I for one always find shit exciting. Its not like dude is some quack, he’s a Physics Professor with 30 years under his belt. What do ya‘ll think about this?

I'll believe it when I see it. I think he's more quack than a duck.

I know theoretically (I will outline below) it is possible.





It is possible because of the fact that there is a maximum speed for any particle
(that is the speed of light).

Now roughly time = distance/speed (now this is just an intuitive argument)

picture a train travelling at the speed of light. Now you are on the train and start running.
Normally if the train is travelling 100 miles per hour and you run on the train at 10 mph then really you are moving at 110 miles per hour.

But our train is moving at the speed of light, and it is NEVER possible to move
faster than the speed of light. so in our equation speed = distance/time

our speed has to still be speed of light but our attempt to move faster will affect the time factor of the equation

Roughly it goes on those lines of course to really appreciate it we will have to do a course in "Modern Physics" but I just wanted to point out roughly how it goes.


The guy is still a quack though
 
Give the guy some credit or respect for he's doing. yeah of course people will throw negative skeptism at him but his theories are really fascinating. time travel has been talked about and thought about for many years. I do believe that someday time travel will be possible due to the fact that we, was a human race have achieved some much in technology. Our coriosity has led us to create such shows like star treck and many others. but it makes me wonder if time travel is possible, are there any time travelers among us in our time? In summation, it is really fascinating and intriguing the idea of time travel.

I don't believe time travel will ever be possible in my lifetime. if it is possible, I promise to come back and delete this post. I am sure one day , one day it is possible though picture what humans will have accomplished by year 3005.


To be fair though , with time travel, they have to take "time dilation" into account when moving atomic clocks. And that is textbook stuff, that is, it is universally accepted by physics guys. So some sort of time travel is already possible albeit in nanoseconds

I am sure the guy can will be just fine, if you want to be great you have to tolerate the hecklers. Skepticism is in my nature
