time travel

Paul Davies also discusses some existing forms of forward time travel. 

System: Airline flight

Specifications: 920 km per hour for 8 hours

Cumulative time lag:

So travel into the future is a proven fact, even if so far it has been in small, unexciting amounts.

Time Travel

In 1895, H. G. Wells classic story The Time Machine was first published in book form. Wells
wrote, in The Time Machine, that "there is no difference between Time and any of the three
dimensions of Space, except that our consciousness moves along it". From that point on man
wondered about the possibility of time travel. Is time travel really possible? If it is possible,
how? If we could do it, should we? With only a small amount of research one can answer the
first question. Yes, time travel is possible. We do it every day. Our best understanding of time
comes from Einstein's theories of relativity. Prior to these theories, time was widely regarded
as absolute and universal, the same for everyone no matter what their physical circumstances
were. In his special theory of relativity, Einstein proposed that the measured interval between
two events depends on how the observer is moving. For example suppose that Sally and Sam
are twins. Sally boards a rocket ship and travels at high speed to a nearby star, turns around
and flies back to Earth, while Sam stays at home. For Sally the duration of the journey might be
one year, but when she returns and steps out of the spaceship, she finds that 10 years have
elapsed on Earth. Her brother is now nine years older than she is. Sally and Sam are no longer
the same age, despite the fact that they were born on the same day. This is an example of time
travel into the future. In effect, Sally has leaped nine years into Earth's future. Though this
story is fictional, it is an example of a very real concept. The effect known as time dilation
occurs whenever two observers move relative to each other. In daily life we don't notice these
time warps, because the effects are only noticeable when the motion occurs at close to the
speed of light. Even at aircraft speeds, the time dilation in a normal flight is just a few
nanoseconds. However, atomic clocks are accurate enough to record the shift and confirm that
time really is stretched by motion. So travel into the future is a proved fact, even if it has so far
it has been in small, unexciting amounts.Thus far we can see that time travel into the future is
very real and possible. But, when most of us think about time travel we picture a DeLorian with
a “flux capacitor”, disappearing and then reappearing at any date in time whether it be past or
present. As far as Einstein’s theory of relativity tells us, there is no law that would prevent us
from traveling into the past. But, the first problem is building a machine. In Scientific American
Special Edition, Paul Davies tells us of one possible “machine” to the past. In 1974 Frank J.
Tipler of Tulane University calculated that a massive, infinitely long cylinder spinning on its
axis at near the speed of light could let astronauts visit their own past, again by dragging light
around the cylinder into a loop. With a proposal like this for a time machine, our hopes of
meeting our past self at 2 years old begin to shrink. How can you build an infinitely long
cylinder? But in the mid-1980s the most realistic scenario for a time machine was proposed,
based on the concept of a wormhole. In science fiction, wormholes are sometimes called
stargates; they are a shortcut between two widely separated points in space. Jump through a
wormhole, and you might come out moments later on the other side of the galaxy. Though
mentioned and used in many science fiction novels, wormholes are part of the general theory of
relativity, because gravity warps not only time but also space. With this theory, time travel to
the past could be possible if a stable wormhole could be created and towed to desired spot. To
this day this is the best solution for a time machine to the past. So don’t expect to see one built
any time soon, because right now we are not advanced enough to even begin the engineering
involved in a feat like this. However with technology advancing at the rate it is now, you never
know how what scientific break throughs that the future holds. Which leads me to my next
question. Should time travel to the past be pursued? When the atomic bomb was invented and
first detonated, upon witnessing the explosion, its creators had mixed reactions. Isidor Rabi felt
that the equilibrium in nature had been upset -- as if humankind had become a threat to the
world it inhabited. J. Robert Oppenheimer, quoted a fragment from the Bhagavad Gita. "I am
become Death," he said, "the destroyer of worlds." The atomic bomb was a result of mankind’s
need to know about the atom and its power. How different is our pursuit of time travel? Just
for starters let’s say that somehow one of the previously mentioned devises could be built, this
causes some major paradoxes. For example what if a man where to travel back in time and
meet his grandfather and kill him. That means that the man never would have been born to
begin with so how would he have gone back in time to kill his grandfather if he where never
born? Or lets say a man travels to the future and learns a new mathematical theorem, he then
travels back in time and teaches it to a student who at a future date publishes that theorem,
which is the same one that the man read in that future date. So where did the information come
from?Situations like this have led many scientists to believe that there is some undiscovered
law that would forbid time travel to the past. With our current knowledge we have no idea what
would happen if we were able to return to the past. In my research of time travel I have found
that time travel to the future is real and possible, Time travel to the past is theoretically real,
but not yet possible. But do not despair, Who ever said time travel had to be physical? Wells
wrote, in The Time Machine, that "there is no difference between Time and any of the three
dimensions of Space, except that our consciousness moves along it". There is a movie called
somewhere in time. In this movie the main actor goes back in time buy making himself believe
that he is. At first thought this seems very absurd. But so did Wells book in 1895. What if time
is not at all how we think of it? What if all of our minds are somehow connected to time and
space? If time and the measuring of it is connected to our thoughts. We know so little about the
human brain. Perhaps the key to time travel lies in conqoring the human brain. Thomas
Suddendorf of the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, has argued that recollection
of a specific moment, called episodic memory separates people from animals--at least according
to some scientists. With just a thought people can whoosh back to an instant in their memories
or ahead to an imagined event in a process sometimes called mental time travel. Mental time travel comprises the mental reconstruction of personal events from the past (episodic memory)
and the mental construction of possible events in the future. For example, when you hear a
song that reminds you of an event in your life, your mind can actually recreate your exact
feelings and thoughts that you had at that time. Though not the type of time travel I originally
researched, this is one type. So in closing, time travel is theoretically real. Proven to work in
traveling to the future, but as for the past we can only hope to recreate our own life events in
our mind.

