TIME TRAVEL METHOD

by Jack Bowman 2005

The following is from Pierre-Simon Laplace, Theory of Probability, 1812

Let us imagine an Intelligence who would know at a given instant of time all forces acting in nature and the position of all things of which the world consists; let us assume, further, that this Intelligence would be capable of subjecting all these data to mathematical analysis.  Then it could derive a result that would embrace in one and the same formula the motion of the largest bodies in the universe and of the lightest atoms.  Nothing would be uncertain for this Intelligence.  The past and the future would be present to its eyes.

"Scientists have to be right.  Artists only have to be."  Jack Bowman

The time travelers of the future have the backward formula for the æther. 

We can all control the æther.  We do it all the time by doing things.  Anything.  Anything that occupies space is part of the æther.  If we drop a rock from waist level we disturb the æther.  We also can predict the future with the dropped rock.  We know that in about one tenth of a second it is going to hit the ground.  Physicist have made formulas for the rock that gives us the time it takes for it to hit the ground. They have in fact predicted a future event or the future one tenth of a second away.  What the time travelers have done is created a, what we might call, super formula that can predict every near future event.  What they discovered (it was actually obvious) was that if you can calculate every event that disturbs the æther then you can reverse the formula or go backward to any time you want.  The computers of 2422 are capable of doing this.  So a small chunk of space is set up to reverse the æther.  The chunk of space requires the exact latitude and longitude or the time travelers are when they want to be but not where they want to be.  The formula runs itself backward and there is the past that would have occupied that space time in a particular time.  In our case 2005.  The computer stops and there is the past in perfect order.  The formula works itself from that point forward because that is what it is doing anyway in 2005.  The time travelers would then be caught in 2005.  This is why they normally send messages or images instead of themselves.  They can send an image of themselves but it will just fade as time progresses.  Much like a hologram.

Most people think that time travelers can readily go into the future but not the past.  That is an error.  They can only go into the immediate future as scientist can go today.  The past is easy to go into because in 2422 it is already known or done for that space time.  For a Time Machine that will take you into the past and allow you to change objects go to this Captain3 site  http://www.retropunkx.com/newtime.htm. So finding the correct latitude and longitude is the necessary knowledge.  To go into the future they have to consider all factors.  Some, many, perhaps almost all are unknown because of the vastness of the galaxy.  So any little factor (even a speck of dust) moving into the area they are working with will cause an error.  The speck of dust problem in itself could be solved by moving outward (expanding the area to be predicted) but then you have an infinite number of moving outwards for accurate forward time travel.

Time travel/æther formula is similar to Dr. John Conway's game of LIFE that was invented in 1970.  One obvious problem to the game of Life is that it is finite or occupies a finite two dimensional chunk of the æther  To play this game go to this site:

The game of life is similar to an evolution game where (IN THE GAME) a blank or dead cell (occupied area) that has three cells surrounding it will reproduce and create another live cell.  A live cell that has two or three cells surrounding it will stay alive.  In the remainder of the cell cases (like when a cell has more than three cells surrounding it then it dies or remains dead).  The rules are always applied to the original number and placement of cells.  When a cell has less than two or three neighbors it also dies.
