Time Travel - Beyond Existence
Dear quantum mechanic, would you for a moment, indulge the naive in the possibilities and implications of time travel.
Could and object or living being travel in time to a point before it existed or after its existence in the normal fabric of time? Would I be able to attend my funeral? Can the time machine travel to a time before it was created?
On a more atomic level, this would mean that the same atoms would exist at the same time at a point in time - time travel would result in the creation of duplicate matter at a moment in time (The Atomic Twins Question). How will it affect that point in time that the object has travelled to? How will if affect the point in time that object has travelled from? How will it affect time and other matter between the two points in time?

ReplyDeleteIf objects are transported through time they will leave a void in their proper position in time, what is going to fill this void? will it cause space to collapse on itself in this void?
What will happen to the point in time that the object has travelled to since there will an introduction of extra matter at that point in time? Will there be a space expansion ripple? How will it affect matter in that point in time?
