TTV - TIME TRAVEL TECHNOLOGY 2of3.

[PowerStrangers]

Time travelers may have planted life on earth? Question: if life depended on time travelers planting the "seeds" of life, wouldn't that mean that when they went back, they ended up in a different universe, like they just stated before the guy said that. If that's they case, they planted life for that universe and not their own, meaning that life never existed in their universe. However you look at it, it's ridiculous.

"Günter Nimtz' interpretation of the implications of these results represents a highly debated topic, which only a minority of researchers considers as correct." -Wikipedia

In other words, one of the lead researchers in this episode in considered invalid by most other researchers.

as long as we depend on fossil fuels...and atomic fuel

we can`t dream about that

Attempts to change the course of history always backfire - hasn't the narrator, haven't his guests, ever read stories in which people help to bring about the very events they want to stop happening ?

Going into a universe one doesn't come from doesn't solve anything; a replica of the world is by definition not the world; it's a substitute. And what sort of scientist believes that aliens started life on earth ? There is not a scrap of evidence they even exist. Talk about idiotic bilge :(

[ROYALPOKERAU]

This episode brings back the old same question, who was Nostradamus?

Time traveler or he was visited by " Time Traveler" and been told all future events that he may have been told by the Time Traveler !

I`m trying to figure the "mechanics" of the way back in time in the first place. In the first part, they mentioned that the "wormholes" were way smaller than an atom. That leads me to think the only way to go through would be with pure energy of "mind". But thats just a thought..

I would not kill anyone I would just go back & save my wife and change some small details of my life to make my like better.

[swankrecords]

In the future people will be happier with their health insurance.

[TemporalBouncer]

Argh! They still don't get it. You cannot change the past and there are no parallel universes. The grandfather paradox fails to realize that if anyone will travel to the past, then that time period has ALREADY seen that traveler - the past included the traveler.  Also, if this guy sent music faster than the speed of light, I bet it merely arrived sooner at the other end and not sometime in the past. Faster than light does not equal backward time travel, though the traveler may regress.

[TheFifthApes]

That's not really the point of the grandfather paradox...

If you go back in time and kill your grandfather before your parents were concieved, what happens to you? Do you disappear since you were never born? And if so, how did you go back in time to kill your grandfather in the first place?

[setokaiba7000]

i would not kill anyone I would just go back & save my wife

[TheFifthApes]

Ok then Mr. Wells

[TemporalBouncer]

But that is the point of the grandfather paradox, as the grandfather paradox cannot occur. Paradoxes are a result of not understanding the true nature of time. Paradoxes no more exist than alternate time lines.  You cannot change the past, because the point is, if you travel to the past, that point in the past has already seen you, even though in your natural time you have not yet embarked to go there.

[TheFifthApes]

Right, you can't change the past because you can't go there.

If you're saying that you can travel into the past, but the past has already seen you, then that negates free will. Take your pick: Time Travel or Free Will.

[TemporalBouncer]

Free will or not, if you could travel to the past, you would have to be part of it, for you cannot change what has already happened.

[TheFifthApes]

Exactly my point. If you could travel into the past, you would have to already have to be part of it, thereby negating the ability to 'choose' to travel to the past.

If time travel is possible, why isn't out present and history flooded with visitors from the future?

The closest you will get to time travel is quantum entanglement which can hardly be used at a matroscopic level.

[TheFifthApes]

Macroscopic*

[TheFifthApes]

Paradoxes are not a result of ignorance, they are a result of trying to understand reality.

When a situation is presented that includes a paradox, it is highly likely that the situation in question is quite improbable. It's like Tachyons in physics equations: if your equation produces them, your equation is wrong.

[TemporalBouncer]

"Paradoxes are not a result of ignorance, they are a result of trying to understand reality."

What's the difference?

[TheFifthApes]

Ignorance implies that there is something we don't understand. The paradox implies that we do understand it, and it isn't possible.

[Guncriminal]

Lol @ 4:34

Haven't these people ever played Red Alert?

[TehNetherlands]

Quality. Thanks.
