So just something I thought when I maybe had to much herb and had to post for Hustle.
Well If i got on a plane, where the time zone was the first lets say first to turn 00:00 on Saturday, i flew around the world to the last place on Earth to turn 00:00 Saturday and waited until it turned that time, then repeated, over and over, would i age faster then the days would go, till eventually i would turn a year older biologically then if i had stayed in place. would that be a form of time travel or just aging you faster... Mmm |

I don't believe so and here is why. Time is relative to you. Theoretically if you were flying in a spaceship at an extremely fast rate you would be speeding through time relative to things sitting in place. The thing is your time would pass relative you no matter what speed. |

Honestly, time is a state of mind :P its not really a thing, its only a thing because we said it was. |

Your biological time advances at a rate relative to itself, because it is always present within space-time and therefore relative to everything else as well. If time and space are indeed one, it may be possible that moving through space in a fast enough amount (very close to light-speed) will allow you to accelerate time as well, relative to everything but yourself. This holistic sense of time and space, being integrals of a whole is also the fundamental reason for why the force of gravity is understood as the evidence of the curvature of space and time. So no, you will not put distance in time relative to anyone else except maybe in the Greenwich mean-time difference, and even then you would always only be at most a day ahead for the singular relation that exists between the two most exterior points that you chose in this zone chart, that's all. |

So just to make this a little bit clear:
General relativity
To understand general relativity, you can first start seeing time slightly differently. First, it's important to understand, that relative speed between two objects is limited at c, which is about 300,000kms-1. Second, you need see gravity not as a force, but as a curvature in space. That is, you're not falling on earth because it pulls you down, but because that's the direction the space is curved.
Now with those two claims, let's imagine this: You're sitting on your garden outside, and a ray of light from a baloon high up in the sky reaches you. Now the spacetime is curved towards you, since you're closer to earth's centre and the spacetime is curved that way. So the light takes less time to reach you. But wait, it can't, because we have the speed limit, right? So how can it be? If we fix the speed it travels, there's only one thing that can change - time. If your time is slower, then light can cover more distance per second of your time. The same applies to any form of acceleration (not falling in gravity is acceleration, check your phone's accelerometer outputs). If you travel accelerate against light rays, your time has to slow compared to theirs so that they can reach you faster, while still travelling at 300,000kms-1 relative you. |

I wanted to read this thread and reply with something smart, but clearly I'm FAR too tired. *raises glass* Here's to those of you who think deep thoughts! |

I hear time travel can keep you ageless, but will mess your brain can't speak straight up. |

Seriously thought time travel would be horrible if you have anyone you care about in this world. I mean the only way you can travel through time would be forward. |

Brancer, there is a great movie called Vanilla Sky which is related to that, I think you'd enjoy. |

You know I remember hearing about that movie, but I never did give it a shot. Think I'll have to see if its on netflix or something. Thanks, Jones. |
