Neil deGrasse Tyson on Time Travel and Time Travelers
Published on Aug 9, 2012
Does the fact that there are no time travelers now prove that time travel will never be invented in the future? Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist, host of StarTalk Radio and director of the Hayden Planetarium, answers this Cosmic Query from +FraserCain of UniverseToday in this Behind the Scenes video. With comic co-host Colin Jost of Saturday Night Live Weekend Update.

very interesting... The Real John Titor 'Time traveller' from year 2036 High Strangeness
Published on Jul 9, 2017
John Titor traveled to our present from 2036, a time reeling from a conflict that finally ended an American civil war. Titor claimed he was part of a military group trained to travel through time, and had come back (originally to 1975) to get an IBM 5100 computer -- needed to fix something in the future.
Titor's story has been pieced together from posts on Internet discussion boards that began in November 2000. Using the names "Timetravel_0" and later "John Titor," he provided extensive technical descriptions of his time machine, several predictions of our future, and commentary on our society.

www.enlightened-consciousness.com/two-types-time-travel-physicists-agree-least-one-possible/ There Are Two Types of Time Travel… Physicists Agree at Least One of Them Is Possible!By Claire Robinson / www.enlightened-consciousness.com/author/yvonleohotmail/- February 17, 2018 Professors of physics and mathematics have different opinions on time travel. The opinions vary but the common denominator is that it is very possible to travel to the future and the past. It is nicely explained in the television series “Dr Who”, which has been BBC’s favourite science fiction series for the 50 past years. The series explains travel through space and time in The Doctors different adventures. If it is left to the imagination, it is quite a simple task to believe that you could skip to different periods of history in a flash. Albert Einstein believed this to be possible with his theory of relativity. This all happening in about 1905. He explained: Relative Speed can be viewed as a movement of one body relative to another moving body, taking it a step further and adding the speed of light into this picture you could travel forward in time. Einstein believed that if you could travel into space, journey at the speed of light or even just a fraction of it and make a sudden turnaround back to earth, your clock would be ticking slower, therefore you would have traveled to the future. Also in his opinion, hanging out near a strong source of gravity, lets say a black hole or a neutron star and you could move to the very edge of it, time would then slow down for you and in this manner when you returned to earth time would have flown by and therefore you would have traveled far into the future. Most physicists would agree with this theory. He spoke of the “Twins Paradox” where a scenario as above, one twin traveling the other staying on earth, the traveler would return to be much younger than her twin. Only a few years would have passed in the spacecraft but many on earth. The only problem here realistically would be getting back to your real time. To achieve this, you would need to be able to travel faster than light and this is not possible, well not yet anyway. Einstein spoke of wormholes. His theory of Gravity unites space and time and is called “Spacetime”, this term includes mass too. For understanding the wormholes, you must first give a thought to its natural meaning. A wormhole is a tunnel-like hole made by a worm into fruits or trees. In a similar manner, a wormhole with a context of physics is a tunnel between two locations various distances apart. Like a bridge in space allowing travel from here to here. If the “mouths” of the wormhole moved relative to one another, it would allow you to enter a certain time and exist at another. Imagine if you could manipulate the opening of a wormhole – put one near a black hole (Another Mouthful: is a region of spacetime exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing—not even particles and electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from inside it. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole. Anyway, moving on, if you could put a wormhole near to a black hole and take the black hole with you into the wormhole, the result would be that you would be able to go backward and forwards – Future and past. You would however only be able to go as far back as the time that the Wormhole was created, therefore selecting a specific time, like with a time machine, would not be possible. How will we ever know if there is any truth to it? Only time will tell. My mind is one big black hole. www.enlightened-consciousness.com/two-types-time-travel-physicists-agree-least-one-possible/

