@EliasAlucard wouldn't it though be against the laws of thermodynamics? If you could travel bacck into the, couldn't you use mor energy than exists in the universe?
@Ihavenothing not sure, I doubt time travel into the past requires that much energy. But it all depends of course on how much energy wormholes require, and what exactly the type of exotic matter is necessary for generating wormholes. Maybe there isn't such matter to begin with. I'm no expert on exotic matter, but I believe they call it "exotic matter" because they don't know anything about it, so it may be a nonsense term, lol. Obviously it's some sort of matter not available in the periodic table though, but it's questionable if stars synthesize wormhole capable matter; if they did, odds are we'd see plenty of wormholes throughout the universe, both in use and passive ones used for time travel into the past and so on.
@obladie As you say, photons are massless, how's that possible? IIRC, photons are packets of electrons, so logically photons should have mass. What is my dumb mind missing?
Light consisits of photons which is massless , we are talking about photons here and @CreativeThinking it's difference between protons and photons you are thinking we are talking about protons but we are talking about photons it's different from proton
Time travel is already happening virtually with chess engines.
Traveling back in time cannot happen from the present, because the time line is now history.
The future main line can be altered, if we are aware that a path will lead to a checkmate.
So I assume, AI's with the information they have on our present daily lives, will one day plan out a main line for our day or the future. Main line variants of it will probably be expected and we will probably pick a proposed schedule for that day.
Example: Rather than giving past history ... saying you came in close proximity to a person with the Covid ... go get tested. It will be proactive. The AI engine will inform us through our smart phones ... the schedule for the day ... to avoid the path that could give us the Covid.
When we get followed by GPS, there is a pattern like going to work every day and going to the store. Sooner or later the info will be in a world database and AI'S will become proactive and protect us from health blunders.
Example: If you continue to put smoke in your lungs, you will get sick. The AI might recommend to breath through a filter or a mask, or live in a filtered area.
As you can see, traveling forward and backwards is probably going to happen virtually first. The present is our constant. The future is unwritten, but probably predictable by an AI. If I stay in my present path, then I should assume the predictions to become my future present. If I don't like the future predictions, then I obviously need to think outside of the virtual box and better my daily habits.
To avoid a blunder, distancing is probably the present solution, but like in chess it not always possible.
Like the first moves in chess .. .The Scandinavian Defenses is not distancing the pawns, while the Sicilian Defense is.
I think we need to be proactive and start traveling virtually in time.
We need to assess the risks that could be caused by our actions or lack of.
If we continue to follow our present routines, the horizon looks like what ?
Just be thinking, we are traveling in time.

@TheUnbreakable #63 Photons are massless quantums of energy. Mass and energy are equivalent but not identical properties of a particle.
It cannot be ignored, they are measurably deflected by the sun. They follow curved paths in curved space due to the principle of least time which applys to light. As a matter of fact, this was the first empirical validation of general relativity.
If light has passed the event horizon of a black hole, all possible paths the photons can take lead deeper to the center due to the extrem curvature of space. That is why it cannot escape.

@Toscani very deep, i mean im not really clever enough to understand 100% of that but i agree with the idea that if we are editing the future we are kind of already time travelling
@thibault Replying to your message on the first page of this topic.
That may be true, but if that is the case, the future person who actually invented the time machine wouldn't exist as we chose a different timeline so he (obviously being selfish) wouldn't come to the past to tell us about it!
