Time travel SHOCK: How Brian Cox PROVED Albert Einstein’s special theory – 'It's possible'

Time travel SHOCK: How Brian Cox PROVED Albert Einstein’s special theory – 'It's possible'

So if Jim was 40 years old when he left and his son was 22, then Jim would be 40 + 10 = 50 years old by his clock when he got back and his son would be 22 + 29 = 51 years old by Earth's clock. If my arithmetic is correct, this would make Jim younger than his own son when they reunite back on Earth.

Mind-bending stuff. But does it have any practical usage in and of itself? Would being able to travel forward in time in the sense described by this experiment leave us with any greater knowledge about ourselves? Or would it be limited to the time travelers just knowing how certain things turn out that they would not ordinarily be privy to - for example, watching their own children die of old age or the results of an election that they would not ordinarily have lived long enough to see? The problem here, I think, is that any knowledge gained by these forward time travelers would already have been known in advance by those back on Earth actually experiencing the events. So in that sense, it all just seems like an academic curiosity. Or are there other implications that I am missing?

I didnt get the impression he thought this was practical. It does give us a moment to pause and consider the nature of time. Perhaps this is why runners look so young :D lol

Well man created time not IMO who in my faith did.
Time is created by humans .

This may be true but we seem to be aging regardless. Weather we believe in it or not the effects on the physical world are real.

You are also right! To bad we can't live as long as they did. I give props to ppl who are 100+ but I wouldn't want to live that long. IMO.
 
Dr Cox went on to reveal how the experiment proved Einstein’s theory and may mean real time travel is possible in the future.

Poppycock. This experiment proves nothing - It deals with perception not time travel. Light Waves curve as they lengthen, which alters our perception/view of the 'whatever' as it move's toward us, passes us, and moves beyond us, if we are standing stationary. No different then Sound Wave's change our perception/hearing if a car ahead of us is laying on a horn, passes us, and move's beyond, if we are standing stationary.

I'd get deeper into this but it is past my bed time.

So later then.

Time travel SHOCK: How Brian Cox PROVED Albert Einstein’s special theory – 'It's possible'

See, this is what bother's me about this - and stuff in general. I would have argued this a month ago just as a matter of principle. Because "Einstein's 'special' Theory" - is not a thing. If he mean's Einstein's Theory of Relativity why doesn't he just say that? It's insulting to Einstein and to the general public. It's like he's talking baby talk so it might be easier for a dumb audience to understand. (I can not abide that kind of condescending c*ap) That kind of arrogance is why he thought his visuals would work I guess. And they were even more condescending...

You can't dumb down The Theory of Relativity because it is what it is. Now, either this guy doesn't understand the Theory himself, or he assumes his audience won't know the difference... either way, he is not credible.

Einstein's Theory of Relativity. I don't claim to understand the long range but I can intake points of interest and follow the guide post along the trail for a mile or two. And here is one of the major guide posts along that road - Einstein proved that time-travel as we think of it is NOT possible at all. He plainly states that. BECAUSE we are only dealing with 'time' as a solid when we are stationary in the moment. All the rest is perception - of time.

So if Jim was 40 years old when he left and his son was 22, then Jim would be 40 + 10 = 50 years old by his clock when he got back and his son would be 22 + 29 = 51 years old by Earth's clock.

I agree. The Natural Order is The Natural Order for a reason.

Einsteins Theory of Relativity, that this joker is so free with - state's that IF we could get to and then past - the Speed of Light, it is POSSIBLE we might immediately find ourselves at the beginning point of our Travels - which in effect could loosely be interpreted as present to future to past. Which is really not Time Travel at all. He then State's that, of course, this is only a Theory because at the point we pass The Speed of Light we would more than likely just cease to exist. POOF! -- And none of that matters in Einsteins head, because he believes it can't be done to begin with. He says then, that if 'wormholes' truly exist, and one end is here and another there - stationary - (which is highly improbable... Not the wormholes part, the stationary part IF they are through outer space not dimensional or inner) we might be able to travel 'through out time/space'... which is a whole different ballgame. These major guide post are easy enough to intake even for an old woman like me... because he lead's you by the hand along that road. THEN it starts getting complicated... as if it wasn't already.

So, he says - because time cease to be time with motion... we are dealing with motion not time. Time is is not linear because all Wave's arc/curve in the vast distances of Space. At the point of intersection of Time and Space they join up and you are now riding the Space/Time Continuum which also arcs/curves. So, in effect, there is no past, present and future. No point A to point B to point C in a linear manner.

Summary: 1) No 'Einstein's special Theory', and re-naming it does not mean you are not plagiarizing before you bastardize. 2) Einstein's Theory of Relativity actually come's closer to proving NO Time-Travel. 3) There is a lot of spooky stuff that goes on in this Universe but it does have a Natural Order. 4) Brilliant critical thinker's like Einstein show us possibilities based on probabilities. 5) Idiots always mess stuff up.

Darcy skid in anytime! When it comes to science I am more into other space ect. I seen before about this so I posted it. But totally love your attitude with this stuff!
