Can humans eventually travel back in time but...

And just for good measure:

Is that one bloke Carl Pilkington?

Time is a construct of MAN. Not the Universe. What has happend has happend, thats it. It repeats itself, that is the closest you will get. It repeats itself because nature, the universe is cyclic, therefore life is cyclic. As above, so below.

Expand, Contract, Expand, Contract. Like a heart beat. Like a big bang? This thread asks the wrong question. It's okay, no one knows the right one.

This is the time traveller portal!

Good.......

[EL_GRINGO]

Good fxckin question

That deserves its own thread

No, where did time come from?

Why does the space around a black hole warps space and time? Why does traveling away from Earth close to or at the speed of light and then coming back to Earth allow you to come back to a future Earth?

Time is important in Einstein's general relativity theory. Time is real. But I understand what you mean that it's man made. Math is man made too, but math is probably a universal language, and time is probably universal too.

Let's say there's another planet with intelligent beings, and someone dies in a cave when their sun was out...and now it's night time and 3 days passed, how do you describe when the death occurred to someone who wants to know? "That person died when the sun was up, 3 sunsets ago, in a cave" - guess what, that is still using the concept of time. You have a location, time, and an action that happened. Humans created a detailed version of this, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, to give exact times and make life easier.

Underground Racing keeps on messing with these Huracans, we might see it within our lifetimes.

One thing I do know
Math=everything

It might be man made but everything uses math

Einstein, it's just theory, a very good one, but a theory, made by a man. Time's nature is not human.
Because we percieve time to to be real, we say and beleive it is. It is dictated from our perception.
Black holes distort our PERCEPTION of time. The P word.

I like the 3 days argument, however what we say is 3 days, may just be a day on that planet, might call 3 suns only 1 day where they are, because thats how they percieve time. The days, minutes, seconds are OUR construct, what makes you think anybody anywhere else follows our construct? We decided 1 day is 1 cycle of the Sun going around Earth, okay. Is that the rule all over space then?
No, but it fits us. We can argue, universally, there is no such thing as 'a day' we made that up.
No, time is as it's percieved by the observer in it's field of space

We express time in seconds, minutes, hours, days so that we can understand time, it suits our brains. We put form to time.
Time is more wave like, and it doesn't just go back and forward, it goes in every direction. It is formless in it's nature, we added form to it, it suits our social construct and it aids us in percieving time.

Where does time come from? And also, where is it going?

Did time arrive when the Big Bang happened?

Don't think of time in seconds, minutes etc when trying to answer that, we made that up so we can measure it, provide structure. Put your head outside the box.

I have a feeling im not articulating myself very well here, oh dear.

You can tell we got a bunch of weed smokers here cuz this got a lot of responses in an hour.

Regardless of how time is measured here or anywhere else in the universe...its still relative. People still die at the same pace. If 3 revolutions of the sun is 1day in another universe...people will die at an average of 30 years by their standard...but measured by ours it will still be 90. Its like saying one dog year equals 7 human years. The dog might be 70... but its still only been here 10 years by our standard. Nobody says yea my dog died...but he lived til he was 70... because he simply didnt.
