The Time Machine

Many of us observe Albert Einstein as the first to come up with the idea of time travel in his theory of special relativity that helped inspiring a 4th dimension travel. Hollywood made a movie in 1960 as a remake in 2002 of the 1895 science fiction writer H.G.Wells who created a story of time travel ten years before Einstein's special theory of relativity. In his special theory predicting allowing time travel the 1960 fame tells the story of our hero telling friends of an extraordinary adventure into the future in his uncle’s time machine. that travel many times faster than the environment's second.A lot of us believe we when we reach light speed time goes backward. Einstein was adamant we cannot reach light speed alone let a lone exceed it. It is cause by the special theory gravitational equivalence effect in inertia (? what we refer to as a G-force property in motion ) on a light speed scale. The pressure is so heavy in weighing down forces matter to compress or think in the direction of travel. It requires an infinite amount of energy the universe hasn't got to overcome it. Not only that but light is traveling a distance of300,000km ahead of us every second.


Even we where at light speed we would never be able to catch up with the distance in every second. Mathematics projects it as a maximum speed limit we would observe the universe travel not any slower than 3km/s. In other words time is not stopped.

As light takes just under 8 minutes reach us from the sun we observe the sun as it was 8 minutes ago every second. The light we're going to observe 8 minutes into the future had just left the sun right now. We are observing sunlight as the sun was 8 minutes in the past every second.

Traveling in a time machine it would have to some how allow that real time to align earth real time in the distance between earth and the sun. It should never be able to because the future on earth would always be the distance from earth to the sun every second. The same with light. It will always be 300,000km ahead of us every second even if we were traveling at light speed.

One of the brightest stars we can observe in a clear night called Sirius major for instance is 26 times more powerful than our own stare (our sun) 8 years and 7 months away every second. If we observed it in 2010 we were actually seeing it as it was in 2002 every second.

Further into the past is Polarius as it was 1066 in the earth's past today every second. Any astronomer there in their real time at the opposite end of the distance would be observing earth in the time of Shakespeare. Our time traveler's machine would have to be slowed down by at lest 944 years every second for Poarius time to catch up if we are to view it in real time.

We take time for granted. We schedule our daily lives round it. We take for granted bus and train time table scheduling. Television stations regularly schedule programs round time. We program our recorders round it. We schedule our time round meetings. The biggest thing about time we take for granted is the second. Sports commentators specially in motor sports win and loose our sports heroes by fractions of seconds. It has become an iatrical part of sport.

In the 1960 movie our would be traveler narrates his story. The machine was tucked away in a corner of a side shed of the main house looking like a sleigh fitted with a large circler disc towering behind the passenger seat. He seated in scanning the control panel thoughtfully for a minute. Cracking his knuckles in anticipation he gingerly throttled a lever forward. The disk behind began moving rotating a few slow revolutions. Nothing seemed to be happening.

When he eased back, the disk wound to a stop. The shed environment seemed the same as he left it a moment ago. He observed a burning candle stick a few centimeters shorter than it was a moment ago. Encouraged with a little smile he throttled forward again the disk rotating a little faster. This time he kept on eye on the yellow flame of the candle stick trickling down the candle at speed.

Observing the candle our traveler would have to have been traveling slowly though the environment’s time. Provided the shed’s environment’s time flowed normally our traveler was travailing independently. From his point of view the environment seemed to moving as if twice as fast.According to Einstein's special theory of relativity our traveler was observe his environments time very differently. But according to the movie our traveler's uncle must have discovered a way tap into a way to generate time to travel though the environment's time independently. This independent time could well be the 4th dimension most of us are wondered and read about. While our environment’s time is fixed the 4th dimension is a variable time in parallel with us. Our traveler was traveling the 4th dimension in parallel with his environment. The slower the machine went the faster the environment’s time appeared to be.If we observed a clock the second hand would have appeared to move twice as fast showing us on principle our traveler had to be travailing twice as slow as the environment’s second. Making an interesting observation of our traveler observing our environment time speeding up he had to have actually been decelerating. And vice versa observing the environment's time slow down he had to have accelerated.

In doing so he had to be catching up with the environment’s second. Time should continue every environment minute every hour in every environment day every week in every environment month for years. There will come a point where the environment would have been moving so fast it would turn into a blur. If the environment’s time is a fixed constant this will probably begin within 60 times as slow. (Observing an environment minute per second).In just the equivalent of six of months worth traveling a whole environment year would have passed. Left to continue would travel twice as slow. The machine would no doubt be a frozen statue for decades, centuries, even millennia even indefinitely. Turning his attention to the shed window our traveler observed the dress shop mannequins though the shed window across the street changes their fashion like a fast forward video. The sun arched across the sky followed by some puffy cotton wool clouds racing by.