mysteriousuniverse.org/2020/01/alleged-time-traveler-brings-back-food-from-the-future/ Alleged Time Traveler Brings Back Food From the Futureby Paul Seaburn / mysteriousuniverse.org/author/paulseaburn/January 17, 2020 Time travelers – or at least people who claim to be time travelers – are similar in many ways to UFO and Bigfoot witnesses. Their stories are amazing and often believable, but their photos are blurry, their evidence is scant and they never show how they traveled. Not only that, what little they bring from the future is of no interest to most people. That changed this week when ApexTV – the YouTube home of most time travelers – uploaded a video of an alleged time traveler from 2075 who brought with him … fanfare please … food from the future! What will we be eating in 55 years … and will we able to cook it in that multicooker we couldn’t seem to throw away (or re-gift) since 2020? “This take the place of food when it comes out, and this goes along with the government giving everybody in the world free food. This is the food that they give, and you get them in containers like this. They just show up at your house as free food for everybody on Earth.” Will this be our future food? Uh-oh. Food from the government. This is starting out bad. The star of the video (watch it here) goes by the single name of Kasper and, of course, his face is pixelated and his voice modulated to sound like what comes out of the drive-thru speaker at a Russian McDonald’s. While “free food for everybody” sounds promising, he’s not saying every home has a Star Trek replicator making mashed potatoes, meatloaf and all that other comfort food your grandma from 2020 used to prepare for you – only in 2075 it’s free for everyone. “I cannot say too much. What I can say is that these are individual capsules, and taking just one capsule allowed you to live for an entire day. You take one such capsule per day. This container I’m showing you of food from the future will last you well over a few months. This is food from the future. Each individual pellet… is a form of food that you may consume, and each one will enable you to stay healthy and alive for another day.” Yes, disappointed friends. The food of the future is what you feed your pet gerbil today – single pellets that contain everything your body needs for 24 hours. Instead of a cardboard box or a plastic bag (do you really believe those will still be around in 2075 – other than still floating in the Pacific?), the while pills come in what looks like a Mason jar and resemble polystyrene balls of today (which will probably also still be floating in the ocean in 2075). Polystyrene or an all-you-can-eat buffet in 2075? In a way, it’s strangely comforting that Mason jars are still around 2075. They were invented and patented in 1858 by John Landis Mason and over 160 years later are still the best hermetically-sealed containers. They probably came in handy in the future because, as Kasper shows in a blurry picture, Los Angeles was completely underwater at one time. That could also be why our future descendants couldn’t come up with replicators and settled for food pills. In 1893, American suffragette Mary Elizabeth Lease predicted that by 1993 we would eat pills to free women from the kitchen. In the 1920s and 30s, the synthetic food pill seemed like a natural solution to food shortages. The 1960s ushered in the dawn of real space travel and that’s where the magic pill met real stomachs, as astronauts rejected pills, food tubes and other forms of condensed nutrition for sealed packages of the real meal deal. When armies found that soldiers would rather starve than follow orders to eat super-condensed food, that seemed to be the demise of the food pill. We all want to believe time travel is possible, but it seems to be another one of those things Fermi should have had a paradox about. (If they exist, why haven’t we seen them?) Setting aside the fact that most of these so-called time travelers interviewed by Apex TV have ranged from unbelievable to absurd (you can put Kasper somewhere in the middle, especially since he doesn’t show himself eating the pills), could you believe that food-in-a-pill really is the future for your kids and grandkids? Even if major cities, farms and the means of natural food production are lost due to floods and climate change? Will we be the last humans to enjoy the pleasure of a good belch? Save your Mason jars … they could make your kids millionaires someday! mysteriousuniverse.org/2020/01/alleged-time-traveler-brings-back-food-from-the-future/

