Quickly, a brief travel along
time
Introduction
The time machine is, unfortunately. today a invention
in the list of the unpractical things.
Notwithstanding its difficulty to exist, it has been a lot used for scientific
fiction literary and cinema purposes. Often without a theoretical scientific
basis.
A question:
A time machine realization could be a real scientific basis?
Yes! If you take a look to the last
(and penultimate) discoveries and postulations of the Theoretical Physics,
it seems is more correct to demonstrate the NOT validity of a theory than
its possible validity. The fact is that we need to retain all is possible,
except to demonstrate the contrary. Naturally this is a big exaggeration,
but if you read some article or book about Quantum Phisycs or Relativity
Theory, you note that facts as:
Read something about the gravity
wave.
I counsel a Stephen Hawking's book, a very famous physics' "mind"
today:
"A brief history of time". This book simply explain (is
sufficient the physics school and there are not formulas) the new theories
of the macroscopic and microscopic universe until the GTU theory that is
to say "Everything Theory" or the "Superstring
Theory". Today, for the average researcher is not easy to formulate
theories because it's difficult demonstrate their validity. Hawking himself
affirms that only the researchers that are part of scientists equipe could
verify the results of his experiments, because the modern experiments are
possible in the laboratories containing expensive apparatus only. Nearly
it is true for famaous scientists also because the theories are made without
difficulty, instead the verify of this theories have a very high costs.
And such costs are very high for government corporation also.
But to simulate it is a wonder
game always.
For this I have made this applet written with Java. It simulates a time-travel
in the future and shows the consequences about space and mass of the voyeger.
Crossing the time
Hawking retain a time-travel ,
theoretically possible notwithstanding, is impossible surely for
a definite reason: if time travels are possible for the future men then
we could have visits from them!
But I don't think this. The reasons could be two:
I understand I haven't made a good explain, but I repeat: you have to read "The dinamic time").
Applet tools
This applet simulates a relativistic voyage and
the observation of the consequential results.
In the applet window are shown two big displays. The cyan one shows the
time on the spaceship and the yellow display shows the time on Earth.
Therefore, to be simple, the time on spaceship will be equal to
current time, equal to time on your watch or equal to time of the
computer system you are using now.
The yellow display is equiped with another little yellow display showing
the day date on Earth advancing (when your speed is near light speed)
very quickly. Hours and minutes will pass sudden, instead the display
on the spaceship advances its time some seconds only.
Another display shows the Km
x 1000 covered while another display shows a standard 70 Kg mass
to enlarge when speed is increased.
Fisrt graphic window shows the space contraction.
The spaceship motion verse is at 0°. The -90° e 90°,
that were the right and the left sides, have a increasing tendency to
0° at the motion verse.
The space contraction is one of the easy and better result of the Relativity
Theory to obtain because, at low speed also, the space contraction obtained
is sufficiently observable.
For example, the sky visible at 30° will be visible at 10°12’ running
at 0.8c (c = light speed), instead, and this is incredible, that
is visible at 120° (practically behind) is visible at 60°.(forward).
Last affirmation is true because now you aren't in the space, now you
are in the hyperspace.
More high is speed and more the previous space become a little point in
front of us replacing it the hyperspace.
This type view is shown in the second window:
This window shows you are running along a imaginary road with green
piles at sideways. This road is very long (Earth-Sun radius), while
another series of cyan piles surround the orbit of the EartH revolution
plane.
The important fact is not the motion view, that is not implement
because the distance between piles is supposed to be million of kilometers,
but it is the light originating from piles that fills the entire
space view.
When the speed is near 0.3c you could note the folding of piles
versus the motion verse and some piles that observer on Earth without
motion see in a backward position respect us, to be in a forward
position, like they are far yet.
Crossing hyperspace is the same
to fly
A ancient man lived some centuries ago retained
Earth like a infinite platform. The main part of his world was retained
two-dimensional. Rarely, for the mountains and hills, the third dmension
influenced his such world's conception. Similarly we, today, consider the
space a "three.dimensional platform" where the fourth
dimension is for the main part constant (the time flowing constant) and
no influential.
When man, at first time into space travel, noted his world become little
if the distance from it is sufficiently long (perspective view), he understood
that the altitude or the third dimension could influence very much his
previous world's vision. So, running at relativistic speed, the universe
surrounding us, become little until a point, and the new vision
of universe become different of the usual conception
Scientific based software
This program is scientific based on relativistic
formulas and every display or graphic window shows its result like the
natural result of these formulas application. The exception is only the
acceleration that is not retained a cause of a no inertial system, but
only a series of continuous selections of "constant velocities".
This is a forced problem because if you want really simulate the real acceleration
allowed to a human being you have to remain at computer for a long time!
(centuries).
If v si the relativistic velocity and c is the light speed, formulas are:
