Turn back TIME

Today I found an old Log book, and found two Shackletons I had flown in many yrs ago. I posted on Historic, to see if anyone knew their whereabouts,(ID Numbers given). pagon 01 stated he possibly knew the fate of one of them, nr him, scrapped.The same happened to the second, elsewhere.

So, guys and gals, if I could turn back time, I would try and get WB 822, in somewhere like Duxford, so I could go there now with my Grandchildren and say, “I flew in that”.

What would you do or change if you could turn back time?.

C.D. What about cryogenics? You wouldn’t need food or water, but what about bodily functions, I hate to think of the mess I would be in, however as I am always in th S***it’s only the depth that changes.it wouldn’t realy matter.:diablo:

I can tell you exactly where it comes from.

But I’m not going to….. :p

Oh, Go on, you know you want to;)

…and to get yourself (and enough food, air and water) up to 50% of light-speed and then to stop, turn round, and get back to earth you’d only need the entire GDP produced by every country on Earth…..ever! :rolleyes:

This is proven science, as for food for the trip, have you never seen star trek
tea earl grey please

I’d try suspended animation. It’s got to be easier…..but that’s only slowing time (for yourself), not time-travel! 😀

Is there a difference, if you build a time machine to go to the future does it disappear or does it just sit there for say 20 years while the world goes speeding by, but to you it would be instantaneous:D

Well, it’s just about word for word on there as PeeDee has put down, so one will just have to draw ones own conclusions on that, unless PeeDee owns up:eek:

…traveling at 50% light speed for even a few years (say 4) when you got back to earth probably hundreds of years have past, but your only 4 years older.:D

Bruggen130. Now that old chap makes sense to me,;) knowing just how old you are, may I suggest we both get into space for the next 20 yrs, I think we both could do with a few knocking off.May even consider taking Sky High with us, he too has a sense of humour;):D

light

The speed of light is about 186.282.00 thousand miles per/sec in a vacuum,
you don’t need to exceed the speed of light to time travel, all the apollo astronauts aged less than people back on earth as they went to the moon (only by millionths of a second) it’s know as time dilation the faster you travel
the less you age compared to someone standing still. Mass also has an effect
on time, all the worlds gps systems have to take in to account time dilation,
the time on the surface of the earth is not same as the satellites in orbit, so they have to be altered daily or your sat/nav would be yards out.

Oh, I don’t think it came from there at all.

I think he harvested the idea from somewhere else entirely.

Well, I know the origin of PeeDee’s theory about the speed of darkness even if the rest of you seem not to! :p

You obviously come from the “Dark side,” Darth Vader, 😉

The speed of darkness is the obverse of the speed of light. There is no “speed of darkness” unless you are describing the speed at which light leaves an observed space. Exceeding the speed of light will produce the effect of going back in time according to the special relativity theory.

But this thread is about time, so we must include the possibilities of time travel through wormholes, black holes and cosmic strings.

I’d go back to a time when Lincoln was just a city with a stunning Cathedral 😉

Only joking.