Her brother is now nine years older than she is. Sally and Sam are no longer the same age, despite the fact that they were born on the same day. This example illustrates a limited type of time travel. In effect, Sally has leaped nine years into Earth's future. The effect known as time dilation, occurs whenever two observers move relative to each other. In daily life we don't notice these time warps, because the effects are only noticable when the motion occurs at close to the speed of light.

However, atomic clocks are accurate enough to record the shift and confirm that time really is stretched by motion. So travel into the future is a proved fact, even if it has so far been in small, unexciting amounts.
So time travel into the future is easy. But the main question we are concerned about is the past.

With only these two proposals one may begin to think that time travel to the past is impossible. For example, how can you build an infinitely long cylinder? But in the mid-1980s the most realistic scenario for a time machine was proposed, based on the concept of a wormhole.

Wormholes are part of the general theory of relativity, because gravity warps not only time but also space.
With this theory, time travel to the past could be possible if a stable wormhole could be created and towed to desired spot.
But this does not answer the question whether or not time travel should be done. For example lets say that somehow one of the previously mentioned devises could be built, this causes some major paradoxes. For example what if a man where to travel back in time and meet his grandfather and kill him. That means that the man never would have been born to begin with so how would he have gone back in time to kill his grandfather if he where never born?

Mental time travel comprises the mental reconstruction of personal events from the past (episodic memory) and the mental construction of possible events in the future. It is not an isolated module, but depends on the sophistication of other cognitive capacities, including self-awareness, meta-representation, mental attribution, understanding the perception-knowledge relationship, and the ability to dissociate imagined mental states from one's present mental state. These capacities are also important aspects of so-called theory of mind, and they appear to mature in children at around age 4. Furthermore, mental time travel is generative, involving the combination and recombination of familiar elements, and in this respect may have been a precursor to language. Current evidence, although indirect or based on anecdote rather than on systematic study, suggests that nonhuman animals, including the great apes, are confined to a "present" that is limited by their current drive states. In contrast, mental time travel by humans is relatively unconstrained and allows a more rapid and flexible adaptation to complex, changing environments than is afforded by instincts or conventional learning. Past and future events loom large in much of human thinking, giving rise to cultural, religious, and scientific concepts about origins, destiny, and time itself.

