The speed of light is the distance light travels just under 300,00km by the time we say one thousand and one. Sunlight we see now is what the sun was just under 8 minutes ago every second.

Time travel
"What if you could travel to parallel worlds, the same year, the same earth only different dimensions? A world where the Russians ruled America, or were dreams of being a supper star came true. Or San Francisco was a maximum security prison. My friends and I have found the gateway. Now the problem is, finding a way back home"
Those were the words of the opening address of each episode of a science fiction TV series called the sliders. The star of the show was an artificial wormhole created from experimenting with a antigravity experiment.
The series was inspired by the science quandary of what happens to time lines if history was different. Some of us believe it is possible to travel back into the past and ahead into the future. If we travel to the past from the past point of view we would be a visitor from the future. If we travel to the future from the future point of view we would be a visitor from the past. And vice versa a person from the future visiting our present from their point of view visiting the past and a visitor from the past visiting the present is visiting the future point of view from our point of view a visitor from the past. What ever way you look at it is ways a point of view perspective.
If travel from the present to the future we won't know what had happened between the time we left our present to the time we arrive at the future point unless we knew ahead of time We would have to be brought up to speed on events. If we visit the past, from the past point of view we would know what their future holds point of view. From the past point of view can their future be changed as the future for the present by a visitor from the future?
What of the present if Richard Pierce first powered flight was meticulous at recording things? Or if the titanic got away with barely scrapping the iceberg? It is only a matter of a difference of attitudes, decisions a few meters or a few seconds in history that could have made all the difference to our present.
There is a little known story of an Australian sniper connection serving the western front in world war one who once had a German corporal called Adolph Hitler right in the cross hairs of his rifle sight. If the sniper didn't have a conscience where would the present for us be today? And Hitler could easily have been killed in many other ways during the many battles he was involved. What is the odds of a man like Hitler surviving the war to go on to create the present for us?
What would our present be like if the Russians called president Kennedy's bluff during the Cuban crisis in 1962? What if the circumstances with Lady Diana was different? What if the circumstances leading up to September 11th was different? All it takes is a matter of a second or a meter or two difference decision from the past to effect our present. Obviously alternate realities from the present form we know it. Imagine what our presents would be like if history could be changed on a regular basis by interfering time travelers from the past or future. It would be continuous kayos for present time lines.
Operating on the principle it has been suggested that all the history changes we can think of may exist in parallel with each on separate dimensions. That and from physical evidence obtained from particle accelerator experiments what is called the entanglement theory in Quantum physics. It has been observed in the last hundred years particles of the atom seem to exist in several planes at the same time that our dimension is overlapped and entangled with.
The TV series plot was a science student Quinn Murray's antigravity experiment turned wormhole gateway to theses parallel universes. Wormholes are believed to be created by black holes sinking deep wells in the dimension of space like a apple wormhole in this case clear across the other side of the universe. In the case of the series a vertex directly to alternate time lines of the same earth.
Time travel started with a novel by H.G.Wells in 1889 about a time traveler traveling to the future and Albert Einstein's 1905 special theory of relativity allowing time travel to be possible. More interest was a rewritten generality of the special theory published during the second year of world war one allowing the existence wormholes. It projects it was possible by the amount matter in stars and planets weigh space shrinking it inwards collapsing round the stars and planets holding them together known as Einstein's gravity.
The major significance of a wormhole is believed to be the remains of stars far bigger than our sun that had gone supernova. What is left is the remains of the gravity so dense it can easily be several hundred thousand trillion tones per square centimeter of gravitational compression heavy a volume smaller than an atom called a singular.
Where light speed isn't fast enough to escape the singularity it is caught in a endless loop. We can only see light when it is a straight line to our eyes. Light in circle is not. This boundary is several million kilometers across called the event horizon. With no light to see the singularity it ends up the same color as space hiding it. It is equal as demonstrating pasting in you operating system paint program a circle the same color as the canvas. All black holes are is a singularity like a black full stop from a word program pasted to a black painted paint program canvas.
