AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relativity of time, as proposed by Einstein, and its implications for time travel. It questions whether individuals encountered during time travel would be the same, particle-wise, as those in the present, and addresses concerns about potential destructive encounters with one's past self. Participants express skepticism about the feasibility of time travel, citing a lack of evidence supporting its possibility. The conversation also touches on the idea that while one might travel back in time, their own time reference would continue to move forward. Overall, the dialogue explores theoretical aspects of time travel and its paradoxes.

now let's say time is relative (which it is, from einstein), now that's implies the next thing:
when someone is going back in time he's going through his own time frame while the others are in their own time frames are not affected by it (because if the other choice was correct that will assume that one man can effect all the human race which is to me unlikely).
my question are the people he encouters are the same as in the present (i mean particlewise {im asking this because there the assumption that when you encounter yourself in the past you will be destoryed from this i get that he was made out of anti particles is this the same with people})?

when someone is going back in time

There is no evidence that this is possible.

Haven't you seen Back to the Future?

im assuming it can be done.
 
another thing about time.
let's say i go back in time in the time refrence of universe i will go back in time but my time refrence will go forward.
what do you think?
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
