B Is Time Travel Feasible Within the Limits of Light and Atomic Interactions?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of time travel, with a participant proposing that time is merely an interaction between atoms and suggesting that while interactions can be reversed, they cannot be undone. However, the response emphasizes that such ideas lack grounding in peer-reviewed science and do not adhere to forum guidelines. It highlights the variability of atomic interactions under different conditions, such as gravitational effects on time perception. The conversation ultimately concludes that without credible scientific sources, speculative theories cannot be entertained in the forum. The thread is closed, pending any future contributions from reliable scientific literature.

I just wanted to share this idea with other people who may be interested:

I watched a PBS Space Time episode about the speed of light more accurately described as the speed of causality.

And I Submit! That "time" is simply a interaction between atoms.

And though an interaction can be reversed, it can never be undone (it has already happened)

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Hi Andrew! As you are new, you are not as familiar with the standards here.

Generally speaking, the kind of reference you provided does not follow PhysicsForums guidelines. That is because it is not from a suitable peer-reviewed publication & author.

It would make more sense if you had a specific question about Time. As opposed to making a statement about Time - and one that would be considered speculative at that.
 
Also: you are probably familiar with Relativity. You may not be aware that the speed of atomic interactions varies under various boosts. For example, time appears to elapse more slowly in the interior of the Earth than in the stratosphere. So atomic interactions (as you hypothesize) do not have a single specific duration of time that they define.

What is invariant is c.
 
As @DrChinese pointed out, we do not debunk questionable sources as we do not discuss personal theories which aren't published in peer reviewed scientific journals. Both is affected by this youtube video, so I'll close this thread.

As always, if there is a scientific reliable source that discusses the subject or related ones, please contact me or another mentor and this thread can be re-opened.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

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
