Hawking's Objection

Stephen Hawking has conjectured that time
travel to the past is not possible because
quantum gravity effects will destroy the
wormhole star gate time machine. His friend
Kip Thorne is not so sure that is the case.
It's my opinion that the good flying saucer
evidence shows that Hawking is wrong.
Indeed, the extraterrestrials may well be
our future descendants coming back in time
to make sure they exist. Igor Novikov calls
this a consistent loop in time.  [...]

Progress Toward the Dream of Space Drives and Stargates
by Paul Gilster on May 23, 2011

by James F. Woodward

I first wrote about James Woodward's work
in my 2004 book Centauri Dreams: Imagining and
Planning Interstellar Exploration, and have
often been asked since to comment further on
his research. But it's best to leave that to
the man himself, and I'm pleased to turn today's
post over to him. [...]
[...] Guided by Mach's principle and Luchak's
Newtonian approximation for gravity -- and a
simple calculation done by Dennis Sciama in his
doctoral work for Paul Dirac in the early
1950s -- it is possible to show that when
extended massive objects are accelerated, if
their "internal" energies change during the
accelerations, fluctuations in their masses
should occur. That's the purchase on gravity
and inertia you need. (Ironically, though these
effects are not obviously present in the field
equations of GRT or electrodynamics, they do not
depend on any novel coupling of those fields.


"The above is hard to reconcile with qft's point particle model.
The only extended structure is the dressing cloud of virtual particle plasma.
I have shown that the induced gravity from the virtual particles is
strong enough to stabilize an extended thin shell of (electro-weak-strong) charges
independent of the qed Casimir force." - comment by Jack Sarfatti


So, no "new physics" is required.) But that
alone is not enough. You need two more things.
First, you need experimental results that show
that this theorizing actually corresponds to
reality. And second, you need to show how
"Mach effects" can be used to make the Jupiter
masses of exotic matter needed for stargates
and warp drives. This can only be done with a
theory of matter that includes gravity.
The Standard Model of serious physics, alas,
does not include gravity. A model for matter
that includes gravity was constructed in 1960
by three physicists of impeccable credentials.
They are Richard Arnowitt (Texas A and M),
Stanley Deser (Brandeis), and Charles Misner
(U. of Maryland). Their "ADM" model can be
adapted to answer the question: Does some
hideously large amount of exotic matter lie
shrouded in the normal matter we deal with
every day? Were the answer to this question
"no", you probably wouldn't be reading this.
Happily, the argument about the nature of
matter and the ADM model that bears on the
wormhole problem can be followed with little
more than high school algebra. And it may be
that shrouded in everyday stuff all around us,
including us, is the Jupiter mass of exotic
matter we want. Should it be possible to expose
the exotic bare masses of the elementary
particles that make up normal matter, then
stargates may lie in our future -- and if in
our future, perhaps our present and past
as well. [...]

FIRST ADDENDUM

(( MEANWHILE... [Circa: June 2010]... eMpTy ))

Prof. Hawking most recently said that
Time Travel was only possible to the
future, because Time Travel to
the past is fraught with paradox.
He used the example of a man who
builds a time machine that takes him
back in time 2 minutes before he
'steps into the time machine.' If he
subsequently 'prevents' the man that
is his 'past self' from stepping into
the time machine, then the man who does
the time traveling cannot possibly
exist to perform this action. Paradox.

"This is a Red Herring as shown by Kip Thorne, Igor Novikov et-al. "- comment by Jack Sarfatti

Therefore, Hawking admits that although
time travel to the past is impossible,
time travel to the future is easily done.
Simply approach the speed of light, and
as your clocks slow down, relative to the
outside, the reality outside speeds up.
Balance is compensated with relativity
in space-time. To be fair, Prof. Hawking
did not mention the notion of parallel
realities and bifurcating timelines.
The 'Parallel Universe' theory is the only
theory that allows time travel to the past,
but the illusion of 'past' time travel
is compensated for by leaving the timeline
entirely; so, technically, the past is
an illusion, merely another parallel
reality not within the timeline in which
you started. In other words, the only way
to travel backwards is to jump onto an
entirely different timeline which creates
the illusion of traveling backwards.
The arrow of time is not violated, and
you lose track of your original timeline,
existing thereafter in a parallel, seemingly
'past' timeline (assuming the reality isn't
completely divergent!)  At its core, 'time'
really is illusory. Einstein said it
didn't really exist, but was a human
cognitive construct. All we ever really
know is now. We can only travel in the now,
creating various illusions along the way.

