Blog 20231218 Time Travel Nonsense
Sorry,
but the Infinite Universe does not allow traveling back in time.

have illuminated the potential of using simulated models of time travel to
solve complex issues that conventional physics cannot.” (Shavit, 2023) (Photo

Is time travel
actually possible? Scientists make groundbreaking discovery

Thanks
to Marilyn for this heads up:
Astute readers know the Seventh
Assumption of Science, irreversibility (All processes are irreversible)
precludes time travel. Everything in the Infinite Universe is in motion with
respect to other things. The arrangement of stars and galaxies is unique each
night. “Going back in time” for even one day would require one to move each of
them back to where they were the day before.
From
time to time, we get headlines like the above that keeps the old “time travel”
trope alive. Fantasy sells and only shows how little real thinking you have to
do to get funding in theoretical physics. Nonetheless, it makes for a nice
example of a major contradiction that regressive physicists never can resolve.
You
see, they believe (by definition) that light is a massless particle filled with
perfectly empty space that travels perpetually through perfectly empty space at
a velocity of c. The contradiction arises when light goes from a
slow medium to a fast one. For instance, how does a light particle traveling at
225 million m/s in water get instantly accelerated to 300 million m/s in air?
How a Low Velocity Collision Can
Produce a High Velocity Wave
The
truth is that light is not a particle, but a wave in a sea of aether particles.
The velocity of a wave is determined by the medium. That is why:
1.
Light
does not lose velocity over distance like real particles do. (A baseball or a
bullet is a good example.)
2.
Light’s
velocity remains constant as long as the medium remains unchanged.
3.
The
motion of the source producing a light wave contributes no velocity to that
wave.
A
medium consists of trillions of particles having local interparticle velocities
about 50% greater than the velocity of the waves produced in that medium. Sound
waves, for instance, travel through air at 343 m/s, while the interparticle
velocities of nitrogen and oxygen average 515 m/s. Even a tiny collision with
some of those particles can initiate wave motion. For instance, a drummer can
use a drumstick (traveling at a velocity of 2 m/s) to start a sound wave
traveling at 343 m/s. And you can drop a tiny pebble in a calm lake and it will
initiate a wave traveling at 2.8 m/s. All it takes is to produce a collision
with some of those particles already having high-velocity interparticle motion
or vibration within the medium.
Significant “Milestone?”
According
to author Shavit: “The findings, detailed in the study "Time-varying
media, relativity, and the arrow of time," were published in the journal
Optica,
marking a significant milestone in the annals of theoretical physics.”
Yikes!
I don’t think so. In addition to the customary “phontonitis,” here are some of
the other transgressions appearing in the article:
1.
Curved
spacetime (Actually, any evidence for this “Einsteinism” is simply the result
of refraction when light enters a different medium).
2.
Time
dilation (Time is motion and cannot dilate). Einstein’s erroneous substitution
of “l” for “t” in Special Relativity Theory won’t cut it.
3.
Length
contraction (Why not “time contraction,” which is just as bad, but would at
least be consistent?).
4.
Still
using the Second Law of Thermodynamics without its complement, which was
resolved long ago, albeit with the assumption of infinity.[1]
