ninja This is my first entry in this requium. burning_eyes Latley I have been studying time travel, although rediculous, fun to persue. So far, I have learned that speed and gravity effect time. It can be traced back to Einstiens theory emo Basically the faster something travels, the more mass it has, and therefore the more force is required to push it, and if a physical item travels at the speed of light, it will have infinite mass, and therefore would require an infinite force to push it. Which is impossible, setting the ground rule that it is impossible to surpass or reach the speed of light.. Or maybe it is possible to reach the speed of light. idea Either way. Stay with me now. There was an experiment tested, to see if speed affects time created many years ago, two clocks were synchronized in a laboritory. And one was sent on an airplane and sent around the world multiple times. While the other remained stationary in the laboratory. The other clock had gained about 30 seconds on the other when it landed. Some would argue this is because of the clockwork. Now if I placed an antique grandfather clock in a jet airplane, and it goes off, and the clock shatters. It does not mean time itself stops. Now, there was accidental evidence, where Muons* were put into an atom smasher, and spun around 99.7% percent (Remember you cannot travel exactaly the speed of time [?]) the speed of light. And decayed in 12 seconds. Although, the previous theory about time would mean that you would have to go into a percent of the speed of light, which would be incredibly difficult to reach. There has also been evidence of gravity affecting time. The same experiment was created, while one clock instead of being sent around the world, it was sent above the earth's atmosphere. And it gained 50 seconds before crashing into the Atlantic ocean. This must be much more useful than speed. Because a percent is difficult to reach, and gravity would be easier to change than the speed of light. Since gravity is affected by mass.. Speed could also relate into a triangular equation. So, if you shrunk the mass on earth... You would gain time, as well as simply walking around your room. Let's think of Neutron stars. They are about a pea size. Living on that, you would gain 30 seconds on earth... Which brings up the question, what is time? Is it mental or physical? Is the past a forever banished thing that can never be retrieved? Or is it accessable, if so, where are the tourists from the future where we have this technology who have decided to take a peak at our lives. Perhaps the present is a fleeting moment of reality which quickly turns into the past. And is the future a hazy uncreated moment? Which also creates the question how does the present relate to the future? Is the future set in stone? Does fate exist? I will need to put some more thought into this.. For now I will give the journal a break.
*Muons are small particales that decay within 2 nanoseconds