What would an observer in the environment observe? According to our imagination we'd visualize him disappeared into the future. But according to classical physics relativity observers would observe a frozen statue because the traveler is observing every environment second speed up inm time.

It would be similar to what park statues observing the environment. For every billion environment years would pass every second let a lone a 100 years.

When our traveler pushed the lever forward some more the outside world picked up speed. Although the machine would have looked frozen in time it would have been moving al the same. The day faded into dusk followed by rolling clouds and window of stars arching across the shed window at speed fading into day. From the environment’s point of view must have observed our traveller seated frozen in time as still as a statue. After a minute he throttled back. The disc wound down to a stop. If we may make another observation our traveler observes his deceleration stop when normal environment time established itself. From the environment’s point of view the machine would have come alive as it sped up in time back to normal.Getting out he went out side to investigate. Out in the street he observed world war one motor vehicles chugging about the street. He stopped an army officer crossing it making enquires where he was. The officer rather dubious with the integration, our traveller learnt there was a major war with Germany. Further interrogation he learnt the officer was the son of his uncle and learning about his own mysterious fate. Returning to his machine he resumed his journey.

Once again as the machine slowed down he would have observed the environment's time sped up. To the environment the machine must have slowed down to a frozen statue. Our traveller observed the mannequins in the dress shop change their fashion like a fast forward video. The disc behind him happily cruised at speed.

If we observe the minute hand of a clock move as fast as we'd normally observe the second hand we'd observe the environment's time moving a minute per second. We'd be travelling 60 times slow. As far as the environment is concerned would observe us frozen as a statue. Our traveller would observe the outside world an hour per second. In just a minute he would have travailed two and a half environment days. In an hour he would have travailed 6 and a quarter days and a few minutes an environment week.

In the movie he’d taken a few minutes to travel 25 environment years. If his machine was travelling a year slower than the environment second from the travellers point of view it would have been a mere 25 seconds. Soon one by one window panes began smashing evidence of the ravananages of time in a deserted shed. It was 1939 the beginning of world war two. There was a sudden burst of flame all round for a few a second or two disappearing just as quick. The shed environment cleared away into an open park. From the environment’s point of view the machine would have been exposed in the open as still and motionless as ever.Our traveller decided to stop at this point. Pulling back the lever he observed the environment sped up back to normal. As for the frozen in time machine it would have slowly came alive as it sped up back up to normal. By the time it wound down to a stop it was in the middle of 1966. When our traveller got out he observed a strange panic in the street to him the 1960’s futuristic car styling of cars entangled parked everywhere like in a disaster movie.He had dropped in on a nuclear attack on London. His eyes opened wide to flow of Melton lava rolling towards him. He raced headlong to his machine jumping in slamming forward the throttle lever just in time a red sheet rolled over him.

He narrated what it was like to be entombed inside, the darkness and the cold. The disk behind him was a racing bluer. From the environment’s point of view the machine was a frozen still and lifeless. His machine was travelling millions of times slower as the environment's second. It appeared in the movie his survival from the lava time alone protected him from harm. From his point of view in just a few moments he had travelled a few centuries. His counter was flashing the seconds, minutes, hours days, weeks, months and years in a bluer. He could not know how long he was entombed. But he was at lest travelling into the future.Travelling extra slow the unchanging speed of his environment will appear as streaks of light. It would be impossible to determine motion because of the illusion of motion. Our traveller’s machine is stationary but the motion of the streaks appearing towards him from the vanishing point ahead will appear as if the machine is moving though time. From the environment’s point of view our traveller seated in his machine and machine would appear frozen. From the travellers point of view the vanishing point will always be ahead of him never caching up with it.If we observe the hour hand sped up as fast as we'd normally obverse the second hand adding up all the seconds of an hour tells us the environment observes us 3 thousand 600 times as slow. From our point of view though we'd observe the environment's hour pass the equivalent of every second. In an equivalent of an hour of travelling two and a half environment days would pass. By a day’s worth 6 and a bit environment days (nearly a week) would have passed by. This will continue though every environment week for months at a time. Every environment month will seem to pass 60 times faster, during which time every year in every environment decade, millennia, millions and billions even for trillions of centuries. As far as the environment is concerned we'd be still as statue.Adding up all the seconds of a day tells us we would be slowed down even further to 86 thousand 400 times as slow as the environment second observing the environment's day sped up the equivalent of a second. As far as the environment is concerned 86 thousand 400 times as slow would see us still as a statue. Give and take a couple of days difference in each calendar month in just one minutes worth of travelling we'd be a couple of months into the future. We'd be observing 86 thousand 400th of a normal environment day stretched as long as an equivalent second.

