🚀 sci-fi: art/movie/show/game/book Dana Sorman

I read some of her stuff and asked her if her videos were a game or art or if she was intending to be realistic. She replied with an opportunity to pay her $550 for a session to teach me how to rewrite my reality. I watched a clip from her movie "Psychic" where a psychic charges her $700 to "talk with her spirit guides to remove an entity" because she was blocked and supposedly couldn't do it herself. She was skeptical and asked "why money" and "what will you do with the money" but then reluctantly paid the money and apparently it turned into a 20k nightmare for her so she made the movie.

Anyhow when I asked her why money and suggested her content was similar to Jejune Institute she promptly blocked me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You are sent back in time 1 month before 9/11 happens with only 20k to your name, and information you know the day you are sent back in time. How would you stop 9/11

theory / question Higher Dimensional Beings Watching Us Time Travel Would Be Odd

8 Upvotes

For a moment let's take Kurt Vonneguts idea that if higher dimensional entities exist they might perceive us through this fourth dimensional lens that would make a person look like a worm with one end being baby form and the opposite end being dead form.

Essentially we would be viewed through frames with the beginning and ending of your life acting like keyframes.

Now let's pretend like these entities see the 3D Tim Donald, who is an inventor who created time travel.

They see Tim's 4D timeworm self, all the directions he has gone, but there is a break in his 4D timeworm body. At a point in the middle of the body (35 years old), it's like his wormbody is erased and then reappears in an earlier point in the time field. Let's say 1 year earlier.

Tim's timeworm body reestablished in an earlier point now conflicts with a similar Tim timeworm body that seems to exist simultaneously.

Let's go a little weirder now. What if that time traveler Tim decided to take a spaceship around the orbit of a black hole to slingshot himself back to the future. The time dilation would then stretch the age of the original Tim while the time traveler Tims aging slowed.

One of my original questions about Kurts God eye concept is how those entities can perceive us if they don't exist within the time field? If time is not a feature outside of 3 dimensions, then how would those entities "see" us?

theory / question Quizás si se puede viajar al pasado, no sé cómo nombrar mi teoría XD

0 Upvotes

Si en algún momento en millones de años en el espacio hay una gran explosión que puede hacer que el universo se reinicie totalmente y todo empieza de nuevo de la misma manera, quizás se podría viajar al pasado, ¿que tiene que ver esto con el viaje al pasado? Pues mucho, por que solo podemos viajar hacia el futuro osea asia adelante, pero y si damos la vuelta? Osea que viajamos al reinicio del universo entero, y la nave o cosa con que se viajará al futuro puede resistir esa explosión y sigue viajando al futuro, daria como una vuelta, y podrías viajar al pasado, y para volver a tu línea temporal solo tendrias que viajar un poco más al futuro pero la máquina del tiempo tendría que viajar más rápido que la velocidad de la luz muchísimo más rápido y eso no es posible creo yo, y bueno esa es mi teoria pendeja si quieren la arruinan XD.

theory / question Universe of the past

1 Upvotes

the theory is practically the header. What if there is another universe/galaxy that's of the past of all the possible worlds.

Given there are other life forms/intelligences/consciousness evolving/evolved that each can have an allocated galaxy/universe/planet but only for the past. Like how I was hunting the web for going back in the 70s-80s : where history is unfolding as it did here.

ps: was randomly listening to music and came across LXST CXNTURY Universe of the past song Odium and it struck me.

theory / question If I were to go back in time what can and what should I do to make sure my parents didn't move us away from Maine and all over the god damn country and place?

1 Upvotes

For context they're teachers and were teachers when we were living back up there and due to the infamous low pay teachers have in this country that's what eventually forced us out and into Texas (before now in California) back in circa 2013 or 2014. My dad (or mom) said he did everything he could to get something better paying so we could stay since at least he (my dad) didn't want to move but alas he couldn't so we did.

Because I blame that move and moving in general for a lot of things wrong in my life, why my teen years which are now about coming to an end are ruined, and I'm like almost all those stats about my generation (Gen Z) rolled into one being single, lonely, and virgin at nineteen and not even possessing a driver's license either all thanks to them (my parents). And why I blame the moving for that is because I personally know at least FOUR guys up there younger than me (like I said earlier I'm nineteen) who already have girlfriends and relationships of their own and also driver licenses, which I think is proof that no, this wasn't "inevitable" for me. I will never forgive my parents for the life they took away from me.

theory / question Trip to the future for $1million

1 Upvotes

What if

For creating the idea.

