Is time travel Impossible Because time Doesn't Exist?
#43
RE: Is time travel Impossible Because time Doesn't Exist?
Consider two clocks, one close to a gravity source and the other further away. At first they are perfectly synchronised, but the gravitational effects will cause time as experienced by clock A to run more slowly, relative to B. The stronger the gravity, the more pronounced the effect. Eventually both clocks will be registering different readings, while experiencing their own time frame perfectly normally. This isn't just some idle speculation; it's been confirmed experimentally.

If time doesn't exist, there'd be no difference between the two clocks.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