Adding up all the seconds of a week (the seconds of day times 7) tells us we would be slowed down even further by a week observing every environment week sped up the equivalent of a second. As far as the environment is concerned we would be frozen still in time. Environment observers would not be able to observe us moving 604 thousand 800 times as slow as the environment second.

If we add up all the seconds in a month (operating on the principle of taking into account of the different days of each month all the seconds of a week times 1.44) we'd be that much slower than the environment second observing roughly the differences the days of each month per second. In just one minute 5 environment years would have passed 300 in an hour and in a day 432 thousand. As far as the environment is concerned we'd be frozen in time.

If we slowed down even further to a year slower than the environment second adding up all the seconds of a year (all the seconds of a day times 365) we should be should be 31 million 536 thousand times as slow as the environment second. If we add up all the seconds of a decade per second we need to take into account of extra day at the day at the end of every February (leap year) every 4 years added onto the total seconds of ten years. We’d be travelling all that total number of seconds slower than the environment second observing each decade pass the equivalent of a second. The same math's applies adding up all the seconds of a century. The same applies if we observe the environment millennia per second. We can be slowed down even further observing a million years, a billion or a trillion years per second.There have been many theories in the past about the origins of the universe. The most recent and popular is the big bang. To most of us it seems illogical a universe to suddenly burst into being in a enormous amount of energy from nothing that supposed to have occurred 15 million years ago. Whiten the first second it supposed to have grown a couple of billion, billion kilometres (1 and 24 zeros 10'24) in diameter and believed to be still expanding to this day.

If we observed the first second of the so called big bang a billion years per second would only take the equivalent of 15 seconds to this day. The universe is only 15 billion years old so far. In one minute the universe would be 60 billion and in a day's travelling 86 thousand 400 billion. And that's not to mention if we add up all the seconds of a week's worth of travelling our point of view of travelling let a lone counting a month, a year a decade.

In 1900 a German physicist Max Planck announced he found a formulae that fits predicting energy, dimension, weight and time, all come in a mind boggling fixed units of time known as Planck’s constant. It is the foundation of quantum physics. A Planck length is the smallest length of the universe predicting the diameter across the single point of supper dense gravity trapping space and time deep in the centre of black holes called a singularity. It is mind blowing tiny 43 decimal zeros and 1 of a centimetre.(10 to the minus 43 centimeters, 10-43cm respectively)The smallest amount of time is predicted to be when a particle of light (a photon) crosses a singularity. This works out to be 32 decimal zeros and 1 fraction of a second. (10 to the minus 32). Quantum physics tells us light quantum jumps the reciprocal of a Planck time,( 10 to the 43, 1 and 43 zeros) Planck length 300 thousand kilometres by a second. It is the same amount of time the second hand of clocks move a division. At that velocity it takes 8 minutes to reach earth from the sun only 8 light minute away. The light we see now left the sun 8 minutes in the past.

What ever sun activity occurs in real time will not be observed until 8 minutes into the future. By the time a one hour TV program light has travelled 10 thousand and 80 million kilometres giving us a light hour. Adding up all the seconds of a day gives us a light day. So too, if we add up all the seconds all the seconds of a week, a month and of course the familiar light year expression.

For the mind boggling tiny size singularities are extremely heavy. They tip the scales well over several hundred thousand trillion, trillion tones or more. If we to travel a Planck time we'd be travelling the reciprocal (10’43/s) times faster than the environment second. At this point the environment would now appear to us as fixed frames every second. The equivalent would observe us frozen in time 10'46 years every second. A trillion years would appear less than a second to us.If we add up all the seconds of every minute, hour day, week, month or years all adds up. From the universes point of view we would be as still as a statue forever.

Quantum physics tells us photons shouldn’t travel in a smooth sin wave but though time in a more or less a saw tooth waveform. The wavelength would be that of a Planck length.The combined mass from the combined nuclear reactions of all the stares in all the galaxies of the universe is a visible light part of our environment’s radiation. This includes invisible waveforms such as inferred wavelengths that are longer than visible light we can’t see with our naked eyes. Remote controls we use everyday are inferred radio beams. Shorter than visible light are Ultraviolet (UV) X- ray and gamma rays.Physicists detect these from sound recorders as static we commonly hear when a radio or TV station is not tuned into a station properly. In fact a great deal is from the universes. We occasionally hear a squeak, crackle and pop or two. Theses are just random occurrences. Astronomers are listening for any signs of any artificial constant.

