Time Travel Machine
Paradox is a word that can mean many different things. For instance, ‘paradox’ can refer to a phenomena that defies time or space. And yet it is also used to describe relationships between objects, as in the relationship between people and places. Paradox, in this sense, is perhaps one of the most well known instances of a time paradox. Paradoxical time travel (or just paradoxifiable time travel) is, unfortunately, also one of the most popular examples of this paradox.
The first stage in understanding paradoxes is understanding the general theory of relativity. Relativity is primarily concerned with time and space, with each of these existing independent of the other. Einstein’s general theory of relativity (also referred to as the general theory of relativity, or GRR) states that time and space are not absolute; they are relative to a center of mass, such as the earth. So in the GRR, time and space are seen as derived from a reference frame, the Earth for example, which has no reference in itself.
In the GRR, time and space are seen as a mathematical construction, which can be described by a set of axioms. The first of these is the assumption of “no universal time,” which contradicts the first law of relativity. Another axiom is the assumption of “circulating beams” in space, which does not account for the movement of clocks. Lastly, the second law of relativity indicates that clocks do not travel faster than the speed of light.
The first law of relativity, according to Einstein, solves the problem posed by time travel. The equations of motion will always take into consideration both time and velocity, unlike the equations of motion in a vacuum. This means that it is mathematically possible to travel faster than the speed of light through vacuum alone. The second law of relativity, also called the special theory of relativity, solves the problem posed by traveling faster than the speed of light through a medium that does not have any time. It was later renounced by most scientists because it was proved beyond reasonable doubt that special relativity was false. The last axiom of general relativity, the special theory of relativity, was formulated by Albert Einstein in 1900.
Time machines are conceived as a way of traveling back in time. According to this idea, some sort of device exists in subatomic region that can send information to your computer in the form of binary codes. This information would be used to reconstruct your past. All this can be achieved with the help of very precise equipment. This information, however, cannot be made use of by humans if your time machine is broken.
One such idea has already been invented which tries to overcome the problem of travel back in time through the help of an infinite mass. This idea was developed by a Russian scientists who managed to combine the properties of vacuum with the laws of Einstein’s theory of relativity. This technique does not involve using time travel machines at all. The theory of this new mass was eventually found to be worthy of experimental studies.
Another idea that tries to solve the problem of travel back in time through the help of time machine includes the idea of utilizing a circulating beam. If you will recall from your physics class, the law of conservation of energy states that no motion can exist without a constant amount of energy being spent on its creation. By considering the law of conservation of energy, the new theory suggests that it is possible for a traveling wave to create an unperceivable amount of energy which would go back in time.
In order for a time machine to work properly, it must create an effect without loss of energy. Based on the laws of physics, it can be assumed that if you go back in time, then you must use more energy than you had before. Applying this law to the idea of a traveling wave, it becomes possible to create the energy required to power up a faster-than-light machine. The concept of creating a unperceivable amount of energy can be used to explain how a time machine can go back in time. Theoretically speaking, it could create enough energy to accelerate the velocity of a particle from a low energy state to a high energy state without losing any of its original energy. It is this concept that has made many scientists interested in the concept of time travel.
