God exists outside of His Creation
The Kingdom of God was created by God, and God existed before He created the
Earth, Universe, Heaven and even the Kingdom of God.
| Isaiah 57:15 |
For thus says the One who is high and lifted up,
who inhabits eternity,
whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with
him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the
lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite. |
| Isaiah 46:9-10 |
9 "Remember the former things long past, For I am
God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me,
10
Declaring the end from the beginning, And from
ancient times things
which have not been done, Saying, 'My purpose will be established,
And I will accomplish all My
good pleasure'; |
Time
Travel is defined loosely as the ability to transport a person or inanimate
objects through time that may be a different geographical location.
Summary and Examples on Time and Time Travel
Time has many fascinating and interesting aspects that are also
reflected in the famous Theory of Special Relativity
E=mc²,
Some points:
- Time is not uniform, as it is a physical property that can change when
mass, speed/acceleration, gravity and some other factors are changing.
(a) As an example, an
Atomic Clock's time will run faster at higher altitudes on
Earth because of a weaker gravity.
(b) A famous experiment, "Hafele-Keating
experiment", had two atomic clocks (with the exact same time) placed on aircraft that flew twice
around the world going eastward and westward. At the end of the
flight, they differed in time
from one another and also with another identical atomic clock at the
U.S. Naval Observatory. Atomic clocks when stationary and next to
one another, will not differ in time.
(c) In newer experiments, based on the principles of
E=mc²
and how time moves, time can be measured to the smallest of time fragments.
With some humor intended, we
live longer by the smallest of time differences:
* by living at higher altitudes on the Earth, and
* time passes slower when we move faster.
See this
link for a more detailed explanation.
(d) As an example regarding Time
Travel that is NOT
scientifically correct but helps as an illustration, there is the
popular movie
Planet of the Apes - released in 1968 where the astronauts come back to
the Earth in a distant future. While the astronauts were in orbit
around the Earth, they experienced a different time domain that has the
Earth's time progress hundreds and hundreds of years into the future.
The entire movie, until the ending's famous scene (shown below), has the primary character
thinking his spacecraft crashed on another planet until he comes across New
York City's Statue of Liberty that is in ruins.
- In relation to God, we need to
understand that God is not a Deity that has plenty of time.
God exists
outside of Time and outside of the restrictions of Time.
- According to Einstein's General
Relativity, there is not a distinction between time and space in a four-dimensional continuum.
- Both
Chaos Theory and
Quantum Physics point to Time as a quantized
property which means it can be measured.
Science Fiction
In popular and fanciful Science Fiction, it is entertaining to believe that
somehow there is a speed that will allow an object to go backward in time.
This is not possible in a Four-Dimensional World that we exist in. In the
higher Dimensions in the Universe,
there are the theories of being able to see and travel into the past and future.
According to Special Relativity
E=mc²,
as an object increases in speed, its size increases, where this puts an eventual
limitation on speed. If an object was approaching the speed of light, then
the objects mass would also approach infinity.
Is Time Travel Possible?
It is impossible for human beings to design and build anything to go back in
time. There have been theories that it may be possible to go into the future, as
discussed in the Twin
Astronauts and Time Travel Paradox at the end of this topic,
if
mankind could build a spacecraft with specific speed requirements. If the
hypothetical spacecraft could reach a specific speed in space, and then return
to earth, then more time would have passed on earth than in the spacecraft.
God can:
- Take us into the future and back again if it
is His purpose, which He did with John in the Book of Revelation.
- Show Paul visions of
Kingdom of Heaven.
- Show Old Testament Prophets visions of the future.
- Show the past event of the
Crucifixion of Jesus Christ to everyone who inherits
Salvation, which this author believes He will do for us all to see the
price beyond understanding that was paid. Note that those who were
there at the Cross and took part in the murder and do not have Salvation,
will see His return to earth as mentioned in
Revelation 1:7. It is this author's belief that as part of
the different Judgments, is where all human
beings will witness the Crucifixion done in the past.
- Enable traveling in time and transporting a person because God has
infinite power and exists outside of time.
As mentioned in the Dimensions in the Universe
topic,
what will be perceived and not always discussed by different
Scientist that specialize in Superstring Theory's possibilities of time travel,
is the factor of light.
Light reflecting from the past, carries with it the reflections that have
occurred in the past. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation, a
particle, a packet of photons and behaves like a wave and a particle at the same
time. Consider an incident:
- An Object A is receiving light images from another Object B that is at
any distance away.
- Suddenly Object B, with the light that is omitting and the light
surrounds it, is transported through time to be adjacent to Object A
so Object A is suddenly getting the light image of Object B twice.
Two questions, of many, concerning this event with consideration of energy,
light, mass and time changes:
- What happens in the vicinity of Object A now that the light image Object
B from the past intersects with the light image of Object B that was
transported?
