Time Travel

[Angrist]

I think it's bullocks. Time is not a dimension, it's a name. Stuff doesn't stay the same because it changes, so we say time passes. It's not like you can move back in a dimension.

The past is gone. The future doesn't exist yet. There is no paper with a line on it. There's just 1 point, the present. Does it move? In comparison to what? There is nothing else to move in, so you might as well say it doesn't move.


But I absolutely love time travel in entertainment media. I love finding the silly paradoxes.

Actually, time isn't a name, it is a dimension. Clock time is made up, we created that - however we did not make up the progression of time.

Remember, just because we can't do something yet, doesn't mean it isn't possible.

Time is a dimension.

A brief history of time by Stephen Hawking, you should look into it.


Black holes have so much gravity that they are theorized to even suck in time.

If you guys watch the video I posted, it sort of touches on time as a "dimension."

In Mechanics we treated time as a vector quantity. I'm not sure how you would treat time as a spatial dimension? My math sucks, I took Calc 3 and peaced out of engineering. Calc 3 is where you start to learn about the fun stuff, like the 4th dimension.

Anyway, in most senses time is a unit of measurement between two points. Humans like to have a START----------END.

I always am inclined to wonder, is time infinite?

Time is not a spatial dimension, however spacetime is.
