Time loops, black hole and time dilation.

In summary, the conversation centered around the concept of time travel and the potential consequences and paradoxes that may arise. The idea of using wormholes to travel to the future was discussed, as well as the possibility of creating a new universe by linking all of the future to the creation point of the wormhole. The conversation also touched on the concept of time dilation and its effects on a potential new universe or a "big bang" within our own observable universe. While the idea was deemed to be a sci-fi concept, the discussion highlighted the potential complexities and implications of time travel and the creation of new universes.

Hi
I hope this is the right place for this questions, I started to think about this several years ago but had has a hard time finding anyone that's been interested in discussing this.

As far as I understand time travel is not ruled out by modern physics at least if you limit yourself to go into the future. There are several sort of practical ideas about how this can be done most if not all involves warping space to create some sort of wormhole and exploit the effects of time dilation letting the ends of the wormhole drift in time relative to each other. However since this will create all sorts of problems and paradox one rather appealing idea is that since even the smallest drift in time will allow the wormhole to link all of future to the creation point of the wormhole. This can mean that all the energy and information from the future universe will fall into a very small area close to instantly. From the perspective of the wormhole it looks like someone suddenly pressed the reset button and it's big bang all over again. But from the outside perspective wouldn't time dilation be so extreme that the expansion of this new universe would be almost close to nothing so we would end up with a strange super duper massive black hole. I guess such a massive body would suddenly create a massive gravitational field in our universe but the matter falling in would at the event horizon meat an expanding wall getting smeared on the surface, perhaps at some point the mass around the event horizon would be enough to accelerate the expansion of the new universe. Or maybe the stuff hitting the event horizon is the stuff that will time loop to the center of the wormhole. This would be a rather elegant universe where energy is branched into time threads reusing itself sort of.

However this is of course only my sci-fi idea but how would time dilation work if we had another big bang inside our universe? Would we see something like a black hole expanding or would it look static? What about inflation and time dilation if you have an outside observer? Any other ideas you might think of would also be fun to hear, if we where to write a hard sci-fi where sciences mater what would the result of the time machine be?

The 'big bang' is not something which occurred inside a pre-existing spacetime.
So the proposal of something analogous occurring within our existing observable universe doesn't stand up as a reasonable analogy, even in sci fi.

I moved this from science fiction book and movie reviews, but this doesn't meet the guidelines for writing either.
 

1. What is a time loop?

A time loop is a hypothetical concept in which time repeats itself over and over again. This can occur due to various reasons, such as a person or object traveling through time or a repeating event happening in a specific location.

2. How do black holes affect time?

Black holes are objects with extremely strong gravitational forces, which can cause time to slow down or even stop. This is due to the intense gravitational pull, which warps the fabric of space-time.

3. What is time dilation?

Time dilation is a phenomenon where time appears to pass differently for observers in different frames of reference. This can occur due to factors such as velocity or gravitational forces.

4. Can time travel occur through black holes?

There is currently no scientific evidence to support the idea of time travel through black holes. While black holes can cause time to slow down or stop, it is not possible to enter a black hole and travel through time.

5. How do scientists measure time dilation?

Scientists use a variety of methods to measure time dilation, such as atomic clocks and observations of celestial bodies. These measurements help to confirm the effects of time dilation predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity.