- Does the light image of Object B's double occurrence cancel,
annihilate, warm the temperature of the area affected or something
unexpected?
Time Travel in Higher Dimensions
In an excerpt from the Ten Dimensions in our
Universe Topic regarding higher dimensions:
According to Superstring Theory, from 1984, The Fifth and Sixth
Dimensions is where other possible worlds are located.
- In the Fifth Dimension, it is suggested that we could see a slightly
different world and objects located around our current view.
- In the Sixth Dimension, it is suggested that
time travel could be possible.
The theories on time travel at greater dimensions, are problematic because
they suggest that one could enter a time-stream in the past or future.
Repeating the question from above, the
perceptions that are not always discussed by Scientist that
specialize in Superstring Theory is the factor of
Light.
Light
reflecting from the past, carries with it the reflections that have occurred in
the past, which will have an affect according to many theories. In other
words, light from a traveling object can intersect from other time streams of light
to change the naturally occurring event.
Light is a Constraint
As we know from the theory of Black Holes that
Light can be
bent and also stopped from acceleration / movement along with the creation of
energy and even mass when Photons (light) have no mass but can create mass in
special circumstances as discussed in E=mc².
Would time travel from someone or something, which has that ability from higher
dimensions have an adverse effect? The answer theoretically is yes.
As one of many examples, suppose a person could repeatedly jump backwards in
time at an interval of a few seconds. Do the
events, energy,
Light,
mass and time change create a
vortex of some kind for lack of a better description for the moment of arrivals? As
a partial example of the constructs to be considered, we all are familiar with
light being amplified in a magnifying glass which is aimed at something like
paper or wood, where the light intensified can catch the paper on fire. This is
just one area of many problem areas concerning going back in time where light is
amplified, energy is increased, mass is added and the effects of time are
altered for the area around the event.
Unknown Logistics
There are still the problems on making sure to not be transported inside of a
tree, mountain, in the path of a moving object or on top of a lake. When
there is mass, movement and energy being added to existing mass, movement and
energy, would the change by an object coming from another time, cause:
(a) an
explosion,
(b) collapse of materials from increased gravity;
(c) heat increased
to burn up all areas in the event?
These are the logistics problem areas which
are nominally mentioned in Science Fiction literature and movies. As a
very weak attempt to dramatize this problem by Hollywood in the popular
Terminator movies, the time traveling event required the transported person to
have a circular sphere of energy around him that destroyed anything in the
immediate area that ensured the safety of moving in time.
Biological Problems
One last additional point regarding traveling in time to the past, is the
past has already occurred so traveling back into it would require the ability to
sustain travel in higher dimensions, which Quantum Physicist state is impossible
for mankind's biological design.
Twin Astronauts and Time Travel Paradox
From science we know
that energy
can change its Form into Matter and Matter is subject to Time. How fast
time passes can be different from one place to another depending upon mass,
gravity and speed of the object at a particular location which is a part of
Einstein's Theory of Relativity. As an example, there is the famous "twin
astronauts aging differently when one of the twins travels to Alpha Centauri
theory" where if one of the twins travels at half the speed of light to
Alpha Centauri and back, then he returns at a
different age than his brother.
Since the time of the Twin Astronauts theory was proposed in the 1960s, there
have been some amendments. This link on "Twins
Paradox of Relativity Is Absolutely Wrong" explains the theory with
corrections. (If link is missing to Twins
Paradox, click here.)
Grandfather Paradox, Quantum Entanglement and Butterfly Effect
The Grandfather Paradox is a
theory that if Time Travel is possible then a Time Traveler could go back in time and murder his or her
grandfather before the grandfather has children, which then is an act of suicide
for the Time Traveler. This is
because the Time Traveler's parent was never born of the grandfather, which
causes the Time Traveler to never be born.
There is actually research done at the most prestigious of American
Universities which are proposing the Grandfather Paradox is guarded by the laws of time which
prohibit Time Travelers from murdering their progenitors. The proposed
explanation, which doesn't disclose it is a theory, states that there is
Closed Timelike Curves (CTCs)
that go through time and space which always return to their starting point.
The CTC theory guarantee there is the same place to return, and additionally the
place is exactly like it was before the Time Travel.
Furthermore, the CTC is supposedly like a curved path of limited Time Travelling for a Time Traveler
which only allows
navigation through time to specific areas of history in the past that will not
conflict with any events, people and conditions that can alter or change the
ability to return to the same time and place coordinate which was left from.
There is also research being done in CTC areas that involves ideas and
concepts of
Quantum Entanglement as a means of
Teleportation.
| An excerpt from the E=mc² topic,
where this author does NOT believe in the Big Bang or Singularity
as God did a Creation and
Stretching of the Universe where
our Universe is a subset of
a larger reality, but
God could allow some of the Quantum Physic laws and equations be true
that are not based on a Singularity and a Big Bang event.
