let's say that some time in the future he does develop a machine that can transport him into the past, and arrives to the point in time just before his dad has the heart attack- he explains to his dad the situation, that he needs to go to a hospital, but the dad is so shocked that he has the heart attack- it turns out that traveling to the past to prevent the heart attack is what causes it in the first place... Time travel is confusing...

[@mev186]

[@scout2010]

6:45 - Hope that's a promise, Craig, because I'd love to hear more from Ron! :)

[@BookNutSimmer]

I just wanna put a thank you out there for posting this ive never really out much thought into time travel and the possibility of it but this video made me seriously consider that an Ron has inspired me. Im very interested in this an look forward to reading his book. He should set up some kind of donation website if he hasnt already, I would definitely put something towards making his dream a realisation and giving him a jump start so that he is able to see all this come to some kind of fruition during his life time. Back to my original point though thank you :)

[@theblahbutinihead1504]

Soon we will be able to travel to the past present future

[@guitarsk8r11]

So does the rate at which we age depend on how fast our planet is moving as well? Like, if we were put on another planet that moves through space twice as fast as the earth, would we live twice as long?

[@livefire666]

Time dilation only matters in a big way when you get near the speed of light. And as far as physics knows for sure is you can only slow down time to a near stand still not speed it up. Once you reach the speed of light time stops.

[@5488awestify]

Theoretically

Ron is a genius, but I am still undecided about his character. There have been many smooth talking geniuses all throughout history.

[@guitarttimman]

What if an evil dictator gets control of such power? Isn't there enough torment here already? The problem is that people are too anxious about showing off such discoveries, but forget that there are evil ones who don't know the meaning of compassion or even empathy. What if Hilter or Charles Manson would've owned such technology? Look how Tesla was treated. I know how to make time travel possible, but there's no way that I will even hint toward the direction of a solution. It would be awesome if we all received benefit from such a contraption, but just take a good look at what was done with Einstein's discoveries. My goal would be to stop torment on this planet, but that's not everyone's goal. There are malevolent ones who would use it to make us all suffer even more than we already do. I think you can wait! I know I can wait for the day when such technology will be utilized the right way. For the purpose of freeing all of us!

[@Retbretb]

so if im understanding this correctly then if you stopped or slowed down a lot compared to the universe in total the would you travel into the past?

[@hyper_dragon6302]

Guys, Is time travel to the past possible?

[@mace9930]

When an object accelerates (creating time dilation) it converges upon the source of the quantum field. This field is where all energy is interconnected and unified. Matter creates the phenomenon of forward time passage, which becomes divided into past, present and future. This is time as increments---time continually splits, moving from one moment to the next. There is a huge gulf between the time humans perceive and the timelessness of the quantum realm. To time travel, one has to enter into the field of timelessness (time stops when one reaches light speed) then all times and places are accessible from this matrix. Arrive at the confluence of all energy and time travel is feasible. The realm of the quantum is devoid of any resistance, and super states are possible. Getting a machine to converge upon the source of the quantum field would involve getting it to converge upon the wave source of its own energy. This would open the door to quantum super expression.

[@kimberkali77]

[@KuljitIssar]

is time travel to past future really possible and how i want to do it please help me out

However I think he's really awesome to invent time travel. I've wanted to do the same for a while now. I'd like to get in touch with him or continue his project when I'm older (I'm 12.)

[@guitarttimman]

@daniel gabriel dB=(mu(naught)Isin(theta)dl/4(pi)r^2) :-)

[@guitarttimman]

