Timeslip
A time slip is an event when another era or time overlaps the present
Angelus Silesius (6th century philosopher and poet) was quoted as saying
Time is of your own making
It’s clock ticks in your head
The moment you stop thought
Time too stops dead
A small group of scientists do nowadays go against the “Time is a river” theory and believe that all time periods exist simultaneously. We are locked into our time period by the vibration frequency of our body. Therefore a timeslip occurs when the body changes its vibration frequency.
Einstein pointed out that the flow of time
is actually relative to the speed one is travelling i.e. how fast you move effects
time as we speed up time slow down. .
This was once demonstrated by using two atomic clocks. One was kept on the ground,
whilst the other was taken aboard a jet and flown up as high as possible for
several hours. When the ‘flying clock’ was returned to earth it was found to
be slightly slower than the one on the ground, even though neither clock was
running slow or fast. Time itself had slowed down.
Einstein also argued that time was the fourth dimension and the space is curved. Whilst we are aware and can move around the first three (up, down, left, right etc) we are normally trapped by the fourth.
The total mass of the Universe does curve in upon itself and there is a highly complicated mathematical formula to demonstrate this fact. However it is that complicated I am not going to try to explain it. The point is if you send a space ship of in a straight line it would eventually end up back where it began (Just as if you set off around the world in a straight line you would end up where you began)
Space and time are said to be the same thing –therefore if space is curved so is time.
Theories about how they occur
Time slips are accompanied by feelings of depression, eeriness and a marked sense of silence, which is deeper than normally occurs
Black holes
A Black hole is a star, which has burnt up all it fuel. Once there is no more hydrogen for a star to burn up it begins to collapse in upon itself, with its gravitational force increasing as it collapses. This collapse continues, increasing the gravitational pull, until there is virtually nothing left but a small sphere with has an incredible mass. So much so that even light cannot escape the gravity of a black hole. This is why it is known as a black hole –as it reflects no light.
Nobody has yet got close enough to a black hole to find out how time is effected but its assumed time would slow down causing visual and time distortion.
Once we get into the sub atomic level even the order of events can break down. Cause and affect no longer matter. Things can have no causes or happen before the cause took place.
There is a theory that Kerr holes may also exist –these are rotating black holes which could be used for time travel or travel to parallel universes. The theory is a dying star collapses into a rotating ring of neutrons that produces sufficient centrifugal force to prevent the formation of a singularity. Without a singularity Kerr believed it would be safe to enter the black hole without being crushed. He then thought it may be possible to travel through the hole and exit though a white hole that would have the opposite effect of a black hole pushing everything away from it so time travel would be possible.
Wormholes also known as Einstein-Rosen bridges
This is a tunnel like structure which some believes exists. If they exist they would allow time travel and allow us to travel light years away from earth within a short period of time..
Einstein’s theory of relativity is used to explain the theory behind wormholes. That any mass curves spacetime. If masses placed pressure on parts of the universe then a tunnel could eventually form –a wormhole.