www.ufoinsight.com/time-travel-achieved-wed-know-right/ Time Travel – If It Had Been Achieved, We’d Know About It, Right? March 10th, 2019 by: Marcus Lowth The assumption that we would be aware if time-travel was possible due to the fact that someone would have come back to tell us, is a relatively tight argument. The one problem with that argument however, is even when a person claims to have proof, most remain unconvinced. Many people are still not prepared to accept even the possibility that the person may be correct in their claims. The fact is, many such claims have surfaced over the years. Perhaps one of the strangest claims of time-travel, but maybe all the more believable because of its bizarreness, is that of Hakan Nordkvist from Sweden. According to Nordkvist, he returned home one evening in August 2006 to discover his kitchen floor covered in water. He quickly went to work under the sink, assuming that a leak was responsible for the mini-flood. He reached in with tools in hand but reaching the piping was proving to be difficult. He then reached in further, and further still, until he was crawling in the cupboard under his sink. Nordkvist continued to move inwards under the sink when he realised that he had crawled much further than the space should allow. Regardless he continued on, now intrigued. Ahead of him, a light shone. He headed towards it before it engulfed him and he could stand upright. In front of him, once he had gathered himself, was himself, only himself over thirty years older .
According to Nordkvist, he stood in 2042, and his future self was seventy-two years old. He compared tattoos with the man, and even captured the moment on video as proof of his adventure. You can check out the video below and make up your own minds. “We stood there talking, and it was a nice feeling. A really great feeling,” Nordkvist insisted. The pair spoke about things that only Nordkvist would know, convincing him of the authenticity of his experience. He further stated, “I don’t care if people think I am a liar. I know I am not!” Might Nordkvist have stumbled on to a wormhole or portal to another time?

Not that I buy it either, but the tatoos wouldn’t be my indicator because of the natural aging of the skin, etc.
I’m thinking more of the length of the two mens’ skulls. The younger guy has a longer face..... IDK.
If he DID actually run into someone with the same tattoo, placement and all, in this current time frame, it is still pretty cool!

The younger man’s tattoo is faded more than the older mans. It should be more faded on the older man. Okay, assuming they have matching tattoos, my best guess is a father and a son🤷🏻♀️But WHO knows? I guess everything is possible but I have one question..... when he (younger man) was crawling in under the sink why did a bell not go off in his head? Something like, “ how did my sink get so expanded and deep to where I can crawl all through it???😁

In a May 17, 2011 interview with George Noory on Coast-to-Coast AM, Andrew D. Basiago, a childhood participant from 1968-72 in DARPA’s secret quantum access Tesla-technology time travel Project Pegasus, stated that U.S. President Barack H. Obama has been pre-identified by Project Pegasus as a future U.S. president.
(From page 1 of this thread on Time-Travel) ____________________
I will never forget someone telling me that Obama was the “chosen” president (not pre-identified. And I never heard of “project Pegasus).. I was told this about Obama in 2006. I didn’t believe it.

It's possible time-travel doesn't work like that. It could be like in the Terminator Movies where everything people do to try to change the future ends up causing it to be exactly the way it turned out. Maybe both the past and future have been predetermined...at least in our timeline anyway. In order to get to a different timeline it might be necessary to build a machine that can travel through both time and dimensions. There are all kinds of possibilities. It could be that the "past," the "future," and the "present" all exist simultaneously like frequencies on an infinitely vast bandwith of transmission. Tuning to a frequency enjoins awareness to that particular "vibration" and thus the illusion of time is enforced by perception. To perception, there is a past, future, and a present. In reality, there is only now. Only, an infinite number of nows. It could be that all memory actually is, is a conscious viewing of a particular frequency on this infinitely vast bandwith. It is imperfect as the conscious filter is. Much like how we interpret (and eventually lose most of the content of) dreams, the conscious grasps at things and fills in the blanks where it cannot perceive. _________[_______________ This is a terrific thought (also from page one of this thread ).🤔😉 And, somehow, I have been able to get my own “take” (experience) on this......

