I found this to be an interesting read from the Straight Dope.

Thanks guys. The more I write into this book (not writing the actual book, writing the layout for it) the more complex it gets. I keep thinking of better ways to do this book, and my story keeps changing in the process. It's all good changes though. This is the most I've ever been into something. Sure I've got bunch of ideas for movies and such, but this is the first time I've decided to take the next step. I'm aiming for teen readers, but it will be a book all ages to read. It may be too scary for 10-15 year olds though. We'll see I guess. I'm excited. Thanks a bunch guys.

ok heres one of the things ive learned so far."First, take travel to the future. If effect, you are slowing down relative to the outside world. Relative to you, however, the outside world goes faster and faster, with photons getting blue shifted. You are limited to how fast you can go, because if you move into the future too fast, you will be fried, either thermally or by ionizing radiation. (Also, you will experience an apparent weight that is proportional to your speed relative to the present.) With travel to the past, the opposite situation arises. Photons impinging upon your machine and upon you have negative energy (effectively), so that the machine gets colder and colder. (Like in “Back to the Future”). To travel any distance back is a real problem, unless you carry along a fusion heater to keep warm." still looking tho |

well, i do know that if you happen to travel faster than the speed of light, you can turn around and see yourself coming.

I'm not sure about the cold thing, but I saw a documentary one time where things that happened were actually undone. To acheive this, the Earth must rotate opposite of what it does now. You might think this would cause chaos and tidal issues but it doesn't. The preferred method of acheiving the backward rotation is to just fly around the Earth many times really really fast.

I'm looking for an article that talks mainly of what happens if time were to stop. I remember reading something, I thought it was the Straight Dope, that when time stops, things get super cold over time. Or something. It doesn't necessarily have to be time stopping, but can be a person moving extremely fast where it seems to the person that time has stopped. I need to something that tells me, theoretically, what happens if this person were to interact with something that has "stopped". I'm writing a book, and if it gets published, I'll thank you guys in the foreward or something. |
