Only time travel to the future is possible. For example I will time travel one hour into the future and it will take me one hour to get there

[-] Zink@programming.dev 25 points 2 months ago

My Lemmy client says your comment is 1h old. Is it possible to learn this power?

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

You can backdate posts on AP.

You can travel to the past. You just need to take a plane to somewhere in a negative offset time zone.

[-] Sternburgexport@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago

I'll travel several hours into the future and it only takes me one bottle of vodka.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

Unless you're traveling close to the speed of light!

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It still takes you an hour, it just takes everyone else near infinitely longer.

[-] owl@infosec.pub 4 points 2 months ago

We are all time travelers

[-] menemen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Slowing down the metabolism seems the mistake realistic thing we might be able to do to something like time traveling.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago

Because the langoliers got them?

That was the first Steven King movie I saw when I was a teenager. Messed me up.

[-] Signtist@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

I saw it on TV when I was 7 or 8. I had nightmares for months.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The people are all gone, the Langoliers just haven't shown up yet.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Of course not, don't be ridiculous.

Your brain is a time machine. However, it cannot effect the reality that you physically reside in.

[-] SparrowHawk@feddit.it 15 points 2 months ago

Time machine, but not a space machine

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

And the bike is a space machine, but not a time machine. What we need is a spacetime machine.

[-] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago

If used correctly, the bike can move you forward in time. It takes approximately 60 minutes to move an hour into the future. But you can't return so think twice before you go into a horrible age.

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Ok so we need

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 5 points 2 months ago

You can travel through space too, but again, it won't affect the world you physically reside in.

you can easily return to the past

but a tree used to be there where you are and now you've impaled it

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well, if we follow that logic, then where you end up is the emptiness of space, even if you go back exactly one year.

People tend to forget that the Earth not only goes around the sun, but the whole system is moving, so Earth is not in the same place as it was a year ago, even if it is relative to the sun.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Presumably all time travel devices, spells, etc. compensate for that. If someone figured out how to travel to the past, calculating where the planet was at the time should be easy by comparison.

[-] AEsheron@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Even more specifically, if we are talking a temporal teleport, then this shouldn't be a surprise. Most mainstream fiction uses teleports for time travel, pop out of one time and into another without experiencing the time between. As opposed to the device Farnsworth made in The Late Philip J. Fry, where they actually just change speed through time instead of skipping through it. In the latter case, you shouldn't have to worry about this issue at all. But with a teleport, any teleportation device is simultaneously a temporal and spatial teleport, due to causality and the nature of spacetime. So any teleport would need spacetime coordinates, not just spatial or temporal coordinates.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

In the year 252525

The backwards time machine still won't have arrived

In all the world, there's only one technology

A rusty sword for practicing proctology

[-] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I think that brings up the question of how do we go about establishing an absolute position? If everything is moving, what isn't?

Everything being relative is a hell of a thing.

[-] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 16 points 2 months ago

It is a plot point in the sci-fi series Perry Rhodan, where they push the whole solar system 15 minutes into the future (iirc) to hide it from the rest of the universe.

So if aliens launch a nuke at the solar system, you would have died 15 minutes ago? 🤔

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

No, sounds like the solar system just got pushed out of phase with the rest of their universe.

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

The solar system will probably fall apart with the sudden disappearance of gravity of other systems

[-] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 1 points 2 months ago

For the "present" of the rest of the universe it is just empty space, the Solar System is in a bubble of spacetime completely disconnected from the rest and continuously shifted 15 minutes.

[-] mdurell@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

NGL, this sounds pretty awesome.

I'd like to return to about 12 hours ago so I can sleep