At the time of the lunch of the TV series it was ambitious state-of-the-art sciences exploring entanglement with an over lap with a parallel series called star gate 1 debuted a short time latter. The movie length pilot of the sliders started the ball rolling about a gradation student called Quinn Mallory experimenting with antigravity in his basement. In the sliders pilot Mallory got more than he bargained for. His experiment crossed the boundaries of the dimensions tunneling his laboratory space time space time using gravity of in contact with another earth popularly known as parallel universes.
When Mallory showed his visiting university professor and co-worker what he had discovered he demonstrated a remote control device he built. Het pointing in midair pressing a button the way we point our remote controls. An electronic been streamed from it.
The artificial wormhole midair whirlpool of energy quickly expanded from nothing to several meters in diameter. Mallory's girlfriend and the professor blinked with shock at the roaring hurricane wind storm blowing hole in mid air flaying their hair.
Quinn shouted above the roar asking would they do with this opportunity to see what's on the other side. The professor was a very reluctant holding back. His girl friend was beside her self with excitement.
"You mean we can just like, slide though this and BOOM! we're on another planet"!!
"NO"! exclaimed Mallory. "Same planet! Different dimension".
As giddy as a little school girl over puppy love she talk them into jumping much to the professors arguments against it. The pair argued for and against to the backdrop of the roaring vortex.
It took quite a bit a bit of persuasion to the reluctant Quinn and the professor, but she finally persuaded Quinn to let them try. If you had the opportunity to slide a wormhole to see what's on the other side, would you? When they finally decided to take the plunge they stepped close to steady themselves ready to go They didn't get the chance.
Gravity of the parallel world controlling the vertex unexpectly snatched at them accelerating them falling them in like acceleration from the roof of a tall sky scarper the vertex closing behind them leaving a deserted lab The gravity of the parallel world pulled them though like falling the side of a tall sky scraper on a sideways plane ejecting them out of the open end of the wormhole. The motion and energy was all gravitational forces movement.
An unfortunate miss hap caused a premature opening of the vertex deleting the original home world coordinates. After that the vertex found what ever coordinates that it found at random. All though the series each episode was an excessive in trying their luck the vertex would strike lucky the right coordinates back to their world. Episode after episode they landed in different alternate time line realities trying to get back home.
On some visits they meat their flair share of their doubles other worlds there was no sigh. It is the key to being in two places and alive and dead at the same time theory in quantum physics. When our doubles are killed or never born in a world other doubles including ourselves carry on living in the other worlds. It is as if we exist alive and dead or don't exist at the same time to the universes as a hole.
Our doubles live alternate lives from us. Our double famous on one world on another is just an average person in different circumstances. The circumstance and decisions of our doubles are all different outcomes.
We wonder how did Mallory’s experiment manager it?
There is a lot of information about the universe at large at local libraries on hyperspace and the universe and on the internet on the theory of how wormholes could be created. Goggle images under the key word wormhole, hyperspace or the sliders wormhole in UTUBE animations that have videos and still images of all sizes as large as computer desk top wall paper sizes available. The images also include the web site address the images were taken from.
Mallory had created the legendary Einstein Pulaski bridge as the earth's weather creates tornadoes. They are natures symmetry systems. Some pretty fancy arithmetic involving a lot of number crunching, taking into account of the pressure to survive sliding inside wormholes, not to mention the gravitational stress forces, the G-forces in the velocities, including temperature control formulated for three dimensional models a person can survive in just like projecting how much a person can survive the three dimension inside world of a tornado forming including temperature calculations.
Mallory however had found a formulae stabilizing an artificial wormhole that was constantly in touch with the gravitational pull of another earth in a different dimension while it was open. He built a remote control unit saving the information in it's memory. All he had to do was to point in mid air pressing a button and the tiny microchip circuitry did the rest A beam rayed out spreading open the vertex. The hyperspace tunnel searched for the gravity the same as the earth origin like a missile looking for a target.
All the sliders had to was to innate the timer and jump in letting the hyperspace tunnel take them to what ever alternate earth it linked with. The gravity of that world did the rest snatching at them literally falling the sliders though it like falling from the sky scraper in a sideways plane.