www.ufoinsight.com/ufos-and-time-travel-a-case-study/ UFOs And Time Travel – A Case Study March 7, 2020 by: Marcus Lowth Of all the theories and claims of what might be behind the UFO and alien question, the notion of time travel is perhaps one of the most intriguing. The idea that there is a connection between time-travel and what we currently consider alien visitation does itself branch off in several directions. And what’s more, it is one that appears more reasonable the more we explore the reasons for such claims. It is, however, one that even some in the UFO community do not lend much credence to. And while it is, admittedly, an outlandish notion, it is perhaps only so because the knowledge, technology, and scientific understanding are currently beyond the scope of our collective understanding. The entire notion of time-travel is one that we are unlikely to ever resolve short of seeing it with our own collective eyes. Yet such possibilities continue to fascinate people the world over. Not least when the notion of UFOs is thrown into the mix. Might we find the truth of the UFO and alien question resides in the theories of time travel? Might these apparent aliens from some distant planet actually be ourselves from Earth at an unknown time in the future? And, as ever, if the answer to the above questions is yes, then for what purpose are our future selves traveling back in time? Should we be concerned, for example, about what our future selves know about our immediate collective future? CONTINUE READING: www.ufoinsight.com/ufos-and-time-travel-a-case-study/

www.ufoinsight.com/whats-behind-the-surge-of-time-travel-claims/ What’s Behind The Surge Of Time Travel Claims? February 8th, 2019 by: Marcus Lowth A photograph from the year 5000? By “Edward” – time-traveler. The idea of time-travel has fascinated people at least since the late-1800s with the popularity of science-fiction writers such as H.G. Wells. And even more so following Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity in the early twentieth-century, which gave the notion some (theoretical) scientific grounding. More recently, however, there has been an apparent wave of claims from people claiming to have traveled to one distant year or another. We have written before stating that even if people claimed to have traveled in time, regardless of what “proof” they may have, the public at large will very likely dismiss these assertions without question. And while these claims are most likely the ravings of overactive imaginations for the most part, they are still intriguing and worth taking the time to look at. Professor and theoretical physicist, Michio Kaku, recently claimed, “Once confined to fantasy and science-fiction, time-travel is now simply an engineering problem!” Perhaps, somewhere, maybe even very recently, that engineering problem was solved. Before we look at some of these recent claims of time-travel, check out the short video below. It looks at ten of the most intriguing pieces of evidence concerning traveling through time.

mysteriousuniverse.org/2020/09/student-proves-time-travel-is-possible-now-what/Student Proves Time Travel is Possible — Now What?by Paul Seaburn / September 28, 2020 In most people’s minds, there is only one Holy Grail – the cup from the Last Supper. What would happen if it were found? Would grail hunters go through withdrawels after losing their reason for living? Or would something else move up on the Grail List from #2 to Holy Grail? If there is such a list, what’s at #2? What’s YOUR #2? Some might choose time travel and the powers both going backward and forward on the continuum might give. Well, if that’s your #2, you may have to start thinking about your #3. A college student may have just proven the physical feasibility of time travel. Where is he now? Past or future? Checking what grade he will get on the paper or going back to make some changes. “Classical dynamics says if you know the state of a system at a particular time, this can tell us the entire history of the system. This has a wide range of applications, from allowing us to send rockets to other planets and modelling how fluids flow. For example, if I know the current position and velocity of an object falling under the force of gravity, I can calculate where it will be at any time. However, Einstein’s theory of general relativity predicts the existence of time loops or time travel – where an event can be both in the past and future of itself – theoretically turning the study of dynamics on its head.” Germain Tobar, a senior honor student pursuing a Bachelor of Advanced Science degree at the University of Queensland, chose time travel as his theme and his quest. In fact, in the press release announcing his new paper in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, Tobar refers to a unified theory that could reconcile both traditional dynamics and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity as “the holy grail of physics.” And, according to the paper and Monty Python, he’s found his grail.

