Scientists Attempt to Map the Multiverse
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: cosmology, physics, time travel
The trouble starts when they attempt to beam up from a planet during an ion storm. Something goes wrong. They appear aboard the Enterprise, but things are askew: Crew members greet the captain with Nazi-style salutes, and First Officer Spock sports a goatee. Observing these small but significant differences, Kirk muses that the crew has materialized in “a parallel universe coexisting with ours on another dimensional plane.”
These days, one parallel universe is hardly enough for science fiction. Instead, it seems the entire multiverse is having its Hollywood moment. Films like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Everything Everywhere All at Once entice the viewer with multiple versions of various characters and a dizzying array of alternate realities. Though they’re not particularly heavy on the physics, these films are definitely latching onto something. The idea of the multiverse — the provocative notion that our universe is just one of many— has fully cemented itself in mainstream pop culture. (Or, at least, in the current phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.) Its appeal as a storytelling device is obvious. Just as time travel allowed Marty McFly to experience different timelines in the Back to the Future series, multiverse tales allow characters to explore a multitude of worlds with varying degrees of similarity to our own, as well as altered versions of themselves.
While Hollywood can’t seem to get enough of the multiverse, it remains deeply controversial among scientists. Ask a prominent physicist whether they believe in a multitude of universes beyond our own, and you’ll get either a resounding yes or a vehement no, depending on whom you encounter. Advocates on the two sides show no mercy toward each other in their books, on their blogs, and, of course, on Twitter. But physicists didn’t pull the idea out of thin air — rather, several distinct lines of reasoning seem to point to the multiverse’s existence, bolstering the idea’s merit. Sabine Hossenfelder, a theoretical physicist at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, has called the multiverse “the most controversial idea in physics.”

More People Need to Watch This Superb Netflix Sci-Fi Series
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: life extension, time travel
From creator Brad Wright, who honed his expertise writing on three Stargate shows for 14 years, Travelers is a departure from traditional sci-fi tropes. It’s the kind of modern, grounded sci-fi that funnels its wriggling ball of time travel strands through the lenses of empathetic, endearing characters.
This team of time-traveling agents, called “travelers,” inhabit the bodies of people who are close to death. With the help of GPS coordinates, historical records and social media, the consciousnesses of the future travelers are inserted into the bodies of 21st century civilians. It’s the cleanest way for the travelers to go back in time and complete their mission, utilizing the lives of those who were going to die anyway.

Scientists Successfully Sent A Particle Back in Time Using A Quantum Computer
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: computing, information science, particle physics, quantum physics, time travel
As fantastic as this may seem this is not an impossible occurrence.
Before Einstein, time travel was just a story, but his calculations led us into the quantum world and gave us a more complicated picture of time. Kurt Godel found that Einstein’s equations made it possible to go back in time. What’s up? None of the ideas about how to go back in time were ever physically possible.
Before sending a particle back in time, scientists from ETH Zurich, Argonne National Laboratory, and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology asked, Why stick to physical grounds?

Are Black Holes Time Machines? Yes, but There’s a Catch
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: cosmology, time travel
A clock near a black hole will tick very slowly compared to one on Earth. One year near a black hole could mean 80 years on Earth.

The TIMELINE of Star Trek: Prodigy Explained
Posted by Jose Ruben Rodriguez Fuentes in category: time travel
With the timeline of Star Trek: Prodigy being quite confusing and complex, we thought it would be worth a video dedicated to the timeline of Prodigy? So strap in as we deal with Vau N’akat time travel, how prodigy fits in with Picard, and much more!
This is gonna be interesting because we first have to start with the Protostar, we will somewhat go chronologically down the timeline, but with time travel being involved, we will jump to relevant times to further explain things.

Could humans use black holes to time travel?
Posted by Paul Battista in categories: cosmology, space travel, time travel
Black holes form natural time machines that allow travel to both the past and the future. But don’t expect to be heading back to visit the dinosaurs any time soon.
At present, we don’t have spacecraft that could get us anywhere near a black hole. But, even leaving that small detail aside, attempting to travel into the past using a black hole might be the last thing you ever do.

Time travel that cannot alter the past or future ‘proven to be real’
Posted by Paul Battista in categories: mathematics, time travel
A researcher has claimed time travel may actually be possible – and says he has the math to prove it. Time travel is a concept that has fascinated scientists for some time. It’s the idea that one can move to specific points in time, often seen in popular TV shows and films such as Donnie Darko, Back to the Future andNetflix’s The Umbrella Academy.
