Thoughts on the movie Deja Vu

[chaoseverlasting]

Have any of you seen this movie? For those who have, is it actually possible to do what they've done in it (look back in time)? This isn't the first movie to deal with this phenomena, I believe that a move by Ben Affelick is also loosely based around the same principle.

From what I understand, they created a telescope powerful enough to look back in time by bending space upon itself... This is scientifically possible?

wanted … one mirror!

Hi chaoseverlasting!

(I don't know anything about the movie, but …)

All telecopes look back in time!

The only practical difficulties with using a telescope to watch, say, the Americans discovering Columbus, are:
i] the lack of a mirror at exactly the right distance
ii] insufficient magnification (and photomultiplication).

I have not seen the movie Deja Vu, but I am familiar with the concept of looking back in time. While it may seem like a far-fetched idea, the concept of seeing the past through a powerful telescope is not entirely impossible.

In theory, if we were able to develop a telescope with an incredibly high resolution and powerful enough to see objects at great distances, we could potentially see light that has traveled from the past. Light takes time to travel, so when we look at distant objects, we are essentially seeing them as they were in the past. However, this would require a telescope that is far more advanced than what we currently have.

Additionally, the idea of bending space upon itself to see the past is not a scientifically accepted concept. While there are theories about bending space and time, they are still just theories and have not been proven. It is important to remember that movies often take creative liberties with scientific concepts for the sake of entertainment.

It is also worth noting that time travel, as portrayed in movies, is not a scientifically accepted concept. While there are theories about the possibility of traveling through time, they are still highly debated and have not been proven.

In conclusion, while the idea of looking back in time through a powerful telescope may be possible in theory, it is not currently possible with our current technology. And the concept of bending space to see the past is not scientifically accepted. It is important to approach movies that deal with scientific concepts with a critical eye and not take everything at face value.
