Traversable Acausal Retrograde Domain in Space-time (TARDIS).

Physicists have developed a new mathematical model that shows how time travel is theoretically possible. They used Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity as a springboard for their hypothetical device, which they call a Traversable Acausal Retrograde Domain in Space-time (TARDIS).

BENDING TIME
Even before Einstein theorized that time is relative and flexible, humanity had already been imagining the possibility of time travel. In fact, science fiction is filled with time travelers. Some use metahuman abilities to do so, but most rely on a device generally known as a time machine. Now, two physicists think that it’s time to bring the time machine into the real world — sort of.

“People think of time travel as something as fiction. And we tend to think it’s not possible because we don’t actually do it,” Ben Tippett, a theoretical physicist and mathematician from the University of British Columbia, said in a UBC news release. “But, mathematically, it is possible.”

Essentially, what Tippet and University of Maryland astrophysicist David Tsang developed is a mathematical formula that uses Einstein’s General Relativity theory to prove that time travel is possible, in theory. That is, time travel fitting a layperson’s understanding of the concept as moving “backwards and forwards through time and space, as interpreted by an external observer,” according to the abstract of their paper, which is published in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity.


Oh, and they’re calling it a TARDIS — yes, “Doctor Who” fans, hurray! — which stands for a Traversable Acausal Retrograde Domain in Space-time
.

FEASIBLE BUT NOT POSSIBLE. YET.
“My model of a time machine uses the curved space-time to bend time into a circle for the passengers, not in a straight line,” Tippet explained. “That circle takes us back in time.” Simply put, their model assumes that time could curve around high-mass objects in the same way that physical space does in the universe.

For Tippet and Tsang, a TARDIS is a space-time geometry “bubble” that travels faster than the speed of light. “It is a box which travels ‘forwards’ and then ‘backwards’ in time along a circular path through spacetime,” they wrote in their paper.

Unfortunately, it’s still not possible to construct such a time machine. “While is it mathematically feasible, it is not yet possible to build a space-time machine because we need materials — which we call exotic matter — to bend space-time in these impossible ways, but they have yet to be discovered,” Tippet explained.


Indeed, their work isn’t the first to suggest that time traveling can be done. Various other experiments, including those that rely on photon stimulation, suggest that time travel is feasible. Another theory explores the potential particles of time.

However, some think that a time machine wouldn’t be feasible because time traveling itself isn’t possible. One points to the intimate connection between time and energy as the reason time traveling is improbable. Another suggests that time travel isn’t going to work because there’s no future to travel to yet.

Whatever the case may be, there’s one thing that these researchers all agree on. As Tippet put it, “Studying space-time is both fascinating and problematic.”

Perhaps they have adopted the acronym, but the original TARDIS (Doctor Who TV show ) stands for Time And Relative Dimension In Space.

Would their Time Machine be bigger on the inside?

naturally (its space-time)

you enter at 1pm I enter at 1.30 pm

inbetween 11 billion peeps enter

times makes space as space makes time

there math to this sum place ...lol

ur Doc Who mentioned that in the 1960's lol

**translation** all we need is this special unicorn horn and some magic crystals then this will totally transport us through time...

The Doctor: People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.



And I may have a Tardis Tattoo.....

does it really matter what it is from a non linear viewpoint if we can never see it that way? if we could see all dimensions, the highway would look radically different than it does now, but we can't, so we proceed with what we can perceive.

It does if you have a Tardis and can drive her (The Tardis is a living thing and is a her). Would also help to be a Time Lord id wager. :-D

Naturally times have changed as I have gotten older. You fucking nerds kill me with this science fiction shit. Since when did nerds start gettin high anyway? To me that's far out. You nerds have always said no to drugs. Now you are contemplating fictional, infinite outer space. :clap: This retardis time travel thing is stupid as fuck. Smoke weed everyday for 30 years like i have and you reach shaman level and learn real truth. bongsmilie Time travel GOOD GOD that's the dumbest theory ever. Hollywood, indoctrination and video games have warped reality in the minds of two generations of Americans. No wonder NASA has been fisting taxpayers for 50 years with fake ass photographs and videos. Because yall some dumb mother fuckers.

haha..I have a few "nerd" friends. Ones a Research Scientist and another is high up in IBM, another owns his own small computer hardware research and development company. All three smoke pot and do other drugs. The scientist used to grow very good pot and Mushrooms which he would dose into capsules.

O and they would be around the same age as you and me by the sounds.

I'm too old to remember this shit from school. But isn't time distorted by space? Kind of like pushing a bowl down in a pan of water. The water changes shapes to go around the bowl. Time is pushed around as planets and the like go through it.