Theoretically there should be many earth's in the universe that evolved differently. The timer latched onto a match to Quinn's earth. The sliders always landed in worlds exactly the same gravitational force and atmosphere pressure. The only thing was alternate histories both geologically and human made.
Thus began the on going adventures of the sliders sliding from one world to the next hopping the next one would take them back home all throughout the series. The first indication of the strange nature of quantum physics goes back to 1803 to an English Physist Thomas Young investigating light with a simple experiment that supported it as a waveform. Young directed a tiny beam though a double slit to a light sensitive film. To his surprise the film recorded a set of light and dark exposes. ( Reminiscent to a digital bar code paten ). The paten was the result of two beams of light waving like waves that had to have been intervening with each other.
When he tested a single slit the film recorded the same interference paten. No mater what he did the film always recoded the same Patten. For light to be made of particles certainly does things particles could not, only interfering waves. The wired thing light does things waves could not do conformed by Albert Einstein when he published his Photo Electric effect theory.
In the 1920's there was increasing evidence atoms behave the same way. The weirdest thing light and atoms randomly chooses to be particles or waves when ever they feel like it whether we observe them or not. The weirdest thing ever the mere fact of observing them they seem to do the opposite we expect as if to spite us.
Being a wave is described by the classical example of a pebble dropped into a pond where ripples radiate from the center caused by the displacement of water by the pebble.
As early as the mid 1920's the standard model of the atom was seen as an outer orbiting particle called electrons racing round the core trapped by the attractive force of huge core particles called protons holding the electrons in orbit like the gravity of the sun on the planets of our solar system. Today is though of as how nature holds matter together. The truth of the matter by the turn of the 1930's the behavior had really become wired to a point of being contradictory and illogical including the nuclear force being stronger than gravity.
It had become clear not the atom but the effect of the electrons that appear to exist in lots of places at the same time as a cloud of no certainties only possibilities. Never the less, a Danish physicists Niels Bore proposed evidence they jump from one orbit to another and here is the wired part, seemingly without crossing the space between. Electrons seem to teleport from one orbit to the other on a light speed in our bodies on a light speed scale every second of our lives.
Albert Einstein was always venomously opposed to such quantum physics poppy-cock. He was not alone. Two physicist colleges a Russian Boris Polvoski and a American Nathan Rosen shared his views. In 1935 in a attempt to discredit or at lest question Quantum physics they teamed up to publish a report on what they though of the current quantum physics ideas.
To the three Physist the most disturbing quantum physics claim current experiments have shown evidence the particles of the atom exist in two places at the same time theoretically including the whole universe influencing each other clear across the other implied an instantaneous exchange
The EPR trio were very dubious any particle existing in to different planes at the same time let a lone influencing each other in the vastness of the universe. This implied faster than light speed the trio could not swallow. This instantaneous action at a distance spooked them.
Particle accelerators since have discovered even weirder particles called Quarks. They are fond in the atom's core believed to act as the strong force gluing the two huge nucleus particles together. Particle accelerator research has shown evidence Quarks can't exist on their own only in pairs or triplets and are notoriously cannot be predicted. It is as if they know they are being predicted and do the opposite and emerge out of nothingness for no reason at all at that. It is believed the act is the strong force that holds the atom together.
This had lead to the believe of an entanglement theory based on the behaviour of the of the atom. It was once a theory that what atoms did in this part of the universe a copy was created clear across the other side.
Think of computers as an example of back up systems designed for in the middle of a power cuts where they restore themselves to full operation when the power comes back on. Operating on the same principle in theory scientists may have destroyed the universe (or at lest our part anyway) equivalent of causing a short circuit cutting power playing round with experiments a dozen times over in last fifty years in particle accelerators.
During black outs time has no meaning to computers. In the same way the behaviour of the atom simply reset themselves based on the the template memory of the original universe and since time has no meaning the world as we know it is none the wiser to what had just transpired at any time.
