On Building Time Machines, Part 3, and Conclusion

Another method of time travel that is certain and reliable is travelling through black holes. O.K., I don’t mean through the singularity but through the region encompassed by the event horizon. This isn’t something that you can do with a quantum black hole or with a small airplane (although that might make a funny movie). This method requires a large black hole, and the region within the event horizon would have to be a fair percent of a light year across, but the mass would not make any real difference, because that is a variable quantity. This is simply a matter of taking a spaceship around the singularity and through the white hole through which the black hole exhausts material. The passage is a wormhole, but the singularity keeps it open, so one would not have to add all that energy to the system.
There are two relatively minor problems with this system. A big problem is that one does not know in advance where one will end up. Eventually, it may become possible to determine where the other end of the white hole is, but that would not be true for the first trip through. The white hole could be anywhere in the past, present, or future, or even in a different universe. This is a relatively minor thing, but the people who explored would have to remember that they were probably on a one way trip. There is a slight chance that the white hole may close unexpectedly. The closing of the hole could be perfectly disastrous.
This kind of time travel is perfectly theoretical, and it is quite possible that it would not work, which would be a disaster for those doing the exploration, but think of the experience. It is also possible that the explorers would end up in a far distant place, even billions of light years away. While this is very different from inter-dimensional travel, whether through hyper-space or directly the results might be the same, because the white holes are strange and mysterious. Theory holds that the region within the event horizon of a black hole is like ordinary space, except that nothing leaves directly, but such a region would also be strange; we will have to go there to find out.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we can be confident that there are ways to travel through time at other than the traditional rate, and some of the methods that have been proposed are feasible. At this time we humans do not have the resources that would be required to build a system for exploiting time travel, except for laboratory models that can only move a few atoms at a time. The best bet is with inter-dimensional travel. There is serious research being done in this realm, and some people think that there have been positive results.
And there are other routes of research, and there are serious scientists investigating them:

And there are many other serious investigations.
There are also some suggestions that time travelers have already been around. I don’t vouch for the accuracy of these data, but they are something, and there are some alleged proofs that are just jokes.

There is pretty good evidence that there are parallel universes, but accessing them is still a problem. That there are parallel universes makes time travel not just likely but necessary. All we have to do is access one parallel universe and move from that to another that travels at a different rate of time.

Here is a claim that a quantum state is visible. If that is true, then we are just a step away from walking into a different universe. Look at this carefully. Ther eis also a video of the lead researchers that aids in making it believable.

I believe that the best place to investigate is the matter of parallel universes, Everett’s Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Theory. That will not require a multi-billion dollar spaceship (at least not right now), but the costs may be as great or even much more, but the results will be even better.
While I have long been an enthusiast of time travel, I had great doubts, and I wrote this series of blog posts partly to put the matter behind me, but I think that I have found enough evidence to say that time travel is worthy of research. It looks like there is something going on that is very different from what we see in ordinary situations. I don’t know how we will manage to take advantage of trans-dimensional travel, but that will be worked out sooner than one might expect.

It also appears that the Many Worlds Interpretation has more implications than I had previously thought. This is something that deserves research. These are things that can be seen and held. If Quantum fields can be applied to diamonds, then they can be applied to people. I just would love to have had the complete results twenty years ago.
