The bending of time and space is usually reserved for science fiction and the dreams of young kids who enjoy the thoughts and fantasy of being great space captains and saving the galaxy. Now if we imagine both time and space being physical things, thing that could be changed, or bent, to our will, we will get the basis of the idea we are trying to present. Space is already viewed as physical, as space doesn’t necessarily mean the “Final Frontier” but as the area around us and all that it contains, but we don’t have the capability of being able to alter it in any great way, only use it has it was given to us. Time is seen not as a thing at all, but a perception of the world, or space, around us and how it moves and travels, depending on the …show more content…
Now bend that paper in half so those two points are right on top of each other and imagine (since you can’t draw this one) the line representing the new shortest distance. Now consider, if you will, being able to do with actual space itself. Bending the entire universe, and this time I mean physically bending it to be able to change the shortest distance to such a distance that it’s like being able to take a step there, but since physically bending it is even weirder, we’re metaphysically bending it by sending broken up particles to another point where they will be reconstructed into the item originally broken up. One could even argue that in this process the original is copied and destroyed and an entirely new one walks away, or if it isn’t a live thing, a new one is obtained, but in such perfect detail to the original, or if this isn’t its first time it’s gone, a perfect copy of another perfect copy, meaning that there would be no complications caused by moving a copy. But we’re humans, and once this technology is real, it is my own personal belief that this won’t be a perfect process. So space is a physical thing that can be represented by say, a piece of paper, and then that piece of paper can be physically bent to describe the physical to metaphysical relationship to how it works when someone would bend it to make the shortest distance between the two points event shorter. Now we can discuss how time works, which is as much a question of
String theory is defined by Merriam-Webster as, “A physical theory in which one-dimensional loops travel through space and also merge and lyse as time elapses. This is in contrast to ordinary quantum field theory, which predicts point particles that emit and absorb each other. String theory is a candidate for a Theory of Everything.” String theory would solve the long fight between Einstein’s theory of relativity and Quantum Physics.
According to Merriam-Webster’s a hero is defined as “exhibiting or marked by courage and daring” or a person who’s “supremely noble or self-sacrificing”, meaning you don’t have to be a superhero to be considered heroic. Doing something that has a significant effect on society or changing the way something appears to be, makes one heroic; therefore, Albert Einstein is heroic in numerous ways.
The Special Theory of relativity is an acknowledged physical theory that revolutionized advancements in the relationship between space, and time. The theory is one of the most interesting discoveries that are still used today in science fiction movies such as Star Wars, and Star Trek through the use of black holes, and time travel due to it’s astonishing results, and it occurrence at speeds close to the speed light, which can be appealing to a wide range of audience. This was a harvest from six years of extremely handwork by Albert Einstein. Einstein used resources that were widely available to the public due to his economic constraints. It wasn’t until 1905, when Einstein finally had finished and published his discoveries, and gatherings
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has had as a strategy the development of space exploration. All missions from the most historical to those planned, have been directed under the same institution to enrich the scientific knowledge of the Earth, the solar system and the universe. However, the goals, the accomplishments and errors committed throughout the history of the space, technological advances and experiences in each of the missions, have been making the differences. The Apollo mission is an example of the first attempts to landing on the moon, and the planned Mars mission is an example for traveling to the Red Planet; both were created through NASA, but their goals, historical epoch
4. What is meant by the phase “looking out in the universe is looking back in time?”
"For those of us who believe in physics, this separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however tenacious." Albert Einstein
Theories of relativity Almost 65% youth come from families with substance abuse problems “(Facts and Figures)”. There are so many young people that live on streets and get inventible health problems during a time of rapid adolescent growth “(Fact and Figures)”. Theories of Relativity, by Barbara Haworth-Attard, is about a teenager who has been kicked out of his house and now is living on the streets begging to survive. He is also having troubles from drug dealers, prostitutes, and gangs from the streets. This novel shows that the major dangers for street kids are a lack of jobs, drugs, physical and emotional pains.
We plan our day around different times of the day. Time tells us when to eat, when to sleep, and how long to do things for. If time were based on these simple terms, then this mysterious enigma would not be in debate. There are the issues of space and time; what is the relationship
It could argued that our common-sense notion of endurance through time is incorrect. That this mistaken self-conception lead us to experience the passage of time. If so, this would be illusory no? And if this enduring ‘me’ is an illusion then so is the passage of time.
What is time travel? Inevitably, it involves a discrepancy between time and time. Any traveler departs and then arrives at his destination; the time elapsed from departure to arrival (positive, or perhaps zero) is the duration of the journey. But if he is a time traveler, the separation in time between departure and arrival does not equal the duration of his journey. He departs; he travels for an hour, let us say; then he arrives. The time he reaches is not the time one hour after his departure. It is later, if he has traveled toward the future; earlier, if he has traveled toward the past. If he has traveled far toward the past, it is earlier even than his departure (p. 145).
In Einstein’s curved-space-time universe, things are far more flexible. You always move into the future, traveling through time second by second, but not able to go through any faster. It is still called time travel because to move through time. It is called moving on a time-like curve through space-time. If the curve becomes too large, it loops in, causing time loops and becoming a closed time-like curve. Such phenomena is predicted by the Theory of General Relativity, that time will “loop”, resulting in a person to relive a certain part of his/her live over
In order to attempt to trace the origins of the modern science that we now refer to
In this paper I will be discussing the concept of the paradox, examples from Zeno and McTaggart, and how modern science has potential solved the paradox put forth by McTaggart. Both of these paradoxes have a enormous repercussion on how objective fact about the world can be understood. I claim that McTaggart’s theory of time can be solved by modern physics as Einstein’s theory of relativity makes time a relative factor in how time is understood.
Relativity is a theory in physics that can be basically implies that space and time are one in the same. This is absolutely counterintuitive to classical physics which has the two as completely different entities. Relativity can be separated into two basic concepts: Special and General Relativity. Within Relativity the fundamental concept above all else is that space and time are intertwined with each other in the universe as a fabric called space-time. Simply put, Special Relativity deals with the laws of Physics when observers are all moving uniformly relative to each other while General Relativity expands on the idea to include gravitation and acceleration.

It is paradoxical to have a course, which revolves round the corrosiveness of faulted Western notions of time and its depiction through abstraction, identify itself with an abstract title but argue for the concreteness and tangibility of the portrayal of time and space. A Place Beyond Time does just that. Containing a vastly abstract title, A Place Beyond Time may at first glance appear to properly relate time as a tangent notion with space. Upon further contemplation, however, it becomes patent that A Place Beyond Time possesses a conspicuous absence present in its philosophy of aloofness from intangibility. And although the name of the course attempts to tackle and manifest the complications of abstract and concrete time, it is through its lack of definition and precision, lack of possession, and lack of sensation of repetition that A Place Beyond Time fails to properly capitalize on this dilemma.
