Time travel is impossible. The past and future do not exist. Only now exists.

>>16842806 (OP)
future time travel is trivial, just get in fast thing, go in a circle and land back where you started.

>>16842811
Is that really time travel though? You're just ageing slower relative to people in another location. You're not jumping forwards in time instantly. It's no different from freezing yourself for 10 years and saying you time travelled.

problem?
unless time is an intrinsic property then this seems like a non-issue. a matter of subjective labeling

>>16842863
The colloquial version of time travel, like you see in the movies. They jump between large amounts of time, seemingly removing themselves from existence and emerging at a new time period.

Apparently people in the space station age a few milliseconds slower per year than those on earth, but we don't call them time travellers. Same as simply going to sleep, nobody calls that time travel. I'm taking about jumping forward or back in time a decent amount without experiencing the time in between. There's never going to be a time machine to send someone a year into the future for example

>>16842887
There also is no way to "jump" in space.
travel does not imply teleportation

It is time for Process Philosophy chads to rise

>>16842899
It would be a jump in time.

>>16842806 (OP)
okay, but what's up with the tigerloaf?

also, imagine the moral implications if pseudo-solipsism were proven correct, if against oneself.

>what's up with the tigerloaf?
if you try to time travel you will face him

>>16842806 (OP)
yes but you can slow time relative to other people and "travel into the future" through time dilation

>>16842806 (OP)
Sending information to the future is trivial

There is no universal "now". So in any other reference frame you could be in the past, or in the future

>>16842806 (OP)
If you move through space really really fast you can travel to the future. Relatively.

>>16842806 (OP)
>Only now exists.
Now is constantly slipping away becoming past earlier than you finish your sentence.

>>16842806 (OP)
>inverse calculations are impossible
wrong chud

>>16842806 (OP)
If only now existed then change would be impossible.

>>16843319
Doesn't change come from the forces particles impose on one another? Potential energy etc.

buddhism taught me this

>>16842991
These are time dilation, but not time travel. Time travel would be travelling across time without experiencing the time in between. Like how teleporting would be jumping across space without actually moving the space in between.

>>16842806 (OP)
So why are all the timestamps ITT different and seemingly arbitrarily ordered instead of them all being labeled now and coming to me in the most useful logical order possible?
