Time Travel? Scientific breakthrough in quantum mechanics rolls back time

wow, scott bakula must be excited

 

I saw an interview with a physicist recently who said that time was an illusion. That is just a freaky concept.
Unrelated but because I just saw it, the James Webb telescope found galaxies similar to ours way earlier than was thought possible, so our understanding of even how the universe was formed might have to be reshaped. And by the way, Webb can see object back to within 200 million years if when the universe formed, around 13.5 billion years back into our past.
I really wish I could be alive in 75 or 100 years to see how all this plays out.

 

time is a social construct

 

Are you not paying attention? Just rewind your particles.

 

I want my particles to rewind into the shape of this.

 

5 hours in the quantum realm is like 5 years here.

Facts.

 

Unless they were referring to the man-made concept of time, I don't think that makes sense. In fact, time is probably the least "illusion" of the 4 dimensions, as we are forever stuck in the present moment of time (unless we time travel.) We can always alter our other 3 dimensions, our XYZ coordinates, but where we are on the coordinates is always tethered to the 4th dimension, the current moment of time.

The concept of space/time has always been super interesting and way above my brain capacity.

 

Depends how you look at it. Here’s a good article on it.

The Illusion of Time: What's Real?

 

I needed to smoke a lot of weed before reading that. Alas, I had to settle for a few beers.

 

I was re watching the Avengers Endgame and they said the opposite. It seemed pretty realistic so I’m going with that

 

I’ve kinda become obsessed with this stuff lately, how the universe works. There’s so much crazy out there. There are galaxies we are incapable of seeing based on the laws of physics because they are more than 13.7 billion light years away. How? Because the expanding of the universe isn’t bound by the speed of light so the things near the edge are moving away at several times that speed. They might be 30 billion light years away. So there will never come a time when they are visible to us, even with the worlds greatest telescope, at least for 16-17 billion years.
the numbers are beyond staggering. Peak star production for the universe was 9 billion years ago, and yet here we are. And every star in the night sky is in the Milky Way, which has about 250 billion of them. And there are maybe 2 trillion galaxies. And then the average star may have a few planets.
Side note, the one thing besides a star you can see at night is the andromeda galaxy, which will collide with ours in 500 million years and set off a new star formation cycle.
But we are so far from even knowing a little bit about what’s around us and how it works it’s like we are ants trying to build a nuclear reactor.

 

The past, present and future are seamless.
"[C]hange really is an illusion, because there's nothing that's changing; it's all just there — past, present, future."

 

If time travel was possible and we only got one shot, we would likely just waste it... I myself would just go back to late 2001 and create a game plan to stop Travis Stephens.

Think about how different things may be today.

Its best I just never have such power

 

Better yet: stop 9/11 and the game would have been played as scheduled on 9/16

 

The weed didn’t help me better absorb the information. Still fascinating, though.
