In summary, the speed of light is constant in all three fields, but the fields may affect the speed of light.

I'm not sure if this is the right area of the forums.
If it's not. Tell me which area would be better and I'll post this there.



Time Travel-

Would have to be space travel... and possibly faster than light
If the time traveled and the time it takes to travel took less time to travel than it would
take light to travel the same distance.

you are at point 1.2x, 3.6y, and 128z

2 seconds later you are at point 1.3 x 3.8 y and maybe 128z

If you wanted to travel back in time you would also have to transverse
space.

If you went back in time to your current location you would most likely end up in
the middle of outer space.



Space Travel-

How fast are you/anything that moves actually moving?

How fast do,are,can space crafts move?

How fast is the universe moving?

How fast are we moving in the universe?



Speed Of The Earths Movement-

Speed Of Light
299 792.458 kilometers / second

If a light source is in front of you and you are moving in the universe towards
the light then you should reach the light faster.
As fast as you are moving in the universe towards it.

The same would be true if you are moving away from the light source.
The light would have to travel however much farther to reach you.


How fast are we moving in the universe?

100 kilometers / second----100,000 kilometers / second?

If the speed of light is a constant, by by placing 1 satellite that rotates around the sun
you would able to find out exactly how fast we are moving in the universe.

Earths Orbit= x plane.
Satellites path = y plane

All that would have to be done is measure from the Earth and the satellite the changes in the time light takes to travel to them.

This could also be tested on a smaller scale if the equipment to measure accurately enough was
used.

We could find the direction of movement and the speed.

Has this been done?

(If this is done or has been done and the speed light travels ends up being the same regardless of orientation to the light source, but only dependent on distance.)

(What does that imply ?)


Speed Of Light-

Is the known speed of light only the known speed of light inside of
the gravitational field of the sun?
The galaxy?
The universe?

Is the speed of light the max speed light can move in the suns field?
A galactic field?
a universal field?

Does the speed of light change outside of, the Earth's field? the suns field? the galaxy?



Fields-

Does an object in the space inside the solar system
if given an initial velocity loose or have it's relative velocity
to the Earth change from the movement of the solar system/galaxy/universe?

Space as we have seen it is possibly not the same as space outside of the suns field.

Could space inside of an identical suns field in another galaxy have completely different properties.


Is there a global field, solar field, a galactic field? a universal field?

Do the fields act as limiters.

Less of a limit outside of the Earth's field, less outside of the suns field, less between galaxies?

I think you put too many questions in your post with each requiring a lot of explanation.

Where did these questions arise? Are you studying physics or reading a book on it?

There are some people on here smart enough to answer your questions, but you probably need to break them up and judiciously space them out over a number of threads.

I agree. Please focus your inquiry to the one or two most important questions.

I find these questions about time travel, space travel, and the speed of Earth's movement and the speed of light to be very intriguing. While there is currently no solid evidence or scientific theory that suggests time travel is possible, there are many theories and hypotheses being explored in the scientific community. Some theories involve concepts like wormholes or special types of matter that could potentially allow for time travel. However, until we have concrete evidence or a solid understanding of the laws of physics that govern time, we cannot definitively say that time travel is possible.

In terms of space travel, we have made significant advancements in technology that have allowed us to travel further and faster in space than ever before. However, the speed at which we can travel is still limited by the laws of physics, specifically the speed of light. As you mentioned, the speed of light is a constant and the fastest speed at which anything can travel in the universe. The only way to potentially travel faster than light would be to find a way to manipulate space and time itself, which is still a topic of ongoing research and speculation.

The speed of Earth's movement and the speed of light are both important factors to consider when discussing space travel. The Earth is constantly moving around the sun and the sun is moving within our galaxy, which is also moving within the universe. This means that our speed and direction in the universe is constantly changing. As for the speed of light, it is a constant and does not change based on location or orientation. However, the effects of gravity and other phenomena can affect the perceived speed of light.

In terms of fields, there is currently no evidence to suggest that there are different fields within the universe that would affect our understanding of space and time. However, there are certainly different forces and phenomena that can affect the behavior of objects in space, such as gravity and electromagnetic fields. It is possible that these forces could have different effects in different parts of the universe, but this is still an area of ongoing research.

Overall, as a scientist, I believe that it is important to continue exploring and researching these fascinating topics in order to gain a better understanding of the universe and our place within it. We may not have all the answers yet, but through continued scientific inquiry and exploration, we can continue to expand our knowledge and understanding of time, space, and the laws of physics.
 

What is time travel?

Time travel is the concept of moving between different points in time in a manner analogous to moving between different points in space. It is a popular topic in science fiction and has been explored in various theories and thought experiments in physics.

How does space travel work?

Space travel is the act of moving objects (such as spacecraft) through space. It is made possible by the use of rockets, which provide the necessary thrust to overcome the Earth's gravitational pull and enter orbit. Once in orbit, spacecraft can travel through space using a combination of momentum and gravitational forces.

How fast does the Earth move?

The Earth moves at an average speed of 67,000 miles per hour (107,000 kilometers per hour) as it orbits around the Sun. It also rotates at a speed of about 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 kilometers per hour) at the equator.

What is the speed of light?

The speed of light is a fundamental constant in physics, denoted by the symbol c. It is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second, or about 670,616,629 miles per hour. This is the fastest speed at which all energy, matter, and information can travel in the universe.

Can humans travel at the speed of light?

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, it is impossible for any object with mass to reach the speed of light. As an object approaches the speed of light, its mass would increase infinitely, making it impossible to accelerate further. However, scientists are constantly exploring new technologies and theories that may one day allow for travel at near the speed of light.
