What are the 11 dimensions in our Universe? And only 3 we human can see?
Thanks!

I have no idea.

I BELEIVE THAT TIME TRAVEL IS VERY POSS. I THINK THAT SOMEONE MAYBE EVEN I WILL TRAVEL IN TIME SOMETIME!!

I don't know of anyone who wouldn't want to.

you have a very intersting opinion on this topic. i just want to pose a question to you that i had some trouble with.
What if there is no such thing as time? What if time is just something that humans created to gather and organize their lives? Finally, when it comes to the rock scenario, and you have all those choices, you are only making one choice, so therefore how could the other options create alternate timelines if you choose not to preform that specific action.
EXAMPLE: you choose to kick the rock, this means that you have NOT thrown or stepped on it, these might be options you have, but you choose not to use them, i mean isn't that the free-will you were talking about?

Hey, James. Good points. Time IS a sense of duration, but it's also a tangible thing; a measurement just like space which helps to make up what we perceive as reality(don't forget gravity and atomic clock tests and speed).
EXAMPLE: (that we use a lot)City A is 60 miles from City B. When we refer to their relativity to one another we can say that they are also one hour in distance (velocity being the contributing factor), provided a certain speed is maintained during the commute.
As far as the rock example, quantum theory allows for a SPLITTING and a MERGING (remember the cumulative properties of any one experience). Even the "Copenhagen camp" can go along with this much.
Thanks for your input.

I am doing a lecture on the subject time, and was wondering if, you would be able to send me out some information on time travel. If you have a condensed version of whats written on this page, i would be greatly interested in it.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Liska
I am sending you an e-mail.

I THINK THE TIME TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE ALL THIS UNIVERSE, STEVEN GIBBS THAT VOYAGE, THE KEY IS THE GRAVITATION, ELECTRICITY AND ENERGY.
I haven't formed an opinion on Steven Gibb's claims, except that I certainly wouldn't be that public. History shows us that all (radical) revolutionists are ridiculed. Yes, ENERGY (GRAVITY & ELECTRICITY) will contribute. The thought process and invisible particles and waves about us are also in the big picture.

I saw something on TV about timetravelling, the main problem is that we can't beat the speed of light problem, till now. there was this proffessor that could send particles at 5 times the speed of light!
I'm not so sure that even if we can travel faster than the speed of light we can travel in time, because if you go faster you'll leave the light behind you and you won't see a thing. Then there is the problem that nobody can see you because the light won't "hit" you, after you traveled you'll have to stop and then you won't stop instantly, this way the light will catch up on you and your back to the future.
Ofcourse this is only guessing but if you think of it it could be quite logical.
Fortunately, I recorded the program you speak of. It aired on The Learning Channel earlier this year. It featured Dr. Robert H. Frisbee Of NASA's JPL, Dr. David Deutsch of Oxford University and another physicist, Dr. Jack Sarfatti. It was loaded with lots of good information and sound speculation. The part you speak of concerned Dr. Guenter Nimtz, Professor Of Physics at Cologne University in Germany. Apparently, through a process known as Quantum Tunneling, he and his associates sent photons previously encoded with tracts of music against a barrier at 5 TIMES THE SPEED OF LIGHT and decoded them at the other end.
As far as the light speed problem you mention; my take on this is that it is the wrong avenue for timetraveling- BECAUSE OF THE INFINITE MASS PROBLEM. I think progress will be achieved in the direction of alternate methods- wormholes/miniaturized Tipler cylinders, gravity manipulation and so on...
Thanks for stopping by, Michiel!

my speculation is that if you were to go into the future, the future will not be the one that you will exist in. This future will be an alternate one that will be without your presence from the time when you went foreward in time.
I think this because if you were to travel foreward in time, it would be making the time in your 'time machine', or whatever mode you travel, move really slowly in comparison to time outside of your 'machine'. The absense of your presence will make the future stray further and further from the 'timeline' you would live.
Hi Stuart, I couldn't agree more. I think you are absolutely right. The instant you timetravel you create a divergent timeline, simply by the act. The more you do or observe, the more variant reality (for you) becomes.

picture this, if you will. if there isn't alternate timelines, and the timeline we exist in now, is the only one... if i were to build a time machine and travel back in time and accidentally kill my past me, i would not have built a time machine, and then i would not have travelled back in time, and not killed myself, and then i would have built a time machine... bla bla bla but that is probably why alternate timelines exist.. to get out of that problem
Hello again. EXACTLY! You just explained it yourself.

I hate speech... I myself can't describe my ideas fully, becuase they are thoughts, not words (this itself is an idea i can't fully express right now). There are many times when i can't explain an idea becuase there is no words to describe it accurately (I think this is what you meant in the "before we begin" section)
here's somthing to make you think... you can't travel to the past or the future because as soon as you get there, it becomes the present. If you were to travel back in time, and would produce an alternate time line, what says you'd return to your previous time line? maybe you'd stay in the alternate time line you created?
hmm.. upon further reading of your page.. this has been pointed out! (i don't really feel like deleting all that so enjoy!)
HA!HA! No Problem! Glad you read it all. The one thing you said was something earlier respondents had "kicked" around with me previously; DOES ALL TIME EXIST SIMULTANEOUSLY? It's objective, so is it all the present?

all is well
Well, that's good, but what about 2013???
(NOTE: A lot of that ENDTIME stuff floating out there on the WWW right now!)
