Borrowed Time: Interview with Michio Kaku

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of time travel, highlighting three necessary conditions: the validity of Einstein's General Relativity, the universe's structural suitability, and overcoming practical challenges. While the first condition is widely accepted, skepticism exists regarding the second due to cosmic background radiation observations. The third condition is deemed nearly impossible due to the immense energy and time required. An alternative method to violate causality involves sending messages through a chain of civilizations, which could bypass some limitations of time travel. The conversation also touches on advanced concepts like wormholes and warp drives, emphasizing the need for supertechnology and negative energy.

In order to be able to travel to the past, three conditions should be fulfilled:

1. Einstein's General Relativity is a valid description of the universe.
2. The Universe has a suitable structure probably incorporating sufficiently fast rotation.
3. The practical difficulties can be overcome.

My personal views on these three points are:

1. Yes. A basically simple (oh well) and beautiful theory giving several verified predictions and so far fully consistent with experiments
2. Most probably no (as indicated by the isotropy of background radiation)
3. No way. Keeping you and the rocket going for, say, ten billion years is not exactly an easy task.

There is however an easier way to violate causality if requirements 1 and 2 are met: Sending messages by radio. If the universe is inhabited by civilizations, you could send a message to one of them with instructions on how to forward the message to the next civilization, and so forth back to Earth. You don't have to wait for long to see whether the chain of transmissions has been successful; in fact, you should already have received the message...
 
Jeebus, the rotation part is no longer strictly necessary, as Professor kaku explains in the interview. Worm holes can do it and so can warp drive "metric engineering" like the Alcubierre drive. All it takes is supertechnology and negative energy.
 
Ok, sorry about that, SelfAdjoint.

I gotcha now.

FAX ME TO THE MOON...OR TO NAZCA LINES?

I think math theorists really need to explain :confused: some things of the "past" and present (for example the fractal geometry and astronomical signs in wheat fields and filmed lights traveling above them) before looking "beyond" the outer space. :eek:

Dr.Vladimir Poponin set DNA in a tube, irradiated it with laser. Captured the light and formed an helix spiral like a crystal. When DNA was removed, the LIGHT CONTINUED SPINNING BY ITSELF, looking like violet light coming out from the pyramidion with the help of Tesla Coil. Austrian scientist, Anton Zeilenger, bended photons like multiple DNA in angular orbital moment. In Switzerland, CERN Large Hadron Collider experiences want to generate mini black holes with little entropy at a rate of 1 per second. It seems these are bubbles of vacuum. In Los Alamos National Laboratory and South Carolina Univ., they are examining the “gravastars” and they try to create super-atoms. Gravity has not been detected in space lesser than 1 mm.
These DOUBLE SNAKE energy was known in the past, though that's a long issue:

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...
