Antimatter as Vehicle in Time Travel

In summary: Antimatter.In summary, a universe with only antimatter would be like our own, except that any particles that were present in our universe when it began would have been destroyed. This would have drastic consequences, as anyone who traveled back in time would be turned into particles that don't exist in the present.

What would be the state of a universe that contains only antimatter? Is it in a state of contraction or expansion similar to ours?

As what Feynman diagram shows antiparticles travel backward in time, so if we can transform ordinary matter into antimatter by changing the protons to antiprotons, neutrons to antineutrons, and electrons to positrons, the new form of matter will travel backward in time. So a time machine is really a matter-antimatter converter.

How do you get the State of 'ANTI-TIME'?..the new form of matter
(Anti-Anything) would get no further than the first closest/nearest ordinary matter...Anhialating in a small fraction of pico-second!..the past worldline in any Feynman Model cannot and does not allow for anything from the present to be transported to the past due to Collapsed Wavefunctional interactions.

The only worldline available has to avoid all of 'present day' matter, just try and create a World-History-Line without interacting with any 'real-time' matter and you've solved the most problematic factor in SST and M-Theory, just how does one avoid 'Anything' in the 'Real' Present-Time?..by creating Virtual Pathways, unphysical routes/Paths!

The antitime is just another direction of time (there are only two directions). All matter follow one direction and all antimatter follow the other direction.

Three fundamental properties of matter and antimatter are mass, charge and spin. Mass is common for both. Spin might not be common because of parity nonconservation. Charge is the property that distinguishes matter and antimatter.

So when I say antimatter, I really mean, there must be an antimass and antispin for it to be a true converter for time travel.

And one of the consequences for this :So when I say antimatter, I really mean, there must be an antimass and antispin for it to be a true converter for time travel.

The appearence converts one into the other?..this will have drastic consequences, the 'Time-Traveller' that goes backwards to say a 3+1 spacetime of 1895, will automatically convert those who happen to have been in his/her near vicinity into 'non-existing' present-time particles, consigning them to never have existing at all in 1895?

Anti-matter by its very nature either destroy's a particle's past history, or creates it's Future path .

Anti-matter and Matter cannot share the same spacetime, ectectra..the Present Time, there is no evidence of Anti-Matter and Matter co-existing for a verifyable amount of Time,without any dynamical alteration to either energy?

But the antimatter can be enveloped or protected by outer layer of pure energy (actually pure energy is a form of spacetime and there should be two topologies for square of pure energy) so that at any past spacetime point, the antimatter is converted back to ordinary matter.

A universe full of anti-matter would be more or less like ours is, assuming the same initial conditions and laws of physics.

There is nothing inherently special about anti-matter save for a few irregular meson decays.

If we assume there are only two directions of time and that ordinary matter is found moving on one timeline, what can we assume to be moving on the other timeline? Feynman diagram already gave us the hint.
 

Related to Antimatter as Vehicle in Time Travel

1. What is antimatter?

Antimatter is a type of matter that is composed of antiparticles, which have the same mass as regular particles but opposite charge. When antimatter comes into contact with regular matter, they annihilate each other, converting their mass into energy.

2. How could antimatter be used as a vehicle in time travel?

One theory suggests that if enough antimatter is collected and contained, it could be used to create a powerful propulsion system for a spacecraft. By generating a large amount of energy, this spacecraft could travel at near-light speeds, allowing it to experience time dilation and potentially travel through time.

3. Is time travel with antimatter possible?

While the concept of using antimatter as a vehicle for time travel is theoretically possible, it is currently not feasible with our current technology. The amount of antimatter needed and the challenges of containing and controlling it make it a difficult and expensive endeavor.

4. What are the potential risks of using antimatter for time travel?

There are several potential risks associated with using antimatter as a vehicle for time travel. These include the difficulty of safely containing and controlling large amounts of antimatter, the potential for catastrophic explosions if containment is breached, and the ethical implications of altering the timeline.

5. Are there any other proposed methods of time travel besides using antimatter?

Yes, there are various other theories and concepts for time travel, such as wormholes, black holes, and cosmic strings. However, all of these methods are currently hypothetical and would require advanced technology and understanding of physics to be possible.
