The Time Machine is under construction. You are seeing the very beginning of The Time Machine Project and as time goes on you and everyone entering this site will begin a new journey on a different time line. We will delve into the subject of time travel, whether it be fact or fiction, scientific theories, late breaking discoveries that may be relevant to the subject and the future ramifications of time travel (ie: how it will effect us) We also have some hot links to films, books and other web sites that cover this subject.

Jest if you want but Einsteins theory of relativity and mathematics don't lie. The formula v=d/t is tough to ignore and all the implications of Einsteins theory make this tiny little mathematical formula a ticking time bomb.

Special Relativity,
another assumption on the laws of physics made by the SI definition of the metre is that the theory of relativity is correct. It is a basic postulate of the theory of relativity that the speed of light is constant. This can be broken down into two parts:
The speed of light is independent of the motion of the observer.
The speed of light does not vary with time or place.
To state that the speed of light is independent of the velocity of the observer is very
counterintuitive. Some people even refuse to accept this as a logically consistent
possibility but in 1905 Einstein was able to show that it is perfectly consistent if you are
prepared to give up assumptions about the absolute nature of space and time. I suggest that you check out NOVA'S pbs web site as Carl Sagan
has some very interesting comments on this very topic and you
may gain some very deep insights into the subject.

Communication faster than
Light

| An experiment at the University of Cologne is
putting accepted scientific knowledge to the test. according
to accepted teaching signals cannot be transmitted faster than
light. Some even believe that Einstein's Theory of Relativity
could be broken if light moved faster. At the University of
Cologne physicists have begun to shake up this theory. The
spectacular experiment took place in a laboratory of the
second Institute of Physics.
Prof. Dr. Nimtz and
Mozart's 40th symphony are our main protagonists in this
experiment. At first the music is put piggyback onto a carrier
wave, in this case a carrier wave of ten gigahertz. The
carrier wave travels over a cable into a tunneling antenna
then a little through the air and into the reception antenna.
It follows another short thin tunnel where the signal should
stop. According to the laws of physics the microwave does not
fit through the tunnel, it ought to be reflected back. Despite
this the signal mysteriously slips through the tunnel. And in
doing this moves faster than is possible by our present
understanding of physics. See his publications on this and
other subjects: LINK-1

The
Nimtz Experiment is based on one of those bizarre tunneling
effects by which quantum physics keeps confounding our every
day experiences. If you kick a soccer ball against a wall it
bounces back. But a wave packet can reappear behind the wall.
It will be weaker but faster than before. This can't be
explained but it is a measurable effect. Information can also
be transmitted like this. Prof Dr. Nimtz explains it thus: We
have sent such a signaling impulse through a test range and
measured: What is its speed in comparison to the speed through
the air? The speed we measured is 2.46 times the speed of
light. The type of signals are the same as in use in mobile
communications devices or which are used for data transfer
between computers. It also works for the transmission of more
complex information like a whole symphony.
What these
experiments have shown is that you can in principle look into
the past. And it is also possible to reverse cause and
effect", says Prof Dr. Nimtz and explains: According to the
theory of relativity a second observer in another inertial
system (frame of reference) can see my signal exit the target
before it was emitted by the source. This means you can look
into the past because you are moving faster than light, which
is the speed at which the effect is moving, the event. Guenter
Nimtz is not claiming to have refuted Einstein. Other
physicists have repeated his tunneling experiments and
confirmed that the experiment works. The layman may believe
this or not: "Faster than Light" has become a hot topic in
physics. Translated from German by E. Habich.
