Blog 20181114 Egads! Hawking says time travel possible!
The
passage of the premier propagandist (Stephen Hawking 1942-2018) for the Big
Bang Theory has just been marked by his recent posthumous last words:
His
claim that time travel is possible also makes him only second to Einstein as
the most famous regressive physicist.
As our
readers know, the correct assumption is irreversibility. Here is the brief passage
I wrote starting on page 80 in Infinite
Universe Theory :
Seventh:
Irreversibility
All processes are irreversible.
“Irreversibility deals with the abstraction of motion that we
call time. In its broadest application, universal time is the motion of all
things with respect to all other things. In its narrowest application, specific
time is the motion of one thing with respect to another thing. Again, time is
motion, and therefore does not exist—it occurs. Time is not part of the universe. It is what its
various parts do. Time is
irreversible because each motion of each microcosm in the Infinite Universe is
unique. Folks who still believe that travel into the past might be possible are
either delusional Sci-fi fans or victims of relativity.
One way to view it is this:
1.
It is a fact that the planets, stars, galaxies, etc.
are in motion with respect to each other.
2.
That makes the night sky unique. It is never the same
even two seconds in a row.
3.
“Going back in time” would entail moving those heavenly
bodies back to the positions they had on the night targeted for this fanciful
adventure. Good luck with that.
The opposing assumption, reversibility,
underpins systems philosophy, which tends to overemphasize the
system and neglect the environment. Lab technicians often believe they can
demonstrate reversibility by
providing a semblance of former experimental conditions. When we ignore the
environment, reactions in such systems seem like they are reversible. However,
when the environment is included, then each reaction properly appears unique
and unprecedented. With perfectly empty space being impossible and with the
ubiquity of aether, our inability to produce perfect isolation prevents us from
getting exactly the same result each time we perform an experiment. Even though
the idea of reversible time makes great stories for science fiction, it holds
no relevance in the real world. Prospective time-travelers are destined to be
forever disappointed.”
That is simple, but not so if you fail
to get your assumptions in a row. Looks like regressive physics will be
wallowing in its mess for quite some time…
