Man has had a fascination with the idea of time travel...
For at least decades, curious minds have pondered the possibility of traveling back and forth on the timeline, into the past and future - leaking such curiosity into works of science fiction and debates on what moral and ethical considerations such potentials might present.
A question that has plagued such minds: what would a time-travel machine look like?
Hollywood gave a shot at the answer in the 80’s with the presentation of a DeLorean tweaked out my mad scientist, Doc Brown, in the hit classic, Back To The Future. However, here is posed a possible alternative answer for contemplation...
What might a time machine look like?
Take a look in the mirror.
Truth be told, we are * already* time travelers.
From the point of our conception and birth through to death, we are progressing on a timeline - continually advancing into the future, as far as the vehicles of our physical bodies can carry us.
Granted, this perspective may not be as exciting or sexy as the prospects of what comes to mind when one might think of “time travel.” Nonetheless, it is one which does have a certain amount of truth to it.
Though so as to not disappoint with such a basic concept after the work-up of the intro, let’s keep going further...
Consider some fundamental principles of quantum physics. Such as the perspective, time is an illusion - a mere one dimension through which information is extracted out through to experience.
(Pardon the lack of references to “professional” citations and theories which might articulate these principles better than I do here).
Some have said, that time is merely a product of perceptive capabilities - that meanwhile, all that ever happened and all that ever will exists simultaneously. (Perhaps compressed into a singularity, from which the extraction process undertaken through our genetic vehicles generates the experience of a progressive timeline).
Alternatively, consider the concept of the “holographic universe.” That everything observed emerges out of a unified field - similar to the ancient notion of an “Akashic Records,” wherein all information about everything - past, present, and future - is stored/encoded.
If this were the case... the notion that a “machine” would be needed to “travel” back or forward in time may be flawed.
If this were the case... the whole concept of “travel” in context might be flawed, as it’s not any distance to be traveled - but perhaps more a shift in vibrational dimension to a ‘different frequency’ within that same singularity we’re sitting in the midst of right here, right now.
If all of history were encapsulated within the atomic consciousness of a singularity - (pardon the loose linguistics) - experiencing the past in full-vividness as though we were there might not require any sort of external apparatus - but rather, **the activation of our own abilities & capabilities lying dormant in our genetics and body to “tune into” a broader spectrum of memory already present.
Just as a computer hard drive might contain data encoding audio and video captured from around the globe at different points on the timeline - from which the operator may consciously choose which to bring up on the screen - so too, might all information pre-exist on a sort of universal quantum drive. (Which may, in a sense, be the genetic code itself). Perhaps it is this system of information storage into which some considered to have “extra-sensory perception” such as clairvoyance, clairaudience, remote viewing, past-life reading, etc may have been “tapping into” and receiving their information from.
Could we theoretically take our physical bodies with us into the past or future? Maybe. Maybe not. Though either way, the possibility of “time travel” closer in reach might be more simply the projection of consciousness forward/back on a timeline - or viewed slightly differently than a “projection,” perhaps an conscious immersion into memory at a different point on the timeline - or, an extraction of memory corresponding to a different point, although it may ultimately all be compressed into the same quantum singularity.
The experience of “this world,” right “here,” in this time point of “now,” we are creating.
Our brains, bodies, and genetic system are working to translate the vibration input received through our senses into this experience - a sort of holographic projector, the engine of a sort of simulated construct we’ve called “reality.”
Likewise, the worlds explores during sleep time in lucid dreams may too be but a construction of fragmented memories. Or a psychedelic “trip,” merely another reality-construct of frequency spectrums accessed through senses and states activated through certain chemical stimuli.
If all that ever is, was, and will be exists within a quantum singularity - the key to time travel, then, might not be attempting any sort of physical relocation, but unlocking the sensory capabilities to deliberately refine one’s focus into specific ‘partitions of the quantum hard drive’ and transmute the info within into a lucid experience, as though without distinction of when the memory was first encoded into the singularity.
Or rephrased differently... we might be the time machine itself.
Our genetic vehicles, the means through which our consciousness may translate pure information into experience - whether that bundle of information may be input through the senses in real-time, an amalgation of fragmented memory as in the case of a dream, or perhaps even a bundle “from the past/future.”
The expanding limits of our sensory capacities, perhaps the actual barrier between our experience of the now, and the experience of different points on the timeline *as though they were the now.

Food for thought.
And, these thoughts might still be decades ahead of their time.
Nonetheless... it might be worth consideration: while many have been fixated on the prospect of developing external technologies to achieve unprecedented feats, such as “time travel,” what possibilities exist within the domain of deepening our understanding of and furthering the development of one of the most overlooked, profound technologies of all - ourselves, and the yet-to-be-activated potentials of the human brain-body-genetic system...?
Interesting - the concept is sort of exemplified well in the Netflix show, The Magicians, season 1, episode 9...