@daniel gabriel Let me tell you a little story, which can, by the way, easily be verified by someone who has a lot of money, resources, and time. One day, when I was very young, it was the late 1980's, I was in Chicago, IL looking for employment. I happened upon an Italian restaurant. While in there, I over heard Jewish Harold and Michael Tellerino arguing. Harold was screaming at Michael saying, "It's impossible!" "It can't be done with qbasic because that is not a technically good enough programming language to do it!" Mike warned Harold about who it was he was trying to scream at, and Harold just looked at him and said, "I quit, " and stood up. I walked over to them, and I said, "I'm sorry to interrupt you Sir, but I can do it!" Mr.Tellerino gave me an odd look, and then he said, "who the F are you?" I replied, my name is Timothy Rubin Halcomb. He said, "So?" I told him that I was very good in mathematics and that I could figure out how to write a program that would work. Harold laughed at me. Mike told Harold to shut up! Mike looked at me and said, "Okay wise guy! I'll give you a chance! You have two weeks!" I said, "okay I can do it." He said, "you better do it because if you don't, " and he gave me a really scary look! He told me to come to 205 North Wells Street in Chicago, IL. I think it was 205. He said the name of his company is called MRA which stands for Municipal Revenue Associates. He informed me that he had computers, and that the only program he had was qbasic and that it was that language or nothing. I asked him if he had books that explain how the language works. He said he did. Two very small ones. The next morning I went to work. Here's what he wanted me to do: He said he had what he called a ghost parking ticket dilemma. He had thousands of sparse records of people who owed a lot of money for unpaid parking tickets, and that he wanted someone who could design a program that would sort them and tally up the totals for each and every person. For the first couple of days, it was tough, but by the end of the week I did it. I wrote an ingenious program for that day and time. Now that might not sound like much, but it was supposed be impossible to do for over 999 records because the records had to be set up in arrays. Well, what I did is utilize the random access function to ingeniously link that with arrays and then I used a bubble sort code to sort the records by address first. Why address? Well because there might be 100 Jeremiah Johnson(s) with different addresses right? But, each client formed a one to one relationship with each address. Does that make sense? To make a long story short! There was NO program in that language that could even come close to matching what I did! What I created was a sophisticated search program that was so phenomenal that I even think it's being used in AI today! I did that! Several years prior to that, I bet a guy 50 bucks that I could go to Purdue University and master calculus. He thought I was joking. That is, until I did it. But, I was uneducated. I barely knew how to read at that time. No college. I didn't even have a G.E.D.. I went back to school. I got a G.E.D., and then I attended Purdue University. I tested out of College Algebra and went straight into to Calculus. I mastered the subject in a month! I did that, and I can prove it! I NEVER make claims that I cant back up, and that's the truth! I CAN build a time machine, but it would take a lot of money and about three years to do it!

[@Vyseblues]

Setup a kick starter! I'd support it!

[@John77Doe]

That's a good conjecture that light influences time just the way that light influences gravity. Probably, it's more than a conjecture. General Relativity has a built in equivalence of mass and energy. But why should photons of light have a different affect on time than a stream of subatomic particles? Because mass has the force of gravity and can produce acceleration, mass affects time. But why should photons of light, which have momentum, affect time any differently?

[@nacho74]

Yes, light has momentum and dynamic mass ( but zero rest mass). So, as E=mc^2, light has energy, and energy/mass has an effect on the fabric of space time. The same is true for our known "solid" subatomic particles, the fermions. But light is more efficient than using sub atomic particles, especially for the twist.

[@John77Doe]

+nadjim73 I don't see why light would be more efficient in the twist. Because it is already traveling at light speed. Curving gravitational fields to bring two points in time closer together, particularly if the two points are very far apart on the time coordinate axis, should not be more energy efficient. Do you mean the math is simpler in setting up the GR equations because photons are at light speed?

[@nacho74]

John Doe Well, no but for example, getting emitted photons from the energy excitement of atoms does not have that much effort has shooting out electrons, capture them in a magnetic or electric field etc.. The photons does also interact with the electromagnetic field, in fact, it is obviously an electromagnetic wave. But a photon is more accurate and precise and moves easily from one mirror to the other.

[@John77Doe]

+nadjim73 can you send me your solution of Tensor Calculus that backs up what you are saying. I am rusty, but after several long slow days, I can see if what you are saying has merit.

[@nacho74]

John Doe Well, I can do soon, but I hope most of it is obvious due to E=h*f

[@jcos]

Or something.

[@jamie110896]

Okay so bare with me while I try and describe my thought process here, by what I've just learned is it not technically possible to live forever, I mean it would be an awful existence but still liveable. So from the video I learned that the closer you are to an objects gravitational pull, the slower time becomes. So say you were to travel to the super massive black hole at the centre of the galaxy, the strongest gravitational pull in our environment, would time not become more and more slow the closer we get to the black hole? And time would continue to slow until it couldn't slow no more which is the point just before the singularity of a black hole, where we'd never actually experience being ripped apart by the black hole as time would eventually halt and we'd live forever?

[@jakemiketta3868]

Victory belongs to the most persevering. Ronald must give up no matter how hard time travel to the past seems

[@Loekamber]

If this is true, than light is really scary. It is not affected by gravitation at all (it leaves the Sun rather than gets pulled towards it) except for negative gravitation (black holes) and they also gravitate all by their own, very very little. So we need to concentrate light, into a black hole to take the black holes zero time and manipulate it until it goes backwards. And this is also a scary thought.

[@CrystalsRandomVideos]

Light is affected by gravity, as shown in Einstein's Eclipse experiment. He showed that light bends around the moon during a lunar eclipse. Light has no mass, but it does have momentum.

[@twelge15]

Wouldn't it be cool if there were different dimensions of time. One with time traveling way faster. One with time traveling way slower. And others traveling backward. Either way... "Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once" - Woody Allen

[@thomasnorton4939]

Super interesting!

