Memories of the 28th Century

Personally, I lean toward the mystical view, that the universe that we see is a projection on the more fundamental parts of the universe. This concurs with views of some physicists as well. This can also be an explanation for “dark matter’. There could be a great deal of matter that is outside of our space-time but within range of gravity. Similarly, the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics would also fit into this, and that would be another way to hide mass out of sight of our space-time. This interpretation also lends itself to a simple device for time travel. That device is simply insulation.

If we find a material that is capable of excluding mass and energy that typify space-time and build a chamber, a vehicle, from it, then we will have a working time machine. When that will be working, we will have to look for ways to propel and steer that vehicle in the hyperspace.

There are a couple of problems with this system:
If space-time is truly unitary, then this model does not exist, and the available evidence is ambiguous. It does appear that things are different in smaller distances than Planck’s distance, but we can’t yet tell what that substrate is like. It is possible that there is a distinct substrate that would allow for transportation around in it, but we may not be able to find any way to insulate out little time machine chamber from the rest of space-time. There’s only one way to know for sure’ try it. Another problem is that there might not be any way to direct out insulated chamber around once we get it to separate from the rest of space-time.

This would be an example of everything working perfectly but to no avail. Devising things to operate in the substrate with might be the biggest problem, but it would be worth the trouble. Exactly how we would operate in that level of existence would depend on conditions there. It is quite possible that moving to the right might bring us back in time, etc. We will have to try.

His method should be tried, but it is iffy.


The most likely method for travelling in time is to go faster than the speed of light, or to go so fast that it might as well be faster than light speed, and that rate becomes questionable in some situations. While this might cause a localized singularity, it would allow one to go forward in time a rate that exceeded that on ordinary speeds. And it probably would allow one to circle around in time, so that one could get to part of the past.

That brings up two questions that could only be answered by going there; to wit, is there anything in the past, or in the future? We know that now has a local duration of more than a half second, but we don’t know how much longer there is something there. The future is even more questionable, because it has not yet happened. The lack of certainty could be a problem if the universe were not determined, but all of the available evidence says that everything is determined, so rather than an unviewable white glare, there should be something in the future.


One method of time travel will, does work: travel as spirit only, whether one calls in astral projection, soul travel, or something else, it works in space and into the past and the future. Accounts of this type of travel indicate that the universe is not a real universe, because it exists as layers over the substrate of the essential, but what can travel there is non-physical, or only slightly physical, which might restrict the kind of vehicle that we might use. Research done in this method also indicates that there is something of the physical world left, and people can operate in it.

While this may seem like an unlikely matter for research, this is the method that is most likely to work in ways that would be effective, and it may explain why we seldom encounter time travelers; they are only partly physical, at least while they are travelling. And this method has a built-in safety, because the traveler will be tossed back to his place of origin when faced with mortal fear.

So get back in practice with your yoga.
