Re: Time Travel is Impossible Because Solar System Moves in Milky Way
For time travel to work, the Earth would have to be in some past or future "position" that it already was or will someday be.

Earth's position within the Milky Way is dependent on the sun's movement through the Milky Way.

The sun is rotating around the core of the Milky Way within one of its spirals.

As the sun moves, everything in the solar system moves with it.

Consequently, the Earth's movement within the Milky Way looks like a cork screw.

Bottom line: There's not a fvcking chance in hell that you can move EVERYTHING in the known universe either forward or backward to where they were or where they'll be, and that reality makes time travel impossible.

How the Earth Moves


Rick and Morty (S04E08 - from last week) actually takes a jaundiced look at time travel in this episode. And, it's fucking funny!

Please note: I am not talking about alternate universes or other dimensions. This rant was strictly about time travel.

Re: Time Travel is Impossible Because Solar System Moves in Milky Way
There's actually a lot of options here. One option is to do time travel or inter-dimensional travel from the air or space. The other option is to do the "John Titor"-method, and move the device on the ground as you're travelling so you don't end up in the sky in China.

For any other methods, you'd have to ask the aliens how they do it. Maybe there's some other stuff that you could do with more knowledge of how it all really works. I know that when their guys do it, they can disappear just the person, or even while driving disappear their car with a person in it. I'm unsure if they do this with a device, or some sort of telekinetic alien psychic, or what. There's no way for me to know.. but then again, you're not supposed to know!

Re: Time Travel is Impossible Because Solar System Moves in Milky Way
The only way time travel would be feasible is with some type of engine that is FTL and can drive you from point a to b faster than the movement of our both the milkyway and solar systems movement. And you would also need to factor in the time difference it would take to get from A to Z and be ahead of the time event. Chances of that happening impossible today but theoretical in the future.
 Quoting: TheElephantInTheRoom 78352688


The universe is a simulation you cant travel FTL with any type of engine, or else you would end up in an area of space that has not yet been rendered by the supercomputer. You would experience space-time and matter popping into existence from nowhere, and that would probably cause fatal injury..

thats missing the point of time travel completely. imo

not saying its possible. but the theories dont include moving anything backwards... i dont travel back in time when i walk backwards either :P

There is no time.
Only the now.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78105935


correct

time is really a measure of relative position in space
 Quoting: ^TrInItY^


Time is awareness of the cycles you mentioned earlier...everything follows the cycles, but it's the observation of those mechanics that we call time...time is merely an observation...

The only legitimate way of travelling back in time is by farting and sneezing at the same time.

True story.