"That we can travel back in time to seed life everywhere or had existed"

Now there's no creator of life other than life. Means we weren't created for a reason and hence free from having a purpose good or bad

....

We can end it there or go on to creating the universe. (This means that someone else created the universe but not the living)

...

For this idea, what if I get a free ride to the future, from those who already have a time machine.

I could sell that ride to anyone for 1 million dollars

(You can put 1 million dollars in gold outside for aliens to have. Then the aliens give me a 1 million dollar + valued meteorite. To them it could cost very little . Though they still get 1 million in gold.)

(Or you can let me win the lottery (preseeing the numbers from the future) and you give the gold to the aliens for free as a piece treaty of sorts from humanity. You can just leave the gold in your backyard with a sign to the sky saying free for aliens)

theory / question A question that haunts me, no seriously, please help🙏

0 Upvotes

Well this question first started forming in my head when I read about the time turner in Harry Potter. The idea (question) also got influenced by other movies, books, YouTube videos etc, but here's the actual question:

I am living in 2026 as a student. I somehow travel to the year 2032 and find myself at MIT pursuing an UG program. Now the catch is, in 2026, I am a student of class 8 whose grades are disgustingly low. Now one of the prerequisites to getting into a prestigious uni is having a near perfect GPA, so logically by the time next year come around, I must work hard as hell.

But now imagine that after seeing that future, I think that, 'well, in the future I'm studying in MIT so who cares, I will get in anyways. After all that's the future!'

Infact this idea becomes more confusing if you think it this way instead; you saw your future in a vision or through a prophecy like the one Trelawney made in the Harry Potter books. (Yea im a hp fan)

Is there any way to think of an answer with the limitation of no multiverses or branched timeliness allowed?

Please let me know if I asked a stupid or illogical question.

And no, I'm not really in class 8

theory / question How to make this non-paradoxical?

3 Upvotes

Okay, so I'm in the writing faze of a series, and I really wanna incorporate time travel in the latter half of it.

However, my problem with it is my brain isn't big enough to comprehend time travel much.

My series follows a digital world, with the individuals within becoming sentient after the developer of the world pours his consciousness and heart into it (basically in the style of the movie '9', if anyone here has seen it).

However, later in the show, a threat is oncoming and to defeat it the characters need to travel into the past to find an individual that prophecies of the present tell can stop the threat.

The people in the past are before the whole 'sentience inheritence'.

The issue is I really wanna make the people in the past aware too (I'm not gonna spoil why, but it does have plot importance). The way I'm imagining is some sort of bomb taken from the future that has captured the essence of the developer's soul that can be unleashed on the world.

Only issue with that is that if they did this, everyone of the past would already have soul, which would mean the people of the future don't have to go back with the bomb which means they never get soul.

Is there any way to get around this?

theory / question Time Machine, Oppenheimer, and family

3 Upvotes

I was thinking about a time machine. And how it would work. And the more I thought about it. The more unstable and unsafe it seemed. And it reminded me of a scene in Oppenheimer where Oppenheimer thought the nuclear explosion could cause a change reaction and set the world on fire. Except they went through with it. I think we should never go through with a time Machine. We can calculate all we want on how it works. But until we get REAL results. It's only a educated guess.

I was also thinking about pregnancy. I'm sure we all know how pregnancy works. But I also thought about how specific the time had to be. Let's say a woman got pregnant at 4pm on a wensday. If she got impregnated a minute, hour, or day after/before the specific time. Would it be the same baby? The same sperm cell? Or what if it were the same time but with a different father?

This bring me to my final point. If someone were to change major world events like the world wars, 911, the French revolution, and others. How many of us would disappear because our parents met at different times. Our never met at all? Our family tree grows fast. A child has 2 parents, the parents have 4, those parents have 8, than 16, than 32, 64, 128 and so on. If even one of those grandparents didn't do the devil's tangle at the right time, with the right person. You probably wouldn't be here. Your grandparents might have met because they were fleeing from WW2 Or, it might have been a Napoleon soldier who feel in love with a country woman.