Quantum Entanglement's premise is mentioned because
of the interesting theory that "if the Universe was in a state of Singularity"
then the particles that were created after the Big Bang were at one time part of
a single highly compressed particle or collection of particles. According to
a few
theories, then the particles after being separated could still have a linkage
with the ability to send and
receive communications of some kind to one another because of the previous state
of a link in the singularity. This author is not endorsing this theory,
and mentioning it for the reader's awareness.
The definition of Quantum Entanglement is
defined as the ability for particles at the subatomic level to be paired to
either one or more other subatomic particles, that can be separated by large
distances, and have the ability to interact with each other. This might
involve sharing data, shapes, speed, behavior in terms of waves or bursts.
There is unique circumstance that has been noted
in some quantum documentation dealing with Quantum
Entanglement, where
quantum particles are capable of going faster than the
speed of light. Theories coming out on an explanation of this phenomenon
go further past the E=mc² equation and
require new mathematical models that do not exist as of the year 2019.
In some recent news stories, there is the belief
that China and possibly Russia along with the United States are experimenting
with aspects of Quantum Entanglement as a means of sending and receiving data.
This would eliminate the problems with hostile interception of data by the known
methods. As an example, radio waves can be intercepted.
If Quantum Entanglement is developed and is a
sustainable means of sending and receiving data, then the possibilities are
almost endless for the uses. An interesting question, with a follow-up
question, that this author has
not seen posted yet anywhere on the Internet research sites:
- What if there is an environment that becomes
available to receive data, consisting of all aspects of a linked particle location, that is
somewhere else in the universe where we do not know the location and cannot rely
on the data being received because of the unknown source?
- While this author does not believe in
Extraterrestrials from other planets
somewhere in the universe, have those involved in this research considered
this possibility as a type of hostile interferences or interception from
Extraterrestrials, or really the
Nephilm?

After reading the theories and possibilities of using Quantum Entanglement as
a mean of communications, then there is a theory that there may be a way
to instruct particles at a different location to assemble and organize
themselves to exactly duplicate a person. This would be a form of
instantaneous travel that is also called "Quantum
Teleportation". This theoretical possibility is suggesting if there
is a means for organizing particles through Quantum Entanglement to assemble and
organize themselves in different time streams of the past and future to
duplicate a person, assuming that particles at the Quantum Level are not subject
to time constraints, then Quantum Teleportation can also include Time
Travelling.
This author is discussing these areas of Time Traveling for the reader to be
aware, and already has stated that Time Travelling is impossible for
human-beings in our four dimensional limited constraints.
Another reason why Time Travel is
impossible because of our designed bodies' limitations unless intervened by God
as He did with the Apostle John, what is often called as the Butterfly Effect.
This author has not seen
the
Butterfly Effect principle discussed in any Time Travel articles and
theories with the Grandfather Paradox, CTC and Quantum Entanglement research.
The Butterfly Effect would be an impossible obstacle for the CTC safe-guard
theories against altering the past to affect the Time Traveler's return point.
As already stated, the CTC is supposed to guarantee and prohibit the Grandfather
Effect by only allowing time streams that do not affect the Time Traveler, but
that is impossible to be safe-guarded against.
The
Butterfly Effect is often referenced as part of
Chaos
Theory which states that the smallest changes in a complex environment can
have very large effects to the whole environment. The name "butterfly" was
given as part of the naming of the effect because even the smallest of all
touches to an environment, such as the flapping of a
butterfly's wings on an object, can disturb and alter an environment over a
time-period as what is called as a
domino
effect. A domino effect is given as a visual analogous example of the
child's game where a chain of standing dominoes, assembled adjacent to one
another, can all fall down when a single domino at the beginning of the adjacent
dominoes falls against the adjacent domino. Additionally, the Butterfly
Effect has also been described as a "Ripple
Effect" in a pool of water that is disturbed by a pebble thrown in the
middle of the pool of water that sends a small wave to the edges of the pool of
water which thus effects all of the surface area of the pool of water.
Regarding the Butterfly Effect, if a Time Traveler goes back in time, then
the simplest change could disrupt the entire future as dramatized in many
fantasy and science fiction television shows and movies. In regards to the
Grandfather Effect, the Time Traveler does not have to murder his or her
grandfather to prohibit the Time Traveler from being born. The Time
Traveler could stop any event in the past such as:
- Stopping the grandfather from having copulation with his wife on the
specific / required date and time. Copulation on another occasion will not create
the exact future Time Traveler's parent.
- Stopping the parent of the Time Traveler meeting their spouse.
- Literally thousands of other events that prohibit the required Time
Traveler's grandparent / parental union from happening.