Who Killed Pol Pot?
He took his secrets to the pyre and his 1.7 million victims were denied justice. But his death suited some.
Eric Pape reports from Phnom Penh
HE was cremated in a simple jungle ceremony, a bathetic end to a notorious life. Non Nou, Pol Pot's former jailer, told journalists that the corpse of one of the 20th century's most murderous individuals was placed in a wooden coffin, ignited by petrol, and burned on an open fire fed by a dozen vehicle tyres and wood. With him on the funeral pyre were a few belongings: a rattan chair, a cloth shoulder bag and his clothes. That, in the end, was Pol Pot.
His demise had been confirmed just a few days before, when a small group of journalists were escorted to a shabby hut 300 yards from the Thai border to see his body, stuffed with formaldehyde and covered with huge slabs of ice to keep it from decomposing in the powerful tropical heat. Miles away, machine-gun fire and artillery continued to rattle and hum as the rebels fought among themselves, some having joined forces with the Cambodian government.
Non Nou said Pol Pot had asked for his remains to be scattered at one of three places in Cambodia - the great central lake of Tonle Sap, an area in the north-east where he operated as a communist guerrilla, or Phnum Dong Rak, a hill near the Thai-Cambodian border where he was based in more recent times. But the mysteries surrounding him won't disappear with his earthly remains.
Officially, few things are certain about the death of the man blamed for the deaths of 1.7 million Cambodians between 1975 and 1979, when his regime's radical agrarian experiment failed miserably. Cambodian television has yet to run news of his death and government officials continue to question whether the corpse is the man who was born Saloth Sar. Most government-backed newspapers have yet to write about his death, while a few have noted unconfirmed reports of his demise. The body was cremated after Thai authorities took fingerprint and hair samples - but a full autopsy was not permitted.
The murky details of Pol Pot's death on 15 April near the Thai-Cambodian border, as his former supporters in the Khmer Rouge continued to splinter and the US reactivated attempts to bring him before an international tribunal for genocide, were the perfect end to his enigmatic life. Cambodia's great executioner is said to have died in peace, as a prisoner in territory that the Khmer Rouge is fighting to keep, the mountainous stronghold of Anlong Veng. As one observer said: "The most beautiful and tranquil way to die, in his sleep."
If that is the case, it would be the most unsatisfying of deaths for most Cambodians, many of whom wanted him to suffer as he made them suffer; others just wanted to hear him share his secrets. Pol Pot's final days appear to have been full of fear and insecurity. Some even speculate that he might have welcomed the end to avoid the humiliation of being caught by the authorities and brought before an international court.
He had been ill: that much, at least, seems true. Less than two weeks before his death - in what was apparently the last interview of his 73 years - Pol Pot reportedly complained about a plethora of potentially mortal ailments.
"No one wants to be sick..." he complained. "I am sick because of my age. I am not so old, but [Cambodians] say I am old," he said in the interview, on 2 April, with a Cambodian journalist who asked not to be identified out of fear for his safety.
He described waking up in the night with chest pains, but said he had lost access to a doctor before the recent fighting had swept Khmer Rouge hard-liners from their base. " [The medicine] is not enough to improve my health," he said.
He complained of "severe diseases" which began afflicting his heart in 1995 as a result of overwork, although he said he continued to get food from his garden. "I worked day and night and I have begun to have headaches, sore eyes and pain in the chest. I did not know what was happening until one night when I got up and could not see anything. I thought I had sleep in my eyes so I washed my face, but still I could not see."
His health had deteriorated rapidly after he was sentenced to a lifetime under house arrest by his former supporters during a show trial last June. But in his last interview, he also expressed fear for his own security. He feared being found, spoke of travelling incognito - even dyeing his hair black to avoid being recognised - and he noted that Thai authorities would block any attempt to escape through their territory.
He was out of touch. "I have been out of contact with other people... I did not go abroad as there are [extradition] laws to enforce in other countries. I cannot enter other countries without permission, so I just stayed here," he said. "I cannot walk far. When I walk, I don't let anyone see me because if they do, they will know where I am."
This sense of insecurity reinforces suggestions that the timing of his death, a day or two before he was expected to be seized for prosecution for war crimes - an action the US was pursuing vigorously in recent weeks, some 18 years after his fall from power - appeared to be "too much of a coincidence".
Lao Mong Hay, executive director of the Cambodian think-tank Khmer Institute for Democracy, noted the peculiar political context of Pol Pot's death and he raised some of the questions running through the minds of many. "People saw the body, but how did he die [as] the US was working to set up a tribunal, [during] mass defections and what some claim to be the imminent end of the Khmer Rouge?"
Mong Hay, along with many others, pointed out that stopping medication or some sort of shock could have brought about a heart attack which would have appeared to have been brought on by natural causes. "Who can verify that? That is the question," said Mong Hay, who claimed to have heard of a plot to kill Pol Pot only a week before his death. He suggested that Pol Pot had become a burden to his captors as some of them contemplated switching over to the government side and needed to be washed clean of his legacy. He also said that Cambodia's relations with countries who had offered support to Pol Pot, either when he led the country or when he later joined a tripartite resistance to the Vietnamese-backed government that ousted him, offered incentives for the Cambodian government or other key international players to look forward to his death.
"To my knowledge, some people, including China, have not been keen to see the Khmer Rouge leader tried. When journalists mention Pol Pot, it is news around the world. People are interested in that demon. [His death] could take the wind out of the sails of an international tribunal," he said. Many Cambodians had expressed a vain hope that just this one time someone would be held accountable for the terror, intimidation and brutality that has marked the last 28 years of the nation's history; so much death and damage; so many lives.
Pol Pot denied responsibility for the hundreds of thousands of executions until the end. "Regarding the past, I am not responsible for any of the practical actions. I was responsible for training and cadres only. I did not have any practical work to do... I was only in charge of politics." Asked what he thought of Pol Pot's death, Non Nou said: "Good. Because the world will stop cursing us. The Khmer Rouge ended today at 9:52 am."
THE PRINCIPAL Khmer Rouge leaders still battling the Cambodian government are:
TA MOK: Toppled Pol Pot as leader of the last Khmer Rouge faction in 1997 during a bloody power play when Pol Pot tried to stop peace talks with the government. In his early seventies, the one-legged general is known as "The Butcher" for the way he purges perceived traitors. Most fighters have mutinied against Ta Mok in the past month and defected to the government.
KHIEU SAMPHAN: The best-known Khmer Rouge intellectual, whose polished manners led to him becoming its public face. He remains the official president of the group, though real power always rested with others. The doctorate thesis he submitted in 1959 is seen as a blueprint of what would become the basis of Khmer Rouge economic policy once they seized power in 1975 - collectivization of agriculture and economic self-reliance.
NUON CHEA: Deputy secretary general of the Communist Party of Democratic Kampuchea, as the Khmer Rouge called themselves, he was known as Brother Number Two (after Pol Pot). A sinister, shadowy figure, one of the few details known about his personal life is his fondness for fish paste.