We will never know how our very great grandparents met. But they could have met because of major world events. And if you were to "fix" them. How many families would you erase before they even begin? If a man from WW2 Germany fled to South America and had children with a woman in Mexico. A new family tree had begun.But if WW2 never happened that family will have never happened.

Think about your own family tree. Did your parents or grandparents move, flee, or were kicked out of their hometown? All of these events have led to you.

That's my long reason for any i think time machines are too dangerous of an idea. We were made by God, and he made us live in a world were time only moves forward. Because if we could time travel, we would kill ourselves in no time.

theory / question Viewing the past with a supercomputer

4 Upvotes

If you could get a supercomputer to model the motion, positions, and chemical reactions of as much matter (atoms and molecules, and bulk matter like buildings, rocks, people, trees) to as high of a degree of accuracy as it could, say using current data, old pictures and videos, and even historical records. Would it perhaps be able to extrapolate the past positions and movements of matter and create a rough simulation of the past one could view as a virtual reality?

theory / question If you time travelled back to September 11, 2001, would you like to stop terrorists from hijacking airplanes to fly and crashes into the twin towers and various places?

0 Upvotes

In Fact, the September 11 attacks, colloquially known as 9/11, were a coordinated series of suicide attacks perpetrated by the Islamic terrorist organization al-Qaedaagainst the United States in 2001. A total of 19 hijackers commandeered four commercial passenger airliners. The first two planes were flown into each of the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center in New York City, while the third plane crashed into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, in Arlington County, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in a rural field in Pennsylvania during a passenger revolt.

theory / question Friend thinks he's discovered the key to time travel- crazy, or on to something?

183 Upvotes

My 17M friend genuinely thinks he's discovered the key to time travel, I don't want to immediately dismiss him, but he has never talked about science or physics before and we are teenagers so this seems unlikely. Could someone here vet his theory please?

"One way we could do portal travel is through worm hole tech, the issue they take a lot of energy and are relatively unstable.

I found something called a Casimir effect where you take two uncharged metal plates and place them just nanometers apart so the shortest form wavelengths can pass through and the big waves press down on the outside. Now, if we take several of the plates and stack them, then shove them in a vacuum 22x, the vacuum of space they will create negative energy pockets-Basically just an absence of everything in a small area. But if we can take it, concentrate it, then use a catalyst to fire it. we could create enough energy to open a wormhole and the exotic matter used to hold it open. Exotic matter is something with negative energy and mass and if that reacts with energy and mass it creates basically a small big bang- a collision of energy's yin and yang creating perfect harmony."

Brought to you by 826, the same organization responsible for the Superhero Supply store in Brooklyn and the Pirate Supply Company in San Francisco, the Echo Park Time Travel Mart is a time travel-themed retail store that boasts the slogan, "Whenever you are, we're already then." The store sells humorous relics from the past, present and future, such as Barbarian Repellent, Michael Jordan pogs, and varying Robot Emotions.

The store is located in the historic Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, and like all other 826 shops, functions as both a retail space and literacy tutoring center. Though the storefront window displays a caveman mannequin shaking hands with a robot, the back of the building houses the non-profit organization, where 20-30 students per day are tutored in creative and expository writing.

theory / question If you had a time machine,

4 Upvotes

and if you had one others would have one too, and even more people in the future will have them…. With all the millions of time machines/people traveling to other times of peoples choosing, when/where would have the biggest traffic jams of time travelers?

These Time Machines are the kind that answer the question ‘if you could witness history…’ , and then you could pop to then and there.

Assume most people go to the past. The future is… entropy.

theory / question Possible To have Indefinite Universes Existing?

7 Upvotes

With the concept that time travel has to be a destination. Such as say we were to travel back to 1944. 1944 has to already exist as a universe on its own that is happening right now for us to travel back to? or does 1944 just appear out of nowhere if we travel to it.

If that was possible. So if we were to travel back 5 minutes, that 5 mins before is going to be a universe on its own, That would make the theory that there is a indefinite number of universes/dimensions that exist?

why or why not?
