Russian scientists say time travel may be possible

On the other hand this could cause a black hole and destroy us all.   This sounds pretty damn crazy to me, even though I doubt it will work. 

What do you think?

The experiment is pretty safe as I understand it. Time travel is probably doable, but in the far future. We can slow down time even now.

According to Hawkins' theory it is safe.   We won't know until it is really done, whether it is truly safe or not.

I think the Russians are clever. I heard they invented a secret cloaking device a year or so ago.
I thought time travel was considered theoretical possible since general relativity. No idea if it will ever be do-able.
I would bet not; moreover on this planet I think nuclear annihilation would occur far before even remotely possible.
No idea really though

i think anythings possible. including time travel, are there other dimensions we cant see? didnt they already prove that one?

[Alex179]

There are dimensions that we can't see.

There is a supposedly small risk that this could open a black hole lol.   Theory is that the black hole would dissapate fast enough so that it wouldn't suck in our entire planet from what I remember.

Nothing can be 'proven' in natural science.


We have time travel now, it's just limited.
Funny thing is, though the television commentator
hints about travel backwards I saw nothing
to indicate anything like that in the clip.

Russian scientists believe in all sorts of kooky things like abiogenic petroleum origin

Even if backward time travel is possible, I hope our species never figures it out.  I'd be worried about causality loops.

Other dimensions sound interesting, though.

I'd LOVE them. Paradox is my goal.

Not quite true, mathematics can prove the possibility of it.

Given certain assumptions. I can define a mathematics which
proves more than the possibility, but the necessity. Likewise,
that proves it impossible.

There is only one mathematics.
Define what you like: use it for toilet paper.

Ah, so you must be an applied mathematician.
Which are merely engineers in drag.