Space Technology 5: "Although small, the ST5 satellites were 'full service,' meaning they carried guidance, navigation and control, attitude control, propulsion, high bandwidth, and complex communication functions. Each performed some of the same functions as their larger counterparts. ST5's objective was to demonstrate and space-test the ability of 'smart' satellites to identify scientific events and implement cooperative data-taking strategies.
The ST5 project also developed and built the spacecraft bus that enables the mission's multiple micro-sats to be launched from a single rocket and spun��like Frisbees�� into an elliptical Sun synchronous orbit ranging from 300 km (186 miles) to approximately 4,500 kilometers (2,796 miles) above Earth. The spinning motion was required to stabilize the spacecraft and allow for optimal use of sunlight by the solar array panels on the sides of the spacecraft. "

Brainstorm

I am interested in anything that has to do with Physics and Chemistry. A topic I was interested in was a partical accelerater that my Physics teacher was talking about. I would like to learn more about this type of technology. I have written papers in the past about space exploration. I am still interested in that and would like to know more. I may continue my study in that and write a paper about it. There is a lot of cool technologyut there. I like to watch on discovery chanel "How things are made". In that they tell about how different everyday items are made, I could write a paper on how technology has decreased the need for humans to do manual labor. Machines are taking over the factories. Because on that show, most every thing I see is being made by programmed machines. If I were to srite more about space exploration, I would focus more on the machines and technology used to get the astronauts into space, while before I focused more on the ethics and need for space exploration.

Myself

I am majoring in Chemical Engineering. In the winter I will be transfering to BYU. I have lived in Utah all my life. I do not really enjoy english classes, but I usually get good grades and do what is expected. I like to play basketball. I played on the high school team, but I don't play much anymore, just on teams here and there. My favorite color is blue. I served a mission in cambodia and speak it fluently, I also am minoring in spanish so I speak that pretty well.
