Einstein’s General Relativity and Time Travel. Where would you go?. I’ve Always Loved Time Travel. How We Think of “Absolute Time”. Time is a force of nature separate from us that moves at the same rate for all of us. Sir Isaac Newton’s “Absolute Time” (1600’s) .

Einstein’sGeneral Relativityand Time Travel Where would you go?
How We Think of “Absolute Time” • Time is a force of nature separate from us that moves at the same rate for all of us Sir Isaac Newton’s“Absolute Time”(1600’s) • Yes, sometimes we perceive time moving slow or fast but that’s just a trick our mind plays on us • Time Travel is Impossible!
Einstein Discovers “Relative Time” in 1905 • Time, Space, and Gravityare intertwined (not separate)and can affect each other! • Time is relative and can move at different rates for different people! This means your present isn’t necessarily my present. • Time Travel is Possible!
The Time-Space-Gravity Demo Time(clock) Space(speed) Gravity(weight)
How Could You Possibly Test This? Cesium Atomic ClockAccurate to within 1 second over 100 million years! Add A Space Shuttle Clock(orbiting the Earth at 17,000mph + near orbit microgravity) Start With A Ground Clock (stationary, normal Earth Gravity) Space Shuttle Clock ran slower than the ground clock! Confirming time travel!
So all you need to Time Travel is… OR A Really Fast Ship! Super Strong Gravity!
