this email want out to the following professors.
Dr.Michael Saliby(my advisor, chemistry chair, analytical)
Dr.Eddie Luzik(organic)
Dr.Pauline Schwartz(organic)
Dr.Art Gow(Physical chem)
Dr.Nancy Ortins-Savage(analytical)
I can only hope that i spelled most of my words correctly.
I have been thinking about the nature of time travel lately(i have had far, far too much free time this winter) and i think i have hit upon a conumdrum which i am having trouble with. I was hoping you professors could offer some insight into my conumdrum.
The current theory set forth says that if you create 2 wormholes at some 4 dimensional data set(x,y,z,t) and join them together by a stable conduit, and drag one at nearly light speed(Einstein posulates in his Theory of Special realativitity that no body of mass can actually reach the velocity of light as its mass would therefore approach infinity) for a set number of years(lets say this is "a" number of years) and let it spring back to its initial state over a certain number of years(lets call this b number of years), would it be only possible to travel a certain number of years "a+b" into the past"
Ultimately, i feel, the limit of this would be the initial point in time which we are technologically able to create a stable and safe conduit between two wormholes.
My problem is this. If we are only able to, under the current current quantum model, travel a quantity of (a+b) years into the past, this only allows us to travel back to the initial point where our technology allows us to create a stable and safe connection between 2 wormholes; what would be the point of traveling through time? Currently such authors at H.G. Wells stipulates that the benefit of time travel would reveal itself under such instances where we would be unable to to experience a period of time that would previously be unrecordable. Such a period of history would be such as the period of time when dinosaurs ruled the earth, or such as time as before the begining of recorded history, possibly even conflicts where only the thoughts of only one side of the situation is recorded. Under this model, how desireable would it be to "time travel" as it were? Such technology is many centuries into the future and i feel that at that time, our records of history(history as percieved by future genreations from that point on) would be advanced enough that such time travel would be unwarrented.
In this situation, the advent of "time travel" would be futile by the time it was feasable. That is the essence of my conumdrum. What are your thoughts, given your current experience with such mechanics? Is my postulate incorrect? Would it only be able to engage in such a pursuit by the time that it would ultimately not matter given the current evolution of the only nations capable of such a technological feat in the future(USA, China, and the Soviet Union)?
Thank you for your thoughts on the nature of Quantum Physics and its implications given all 11 dimensions.
