Oh and yeah, just I WERE to use integration to write an expression for c, I will get the SAME expression. I won't bore you with the math, but its something like this.

dc² = dx² + dy²

dc = √(1 + (dy/dx)²)dx

Since straight line, dy/dx is always equal to constant m

Integrate w.r.t x from 0 to arbitrary x to get

c = √(1 + m²)x

Rearrange to get the same expression for c.

your a dum ass... u did not integrate the c staright line... u integrated s curve but not the c curve... u just took the limit of c without integrating.... use the multiplecation integration rule... since u have x multiplied with another x term in the sq rt for c...

[donylee]

kpate004, here is the flaw in your argument.

Firstly, there is no multiplication integration rule. I believe you meant to say integration by parts or by substitution.

Second, I DO NOT need to integrate the c straight line because I am using simple geometry to write an expression for c. It is none other than a straight forward application of Pythagorus theorem. Totally valid since it is in the Cartesian plane.

He is using is as an approximation, powers of x tend towards 0 faster than the others so you dont have to put 0 in every x expression ... i think :)

[donylee]

Hello Aero,

Yup, you are CORRECT. I made a small blunder where I said I was taking the limit. Instead, I should have said that I am using an approximation. Powers of X tends to 0 faster than X.

We then take the limit after.

that's all well and good in a two dimensional plane, but a lot of phenomena that work in one number of dimensions will not generalize to another (for example, there are a limited number of dimensions with a right handed cross product)

I would like to see a derivation of this idea using geodesics rather than just a straight line, though it would obviously be a little more involved

[donylee]

Hello adb4,

I approached this idea using fundamental calculus. I am sure that you are right in saying using Geodesics is might more involved and may give us more definite results. However, I have some problem comprehending the spacetime diagram that I can't even using Geodesics equations.

If you like to help me out, you can read my latest blog entry on my website to find out my troubles in relativity.

Still, thanks for watching.

conclusion: time travel is possible; you just have to travel along a complex path.

People you aren't understading this video. First of all, this kind of wormholes is one kind of many. I can do one with the same kind of math only using real numbers. But that's not important, important is that real theoretical wormholes are solutions of Einstein Field Equations, not this kind of math. Second, is not necessary advanced mathematics for this. This is calculus and complex numbers. I am simply an autodidact and I can understand it. And third, I don't think this makes much sense.

(hypothetically)

Because your wormhole requires the use of imaginary numbers, the wormhole itself is also imaginary. But this is still an interesting result.

Is it possible to find a path in the imaginary plane that is even shorter than the specific path you chose, y=x^2+ix? Can we optimize to find the shortest possible path in the complex plane? Although we are defying the old adage, 6% is not t, at much, and I'm curious to see how useful this imaginary wormhole could be.

yo im in grade 12 and i understand it (but i took calc1&2 already) its soo cool my math teacher is fucked... im gonna trip him up with this tomorrow :D

[clockw3rx]

the formula forgets multi-directional point to point .... meaning the % would fluctuate at their end points

[leetag]

Good explanation. Its a shame that 1st year university maths is required to understand most of what you said.

Just wondering, would this result be explained through the curvature of space. For example on the surface of a sphere or another curve the 'straight line' (as anyone standing on the curve would perceive it) that follows the curve is in fact not the shortest distance?

[turtleman924]

yeah see. im only 12... so what da heck are u saying lol...

Now let y = ix.

The length of this curve is 0 between any two points. So the conclusion is that I can get to any point by travelling a distance zero along this curve....

I am simultaneously everywhere.