[@RomanNardone]

But the entire point of The Time Machine my H. G. Wells is that you can't change the past. Every time the protagonist tries to save his love, she is killed in another way. The novel is more about living in the present, and not worrying about the future, nor obsessing over the past. The fact he took inspiration to build the time machine from that book means he missed the point of the story completely. That being said, I think time travel is awesome so more power to him.

[@WhirlOmar]

I always felt that Einstein's theories of relativity describes what is simply an illusion for the individual - that time has gone faster for everyone else.. Hence, the relative part in the theory's name. But there is nothing conceivable to explain going back in time - illusion or not.

[@Neura1net]

Hypoteticaly, let's asume I would have two entangled particles and move one away from the other with near lightspeed. Let's further asume that each of this particles has a propability to decay and the decay would also disturb the sister particle. Would the slower particle therefore experiance a shorter halflife ?

[@nighthiker8872]

I was showing the old woman next door the travel porter. I finally got her to stop by. As I was showing the machine, turning it on just little. Some thunder was coming in from a distance away. I told her to wait, so I could get her some hot chocolate, I'll be right back. By accident the short time I was gone,just seconds. She might have have trans ported. As the machine was cooling down, a second burst of lighting hit. Next thing I knew I was in a field by a ocean side, but where.

[@mace9930]

How might one access the quantum field? There may be evidence from the meditation technique called hemi sync. With hemi sync, a person listens to wave forms that are slightly out of alignment, with one representing the right brain, and another representing the left brain. This stimulates the interconnection between hemispheres, via the corpus callosum, creating an altered state that is beneficial. I could see this principle applied to a material object, using some form of radiation. Beams of radiation (maybe something like an MRI) could be directed at an object, slightly out of phase with each other, and this could escalate as required. This would allow one to manipulate the basic quantum flow of an object, bringing the expression of its quantum flow to the surface. Once its flow has surfaced, it can be manipulated until it reaches its quantum signature source, the source of all its energy. This is very similar to a transporter beam seen in Star Trek TNG. The beam creates resonance with the object, sending it into a quantum state. It can then go anywhere, to any time or place. The transporter apparatus is thus a time machine and a teleportation device.

[@Dragonz318]

Lol... You need a Flux Capacitor. Which makes time travel - possible. (Just saying) I would love to time travel. It would be very cool. I love this video. Keep up the good work.

That's not a time machine, that's an ACME black hole.

Furthermore, it would require a laser sphere unless your goal is to uncontrollably drain things through a time pipe.

[@skypesk309]

Good sir

[@Ninterd2]

I have a question here, and I'd like to hear your opinion(s). If let's say time traveling (back) was possible (as in very many years and not just a split second or whatever, if even this will become possible), do you think that traveling back in time should be illegal? I mean, there's not much you can do about it except for maybe trying to stop those with that goal in mind to get money for it, but still. Should it be illegal if it ever becomes possible?

[@elielx2]

Hy Wheezy(Do I call you Wheezy? or Craig? I'll go with Wheezy), Theoretical physicist here. Although Mallett's idea is pretty neat, his proof that closed time-like curves appear is in contradiction to Hawking's theorem that it's impossible to create such curves in any finite portion of space-time. I think he gets out of the theorem by using a infinite line source in his model, which of course can not be done in practice.

[@kevinleach305]

two words kick starter

[@judgeomega]

If you were to transport anything back in time... wouldnt there be a near infinite number of those things all arriving at once as there are a near infinite number of possible timelines between then and the time which it is sent back? Personally i believe in presentism. The only time that exists is right now. The past that was... is now. And no longer really exists. It all comes down to time really being 'change', and not a dimension. In this view of reality you would have to change ALL of the universe except whats in the time machine to return back to the state it was in. And since that outside world no longer has you in it, reversible physics would fail because the actions you had performed would not be able to be undone. Thus impossible unless you can create a whole new universe with the desired states to be equivalent to those in the past. And if you had the power to do that... yeah, why would you even bother?

[@Mr061099]

+judgeomega Yeah "travelling" back on time would be a mess and pretty much impossible, the feasible thing would be to change your timeline relative to everyone else's so that you would "travel" forward on time.

[@scottcupp8129]

Basically what would happen, you CAN arrive at your own past, but the moment you arrive there and move forward at a normal pace, of 1 second per second, a timeline divergence would occur or alternate timeline. Time travel to the future is absolutely possible. However forward time travel would merely be accelerating beyond 1 second per second. If you wanted to get back to your original timeline you would have to travel back 1 second before you arrived at your own past and accelerate forward from that point. And Dr. Mallet's theories are precisely correct. Lasers create their own electromagnetic field. Time travel 101 :)
