June 24, 1991 TIME1.ASC -------------------------------------------------------------------- The following is brief essay on some thoughts I've had about travelling through time. I would be interested in anyone's comments about the possibility. I may be reached at Steve Sousa 171 Kingston Road Exeter, NH 03833 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Discourse on the likelihood of inventing a "Time Machine" Common in science fiction literature is the concept of an invention that would propel the user forward or backward in time. Though very appealing in print, it would seem to violate at least one law of physics and to necessitate, besides the device to transcend time, a second device that would allow symultaneous movement through space. What I would like to do in this short essay, is describe some of the difficulties time travel presents. The first difficulty I see is one of human recorded history. If we were to assume that at sometime in the future a device to move through time is to be invented, and that it will be used, then why has not history ever recorded the arrival of a time traveller? Given the capability to travel to far off times, what would the time traveller's motive be? To only observe events and people would, in my opinion, be very a aloof thing to do. Given the ability to talk with people of past times, it would be irresistible not to. Why would a time traveller want to travel through time? We all could make lists of people we would like to speak with or of events we would like to see. But, to my knowledge, there is no recorded instance of a traveller appearing who talked of moving through time and left behind knowledge of the future. But this "negative evidence" is not conclusive. There may be physical principles at work which would prevent the traveller from interacting with others. These physical principles would prevent the traveller from ever leaving in the first place. Every upper elementary student, while studying science, has run across the laws of conservation of matter and energy. Each law states that matter or energy cannot be created nor destroyed only Page 1 changed into a different form. Matter is defined as anything that takes up space and has mass. Matter can be thought of as "the stuff" of existence. Matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. There are about 106 known different types of atoms. The stuff that makes up you or me or anything else in the universe is discrete and individual, that is, it cannot be in two places at the same time nor can two different atoms occupy the same space. Now, if time travel were possible, could the following ever happen: The time machine is to be tested with a mouse to ensure it will be safe for human use. The mouse is placed in the device and it is sent five minutes into the future. The machine disappears and five minutes later the machine and mouse appear. So far so good. It is now sent five minutes into the past. Here the first problem appears. Five minutes before you sent the mouse off to the past you did not notice a second mouse appear securely strapped in a second time machine. The researcher did not see the mouse appear before it has left. Even if the mouse did appear, there would be two mice, each composed of the same atoms. Again, the same matter cannot be in two places at the same time. The atoms that make up the time traveller and his machine were continuously recycled through past time. The atoms in my fingers and toes and everywhere in between were used by other organisms in other times or were locked up in the rocks, water, and air of the earth. If I were to travel back in time, my atoms would already be in use somewhere else. How could I exist then at that time? A second problem to be faced with a working time machine is one that involves the addition of movement through space. Matter in the universe takes up space, that is, it has length, width, and depth. These are the three dimensions all matter possess. There is also a fourth dimension. The dimension of time. All matter exists in space and moves through time. You move through space as you go through the day. The earth and the rest of the planets and their moons, moves through space as they circle the sun. The sun moves through space as it moves with the rest of the galaxy around the galactic center and, as you can imagine, the galaxy is moving through the universe. All this movement is happening simultaneously, but we are not aware of it (thank goodness, for those of us who suffer from motion sickness.). The computation of all this relative movement is crucial for the successful rendezvous of satellites with the planets and moons they are to observe. The earth and other planets DO NOT RETURN to the same spaces as they orbit the sun. All matter in the universe, when you compute these Page 1 motions, are SPIRALING THROUGH SPACE. The orbits are not neat ellipses. To get back to our time traveller, as he moves back in time, the earth, sun, and galaxy have all moved relative to each other. The traveller would most probably find himself out in space somewhere rather than watching the signing of the Declaration of Independence or being there for Superbowl I. The time machine would need some way of computing where the earth would be for any date in history and a means of getting there. All this is fun to speculate upon. Though I reckon that time travel is not possible, I'm not 100% certain. I still hold out that at some-time in the future the problems mentioned here will be clarified. Someday there might be a battered old blue police box like Dr. Who's TARDIS, his Time And Relative Dimension in Space machine. The Doctor recognized the difficulties of movement through space and time, but only in story can he transport us to any point in the universe at any point in time. Until then, I can only wait out time and carry myself through space. Wait a minute, what am I doing sitting over there, laughing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Vangard Notes... In regard to the very outdated concept that atoms are "recycled" throughout the Universe, evidence, indeed, rational thought refutes the idea. Matter is converted back into energy and the energy is again converted into mass on a continual basis. As time progresses, ALL THINGS CHANGE, including the morphogenetic fields which organize all matter in its characteristic and uniquely individual form. Keely refers to this process by the analogy of stamping out 1,000 coins from the same press. Each coin will be slightly different due to the infinite possibilities offered by the variations in the consistency of the metal in each coin, slight variations in the pressure of the press for each coin, dents, etc which can further affect the "signature" of each coin. Not to mention the influences of other waves ranging from sound to light to cosmic influences even unto planetary bodies of the system. Indeed, Keely says that simply touching the coin will alter the "signature" of the coin. The entire concept of Sympathy as opposed to Resonance can be equated to "fine tuning" or "coarse tuning". By this definition, Sympathy tunes to the entire "signature" over a wide range of frequencies and phase relationships, while Resonance tunes to the fundamental frequency of the mass without regard for the many subtle harmonics. The magic in the phenomena generated by Keely was due to this understanding which allowed him to build ever more sensitive mechanisms for the analysis and tuning to such complex waveforms. Page 3 Back to Time Travel, Keely states quite matter-of-factly that "TIME IS GRAVITY". He says that the flow of "gravity" into the neutral center of a mass determines the degree of time to which the mass will be affected. Note that the ruling flows will be those of the greatest mass, in other words, the Earth dictates the primary time flow for us with our mass densities presenting the secondary time flows. As to the movement of bodies through space, there is indication that the Aether drift of the Earth would sustain a time travelling body in such a manner that it would not leave the energy domain of the ruling mass in which it resides. Here Aether is seen as the flow of force into the neutral center of all masses which serves to aggregate and sustain the existence of the mass in the physical form. Refer to NEUTRAL1 for a better understanding of one of Keely's greatest discoveries. High intensity magnetic (or other) fields appear capable of altering the flow of Aether into the Neutral centers of mass which therefore alters time to some degree. At this point in time, there is almost no written literature on this subject nor many reports beyond the Philadelphia Experiment which indicate the dangers or possibilities of such an experiment. We have found in the UFO literature some fascinating indications that AGING DOES NOT OCCUR or is greatly attenuated for living organisms immersed in an inertial dampening field which comes with the territory of anti-gravity. Alleged interviews with aliens frequently report a physique indicative of a 20 to 35 year old, yet the being claims to be in excess of 1000 of "our Earth (note this) years". Further questions on this matter directed towards the beings lead to the statement that the aging process is greatly slowed WHILE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE SHIP FIELD and that movement outside this field will subject their bodies to the aging effects of the planetary body in dominion. Look in the UFO secion and the BIOLOGY section for further details, particularly DNAMAST2. We welcome comments on the above subjects as we find definite correlations from many diverse (and to some, fantastic) sources. -------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have comments or other information relating to such topics as this paper covers, please upload to KeelyNet or send to the Vangard Sciences address as listed on the first page.
