MERGED: Is time travel possible?

cguro... naa..

so mobalik ta pagka bata?

granting you travel faster than the earth rotates itself..

You're forgetting (or maybe you don't know of) the fact that the earth revolves only at a modest speed of about 1,674.4 km/h. Some military jets (and some civilian ones) travel at a faster speed than that, so your point fails miserably.

yeah, you miss my point.. supposing this is possible, why aren't people already traveling back in time using this method?

What point am I missing here? You stated in your previous post that "granting you travel faster than the earth rotates itself", a statement which seems to propose that, if indeed you travel FASTER than the speed of the rotation of the earth then something SHOULD occur, which in this case, we all know nothing does occur. Because if something did occur during these moments, then some military and civilian jets travelling at speeds faster than 1,700 kmh should have experienced something extraordinary, but since this event happens at an almost daily basis, then why aren't there reports of people being able to travel back or forth through time using this method? Because, there is NOTHING SPECIAL about the speed of the rotation of the earth--like I said earlier, it's so slow to ever contribute to anything significant in the argument.

There was an experiment were they placed cesium clocks on at least two planes flying towards the east and west. It was discovered that time inside the plane flying towards the east was ~332 billionths of a second slower relative to the plane traveling towards the west.

are you still missing my point..

yup it was an experiment to prove time dilation..

similar to this:

I simply wanted to point out and stress (for the benefit of those who just jumped into the discussion) that, under no circumstances could the orientation and speed of the rotation of the earth can cause "time travel" or affect any law of physics that can allow for "time travel". I admit that I may have misunderstood some of the earlier points (probably in most part, due to the way the statements were expressed) of the original statements, but my intent and purpose remains sound.

next time, keep your posts impersonal.. kay magsugod na gani ka ug tira2x dire.. aww.. kataw-an ra jud tikaw..

Well the only reason why you shot off the first time around was because you felt nga gi tira nako ikaw I personally felt nga wala man ko "nag-tira" ug bisan kinsa, and was merely trying to straighten/clarify a point, for the benefit of avoiding further posts that deal with the rotation of the earth or the speed of the rotation of the earth and its significance to time travel. If you still believe this is the case then I can't do anything about it.
