“Space-Time Twisting by Light”
As I cracked open today’s The Washington Post to read some comics news, one individual stood out.
One thing I wanted to do in 2014 was contact Mr. Ronald Mallett, a gentleman I saw on one of the History channels because he declared that the invention of the time machine was not only possible, but (I believe) should have been accomplished last year.
I started typing a letter and a few weeks later and eventually deleted it - not that there was anything of significance.
When I saw the piece regarding time, I thought, “hmmm...even if he figured out how to do so, it would require such massive energy that it couldn't be replicated or frequently utilized.” Altogether, I didn't think it to be possible and his explanations, which smoothly sailed over my noggin’, made little sense.
But as someone interested in an energy source that’s literally out of this World and wanting to make it wireless using “elastic energy,” I began to wonder, “well, what is time travel?” How would anyone even define it to work on it?
My letter’s intention was to help him achieve his goal because it might actually be possible. There are various other reasons but I won’t bore you with the deets.
Wanting to help achieve such a feat was a struggle; much like wireless energy, with the advent of time travel - or whatever we’ll call it - there will be those that will use it with ill intent to psychologically and/or physically harm others.
At the same time, I couldn't and can’t stifle the evolution and introduction of new and undiscovered technology because of the malicious intentions of a few individuals - we’ll leave that to law enforcement to handle. Nonetheless, knowing it will happen is still a burden.
The goal is that if Mr. Mallett’s current success rate is 0%, let’s make it at least 1%. Before continuing though, there needs to be clarification of a few things:
How would you define time?
How would you define time travel?
If there’s anything useful from this I could say to Mr. Mallett to get started, it would be to consider a new concept of time - one that is more efficient and precise than what we know it to be. Much like we look at a clock that says “5:34 PM,” so too can it say “19N” and mean the same thing. I’l leave the nerdy calculations to you.
The other would be something corny I made up, which I call the “Minimum Chaos Theory.” I suggest that all phenomena within the observed, unobserved and ex-Universe (an area, if any, beyond the unobserved Universe) are required to deviate from a pattern.
This sort of brief statement branches off into a lot of other questions but those are things I’d rather discuss with his team if I get to chance to help with his experiment.
I’d have to say the main reason I want to help him is to be one of those observers to understand the truth of our existence and events throughout our Universe’s history while being able to share it with everyone.
