[QUOTE="John, post: 7620, member: 14"] [b]new member[/b] Baryn, Welcome to the community bro. I apologize for not posting sooner, I have been a bit busy lately. If all one had to do was to go faster than light to time travel, your theory is pretty sound. However, based on my limited knowledge of Einstein, the speed of light and time travel, your theory would not cause any actual time travel to occur. Here is why: Steve Hawkins in his book "Black Holes and Baby Galaxies", discusses particles that speed at rates faster than the speed of light. He talks about them in relation to black holes. As you know a black hole is a singularity whose gravity is such that not even light at it's tremendous speed can escape. However, some radiation does manage to escape, and therefore must be moving at rates faster than light. However, though obsevervable, no time travel occurs. Here is, what I believe would happen applying your theory. Let's say that you could slow the speed of light to 1mph in a vacuum. You begin walking(lets say you walk at a rate 1.5 mph), time does not slow noticeably enough for you to know the difference nor does it appear that you are moving slower to an outside-the-vacuum observer. Why you might ask? Because you slowed light, rather than speeding up to it's original speed. The speed of light has been, in the past, considered a "benchmark" for relativity physics. However, it is not the "magic" speed at which all miracles become possible. You could just as easily say I went 299,792,458 m/s. But it is at the increased speed, not necessarity the particle (i.e. light, radiation) that makes the difference. (to be continued) [/QUOTE]
