And this is the main point that makes time travel in movies completely unbelievable to me. According to the theory or relativity, there are no absolute coordinates. And even if their were, is earth the center of the universe that stands still? So how could you jump for one time to another and expect to land in the same relative coordinates to the earth. As the author of the articles says, there would need to be end points at both ends of the leap. Like two time machines. Or some naturally occurring end points. The only other option is to move through time and space at the same time(much like we do naturally), and not instantaneously jump through time.
- pbhjpbhj 17y agoIf there are no absolute coordinates then there is an arbitrary choice of coordinate system and you are welcome to choose your jumping off point as fixed. When I jump I push the entire universe down by about 30cm. Makes the maths a reall bugger to work out though.