Comes to mind a 1984 New Zealand film called the quiet earth where such a scenario happened to the world. An Auckland university professor woke up from suicide to find he was the only person alive in the whole of Auckland region until he meat a only two others who had died at the time of the incident. The world was still very unstable. At the end of the picture funnily the audience views the professor looking at the time Auckland was back at the peak of the last ice age, before the Auckland's first volcanic outburst.
The heart of the sliders program when the EPR trio did some math's and physical experiment's on a couple of back to back paper funnels found it could be possible the deep well created by a black star could link up with another clear across the universe. Think of two kitchen funnels joined at the spouts forming a dimensional tunnel from one spout to the other in space that has become known as the legionary bridge the classical subject of wormholes. That and the spooky entanglement leading to parallel universe scenarios.
Did Mallory's antigravity experiment tap into the universe resources? Did the experiment able to manipulate the atom forces to creat a higher dimension of a black hole to great a wormhole?
A black hole is what's left of the pure gravity of a supper massive stare. Our sun won't cut it because it's much to small. All stars are nuclear reactors holding themselves together against the pull of gravity like the air inside pressure inside a balloon holding it full against the earth's air pressure.
They do this with enough run away energy to fuse stable hydrogen atoms into each other like a welder fuses metal. In doing so the hydrogen atoms are turned into stable helium atoms. In doing so light particles called photons explode away as the light we see in the universe.
When a supper massive star uses up it's hydrogen supply the energy is increased for a while puffing out the the star straining at the seems. The star strains until the gravitation pull cannot hold onto it any longer and detonates into what we call a supernovae. Now all that's left is the super massive star's gravity. Remains falls back to the center of gravity on a break neck light speed scale. There is no hydrogen to helium conversion so no photons are produced. So the star becomes a black void. This is what we call a lack hole.
One episode the professor's double to a news media conference talked about how science believes there are parallel dimensions accessed by what was referred to Einstein Pulaski Rosenberg bridge system accentually a wormhole named after Einstein and couple of Quantum physics critics a Russian and American Boris Podolskv and Nathan Rosen who teamed up in 1935 to produce a paper questioning the validity. In the hope of revealing gapping holes their paper was not at all flattering. Never the less from their points of view disappointingly inconclusive. Their questioning has became known as the Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen, (EPR) Paradox. The theory of atomic particles being in two places at once specially got their criticism.
Others believed if a black hole was spinning at light speed, the law of circular motion should produce enough centrifugal force to pry open an aperture forming a ringed black hole the gravity preventing the centrifugal force from evaporating into nothing we could travel though entering the dimensions of a parallel universe.
However if the law of circular monition works in the black void the infinitely dense and zero volume of the singularity would obviously need an infinite amount of centrifugal force which is mathematically impossible. According to classical physics since light speed is finite would produce a finite centrifugal force way not enough for an infinite requirement. But Quantum physics says considering the wired behavior of atomic particles anything is possible.
Another problem is the circle of the event horizon thousands of times larger than the microscopic point of the singularity at light speed imposing a problem. If a black hole was spinning at light speed classical physics tells us the laws of circular motion tells us the singularity would inevitably be spinning thousands of times faster than the light speed.
If a singularity was spinning at light speed then the distance of the event horizon is enviably slower. Quantum physics suggest the baize behavior of atomic particles get round this by breaking the laws of classical physics circular motion to make both the singularity and the event horizon to spin at the same time then. If black holes keep to the classical laws centrifugal force in open space has a infinite area to disperse though.
A season later the series introduced to alternate world beings called Crowmags illustrating different life forms evolved from any number of the combinations including us and our entire history on earth of our ancestral brothers the Cro-Magnon men that once lived along side us humans. In recent years Scientific American Magazine has published a paper showing DNA evidence the human race came within inches of becoming extinct in this world.
Theory goes billions of alternate realties these Crowmags evolved along side humans on one earth that was at constant war with these humans for centuries. In the sliders program Crowmags where also sliders bent on enslaving humans in the different worlds they traveled to. If you saw the series one can only imagine what it would be like to travel to parallel human worlds for ourselves.
The sliders implied implications of doubles that exist in the same space and time as us living different life because of the infinite amount of decisions we make alternately deciding our doubles and us outcome.
