I would go back and warn Bill Gates about Vista.
And Windows 8
I'm no physicist so someone can point out more facts if they know... but i read your link, very cool. but if im interpreting what they said correctly, they are not traveling faster then light, or near light speed, or at all basically.. it wouldnt be moving at all but instead shifting the space around it (just like futurama again lol) so if my pewny mind is interpreting this right, they will not travel through time. (time will pass but you know what i mean, relevent to this topic )I thought that until I saw this work on warp drive. The thing about any FTL drive is that it can be a time machine as well.
I thought that until I saw this work on warp drive. The thing about any FTL drive is that it can be a time machine as well. So if you:
1. Accelerate away from your starting point (e.g. Earth) at relativistic, but sub-light speed,
2. Engage your warp drive going the other way, and then
3. Turn around and reverse the process to get back to your starting point,
Then you wind up going back in time. So I'm not entirely convinced it's impossible anymore. But I also think this might mean that using warp drive sends you to an alternate universe (timeline) from which you can never return. :\
How do you figure? Because you can't change your own past? You could go back in time, kill your other self, and replace yourself, a la Primer. (Note: I didn't make it all the way through Primer.)Time travel is irrelevant in an universe with alternate realities.
You're missing how the acceleration (step 1) shifts your inertial reference frame. Presuming warp drive travels along your current inertial reference frame, you can travel through time relative to your destination. To make your starting point your destination, you just have to do it twice. I looked for a good Youtube video about inertial reference frames being shifted by speed, but didn't find one.I'm no physicist so someone can point out more facts if they know... but I read your link, very cool. but if I'm interpreting what they said correctly, they are not traveling faster then light, or near light speed, or at all basically.. it wouldn't be moving at all but instead shifting the space around it (just like futurama again lol) so if my pewny mind is interpreting this right, they will not travel through time.

Not exactly. The alternate reality wouldn't be that different. I'm thinking that returning aboard a warp ship would seem normal to the person returning. But there would be an alternate reality where the people at home never saw them return. (Possibly two: 50% of the time they would not arrive at their destination; 75% of the time they would not return home again.)sliders!
Edit: It was Voyagers!what show is that? looks familiar
Edit: It was Travelers!

All I remember about it is the lead actor was fooling around with a stunt gun and held it to his head and pulled the trigger. He didn't realize the dummy charge was dangerous and it killed him.
So you're going to have sex with your grandmother?
I just threw up a little.

Eventually the market would stabilize and every stock price would be a constant from the moment the company goes public to the time it goes bankrupt.
Iv seen the consept your refering to described somewere, and unless im miss understanding something like i said - i dont think it applys cause there not actually moving though space. reference frame or not i dont think it matters in this instance.You're missing how the acceleration (step 1) shifts your inertial reference frame.
