Until the end of time. So to speak.

Two words:
 E = h \nu = \hbar \omega\,
Quantum Physics.

Yum.

 - \frac {\hbar ^2}{2m} \frac {d ^2 \psi}{dx^2} = E \psi.
Apparently, that is the most basic calculation.

This is a fun topic. I've trying to go back to one of the most enjoyable books I've read, Timeline, by my all-time favourite author Michael Chrichton. Rest in peace, my friend.

Anyway, if any of you saw the movie. Just remember it doesn't do the book justice. It's not a bad movie, but, the book was amazing.

M.C. has a good habit of gathering factual research and journals and putting them in to his novels. reading his novels, I learned so much about DNA, quantum physics, space-time, psychology, animals and so on.

So, the idea of quantum physics inducing time travel is not impossible. Instead, the references given in the novel make it seem entirely plausible. Faxing a person through time is the general idea.

In essence the 'device' will break you down to a molecular level and perhaps even to sub-molecular levels. Once you're in that form, you will be 'faxed' to your preferred time travel destination. How the research team stumbled upon this discovery was through their intention of 'faxing' objects instead of copying sheets of paper for print. They wanted to fax containers. The problem was, in the tests they did, their object would disappear for hours and never appear on the other side of the device. Instead, it would reappear eventually in the same position it was 'faxed' from.

So, they repeated the process with a camera. When the camera came back they got footage of trees and a lush green forest. So, they aimed the camera up. It came back with images of the night sky. They traced the stars and mapped their positions over the course of history and realised their 'fax machine' was temporarily faxing things to the past. Around 1300 A.D. if I remember correctly.

However, time travel is not really what was going on. In Michael Chrichton's theory, it was a series of multiverses.

That's right, multiverses.

Instead of having you go back in time, you go in to a different universe where time is moving slower. Yet, somehow, it still is on our current time line. So, even though it's a different universe, it can still affect ours. So, if I were to go back in time, and say, slay Hitler before he was born, I could have either changed history, or history would have continued with simply a different name on the face of Nazi-ism. Either way, I'd effect our current time.

This shit is just fun to talk about, make me feel smart and shit.

So, do enjoy these little trinkets. They can be entirely factual or as fictional as you see. I, personally, would like to think that it's possible, but, even God hasn't ordained it, then it ain't gonna work.

But, still. It's fun to look in to this shit. Oh, and do read Timeline and Sphere by Michael Chrichton. It's good stuff. Especially the latter. Superb.

Doctor Gill says take 17 ambutols, 13 ACMPD3N7 inhales and grow the fuck up.

ACMPD3N7 -Family of genes controlling aminocarboxmuconate paraldehyde decarbolase.

ACMPD3N7 modifies responses of the amygdala and cingulate gyrus in th ebrain; potentiall link to neurodegenerative disease, thought that neurodegenerative disease were a result of disruptions to the maturational pathways in the brain.

Basically, it makes you mature.
