Is Science Closer To Time Travel?

Scientists at a massive underground facility in Europe announced that they had recorded particles traveling faster than the speed of light, a feat long thought to be impossible.

The news comes from the CERN facility underneath the border of Switzerland and France, which houses the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a giant mechanism for colliding particles at massive speeds. (Have you seen Angels and Demons? Some early scenes are set at the LHC.) Researchers announced that they had recorded particles traveling 60 billionths of a second faster than light.

Even this tiny fraction could completely revolutionize physics and our understanding of our world. Albert Einstein and his “special theory of relativity” said that absolutely nothing could go any faster than light (about 186,000 miles per second), making it essentially the speed limit of the universe. And for over a hundred years, no one has proved this wrong.

Now, researchers will spend years trying to figure out if their findings were a mistake. With measurements so tiny and yet so important, the scientists had to take into account everything from the movement of the Earth in the nanoseconds of the experiments to vibrations caused by automobile traffic in nearby tunnels.

What does this mean for the average person? Probably nothing…unless these experiments rip apart the fabric of the universe.

I’m kidding. But the LHC did make a lot of people nervous when it was first being built. Since the LHC can attempt things never before possible, no one knew exactly what would happen—and some thought the experiments, especially the particle speeds and collisions, could literally destroy the universe. But the collider has been operating for years now, and we’re still here.

Scientists played down the sci-fi implications of this latest discovery, but physicists and fantasy lovers alike have long wondered if faster-than-light travel could produce time travel (or at least spaceships that explore the galaxy). Einstein’s calculations at the turn of the 19th century helped produce almost everything in our modern world, from GPS to the nuclear bomb, and revisions to his ideas could be just as revolutionary. While many scientists think last week’s findings will be proven wrong, almost everyone hopes they’re right.

    Basically all it’s saying is that Einsten was again correct. If the differences are so small they can’t even be sure they are right, that only points out they are pointing out the cosmic speed limit to a few more decimal places.

    “and revisions to his ideas could be just as revolutionary”, and more than likely they will not. Instead, what is happening is that every year, some new physicist wants to draw attention to themselves to look like a big shot. I don’t remember the exact even, but nearly every year for the last few years there’s been someone trying to say Einstein was wrong. So far he has not been wrong.

    If Einstein is wrong, you’d expect some significant new speed limit to the universe. Instead, they can’t even get it over a millionth of a m.p.h. It’s like someone saying the top achievable speed of a land car is 391 mph. And then some one says, “Oh, no it’s not. I’ve discovered a new top speed limit for land cars. It’s 391.0000000001 mph! There take that!”. Whoopie do.

    “Einstein’s calculations at the turn of the 19th century” should be 20th century.

    Nikola Tesla, Novice

    Nikola Tesla caused more than 27 days of world record uplift earthquakes in Alaska commencing on September 3, 1899. These events commencing in nature on such a precise start is so highly unlikely that it’s uniqueness can be mathematically proven unnatural. Tesla’s signature with timing on an earthquake which historically are seen only as an act God or nature, was signing as his the biggest footprint man had ever made left while also embarresed billions of minds needing more than a century to notice. Early pioneers in the field of seismology were led by his peer, friend and inventor of the seismograph John “Earthquake” Milne who at The Isle of Wight was by far at the forefront of knowledge on earthquakes. John Milne assigned every world shaking earthquake disturbance with a consecutive “Shide” number for consecutive designation record numbers British Association For The Advancement of Sciences was the foremost authority worldwide in noticing, tracking & understanding earthquakes.
    Nikola Tesla sought out John Milne’s approaching number and nailed that Shide No. 333 on September 3 at 3:03 pm epicenter time knowing a mathematical signature would be artistic perfection one day realized when Shide numbers were buried. 3:03:27 pm or 3h03m27s or Room #3327 at The Hotel New Yorker that Nikola Tesla had to spend ten straight years everyday making sure death would engrave the greatest accomplishment man had made forgotten by mankind man made earthquakes.
    He hinted… Tesla did things in threes in public acting obsessed with the number 3. For example, it was not uncommon to see him walk around a block 3 times before entering a building. He was adamant about staying in a hotel room with a number divisible by three in front of reporters. Room #3327 because the Knob Hill Apparatus in Colorado Springs caused the 1899 Alaskan Earthquakes commencing on September 3, 1899 at 3h03m27s or 3:03:27 pm epicenter time. That was a year divisible by 3 times 3, a month divisible by 3 times 3, a day divisible by 3, an hour divisible by 3, a minute divisible by 3, a second divisible by 3 times 3 times 3 and for Christ’s sake it was Earthquake Milne Shide No. 333… and it lasted 3 times 3 times 3 days. duh

