Question

To your knowledge of particle accelerators and quantum physics, how do you think that a particle accelerator could be used for time travel or exploring the theorectical "multiverse"?

Answer 1

And also, what do you think would be required to do this theoretical experimentation?

Answer 2

sorry that it is long, i was going to send link but idk if its a HW site-
"If travel to distant stars within an individual's lifetime is going to be possible, a means of faster-than-light propulsion will have to be found. To date, even recent research about superluminal (faster-than-light) transport based on Einstein's theory of general relativity would require vast amounts of hypothetical particles and states of matter that have 'exotic' physical properties such as negative energy density. This type of matter either cannot currently be found or cannot be manufactured in viable quantities. In contrast, new research carried out at the University of Göttingen gets around this problem by constructing a new class of hyper-fast 'solitons' using sources with only positive energies that can enable travel at any speed. This reignites debate about the possibility of faster-than-light travel based on conventional physics. The research is published in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity."

Answer 3

i don't think it is- but here https://www.researchgate.net/project/Quantum-Field-Theory-What-are-virtual-particles

Answer 4

hmm, thank you. I'm trying to put together a theory and maybe do experimentation or suggest this to someone ik that is a theoretical physicist or something along that line. Appreciate it.

Answer 5

Here's my theory so far. What if we humans could find a way to harness tachyon particles and use them to our advantage? MAybe as a fuel source for a device to propel us into the past or future?

Answer 6

well- we are kinda always time traveling because we are always going into the future but if they can go time travel, wouldn't be dangerous? would the time travel a human to an age? or a human back to an infant and so on.

Answer 7

depends on what you are contained in that is propelling you to the future or past. However, time travelling has a major cost. Time Paradoxes. This is entirely theoretical btw

Answer 8

i know, but if they want you to explain your theory wouldn't you want/need both sides?

Answer 9

Wdym?

Answer 10

like good and bad things due too time traveling, i don't think he got good enough machinery to do it yet

Answer 11

Hmmmm- A partical accelerator could be used for time travel by using particals. XDjkjk. but im ony an 8th grader so lemme think. uhhhhhhh

Answer 12

yeah, our technology isn't updated enough. Neither is our understanding of the universe as a whole. But i am interested in people who can probably make this a fact and not a theory.

a partical accelerator could be used for time travel by manipulating small nuro-things from space. puting such of those close and compact could cause a warp/worm hole that would lead to a different timeline. although it woud be random, it might work. |just a 2 braincell user, dont take this for real|

dont worry lol, im in 10th grade and have had this theory for quite a while. im interested in ur logic about it. mostly, im trying to figure out what particles would be needed. i know tachyons would most definitely be used

yis yis true

Answer 15

:I i know its a theory im just trying to say that people like facts and stuff thats all

Answer 16

yeah, ik wym. this needs to be fact and not a theory tho. thats where experimentation comes in

Very true. buttt if elon musk is starting to make monkies play video games then there is a chance that in the near futer we could have time travel

Answer 18

i know

Answer 19

XD

Answer 20

i mean- yes and no-, monkeys have brains machines dont.

Answer 21

but who created the machine? humans correct? that intellect, blood, sweat, and tears go into those high-cost projects like the 30,000 particle accelerators in the world rn. CERN has already been trying to experiment with dark and anti-matter, and hopefully the same with tachyon particles but i dont think that anyone can obtain it because its not an actual substance. its too fast for anyone to get ahold of with our technology. hopefully in the near future that changes

Answer 22

Elon Musk has also been making experimental spinal injury nano-technology to restore the ability to walk of those who have a broken spine. Including other projects as well..

Answer 23

yea but that wasn't my point- but you know humans can make several mistakes

Answer 24

its our job to perfect it with experimentation and research..

Answer 25

Thank you all for the extra theories regarding time travel and conversating over the subject. I'm going to go into more research over the multi-verse theory and time travel

Answer 26

your welcome :)