They’re in a house, though watching events of the past looping - as though present in that timeline, though unable to interfere.
(NOTE: the show may not be available to watch on Netflix in countries other than the U.S. - however, it may be accessible if using a VPN with an American IP address).
Wow i will love to take a look at this Show @rok-sivante
Time travel paradoxes are scientifically IMPOSSIBLE. They would violate the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics which states that you only get one outcome per event. Going back in time would violate that.
The fact that there appears to be nothing in physics to prevent backward in time travel, the apparent solution is the Everett/Wheeler hypothesis that allows for parallel universes.
If you're a B theorist, where past, present and future all exist simultaneously and everything always happens the way it did happen, is happening, and will happen, then yes. The paradox would not have happened in the first place and thus cannot occur because it never happened.
If you're an A theorist, where only the present truly exists, then no. However, true A theory doesn't seem to allow for travel into the past, which is what most people associate with paradoxes in time travel (since the past no longer exists).
Of course, there are many people whose beliefs in time fall somewhere in the middle; therefore, the paradox prediction would have to be adjusted accordingly.
Physical bodies are nothing more a projection in our consciousness like sound and light. Technically they have nothing to do with time travel, which in turn is not time travel as you have said but removing the barriers to other frequencies that represent time. I actually have no answer but more questions like, Is it available to readjust to another frequencies?, If yes what do we need to compromise in order to readjust to them?, Is it un-doable if we regret doing?
According to string theory, changing frequency would just change the body completely. As for time travel in general, there is no such thing as the past or the future. Now, according to the math, time can travel forward as well as back wards, but both the future and the past are destroyed due to wave function collapse. This is why all we have is now.
nicely summarized and stated from another simpler, clear perspective...
Thanks @rok-sivante.
Scientists eager to avoid the paradoxes presented by time travel have come up with a number of ingenious ways in which to present a more consistent version of reality, some of which have been touched upon here, including:
The Solution: time travel is impossible because of the very paradox it creates.
Self-healing hypothesis: successfully altering events in the past will set off another set of events which will cause the present to remain the same.
The Multiverse hypothesis: an alternate parallel universe or timeline is created each time an event is altered in the past.
Erased timeline hypothesis: a person travelling to the past would exist in the new timeline, but have their own timeline erased.
** The deeper you dive to understand Time travel, the more you will be MIND BLOWN. **
Thank you for the insights.
This is right in my alley.
I always took way too much time thinking about stuff like this... I'ma guy who loves to think about the universe, time and the concept of how it is even possible to exist.
I think about colors not existing, because they're reflections of different wavelenghts and so objects have no color. I think about the sensation of cold being the heat leaving our body and that even ice cubes arent cold they simply have minimal heat.
I think about how is it possible that nothing exists or something exists... I think about time like you do, and I think about 90% of our bodies being vacant spaces between the particles that create us.
I think about we never touching an object, and that the feeling we have from the object is just its magnetic field repelling ours, as nothing is truly solid.
So much stuff...
yeah, I do suffer a bit from anxiety.
Sigh...
Yes indeed, the NOW word is the key, if you do not make an effort to create something in the present, the future will be the same or worse. People forget to live in the moment, to enjoy the benefits of this world, they search for ways to get more faster in the future, and when they get there , they realise they forget something to do in the past...and in the past you can`t return...We are a time machine indeed, we have the present and the future, and time flies really quick...Enjoy the time in the present to create past moments. Liked your post!
I think there is always an interesting writing that inspires every reader, I am a lot of ideas and ideas that are still hidden in you. Perhaps this is an important lesson for our newly-developed Steemit. Thank you brother @rok-sivante
Time travel remain one of the most interesting subject in the science world. It is a mind-boggling question or subject trying to figure out how achieving a feat like time travel. It is very relative and it depend on the context you are looking at it from. Although scientist like Albert Einstein have theory of general relativity in some way talk about it with respect to gravity being able to bend time and all of the dimensions to it yet several other scientist think it is far from possibility. Always Look forward to seeing every new post from your blog. Great post!
You remind me back to school. I get some lessons from the subject of physics, and I think that physics is the study of matter and its interaction. Many physical concepts can explain the phenomena in nature. One is the application of the concept of impulse and momentum. Impulses are forces that act on objects in a relatively short time, while momentum is a measure of the difficulty to stop (silence) objects. Impulses are influenced by forces acting on an object within a certain time interval whereas momentum is influenced by the mass of the object and the velocity of the object. Thanks for sharing master @rok-sivante
Good Job...
I LOVED reading this! Thank you for sharing your thoughts @rok-sivante! The way you discussed time and sleep was fantastic! As a hypnotherapist I have done quite a bit research on sleep, the subconscious, it's communication and its relation to time space and genetic orientation. What a marvelous ocean of possibility to dive into! CHEERS!