    DO THE MATH…

    The chances that any earthquake occuring in nature begins in a year divisible by 3 is 1 chance in 3.

    The chances that any earthquake occuring in nature begins in a year divisible by 3 times 3 is 1 chance in 9.

    The chances that any earthquake occuring in nature begins in a year divisible by 3 times 3 in a month divisible by 3 is 1 chance in 27.

    The chances that any earthquake occuring in nature begins in a year divisible by 3 times 3 in a month divisible by 3 times 3 is 1 chance in 81.

    The chances that any earthquake occuring in nature begins in a year divisible by 3 times 3 in a month divisible by 3 times 3 on a day divisible by 3 is 1 chance in 243.

    The chances that any earthquake occuring in nature begins in a year divisible by 3 times 3 in a month divisible by 3 times 3 on a day divisible by 3 IN AN HOUR DIVISIBLE BY 3 is 1 chance in 729.

    The chances that any earthquake occuring in nature begins in a year divisible by 3 times 3 in a month divisible by 3 times 3 on a day divisible by 3 IN AN HOUR DIVISIBLE BY 3 IN A MINUTE DIVISIBLE BY 3 is 1 chance in 2187.

    The chances that any earthquake occuring in nature begins in a year divisible by 3 times 3 in a month divisible by 3 times 3 on a day divisible by 3 IN AN HOUR DIVISIBLE BY 3 IN A MINUTE DIVISIBLE BY 3 ON A SECOND DIVISIBLE BY 3 is 1 chance in 6561.

    The chances that any earthquake occuring in nature begins in a year divisible by 3 times 3 in a month divisible by 3 times 3 on a day divisible by 3 IN AN HOUR DIVISIBLE BY 3 IN A MINUTE DIVISIBLE BY 3 ON A SECOND DIVISIBLE BY 3 TIMES 3 is 1 chance in 19,683.

    The chances that any earthquake occuring in nature begins in a year divisible by 3 times 3 in a month divisible by 3 times 3 on a day divisible by 3 IN AN HOUR DIVISIBLE BY 3 IN A MINUTE DIVISIBLE BY 3 ON A SECOND DIVISIBLE BY 3 TIMES 3 TIMES 3 is 1 chance in 59,049.

    NOW YOU MAY SAY THERE HAVE LIKELY BEEN THAT MANY WORLD SHAKING EARTHQUAKES SO these 1 in 59,049 odds that it occured naturally without being caused by man at that intended specific moment is not actually astronomical or impossible… but when you see that it recorded THE WORLD RECORD LARGEST UPLIFT IN THE HISTORY OF PLANET EARTH A WORLD 47FT AT SEA LEVEL YOU HAVE TO MULTIPLY 59,049 TIMES 59,049 BRINGING ODDS IT WAS NATURAL TO 1 IN 3,486,784,013

    … and for Christ’s sake it was Earthquake Milne Shide No. 333 and lasted 3 times 3 times 3 days. This is from the USGS regarding the 1899 earthquakes at Yakutat Bay, Alaska. They lasted 27 days. September 3 to 29, 1899 and included four or five world-shaking disturbances
    and hundreds of minor shocks. During four weeks there was almost constant palpitation of this part of
    the earth’s crust. The shocks were most severe on September 3, 10, and 23, and were great on the
    15th, 17th, 26th, and 29th. On the 10th there were over 50 small shocks and two world-shaking
    disturbances. The greatest faulting took place on September 10. The greatest uplift that had ever been
    recorded in the history of the world took place on September 10, 1899.