If our eyes could observe the mains lines and appliances we'd observe waves upon waves radiating from them 16 mm 60 per second. We'd also observe radio and TV station signals, part of our electromagnetic radiation environment. The shortest wavelengths are between a few hundred millimetres (2 decimal zeros and a 1 of a centimetre) and a Pico meter ( 6 decimal zeros and 1 ).

Classical physics (as electrical and electronic text books) describes them as a smooth sin wave. A swinging pendulum cycle for example begins from veridical rest accelerates to a maximum peak, decelerates to a stop, reverse direction reaccelerating towards the opposite peak, decelerating to stop again and reverse direction reaccelerating repeating the cycle. The unit per second is a Hertz. The mains being an electrical alternating current is 60 times a second. The standard metric system prefixes Kilo- tells us a thousand, Mega, for a million, Gaga for a thousand million,.(Hz, KHz, MHz and GHz, respectively).

Quantum physics though, tells us each cycle should be quantum jumping 10’32 Planck time per second (10’32/s) from start to finish in every cycle. If we travel 60 times slower than the environment second we’d observe the mains frequency a Hz per second or as 60 per minute. It tells us the slower we go the shorter the wavelengths (or the higher the frequencies) consequence.For a time traveller travelling slower than the environment's time the environment’s the radiation will seem to increase in energy. Moving very slow the frequencies would become so high a simple log fire would be enough too pour forth the equivalent of X ray and gamma ray radiation that would rival the searing heat of a nuclear blast that would incinerate our traveller to a crisp.It was once believed the same scenario in our natural world should have applied which does not happen. The classical physics approach is what is called the Ultraviolet light or X- and gamma ray catastrophe.

It took Max Planck to come up with a solution with a fresh mathematical insight to the Ultraviolet light catastrophe problem. Planck’s constant tells us prevents it. Physicists did recognize Planck’s constant had explained how the UV, x and gamma ray catastrophe could not happen, but it was not quickly accepted as the true nature of things.It did not receive much attention until 1905 when Albert Einstein was intrigued with Planck’s constant. He pictured James Clark Maxwell’s vision of smooth and infinitely continues electromagnetic waves travelling though our environment, but only appears smooth and continues like we see digital signals as smooth and continues moving pictures displayed in our digital video systems. He reviled Planck’s constant helped him explain the mystery of the photo electric effect we are familiar with today in solar cell technology.Time travel will enviably effect the way we observe the colors of our environment. In normal circumstances Maxwell predicted the colors we observe are just different frequencies of common sunlight. Isaac Newton should be a name familiar to us for his work in showing color is a clear manifestation directly from it. He spent a great deal of time directing beams onto glass prisms intrigued that the colors of the rainbow displayed on his wall come from clear light.

As Maxwell explained what we observe are our eyes picking up the various changes in the environment's clear light, red the longest (low frequency) while violet the shortest (high frequency). He would have pointed out what we observe the clear light of the electric mains lighting is just one of many invisible electromagnetic radiation. It color casts the environment with a hint of a slight yellow tinge picked up in photos taken in electric lighting without a flash.

Invisible inferred, X-ray and gamma rays streaming from the sun is constantly filtered though the earth's atmosphere resulting in different color temperatures of our world depending on the time of day and high and low pressure weather systems Highs provide more intense light even in the winter months. Depending on how slow we go we should observe them change dramatically from one extreme to the next within minutes.

Sunsets and dawns will no longer appear the usual red and orange contrast. Ocean and vegetation colour will not look natural either. With increasing frequency comes increasing energy and pressure. Waves of low pressure weather will inevitably take on high pressure features alternating rapidly with blinding high pressure in high speed waves. We will not recognize morning, midday and evening contrasts no matter the session. Sounds too will be affected. It will lose it’s base range sounding increasingly tiny the slower we go. All this at extreme slowness.To be slow our traveller’s machine had had to have generated a weight that was independent of the environment weighing him and the machine's time down to an independent crawl. The environment would have look compressed within the dimensions of the ever decreasing Second. This is what Einstein described as a gravitational equivalence which is predicted what happens to time in black holes. The shorter our traveller observed the environment second the less distance light travelled.From our traveller’s point of view the shed environment should have appeared twice as thing. Classical physics observes if a minuet as fast the environment would have looked 60 times. The shed environment would have observed the machine squashed horizontally. An image editor program gives us an idea how that would work when we distort an image by pulling down on the top of the picture. Our traveller and his machine would appear stretched long ways.With increasing compression comes increasing pressure. With increasing pressure comes increasing heat. If travelling a minute as slow according to classical physics our traveller would have experienced the shed's ambient temperature increased by 60 times well into suffocation proportions. According to the ultra violet catastrophe principle shouldn’t work like that.We read a lot about black holes acting as time machines. If most of us believe gravity slows time it seems an intriguing idea how our traveller’s machine could work acting like the properties of a black hole. There is another source out their in the universe that acts like a singularity called dark matter. In any case it’s intriguing to think of the use of an artificial singularity or even dark matter as the machines core function. Yet there is a more interesting idea time can be distorted following Newton's second law of motion predicting what we refer to as G-forces in straight lines and centrifugal forces in circular motion "where there is a force there is an equal and opposite force" developed in extreme velocity.