After seven days I found it impossible to edit my post. They are inevitably locked in a blockchain.
I totally agree with where you are going with this idea @rok-sivante. There is already part of the future and past right here. I see it in the granite quarries exposing the faces of layers of rock. There I the quarries in Illinois far from the Sea I found fossils of creatures who could only live in the sea.
Honestly you must have taken hours to put this together and I don't think your gonna get that time back. Sorry to see so much spam in the comments.
mmm, actually this one came together in probably about an hour. though, the idea has been cultivating for months.
no worries about the spam. I take a pretty hard stance on it and typically reply with links to posts I've written explaining it, with a full upvote - so they end up getting turned into both lessons for the offenders & onlookers, and more SBD in my wallet. lol. :-)
I really like talking about Time, because time is very important for this life. Thanks alot @rok-sivante
@rok-sivante, there are some technical terms that I encounter during the course of reading this post that I last saw in high school.
Time travel is a productive concept supported by Einstein's concept of relativity.
Thanks for sharing 💯
A time machine in my pursuit would be something from another world because nothing was as it is now is to say everything would try to be perfect, but I'm sure that with the avanece of the tecgnologia that there is every day could get a machine like that, wow I do not know if it would be incredible to see that or not!
though then again... if you showed someone from 500 years ago all the technology we have today, they'd probably think it was from "another world..." ;-)
in my opinion the time machine was never there ...
logically if we can use the time machine and go back to the past we can not fix the mistakes we've made ... is not that unfair ...
I appreciate your post ..
can open my knowledge :)
@rok-sivante
If we go back to the past with the time machine, then our past errors will be corrected with ease and that will dealt a blow on why the world was created. But who knows is still vice versa
the concept as described above is a different outlook - not so much that we could go back to change anything, but rather to experience what was - perhaps either as an overarching observer, or through the bodies of others in that time period...
I was cracking my head to that lol.
@rok-sivnate your post this days is top notch and very deepen. You got read lines by lines before you can digest it properly.
My boss you are just too good, enjoying your articles but make it more easier for us as is too deep and the meaning is hanging on so many balances. Lol😊
🙏💖
@rok-sivante please where can i chat you privately, i have a project to share with you. Please boss i need you on this
Am on discord as @tfame3865
I’m still new to discord, couldn’t find that username. Mine is @sivante.
wow .............
post is amazing, but is it possible that the machine we can apply for ourselves and how the car run it to fit into our wishes.
fantastic !!!!!
Travel time is an ambiguous concept which is use in quantum physics and astronomy too.
Time machine quite a huge phenomenon. Perhaps, we could digest it by understudying the terms singly.
Travel time holistically is a fascinating science area
Hii my friend @rok-sivante, I have not understand much about these topics, you shared because i am not of this field.
But I always like to visit and upvote you to support you. Quality content you shared always. My best wishes for you. stay Blessed.
waw post cool, like hypnotized yourself😅
We are the functional time-machines (thought, word, action) that create the Quantum Universe.
Hearing physics, mathematics and chemistry are the things I worry about most when I'm studying in school. But I like to follow your writing. Nice too meet you sir @rok-sivante
amazing technology in my opinion and also very important science, thanks for sharing @rok-sivante
very interesting if you have to keep walking and take a long time. Good job @rok-sivante
it's a very interesting article for me. if in my opinion personal time machine is something we have to face in this life, suppose at this moment we are in a difficult position, so what we have to do is how we should try out in that position. that's advice from me, hopefully useful for us all
I have just published an article about time and I'd really be happy if you check it out and leave me your opinion on it in the comments below the article. Thank you for sharing this one!
I am new on Steemit so I'd really love to make some friends here! If you want for us to support each other, please show me some love on my account and I will make sure I keep reading your lovely articles! :)
tip: would be more effective if you hyperlinked "an article about time" to the article... ;-)
I wonder if I am becoming addicted; I can’t get enough of quantum physics, which has captured─and simultaneously liberated─my imagination beyond belief. My appetite for what it is revealing feels insatiable. The more I study it, the more I feel as if I am mutating, metamorphosizing, becoming quantum-physicized into a higher state of coherence in my very soul. Words fail me when I try to describe the realm of pure and utter magic that is quantum theory. Unlike a typical addiction─wherein energy gets drained─the more that I enter(tain) the world of quantum physics, the more creative energy makes itself available to me. I feel convinced that what it is revealing to us is of crucial importance for the future of humanity.

PHYSIC SCIENCE APPLICATION FOR SUCCES
Thank you for these mind-blowing ideas, rok-sivante.
This is really amazing to see such visual aids in your blog because according to modern technologies everything is going to possible now a days, even whatever had happened, whatever is happening or whatever is going to happen is the signs of technologies,
Day by day Inventions and Innovations are being introduced and here the same thing you have done in your blog,
very impressive! Thanks for sharing,,,