www.coasttocoastam.com/article/video-5-tantalizing-tales-of-time-travel/Video: 5 Tantalizing Tales of Time TravelMay 11, 2016 The lack of time travelers in our midst may lead some to believe that the ability cannot exist, but some extraordinary stories suggest that may not be the case. YouTube user Top5s examines anecdotes, urban legends, and conspiracy theories where traveling through time was the central theme. In some cases, the experiencer inadvertently journeys forward time such as the story of esteemed British Air Force commander Sir Robert Victor Goddard. Goddard claimed to have flown into a storm, spotted strange clouds, and subsequently was spun back out where he landed at an air base seemingly situated in the future before taking off and flying back into the past. Other say they fall backwards in time, such as a woman who said she slipped from 1950 to the stunning year of 865 and watched a famous military battle. And there are incidents that seems simply out of time, such as the tale of the traveler who allegedly possessed a passport from a country called 'Torad' that he said was part of Europe. When officials took him into custody to determine what to do with the lost tourist, the now-legendary 'Torad Man' vanished from his guarded hotel room before investigators could speak to him. There's also more potentially sinister events such as the infamous Montauk Project and an unfortunate man who somehow teleported 200 miles in a mere 5 hours perhaps with 'help' of aliens. So if you can find the time, check out the complete video and learn more about these perplexing cases. www.coasttocoastam.com/article/video-5-tantalizing-tales-of-time-travel/

I believe Time Travel is all the same time. Who ever is visiting us now are the same travelers from 2000 years ago. I watch Ancient Aliens some times. It gets me every time. Time Travelers may be us in the far future. They may be from other worlds.

astronomy.com/news/2016/12/is-time-on-our-side?utm_source=asytwitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=asytwitterIs time on our side?Time travel — long a staple of science fiction — may not be too far from reality.By Richard Talcott / astronomy.com/authors/richard-talcott December 7, 2016 All of cosmic history, from near the Big Bang (at upper left) to the engineering marvels of superadvanced civilizations (at lower right), could be reached theoretically in a time machine. Although physicists know time travel into the future is possible, the past may be out of reach. Adolf Schaller; Time Machine: Astronomy: Theo Cobb This story originally appeared in the February 2006 issue of Astronomy. When H. G. Wells put pen to paper in 1895, he started something that shows no sign of abating. The Time Machine, Wells’ first novel, was social commentary disguised as science fiction. But his idea that time travel might be possible has fired the imaginations of authors, screenwriters — and scientists — ever since. Wells proved to be ahead of his time scientifically as well as artistically. He imagined time as occupying the fourth dimension 10 years before Albert Einstein portrayed the cosmos as a 4-dimensional space-time continuum in his special theory of relativity. Einstein’s ideas opened the door to scientific inquiry into time travel. Yet the subject remained fringe science for decades. Not so now. Today, researchers publish articles in leading scientific journals that discuss not only the possibility of time travel but how it might be accomplished. Although the day when you can hop into a time machine and travel anywhere — or anywhen — you want lies a long way off, limited forms of time travel into the future already exist. Thanks to their greater speed, airline passengers emerge from their trips having aged slightly less than their earthbound compatriots. Now, some scientists speculate travel into the past — something Wells’ time traveler could do with the pull of a lever — might be possible one day. Newton’s timeThe idea of time travel never gained a foothold in the 200-plus years Isaac Newton’s view of the universe held sway. Newton considered time, and space for that matter, as immutable. “Absolute, true, and mathematical Time, of itself, and from its own nature, flows equably without relation to anything external,” he wrote in his masterwork, Principia. That all changed with Einstein. He believed — and a century of experimental results backs him up — time is relative. In 1905’s special theory of relativity, he started with two postulates: The laws of physics should look the same to every observer in uniform motion (moving in a straight line at constant speed), and the speed of light in a vacuum should be the same for every observer in uniform motion. The only way these two conditions can be met simultaneously is if time passes at different rates for different observers. The effects can be measured even in everyday life. Take a trans-Atlantic flight, and you’ll climb off the airplane about 10 nanoseconds (10 billionths of a second) younger than those you left behind. The effects don’t become obvious unless you travel near the speed of light. Jump on a spaceship and travel at close to light-speed, and you literally could cover light-years in just a few days by your reckoning. On your return to Earth, however, you’d find that perhaps thousands of years had elapsed. In effect, you would have traveled to the stars as well as deep into the future. As crazy as this travel into the future may sound, experiments verify it. In 1971, Joe Hafele of Washington University in St. Louis and Richard Keating of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington borrowed four atomic clocks from the Naval Observatory and took them on around-the-world airplane trips. Although the planes traveled at less than one-millionth the speed of light, the clocks ticked slower than those left at the observatory — and by just the amount predicted by special relativity. Subatomic particles called muons offer more-striking proof. In a laboratory, muons survive only a few millionths of a second. When energetic cosmic rays strike Earth’s atmosphere, however, they create a shower of muons traveling at close to the speed of light. If these high-speed muons decayed at their normal rate, they wouldn’t make it a mile. But most survive the 12-mile (20 kilometers) trip to reach Earth’s surface.