[SEE: 'Into The Universe with Stephen Hawking'
http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/stephen-hawking/ ]

I guess that wonderful notion of 'us'
jumping into a time machine to take a
look at what Ezekiel saw way back when
and realizing he saw us in our time
machine, was really less about going
backwards and more about going SIDEWAYS
onto a parallel track where a parallel
Ezekiel existed contemporaneously with
'us.' Hmmmm...  Quoting Saul Paul Sirag:

"There's been some speculation that the
Ezekiel vision was of what we today would
call a flying saucer. In other words, an
object of advanced technology.
It's hard to know one way or another,
but I've been wondering if it was not
a time machine of some sort. Recently
in Physical Review Abstracts (D 15 March
1974) there was a report [by Frank Tipler]
of the possibility of time travel by means
of a rotating cylinder. It would be odd
if we were to go in such a time machine
to visit Ezekiel's time and place.
We could do this, because we know the
day he saw his vision, since he carefully
recorded the time (a date equivalent to
July 5, 592 BCE give or take a day) and
place. It would be odd if in doing
this -- to have a peek at Ezekiel's
vision it turned out that what Ezekiel
saw was just us in our time machine
trying to have a peek at his vision."
-- Saul-Paul Sirag (May 1974)

So, in a Multiverse, given a near infinite number
of earths, (and Ezekiels), e.g. Earth Prime,
Earth^2, Earth^3, Earth^4... all at various
waveform manifestations with separate timelines,
we could conceivably convince ourselves of all
sorts of possibilities as they might apply to the
illusory nature of time travel. Perhaps we'll
figure this all out, in time...? AND...

Yes...
The curiosity of 'entropy,' light speed, time dilation,
etc., according to relativity, quite proven by GPS
satellite's onboard clocks slightly out of phase with
earth surface clocks, and myriad's of other cosmological,
quantum mechanical anti-intuitive shenanigans, verified;
time travel, apparently is limited to future travel
only... Curiouser and curiouser, however, the speed of
light is, yea verily, limited to approx. 186,000 miles
per second in 'SPACE' - lovely inflating invisible space,
created, it seems, following the inflationary big bang
dohicky, inflating, by the way, FASTER than the speed of
light! Is that not interesting?  That space itself may
expand faster than the speed of light, while the light
within the superluminal inflation of space maintains
its photonic speed limit!  Therefore, if one could
perhaps circumvent 'space,' one could circumvent the
speed of light?  Definitely not a technology for
beginner fire apes. Seeya 'round the mountain!

to such things as temples, gargoyles, monkeys, horse-

gyrations of an anti-critical thinking mode, and other
amusements of a lucidly dreaming collective.
Then again... Never mind.

NASA's Gravity Probe B (GP-B) mission
has confirmed two key predictions
derived from Albert Einstein's general
theory of relativity, which the
spacecraft was designed to test.
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/gpb/
[Note: "The Gravity Probe B gyroscopes
are the most perfect spheres ever made
by humans. If these ping pong-sized
balls of fused quartz and silicon were
the size of the Earth, the elevation
of the entire surface would vary by
no more than 12 feet."]
The experiment, launched in 2004,
used four ultra-precise gyroscopes
to measure the hypothesized geodetic
effect, the warping of space and time
around a gravitational body, and
frame-dragging, the amount a spinning
object pulls space and time with it as
it rotates. GP-B determined both
effects with unprecedented precision
by pointing at a single star,
IM Pegasi, while in a polar orbit
around Earth.

In June 2009 Thorne resigned his Feyman
Professorship (becoming the Feynman Professor
of Theoretical Physics, Emeritus) in order
to ramp up a new career in writing, movies,
and continued scientific research. His principal
current writing project is a textbook on
classical physics. His principal current movie
project is Interstellar, for which he
co-authored the story and is executive producer,
and Steven Spielberg is the Director.

THE PHYSICS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

[...]  The weak force is carried by a trinity
of very heavy particles: the W^+, W^-, and
Z^o particles. The W^+ particle carries a
positive electric charge, the W^- particle
carries a negative electric charge like the
electron, and the Z^o carries no charge.
This trinity of particles has the ability to
change the flavors of quarks; for example,
they can change a down quark into an up quark.
Our inventory then includes (1) the four
forces: gravitation, electromagnetism, the
strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear
force, (2) the quarks that form the mesons and
baryons, and (3) the leptons: electrons, muons
and tau particles, along with their neutrinos.
The four forces involve the graviton, the
photon, eight gluons, and three particles that
carry the weak force. That is 13 particles.
Then there are the leptons: electrons,
electron neutrinos and their antiparticles,
the positron and electron antineutrino; the
muon, which looks in every way just like an
electron except that it is heavier, its muon
neutrino, and their two antiparticles; and the
tau particle, which is just a fat muon,
together with its neutrino and their
antiparticles. That is 12 leptons.
Finally, we have the set of six quarks,
which come in six flavors and three TV-colors,
together with an entire set of antiquarks
having Xerox-colors and opposite electric
charges. This makes a total of 36 kinds of
quarks. Thus we have 36 quarks, 12 leptons,
and 13 particles involved with the four forces.
Altogether that makes 61 kinds of particles.
That is the "standard model."
In addition to these, there is one more
particle called a Higgs boson, a particle
expected to be like a quanta (i.e., the chunks
of energy) postulated to give the W^+, W^-, and
Z^o particles their heavy masses. To say the
least, as Chris Quigg put it in Scientific
American, "By the criterion of simplicity the
standard model does not seem to represent
progress over the ancient view of matter as
made up of earth, air, fire and water,
interacting through love and strife."