We feel its effects weighing us down like gravity.Boy racers in competition race take off experience it in a straight line as if a few kilograms weighing them back into their seats in the opposite direction as the accelerate forward for a second of two. Imagine riding a rocket sled propelled in a straight line from a standing start to a 160km (100 miles) in a second. Imagine 300,000km by the time we say one thousand and one.

Newton's law projects 0 to 160k/s we should be under the extreme stress of a few tones pulling us back until 80km in half a second at which point we decelerate under the same stress this time trying to pull us forward in the opposite direction as we come to a stop in 80km in another half second.

Would this extreme acceleration and deceleration be enough to effect time? Maybe not if only at light speed is any indication. Perhaps, but our traveller’s machine could have just as easily operated on a circular motion principle to achieve the same result. Our traveller’s uncle must have discovered a way to tap into or at lest simulate the properties of the 4th dimension.

Using circular motion as a method to distort time is an intriguing theory.Light caught in the gips of a black hole will be bent into a orbit round it. Unless in the direct path viewing from the outside light would appear invisible. Some of us believe light will spiral out of control to the singularity. Form inside the universe should appear as a total white out. The circumference will be the same distance if travelling a straight line. For example a light second will be 300,000km. Anybody familiar with Pi will realize diameter equals circumference over pi will project a diameter of 95,393km across the orbit. Space is 3-D so there will be a 3-D volume involved.

The volume should be measured in a 3-D based on Planck’s constant in every possible angle in spherical directions from the singularity.Operating on the principle of the properties of black hole gravitation deep in the centre of the black void should be a Planck time which means the gravitational pressure has squeezed everything to equal proportions. If we think in terms of gravitational force an example of the earth’s gravitational force of a kilogram per cubic meter at sea level. Those into math’s can work out the total gravitational tonnage squeezing the whole earth. The tonnage of a singularity will be based on Planck’s constant to the diameter of the singularity.So what would happen if our traveler travels though the environment's time sped up? Operating on the principle when he observe the environment speed up when slowed down he should observe the environment slow down. Twice as fast we should observe the environment twice as slow. respectively. If by a minute should be 60 times. The environment's second should be stretched that much as long. At this speed we would be in parallel with the mains mains frequency which means we'd be observing 60th environment second every equivalent second. We would view the mains as 1Hz.

We would observe this though the throbbing of the mains lighting from minimum to maximum brightness like a vehicle eradicator. Office workers would be frozen while desk fan blades rotate slowly in backgrounds. Then there's the radio and TV station radiation permeating the environment. These would appear as much lower frequencies distorting the the overall picture looking like TV interference lines. Music and sound would have no treble range. All we'd that would be audible would be base beating that was once the treble. The throbbing lighting color would have changed into a red hue.Room temperature too would seem to plummet.

Things would be a lot worse if we travel by an hour. Adding up all the seconds tells us we'd be 3 thousand 600 times as fast as the environment's second. We'd observe environment second hands of clocks move as slow as we'd normally observe the hour hand. By this time high pitch whistling of the environment's UV and X-Ray radiation should be becoming barely audible. From the observer's in the environment's time frame point of view we'd be moving to fast for their eyes to track us. It would seem we'd disappeared into the future. Not from our point of view we wouldn't. We observe every environment second drag on the equivalent of an hour at a time.

If we add up all the seconds of a day tells us we'd be 86 thousand 400 times as fast as the environment's second. From our option point of view would put us a day into the future in a second or escalating exponentially a day every second indefinitely as long as we continued to travel the environment's time.

If we apply this to al the seconds of a week we can expect the same, a month or a year even telling us how much faster than the environment's second observing it that much slower applied to a decade, a century, a millennia, a million years a billion years or a trillion centuries respectively. And so according to Quantum physics we will not be able top go any faster than a planick time. That would be like the time inside a black hole.