by Sanjiv Sathiah / Many of us have seen science fiction or fantasy movies, or read novels that feature time travel. One of the most famous of these is the "Back to the Future" trilogy from the '80s which starred Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown. In the trilogy, Doc Brown hilariously turns a DMC DeLorean into a time-traveling machine that brings him and his compatriot on adventures through time. The concept of time travel has wide appeal in popular culture as, let's face it, who wouldn't want to be able to travel into the past or the future? The reality, however, is somewhat more mundane. While we can't necessarily time travel in the way we imagine, powerful telescopes like the Hubble space telescope do actually let us look back in time to how the universe once was. It might not be as exciting as traveling through time in a DeLorean, but it is certainly the next best thing. For example, early this month, astronomers announced that they had observed a star, (dubbed Earendel), that existed as little as 900 million years after the Big Bang. This star is believed to be one of the earliest stars in existence and is thought to have died in a fiery explosion 13 billion years ago. However, because the light from Earendal has taken over 13 billion years to reach the Hubble telescope, we have effectively been able to look back in time to what Earendel looked like before it exploded. We Can Travel In Time, Just Not Like In The MoviesScott Kelly passing time onboard the ISS © NASA/Getty Images Earendel was observed using an effect where the fabric of space-time is warped by gravity -- a phenomenon predicted by Einstein. This causes light to bend as it passes by objects with large masses, like planets, suns, or even galaxies, allowing us to see around and even behind these objects. The effect is known as gravitational lensing and is part of Einstein's theory of general relativity. Einstein's theory also has implications for how we experience time, which, as it turns out, is relative. At a most basic level, as NASA explains, we all travel through time at approximately the same speed of one second per second. But the way we experience time changes according to both how fast we are traveling and the way gravity influences space-time. NASA described an experiment to show that the faster you travel, the slower you experience time. It involved having a clock measuring time on the ground and a clock measuring time onboard an airplane traveling in the same direction as the Earth rotates. After the plane finished its journey around the globe, the scientists found that the clock on the plane had traveled through time slightly slower than the clock on the ground. Because of these same time dilation effects, after spending 1 year in space on the low Earth-orbiting ISS, astronaut Scott Kelly was technically 0.01 seconds younger than his twin brother Mark who stayed on Earth.

The strange scene, spotted by a visitor to an art museum in Munich, can be found in Austrian painter Ferdinand Georg Waldmuller's work 'The Expected One.' As is often the case when 'cell phones' appear to pop up in old paintings, the remarkable discovery has some imaginative individuals suggesting that there is some element of time travel involved in the piece. However, art historians insist that, despite how it may appear, the woman is holding a prayer book which she is looking at with great reverence. Since the 'cell phone' is almost the centerpiece of the painting, the prosaic explanation makes sense, since it otherwise would have been a pretty poor attempt by Waldmuller to hide a secret clue about time travel and future technology. Nonetheless, one can't help but marvel at how the woman's body language and the positioning of the prayer book so closely match how people hold their cell phones today. No doubt Waldmuller never intended for his work to spark a discussion on how religion has seemingly been usurped by the worship of technology, but it appears that his painting is poised to do just that. And, while that may not be as tantalizing as time travel, it's a pretty remarkable testament to how the meaning of artwork can sometimes evolve over time to say something well beyond what its creator intended. www.coasttocoastam.com/article/woman-spotted-gazing-at-cell-phone-in-19th-century-painting/
