An eqation for energy conversion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on an equation proposed for calculating energy used in time travel, specifically N=(MC^2)[(C-S)/C], where N represents energy converted for time travel, S is speed, M is mass, and C is the speed of light. The equation suggests that as an object travels faster, its energy decreases, which raises questions about the relationship between speed, energy, and time travel. Participants debate whether kinetic energy is sufficient for time travel, noting that moving faster can slow down time, thus affecting the perception of energy usage. The conversation also touches on tachyons, which reportedly lose energy as their speed increases. Overall, the discussion explores the complexities of energy conversion in the context of time travel versus space travel.

An equation for energy conversion

I wanted an equation to find the energy being used for time travel instead of space travel. Tell me if this works.

N=(MC^2)[(C-S)/C]


N representing energy converted to travel through time instead of space

S representing speed

M representing mass

C representing light speed

according to your equation, are you saying, the faster the particle/object travels, the lower its energy?
 
I thought the faster one travels, the slower the rate of things occurring... making clocks slow down is also a form of time travel, right? So energy don't have be converted to be used for time travel - kinetic energy simultaneously make an object travel through space and time at a different rate.

As I recall, that is the case for tachycons. The faster a tachyon moves the lower its energy is.

All of the energy in an object is being used for movement through time if it is standing still. I simply wanted to find out how much is being used in an object moving at high speed. And to figure out energy used to travel through space, all you do is subtract the time energy from the original amount acquired by using E=MC^2

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
